How many singers did Van Halen have? What happen to them? Where are they now?

The singer is Gary Cherone, previously of Extreme. Unfortunatly I've no idea who the nice young lady is.\n\nVan Halen have had three singers, David Lee Roth ('74 to '85), then Sammy Hagar ('85 to '95), back to David Lee Roth in 1996 for 2 tracks on 1st Greatest Hits album, then to Gary Cherone for 1 album (Van Halen III), then back to Sammy Hagar for 2004 Greatest Hits album and subsiquent tour.\n\nNothing since then though - it's all gone quiet.

Wow!  That's a hard one as, they both are so great! I guess I would have to say Rush though as, they are a true "3 piece"! Van Halen is "3 piece with vocals"! However, I have to say Eddie is the better axe player but, Geddy Lee (in my opinion) smokes Michael Anthony on Bass and vocals!

I haven't thought about them in a long time. Call me a poseur for saying it, but Lovelife was my favorite album by them. I played the hell out of it when I was in college. Miki was smokin hot too.

They didn't actually breakup they all have different bands and projects they are working on at the present time like Corey Taylor in Stone Sour and Joey Jordison in Murderdolls, but they all will eventually come back because they are way too popular to call it quits!

Thanks for the head's up.  I heard them on XM satellite on The Torch.  Great guitar work.  Now that they're getting airplay?  They're breaking up?

No the Clash is no longer a band. I was a huge fan. I think London's Calling was there best album. One of the first (popular) member combinations Simonon,Strummer,Jones & Headon only three are still living. Joe Strummer died in 2002. I have seen all of there offspring bands and member changes & the original ones were the best. They were officially "broke up" in 1986. Hope that helps?

The only thing I can think of is Further Seems Forever.  Chris Carrabba used to be in that band.  When he left they got a new singer, then he left and they got a new singer, then they broke up for good.

I agree 100%.  These bands today are all toe gazers, constantly depressed.  Dio has a very good new album out.  I'd kill for a Grand Funk Railroad reunion.  The problem is a lot of these older bands have just one original member.   I saw Iron Butterfly about 10 years ago and the singer was the only original member and he was so smashed he could barely stand up.  Bring back the NWOBHM.  Tygers of Pan Tang, Scorpions, Accept just to name a few.  Rock on and Rock hard.

It's just the flavor of the day.  Reality is what is hot now.  They still perform but aren't always able to get the whole band together for reunions.  I think they are at the point in their lives where they are not totally washed up but still need to put themselves out there and let people know they're still around.

A long, long time ago... \n"American Pie" reached #1 in 1972, shortly after it was released. Buddy Holly ; unfortunately, died in 1959.\n\nI can still remember how That music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, That I could make those people dance, And maybe they'd be happy for a while. \nSociologists credit teenagers with the popularity of Rock and Roll, as a part of the Baby boomer generation, they found themselves in a very influencial position. Their shear number were the force behind most of our country's recent major transitions. McLean was a teenager in 1959 and he begins by simply commenting that the music had an appealing quality to him as well as the millions of other teens. McLean also had an intense desire to entertain as a musician. His dream, to play in a band at high school dances, was the dream of many young boys who wanted to make people dance to Rock and Roll.\n\nBut February made me shiver, \nBuddy Holly died on February 3, 1959, in a plane crash in Iowa during a snowstorm. Its rumored that the name of the plane was: American Pie.\n\nWith every paper I'd deliver, \nDon McLean's only job besides being a full-time singer/song writer was being a paperboy.\n\nBad news on the doorstep... I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride \nHolly's recent bride was pregnant when the crash took place; she had a miscarriage shortly afterward.\n\nBut something touched me deep inside, The day the music died. \nThe same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly also tragically took the lives of Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace.") Since all three were so prominent at the time, February 3, 1959, became known as "The Day The Music Died."\nSo... \n(Refrain) Bye bye Miss American Pie, \n\n**Don McLean dated a Miss America candidate during a pageant and broke up with her on February 3, 1959. (Unconfirmed interpretation)\nSo its probably...\nJust a reference to the plane, "American Pie" that crahed. \nI drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry, Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing "This'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die." \nDriving the Chevy to the levee almost certainly refers to the three college students whose murder was the subject of the film 'Mississippi Burning.' The students were attempting to register as black voters, and after being killed by bigoted thugs their bodies were buried in a levee. Them good ol' boys being: Holly, Valens, and the Big Bopper, They were singing about their death on February 3. One of Holly's hits was "That'll be the Day"; the chorus contains the line "That'll be the day that I die."\n(Verse 2) Did you write the book of love, \n"The Book of Love" by the Monotones; hit in 1958."Oh I wonder, wonder who... who, who wrote the book of love?"\nAnd do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? \n**In 1955, Don Cornell did a song entitled "The Bible Tells Me So." It was difficult to tell if it was what McLean was referencing. Anyone know for sure? \nThere is also an old Sunday School song that goes:"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so" McLean was somewhat religious.\n\nNow do you believe in rock 'n roll? \nThe Lovin' Spoonful had a hit in 1965 with John Sebastian's "Do you Believe in Magic?". The song has the lines: "Do you believe in magic" and "It's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll."\nCan music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? \nMusic was believed to "save the soul" and slow dancing was an important part of early rock and roll dance events. Dancing declined in importance through the 60's as things like psychedelia and the 10-minute g

