Rival Zep?

I don't think so. Sounds like it might be a good band though.

I don't think it will be as good as led zeppelin

And I hate Sammy Hagar, not his voice but he turned Van Halen into a crappy pop band

As good as Zep? ( Your kidding right)

Sounds like Chickenfoot need a few extra bucks?

And Sammy tell us what your really think.

Actually, I could very well be wrong, but I swear I read somewhere that Van Halen's going in that direction was more-so Eddie Van Halen than anyone else. Hagar's arrival certainly did not help, but Eddie was already experimenting with synths/keyboards (which many often point to as when Van Halen became more 'pop') before Hagar replaced Lee Roth.

With that said, the only Van Hagar I actively like is 5150, which I easily consider the last remotely good album the band ever did.

Anyway...as good as Zeppelin, eh? Some mighty high expectations there...
