To one of the greatest Hard Rock Bands of all time
(just my opinion - and I'm right : )
Brings back fond memories from when I first
Ventured out on my own into life as a young adult
And the music of Van Halen was my Soundtrack
The Van Halen I MOST LOVED
Was from 1974 - 1985
from left to right: David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony
Eddie Van Halen
One of the great guitarists of all time
David Lee Roth
One of the great Sexually Raw Showmen
Alex Van Halen
Great Drummer Putting down the beats
Michael Anthony
Great Bassist Laying down the bass
They had a special combination of talents
They were different from all the rest
Virtuosity, Musical Artistry, Energy and the Experience
Really set them a part
One of the things I admired about them
Was that on every album
(And YES - I have them all)
They'd have one song that was so different from what you would expect from a Hard Rock band
Here's one of my favorites of those "different" songs
It is from their first album
In it you can hear the influence of Blues on Rock n Roll Just sit back and listen to Eddie Van Halen's virtuosity Truly one of the great musicians of our time I also Love the sexual connotations of this song
And David Lee Roth was so perfect at performing it
He could make any song so deliciously sexy
: )
Van Halen
"Ice Cream Man"
Note the amazing Eddie Van Halen on lead guitar at the 1:45 minute mark
Try "air guitaring" that!!!
Careful - you might break something
And again
Listen to how Eddie's guitar Sings
Back and Forth with David Lee at the 2:38 minute mark I wish y'all could see me air guitar the music of Van Halen : ) This is absolutely PHUCKING PHANTASTIC!!!!
(I use explicit language when I get super excited
It's the kid in me - I can't help it! - it's fucking great!)
