How Van Halen Survived Losing David Lee Roth

When David Lee Roth left Van Halen, many fans thought the band was finished.

Then they brought in Sammy Hagar and released 5150.

Featuring hits like “Why Can’t This Be Love,” “Dreams,” and “Love Walks In,” the album showed a more melodic side of the band while still delivering the signature guitar brilliance of Eddie Van Halen.

The gamble paid off. 5150 became Van Halen’s first #1 album and proved the band could thrive after its biggest lineup change.
