This is absolutely true. Hard to understand today, but back in the late 70's and early 80's Van Halen was in a proverbial league of their own. Kind of similar to Prince in the 80's and 90's.

I've never seen anyone like them. I saw them in Houston in '82. Dave was talking his shit to some girls up front. Chick tried to give him $20 to see her later I guess. He said "You can't even look at it for that". Then from the middle of the floor somebody launches a black Allstar tennis shoe. Perfect arch seemed like it took forever as everyone kind hushed all at once. It hit's Dave right in the forehead. He never saw it coming with all the lights. He went down on one knee and got right back up. He said something like "That's ok I'm gonna fuck your girlfriend tonight. What a jerk to throw something when those guys are playing their hearts out. Probably the best show band with the most talented musicians ever. They had a charisma about them that was like no other. (Rusty)

i think i read that at the oakland show they only filmed the 3 songs shown here. i think to save $ on film tape which was expensive. i believe they were filming these songs just to make a promo for the fair warning album (hence filming 3 FW songs). not to make a full concert movie. which obviously bites.

@radicalbrad3628 Жыл бұрын

If you tried to give us cell phones (of course impossible ) we would throw them in the bonfire. We did not want anyone to find us, track us nothing. We came out to play. And we played Hard!!

I truly believe Eddie took it to the Next level with his father in the audience.

I just heard Eddie's first interview, and, it's unreal how good Eddie was. he played guitar for about 8 years when he recorded the debut album, which mostly was recorded live inside the studio. he used tube amps and pushed them to the edge, with modified input voltage. and after a maximum of 10 hrs, the amps gave up. the tubes had to be changed. but he kept on doing that because nothing sounded like it. one of the reasons for his unbelievable sound on the first album. the 2nd album it sounds a bit different but still out of this world. Eddie's impact on music history and rock guitar playing is unmatched. all of the other great guitar players who came after Eddie are there because Eddie started it. The God of the guitar. It's not about dumb speed anymore, it is about how you play your notes. and nobody plays as ass-kicking as Eddie did.

Eddie Van Halen did not pass away, he just moved to Venus where it always rains metal 🤘🤘. But seriously, thank you so much, Sir Edward Van Halen, for the music you gave us and for being the legend that you were and forever will be. Your spirit will live on through your son and music. There WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER. Rest easy, kind sir. I love you man. God bless

They were untouchable back then! Back then no band wanted to open for them because it didn't matter how good they were the crowd would shred them to pieces because they were there to see the mighty VH. Their concerts were a massive party back then,and often sold out the same day they were released. I got lucky and won my tickets over the radio for the 1984 Tour.

The haters don't have a problem with DLR in 1978-'84. But, I dropped an INSANE amount of money to see the "reunion" in L.A. when I still lived out there, and it was a giant pile of dog-sh!t. Between, DLR not singing a note (literally), and Eddie being so drunk, he didn't know what song he was playing, not to mention Wolfie on bass. I don't have a big problem with Wolfie, but he ain't Michael. It was no more of a reunion than it was a legitimate concert. So, the criticism the last 10yrs of the band was absolutely warranted. That said, no one...and I mean NO ONE could touch this band during these years. A lot of people don't realize that early KISS put on a show with this much drive and energy, as well. But, those days are all but forgotten because of the sh*t-show that band is today. But, I digress...
