Today I was driving down the road with my dad and he had just bought three new Van Halen CD's. Well they're not new, but you get the point. Anyway we were driving because in Georgia you can get a Permit Liscence when you're 15, but a parent has to be in the car when you drive.
To make a short story shorter, he pops these in and I hear the solo called "Eruptioin," and all I could say was wow. That was some SWEET guitar playing. I don't know if you guys have heard this stuff, it's before my time, but if you haven't CHECK IT OUT! IT IS GOOD! The great thing about them is that they used their guitars to be good. They didn't have to use any type of image to draw a croud. They weren't a boy band, they weren't a grunge scream into the mic band, they weren't gay to draw attention to themselves, they didn't swear in their music...they just tore the guitar to literal pieces. Listen To Van Halen Now! Oh, and just a suggestion, turn your speakers all the way up before you cut it on for the full blasting effect.

Old Van Halen kicks considerable ass. "Women and Children First" is one of the best albums ever. As far as I'm concerned, Van Halen ended when Diamond Dave left the band. All of their stuff with Hagar blows.

Yeah my dad said we were listening to the stuff that was before the new guy. He said after that new guy came they had a whole new sound and everything. I like the original. It was KILLER!

Eruption's cool. i'm sure it was crazy as hell when it first came out, but it's nothing special now.

man, when i first heard eruption, my jaw was on the floor. i was 13 and at summer camp (i'd also just started playing guitar) and my counselor played it for me. when i got home, i instantly learned how to fret tap, and now, five years later, i've perfected it.

Van Halen 1 and 1984 are their best albums, even though david lee roth is an asshole.

Van Halen does seriously rock.everyone in this forum is correct.theres almost no bands today that can touch their old school albums...

van halen I and van halen II are aweseom but there music did start going to mainstream and synthesizer before roth left. like the song " Jump" which is on the album "1984" is an example of them changing.
