Van Halen Sucks

[@fpsknifer9906]

I love all these comments mentioning how you guys have spoken favorably of VH in the past. Congrats dummies, you've just figured out the format of this pod. They do actually like most of these bands. The people cracking jokes at a celebrity roast actually like the person they're roasting, too. That's what makes it funny and insightful, rather than mean and petty.

[@fredriksvard2603]

I think they like a lot of them, but genuinely hate rhcp, weezer, maybe queen and foo fighters too. And megadeth of course.

Not only did Eddie want to join Kiss, but when he decided he'd rather start his own band with his brother, Gene Simmions still wanted to produce them. And he insisted the band should change their name to Daddy Long Legs. And then spent actual money on the promotional artwork. Which was just Gene's own shitty drawing of a spider wearing a tophat.

[@baptizednblood6813]

They frequently contradict themselves lol. Like in the slayer episode they say if your gonna listen to thrash you should listen to Metallica and in the Metallica episode they say you should listen to Slayer. I feel like the show is part satire, partly they’re genuine feelings and thoughts and a good amount of trash talking all the terrible and cringe things certain bands and artists do. They mean and don’t mean what they say. Like they may recognize that Led Zepplin rocked but that they also point out how they lifted a bunch of blues music but perhaps inwardly acknowledging they lifted it well. Also dated 14 year olds. Also I know I’ve heard them making positive remarks toward David Bowie but they had a great episode on him none the less

When someone says he plays like Hendrix what we mean by that is he plays rhythm guitar with a lot of double stops and melody lines on the top strings. His rhythm guitar is so much more influential than his lead playing. People often underestimate the power of good rhythm guitar.

The tuning fuckup (iirc) was supposedly because the backing tracks were played at the wrong sample rate (44.1k vs. 48k are common), essentially the wrong speed.

These guys do not impress me at all. Of course Van Halen was more popular after Jump and with Hagar, and of course Metallica was more popular after the Black Album; that's because they had watered down and commercialized their sound to broaden their appeal; it isn't an indication that they got better. Yeah, if you water down your sound to the point that soccer moms and middle aged corporate executives and little girls and grandmas can get into it you're gonna get played more broadly and sell a lot more albums. That's why it's called selling out (and I'm aware that these bands were never not trying to make big bucks but when you change your sound just to sell more records it's a different matter altogether).

Their lead guitar rant is kinda pointless because Eddie Van Halen was both a rhythm and a lead guitarist.

Also, the fact that many people can play Eruption note for note doesn't mean it isn't a great solo. Lots of people can play Hendrix note for note as well. The hard part (or more accurately the part that required unique talent and innovation since it's not hard for the innovator) is creating that stuff in the first place.

I'm all for trash talking Van Halen but these guys are clueless about the nature of the rock industry at the time of Van Halen's first few albums. Van Halen was marketed on AOR; Album Oriented Radio. They weren't propelled by hit singles; they blew up because people loved the album. The first album was a success because people loved the album and the AOR FM rock stations were playing Runnin With The Devil and Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love etc; that's what sold the album so those really weren't flops. Back then a single was considered a hit or a flop based entirely on how many 45 rpm records of it were sold (little vinyl records with one song on each side). But rock fans didn't buy 45s; they bought albums. They also don't understand that the fact that Sabbath was a joke in 1978 is part of why VH exploded. Sabbath was burnt out, Zeppelin was running on fumes, the famous classic rock bands were flirting with disco; about the only heavy rock band around was Kiss, and Kiss was essentially a metal band for little kids. In that context Van Halen's debut was like manna from heaven.
