EXTD=G EXPERT REVIEW: It's no secret that there's a deep animosity between Van 
EXTD=Halen -- particularly their leader, guitarist Edward (formerly Eddie) Van 
EXTD=Halen -- and their former frontman, David Lee Roth. His 1985 departure was
EXTD= acrimonious, and while his solo career paled in comparison to Van Halen's
EXTD= continued success with Sammy Hagar as their frontman, the group never esc
EXTD=aped the shadow of Diamond Dave. No matter how many number one albums and 
EXTD=singles they racked up, no matter how many shows they sold out, fans and c
EXTD=ritics alike preferred their gonzo days with Roth, and kept hounding the b
EXTD=and for a reunion. Edward held his ground for years, but once the band stu
EXTD=mbled with 1995's Balance, he reconsidered, courting Dave for an ill-fated
EXTD= minireunion for the 1996 hits compilation The Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1 -
EXTD=- a move that resulted not just in two enjoyable albeit underwhelming new 
EXTD=songs, but also the alienation of Sammy, who left the band over this issue
EXTD=. Van Halen recruited Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone for 1998's Van Halen I
EXTD=II, but instead of offering a new beginning, the album torpedoed the group
EXTD='s career, losing them fans and eventually their record contract. Years pa
EXTD=ssed with no activity from the band, and the silence whetted the appetite 
EXTD=for a reunion -- which for many meant a reunion with Dave, not Sammy, but 
EXTD=bad blood can run deep, so when Edward pulled the rest of the band togethe
EXTD=r for a comeback tour in 2004, he chose Hagar as the frontman. To promote 
EXTD=the tour, the band assembled a new hits compilation, the double-disc, 36-t
EXTD=rack Best of Both Worlds. On the surface, this seemed like an ideal soluti
EXTD=on to the problems that plagued the half-baked Best Of, which at one disc 
EXTD=couldn't possibly have fit the hits from both the Dave and Sam eras, but B
EXTD=est of Both Worlds turns out to be another botched collection, and one of 
EXTD=the reasons it doesn't work as well as it should is that animosity toward 
EXTD=David Lee Roth.\n\nSince the band's sound and popularity were built on the
EXTD= records they made with Roth, there was no way for Van Halen to ignore his
EXTD= contribution, but they do their damnedest to diminish it here. There are 
EXTD=no pictures of Diamond Dave to be found in the artwork (unless you count t
EXTD=he miniature reproductions of the sleeves of Van Halen and Women and Child
EXTD=ren First) and David Wild's liner notes mention him only twice -- once whe
EXTD=n he joins the band, once when he leaves -- while conspicuously lavishing 
EXTD=praise on Sammy. As petty as this swipe is, it's understandable and could
