A band from an era where rock music was actually fun. Not this miserable and whiny shite we get fed today. 🤮

No matter the album, Eddie Van Halen's guitar wizardry is always mindblowing for me. Almost every song they did is jampacked full of insane riffs and solos, and honestly Alex Van Halen deserves way more respect as a drummer his live drum solos are pretty fantastic and the double bass drum work on "Hot For Teacher" is insane, and ofc the drum solo on "Light Up The Sky" is phenomenal.

Van Hagar is arguably where VH was at its peak. DLR was a great frontman, but Hagar allowed them to expand

Eddie's guitar techniques are genius and impressive, Alex Van Halen's drumming is also stellar. But lyrically they got this fun party vibe. Great band

I once ran into DLR at a dive bar in Tampa, was pretty starstruck at first, finally working up the courage to speak to him. I sat on the stool by him, said my name and held my hand out for him to shake. DLR then grabbed my hand and raised it to his mouth, and sucked on my fingers. I screamed really loud and the bartender started spraying him with water. DLR finally relented, yelped, grabbed a 14 year old girl, and ran to the bathroom. According to the bartender, he does that quite often when he's drank too much

I do like carnal knowledge, not as big on 5150 but all their post DLR albums have their moments :) I actually like VH3 more than most.

Roth was better as a live frontman than he was a singer, and all the early albums sound way too similar. Hagar allowed them to explore more routes (Right Now, Dreams, Can't Stop Loving You). Cherone just sucked at being original

Id disagree on sounding too similar, I agree wit the notion they peaked with Dave but had a lot of great songs with Hagar (i love 5150 and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge) but I cant stand OU812

Brilliantly said :) Without Roth they lost their edge and became "friendly". No more taking whiskey to the party looking for a semi-good looking girl to squeeze :(

Não fazia ideia que o Van halen era tão bom até o Red hot fazer aquela homenagem. Nunca gostei da música Jump, mas os dois primeiros álbuns pegam pesado

Im guessing since its the only one published by a different company than Warner Bros. so there's copyright disputes

One of the best rock bands to ever exist, I love the DLR era and I like a couple Sammy albums too! I miss Eddie.

Their cover of You Really Got Me is fantastic. There's a certain way Eddie plays it and that was one of the first songs I learned to play on the electric guitar. I believe I learned how to play The Kinks way of playing it and then Eddie's way of playing it. Eruption was another early song I learned to play on the electric guitar as well.

The band disbanded in 2020 after Eddie Van Halen's death, not 2019, just see the "Years Active" section.

I always thought the line "you know you're semi-good lookin'" was genius. That little detail by adding "semi" gives it extra character. What a song overall!

Roth knew that'd pique the girl's interest and she'd want to prove "no, I really AM good looking, here I'll change your mind" ;)

A wee bit too commercial for my tastes, but hey they were legendary and it's a bloody shame that Eddie Van Halen died. :(
