VAN HALEN: OLD vs. NEW

As you’ve probably heard, the new Van Halen album is due soon. The world awaits.

May 3, 1987

Yee-hah! Everybody on Pluto knows that Van Halen be the coolest band in the world, so why should Earth be any different? As is well-known, however, famed singer David Lee Roth recently left Van Halen to begin his own solo career, and the dapper crooner was replaced with living metal legend Sammy Hagar/ You can just bet that a storm of controversy has been generated by this dramatic twist o’ fate! So excuse us while we dig up letters from readers of both METAL and our “sister” mag, CREEM, concerning this Hagar addition! Aren’t these letters great? Where do you stand, anyway? Who do you like better? You’d better write in and tell us! In the meantime, dig in and enjoy this heapin’ helpin ’ of METAL letters from you— the wonderful readers of METAL, who have now apparently learned to write an’ everything! We love ya, you’re wonderful, let’s have lunch, you’re showbiz, baby!

VAN HALEN NOW GODLIKE!!
