How come Eddie's guitar playing sounds way different on the Dave albums? Was it a different lifestyle, or did he just burn out and get sick of Sammy writing love songs all the time.
The magic to this album was a few things. They picked some real kick ass winners to go on there debut. What`s also magical is they did what no other band was doing at the time which was lay it down live in the studio then overdub the vocals. That`s why the album still moves people, the raw energy coming off the tracks is just intense.
There`s no polish, it`s just raw rock and roll. But it sounds so good you`d almost swear it was polished. That`s a testament to how good they were.
Ahhhhh Eeeeeee !! BEAUTIFUL GIRLSSSS!!! In New Orleans Baby !! Bought this 8 track tape at Peaches cursed da lake front and got some !! Dam ya gotta love the 70/80's Best time in my life and not a worry in the world !! If your between 14 & 30 listen to this and forget about everything !!
F*%k the comparisons between Dave and Sammy! I grew up on "Dave Halen" and it was and is awesome! I also listened to Sammy Halen and loved it, and still do . They each created great music for everyone. If you don't like one version listen too the other. I love Sammy In VH, but there is no denying VH with Dave. Shit, just listen to On fire and thats all you need to know. So, im going to continue to enjoy both while the rest of the complainers keep having a pissing contest- Cheers!
@pdtrainu i couldn't agree with you more! The original Van Halen was awesome, saw them on Women and Children First tour and Fair Warning tour.. So what's wrong with liking Hagar? He's definitely cool and Chickenfoot Rocks!
lil wayne is a nigga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! compared to these guys one time when even white liberals would agree that a caucasain is better at music dan a brudda
@Rosieisapunk1200 Do not say such thing. The riffs and melodies created from 1974 to 1984 were spectacular and had, in my humble opinion, more raw power than those of "5150" or "OU812", as an example.
@REDCOWLINGS Chickenfoot is as good or better than VH???? LMFAO, if you actually believe that you either need a new hearing aid or you need to get back on your meds, maybe both. As far as satriani being better than Eddie, yeah keep dreaming dipsheot! Satriani is a classic example of a technician who has poor composing abilities (like most of them)! He can't hold EVH's jock as far as ability to compose a great song and that is what makes a great player. Chickenfoot = dipsheot LOL
@ghostzapper2006 actually i disagree, i think satriani is a better guitarist and composer BUT eddie is still my favorite guitarist. chickenfoot isnt better than van halen, but chicknfoot is still amazing.
Whoa, an internet tough guy. Haven't dealt with those fakers before.
And you're one to talk about stupidity, having included not one lowercase letter in your previous post, nor proper punctuation, or even good taste. Chickenfoot is a good band, but nowhere near Van Halen.
Way to press charges on the other internet tough guy. Guess you really showed him, huh?
So Ronnie Jame Dio is greeted at Heavens gate by St.Peter and he hears the opening notes of Eruption and he says in horror "No not him too!!!" And St.Pete says "don't worry that's just God pretending he's Eddie again"
@MasterGuitaristKyle it isn't. In the pt when eddies doin harm and the other music stops, it sounds a lot different. Stryper makes a lot of other great covers too
@guitarrguyy1 Yeah I know....I was listening to it, and I was like "this sounds so van halenish...I wonder if stryper on fire and van halen on fire is the same song"
THAT being said..I walked home with it and was blown away by the sheer ferocity of the SOUND of the guitar 1st...then the vocals(how was that guy screaming like that) then the mix...with Eddie on the left...this album catapulted them to stardom which was great for them but also bad because they were no longer hungry nor had ANYTHING to prove....the world was blown away..so everything they did after that seemed pale in comparison...but we do have that album to run forever...say what you want abo
This is one of the greatest songs of all time off one of the best albums of all time let alone being probably the best debut hard rock album of all time...I bought this new in the store at K-mart because I heard "You Really Got Me" on the radio...I went to the cutout bin and pulled a $2 sticker off of something and slapped it right on top of the regular price then went to the old lady at the cash register and paid for it....probably the greatest $2 investment of all time!!!!
@DaygloCollective Lucifer's Friend, Uriah Heep, Budgie , Iron Claw, and Buffalo were also responsible and Blue Cheer too, hell, thers alot of bands u cud say laid the blueprints for metal to develop
Van Halen Kicks Serious Ass!!! Saw them at the Forum in Los Angeles on 6/20/81 and they opened the show with this song!!! They Kicked Serious Ass at that show!!!
FOR THOSE WHO THINK VAN HALEN RULES, I SALUTE YOU!!!
Sabbath didnt come around in the 80's, the first two Sabbath albums were released in 1970. Zepplin was a bubblegum band compared to stuff Sabbath was breaking ground with. Sabbath is the premier metal band, all other follow.
@mrwizzord Yeah Zep werent as 'heavy' as BS but still Zep have some of the most memorable riffs and tunes going. Anyway i still love both Zep and BS but for me its always gonna be about Blackmore in Deep Purple and Rainbow, but only the Dio stuff shit gets a little too 'mainstream' after that. Biggest problem with BS rhough is Iommi, seriously one of the most overrated guitarists in history, a lot of respect for the man and the stuff he wrote but come on compared to Blackmore he's a child :P
@foxwilliammulderx But we both know Van Halen come first above even many rock bands, so fuck the youtube search engine. How bout this?... We shoot that lil wang worm, he couldn't be as lucky as that 50 cent piece fucker.
This IS Rock n Roll!!! Not the bullshit they play these days. WTF is wrong with music today? U2 is the ONLY band that makes M-U-S-I-C. Thank God!!! It was great to see Van Halen Dial it up with DLR. Wish Michael Anthony was still with them. Rock n Roll will never die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@slockyboy There is no real Van Halen without Mike Anthony his backing vocals are van halen just as eddies guitar or daves vocals ! If one is missing there is no real van halen.
@underver Nah, the pioneers were Led Zeppelin. They were really the authors of Heavy Metal. Without them, bands like Van Halen probably wouldn't exist.
just spent some time listening to a few songs from 5150 and then came back to this...holy shit, compared to that album, this sounds wild, even dangerous! This is the REAL Van Halen!
@bareknuckles2u --Excellent description...Dangerous! Reckless! Just listen to how friggin' tight the band is at 1:20 it's scary I mean for '77/'78 sounds this shit is just balls out heavy as hell even for today! It's HAUNTING!
@DISNEYlover140 Please, I swear, if I see another comment from you, I want to kill you, set you on fire, do anything that will make you stop. Also, GET A LIFE!
I'm posting another comment at your latest 'JONES BROTHERS FTW... Van Halen is SHIT.' message. Now, I'm a person to accept other people's opinions, but I have to ask you to get a fucking life or, again, die otherwise. You 13-year old girl.
@DISNEYlover140 your name is disneylover and you like jonas brothers both of them are for girls under 12 your so manly plus if you like jonas brothers listern to them leave us alone we like metal you like pussy music
Man, I can remember being in elementary school in '81 and I was excited about my friend's birthday party because I could play this album and turn eveyone onto... only just the best band in the world..... VH are still my all time favorite band to this day. Best Rock N Roll lineup ever.
Im sitting here staring a week's worth of AP work do tomorrow. This song might be the only thing keeping me from killing myself at the moment. VH FUCKING RULES
I can't stand U2, talentless asses. Every song sounds the same. I refuse to give the "band of the decade" title to those asswipes. I'd sooner give it to Wham. As for Pearl Jam? Nah, they weren't as successful around the world. In America, Ten sold more than Nevermind, but globally, Nevermind is much, much higher. And they broke after Nirvana really got the ball rolling. As far as the 70's, I'd say Led Zeppelin. No other band had as much of an impact on stoner culture.
@TheGrungeLibertarian, as much as you dislike U2, I'd still definitely give them the band of the 00's, because they put out plenty of very high quality music, both on the main albums, and 'special release' albums of material they made from 2000 to 2009.
They're songwriters. Though they're not really a cultural force, like some other bands are, such as Beatles of the 60's, Zep of the 70's, various of the 80's, Nirvana of the 90's, and various of the 00's. The Shins of special note.
The way Eddie's guitar compliments Roth's ego here is magical!

