I gotta side with VH on this one. I think Metallica probably rocks harder...but VH (not Hagar) probably had one of the best band personalities ever. VH also had a number of very (pop) radio-friendly hits.
Heavy metal vs hard rock has undermined this non-poll poll from the beginning I celebrate both their early collections
Used to like Metallica. Dislike both now. But Metallica seems way less cheesy. Both bands reek of Sherlock's Baker St. Pub. Lulz.
I remember listening to every Metallica studio album except St. Anger. Don't remember any Van Halen after F.U.C.K.
Brass tacks EVH is the better guitarist but I could listen to Metallica all day while I get sick of DLR’s vocals after about an hour. Metallica had a longer, better run than VH, too. As @Buck Turgidson mentioned, really a different genre.
lol what are you 12? Sorry for having an opinion. Your a jackass but that's okay. Keep making threads about 55 year olds your banging.
