I've seen Van halen several times, at one point it felt like they were the summer party every summer during the 80s and 90s...The key to the the rhythm section is Alex alway played to Ed's guitar, that's the reason why people think he played behind the beat. Al also would do things like play the cymbals quieter and more contained to accentuate the guitar part. Al was a critical listener to what was being played. Some drummers throw down the grove and everyone plays to that, not the case with Van Halen. If you look at the final Van Halen tour in 2015 they were so incredibly tight, 3 Van Halen's all of whom were drummers, Ed and Wolf both Drummers first.

I saw them the following year…and I saw them two more times in the Sammy era. Alex and Eddie began being trained as concert pianists at an early age….and then Alex started playing guitar and Eddie began playing drums…they eventually switched….they even had a band with two other brothers that were kids from the neighborhood, called “The Broken Combs”. Their father was a professional jazz musician who played clarinet and saxophone and I think their mother played piano.

Van Halen have sold 34 million albums with Roth as opposed to 18 million with Hagar. Check the RIAA numbers if you don't believe. In addition the reunion tour with Roth in '07 blew the reunion tour in '04 with Hagar away in every way possible including: average tickets sold per night, total tickets sold for the tour, and gross revenue (source is Pollstar). It wasn't even close, the reunion with Roth in '07 was VH's biggest tour ever by a wide margin. Sammy Hagar (and his fans) have always been intensely jealous of David Lee Roth because they know the numbers don't lie. Van Halen's legacy as a band with always lie with David Lee Roth. Eddie even admitted shortly after VH fired Hagar in the mid 90s that Warner Brothers originally wanted to release 2 separate greatest hits albums in 1996, one with only Roth era songs, and one with only Hagar era songs, to be sold separately. And Eddie said Hagar basically went ballistic because he was scared the Roth CD would outsell his, and it WOULD HAVE. Eddie also admitted in an interview several years before he died that the public didn't really consider it to be the real VH unless Roth was fronting the band. And Roth is widely considered to be one of the greatest front men in rock history, he's an individual legend. Hagar is only relevant because he was in VH. Van Halen are in the R&Roll Hall Of Fame because of what they did from 1978-1984, and everyone knows this to be true. Roth is king.
