In 1981, Van den Berg worked with vocalist Jos Veldhuizen, bassist Griff "Studly" McGrath, and drummer Bico De Gooijer in a band called Teaser. This line-up didn't last long, and Van den Berg then hired Bert Heerink (vocals), Dick Kemper (bass), and Jos Zoomer (drums). With this line-up, Teaser recorded a demo that landed onto the desk of pop-journalist Kees Baars. Baars offered to manage the group, and contracted the band at Atlantic Records in the U.S.
Their self-titled debut album was recorded at the former Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page's studio, Sol Studios, and in 1983 their first single "Burning Heart" reached #39 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. Vandenberg toured the U.S. as opening act for Ozzy Osbourne and KISS, and toured independently in Japan in 1984. "Different Worlds" from the second album Heading For A Storm also did fairly well, but did not equal the success of "Burning Heart".
