Bill Hardman Come on there is only one Dave. David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman,showman and entertainer in Rock 'N Roll history. Nobody can touch him!!! Nobody!!!

Yeah because Corey's probably 44 and Dave is 64. Dave has a lot of miles put on. Then add 10 more 😉😎

[@zookie688]

This is epic. Corey should get his third gig in Van Halen. He nailed it. Sadly DLR cant sing anymore

[@ronjepperson3457]

Gary Cherone was 3rd guy in VH so Corey would be 4th Singer as long as You don't count Guy that was with VH for 1 Week before DLR rejoined Band .

[@BillHardman]

Since VH wont do a tour with both DLR or Sammy how about they go out with both Sammy and Corey instead. Sam does the Van Hagar stuff and Corey does the DLR years. Now that is something I would go see.