Dear DISNEYlover140.(hey again, dumbass)
I'm posting another comment at your latest 'JONES BROTHERS FTW... Van Halen is SHIT.' message. Now, I'm a person to accept other people's opinions, but I have to ask you to get a fucking life or, again, die otherwise. You 13-year old girl.

Man, I can remember being in elementary school in '81 and I was excited about my friend's birthday party because I could play this album and turn eveyone onto... only just the best band in the world..... VH are still my all time favorite band to this day. Best Rock N Roll lineup ever.

I can't stand U2, talentless asses. Every song sounds the same. I refuse to give the "band of the decade" title to those asswipes. I'd sooner give it to Wham. As for Pearl Jam? Nah, they weren't as successful around the world. In America, Ten sold more than Nevermind, but globally, Nevermind is much, much higher. And they broke after Nirvana really got the ball rolling. As far as the 70's, I'd say Led Zeppelin. No other band had as much of an impact on stoner culture.

@TheGrungeLibertarian, as much as you dislike U2, I'd still definitely give them the band of the 00's, because they put out plenty of very high quality music, both on the main albums, and 'special release' albums of material they made from 2000 to 2009.
They're songwriters. Though they're not really a cultural force, like some other bands are, such as Beatles of the 60's, Zep of the 70's, various of the 80's, Nirvana of the 90's, and various of the 00's. The Shins of special note.