GRRRRrrrrr, why stir things up man??\n\nThe folks who really love Halen, love the Halen that's never changed. Eddie, Alex and Mike!\n\n51/50 Kicks ass!!! They didn't have a number one album before that! (to be fair MJ kept 1984 from reaching that spot)\nWho gives a rip if Sammy can sing "Panama" the way old Dave did? Sam has heart and that counts for so much, over the cocky obnoxious now croaking singing voice of Roth. \nHave you seen Roth lately???? He looks so washed up, it's actually sad and I don't have much more than a ounce of love for the guy. Sam on the otherhand, he's older but he's still rocking better than people half his age!!! \nDavid holds a lot of sway with "guys", because he was as raunchy as they ever hoped of being but didn't dare. What these fellas don't realize is they are admiring a guy who is quoted as saying, "The Van Halen boys taught me music, and I taught them how to buy shoes " Do you really want to look up to a guy who could have done a guest spot on Sex and the City, not as a hook-up but someone who'd help Carrie pick out some new kicks???!!!???\n\nGreensboro, NC 2004 opening show of most recent tour. the crowd STAYED on their feet, sang along the whole time and basically fell in love with Van Halen (that is Eddie and Alex's last name I'll have you know) all over again. And the fellas couldn't have done it without Sammy.\n\nRock on VH

Lynyrd Skynyrd would have been awesome! the Eagles, Pink Floyd, and the Doors. Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin too! What a waste of great talent.

I havent watched wrestling in a long time, but i've been told a lot of wrestlers from back in the day are around again, so it might be kinda nostalgic to see some reunite..\n\nbut, of the ones you've listed, i know that scott hall, x-pac, and road dogg all were let go due to substance abuse problems and generally being a pain to deal with backstage. i think billy gunn was another that wasnt liked backstage. the guy from the hardy boys left because he wasnt happy in the WWf/WWE ( whatever it was when he left). and after the whole thing with Chyna/HHH and then Chyna/Xpac.... i dont think you'll see her back. \n\nwho knows, stranger things have happened. but, i think that they'd need a group to feud with that was on par with them. i cant think of another group that was good enough since the Hart Foundation was around. Bret wont ever wrestle again, Bulldog and Owen passed away, so did Brian Pillman.... so, i cant think of anyone to take up the opposition for DX. maybe Undertaker could put a group together?\n\ni'd pick the Clique to get back together. 3 or 4 guys, easier to keep track of than a big stable, and they seem like guys who'd at least try to not get fired within the first month. lol. and one of my wrestling junkie friends told me that scott hall has been getting back in shape and trying to stay clean to make a comeback, so, who knows?
