It’s no surprise that David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar have maintained a feud that’s lasted decades.

Each man fronted Van Halen during years of massive success, each man brought their own distinctive style to the group and each man is an icon in their own regard.

Adding fuel to the fire, generations of fans who pledge allegiance to one of the two camps. Put simply, most Van Halen worshipers are either Roth fans or Hagar fans (sorry, Gary Cherone).

In the same way that your ex wife doesn’t get along with your new girlfriend -- regardless of how much they have in common -- Roth and Hagar were never going to be bosom buddies. There’s simply too much pride involved.

Still, that didn’t stop them from trying to play nice. In 2002, when both men were no longer involved in Van Halen, Roth and Hagar embarked on the Heavyweight Champs tour. "Sam and I are like fraternity brothers that have been through the same shitty hazing," Roth said at the time. "There's a rivalry between us, so the audience gets the absolute best out of both of us. You have to think of it as two title fights with no under card.”

That’s just one chapter in the long history of incidents between Roth and Hagar. Join us as we take a deeper dive into the classic rock feud on this week's edition of Rock Feuds.
