Good lord, this reminds me of the almost frantic way in which I sat down working to learn all these songs. As a young guy in a rock band, this album was a boon for us ass-kicking rockers. Those first six albums provided so much material for loud, ass-kicking rock and roll. Perfection.

React to Beautiful Girls - DLR is funny and cool - he shines big time. Man Van Halen was the band! Nobody really wanted to tour with them because they knew they would be blown off the stage. There is a reason they were called The Mighty Van Halen. Never again will there be a band like them. Remember, react to Beautiful Girls Mr Biz!

Ya gotta love those old Van Halen tracks..... Diamond Dave's voice was as important as Eddie's Guitar.. in the late 70's Van Halen was the house band at a club called Hollywood a go go. The Doors were also at one point the house band there. When I was in high school me and some friends on Friday Saturday nights would sneak in and watch them amount others. I have Van Halen's autograph in 1977.the last time I saw Van Halan with David Lee Roth was the US Festival in Devor CA in 1983. that was a great concert 3 days long. Love your take on this Great band. Important members leaving would have been the end to most bands but it just makes Van Halan stronger...they are the are the Energizer Bunny of rock groups lol

I prefer these linear, 4 track guitar solos. As opposed to the later "piece meal" solos Eddie did, with the help of the 16 and 32 multi track recording. They were more "song" oriented. Rather than "burn and learn." Although, his solo on "Hot For Teacher" is maybe his best. So...what can I say? 😊
