I have never heard a more perfect synopsis of Eddie and Dave’s relationship than what you said at the 27:11 mark “In the beginning….” That is exactly spot on! The best partnerships are where people bring different but equally as strong skillsets to the cause. Dave was the quintessential Rock Star and Eddie was the mad genius. But like most partnerships that thing that makes them great is also what makes tears then apart. I respect and appreciate both men, I don’t blame either. It was what it was. RIP Eddie, and thank you both for being the soundtrack of my youth!

@dukecraig2402 7 ай бұрын

Van Halen's first 4 albums are their greatest works, after that they sucked, Diver Down, 1984, that was just pop nonsense and not what'd made them great, when their first album came out in 1978 in the middle of all that Disco nonsense it was like a breath of fresh air, but after their 4th album when MTV took a hold of them I think it went to their heads. I was in the Army when they broke up and frankly didn't care, and as far as I was concerned Sammy Hagar joining them was his downfall to, Montrose and his first few solo albums especially Standing Hampton were fantastic, after he got with Van Halen it seems like their egos feed off each other and inflated to Mt Rushmore size fluff. But those first 4 Van Halen albums will always be the only one's I've ever owned, and have always owned.

I lived in North Hollywood in the mid 80s. I remember seeing Ed driving in his Lamborghini on Ventura Blvd many times. He rented video tapes at a place called " 20/20 Video " by the Ralphs supermarket off of Ventura like we did. I went in there once with my Dad and the guy at the counter asked " Do you like Van Halen ? " I of course said " YEA "... He said , " Well , there he goes ! " Ed was walking out the door. I just watched. I would've never approached him when I was 15. I wish now that I would've at least tried !!! Lol

You know what’s crazy, 1984 is a great album. Every song is excellent. I hate to see people talk bad about the Sammy Hagar era of VH because it was Eddies idea. He was the one who wanted to go in a different direction and asked Sammy to come join the band. He really wanted to expand on the keyboard aspect of song creation and did what he did with that in mind I think (in my opinion).

And in the next clip he says " Leader of the band lead singer of the band what's the difference ? " Sam's big ego and mouth is to blame .

Great work! I’m grateful I lived through these years and had their music as my soundtrack track to my youth/teen years. To me, they were the best band.

All the stories are interesting, but the music is what gets me every time. I will listen to it until I go deaf or die. Thanks to everyone that made all of the music happen, it was/is great!!!
