But this leaves me with a few questions: 1) Why did David Lee Roth leave? more importantly, 2) what is Hagar's appearance going to do to VH's sound (besides vocally)? Actaually, I look at the move optimistically. that's probably because I enjoy the "harder" Van Halen stuff (Van Halen, VHII, especially). Any comments? answers? Steve scooper@brl-tgr
