Wow, two great Humans. One destroyed a perfectly good hard rock band, disappointing millions and one was a lost slave owner who helped conquer an indigenous people paving the way for the holocaust that followed forming the basis of the United States of America.. Way to go.

whoa whoa whoa. I don't know if the red rocker destroyed Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen destroyed it by getting all pissy with David Lee Roth. Sammy just stepped into a position that frankly most anyone would love to try out. Imagine someone said to you, would you like to be the lead singer of Van Halen? of course you would give it a try. Also, i don't know if Van Halen represents the man that is the Red Rocker.

Gotta go for the guy who "discovered" the new world over the blonde woman who broke up Van Halen.

that day may soon be coming...baby steps GayCowboy, but it's a start - On May 23, 2006, San Bernardino County California supervisors declared the day to be "Sammy Hagar Day". Hagar showed up at the county chamber with his mother, Gladys. He then gave a short speech, posed with commissioners for photos, embraced his mother, and left through a back door

Great thread today. Laughed reading every single post. Except buttholios, that one I laughed at. I gotta go with 'ol Chris as well. Sammy sings about kicking ass but Columbus did so. You would be all pissy too if you had to wipe with your hands. That is unless of course your buttholio in which case he is used to it. IF someone said "hey you wanna be the second singer in Van Halen? " I would want to, sure but ultimately I would have to think that I wouldn’t want to be "that guy who fucked up Van Halen" and would turn it down. Just the story would get me mad pussy though.

Check it. Sammy is a hammy, should live in Miami. The only thing that sucks more is a shamy. – Ask your mammy or your pops, I pop and lock like pop rocks, and with or without socks I got rocks like Columbus killin’ flocks. – Of the red man, I bust Redman through New Jersey, Comin up close on your bumper so I know that you fuckin’ heard me. – Columbus caused a ruckus back in 1492 and if you step to me I will burn your villages too. – Or give you small pocks from blankets, my rhyming is damn thankless, Ill spit out your bones and make them into anklets. -killer
