    Fantastic episode. The ENTIRE documentary is phenomenal! Loved it from start to finish. As for what you should do next. Honestly, I think it's pretty easy. Do the Van Hagar years while also doing the DLR years (Eat 'em and Smile anyone?) and once you knock those out, you then have the Reunion Tour with DLR story to tell. Anyone else with me on this?!

    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!

    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).

Your level of research combined with great story telling chops and amazing editing/effects...just...wow. The fact that you pulled this off without formal backing AND having to pivot and edit the final product to accommodate a dissenter (sigh) and still come up with this amazing historical time capsule is really something special. I will be rewatching this endlessly and spreading it to all my music loving buds. You are the best...keep on creating...its your calling.

      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.

    If only they had just taken a few years off from each other, did their own thing in the meantime/got cleaned up, they could have carried on later with renewed enthusiasm. Time off from each other was clearly what was needed, and neither faction were subsequently anywhere near what the original band did. Ah well..

    Considering that Van Halen is no more and Eddie has passed it's a great time to be a Van Halen fan! With the release of these awesome documentaries from Allan, the Donnington concert footage, the new box sets, Mammoth 2, the plethora of great Van Halen related books released in the last couple of years I would say that us Van Halen fans are pretty fortunate as of late.

    Great job Alan! Really enjoyed the whole series. Lots of footage I've never seen before, which was awesome. Sucks that Alex and VH wouldn't let you use the music, as that would have put it over the top, but you adapted well and made it the best it could be. Congrats!

    Thank you for making such an excellent series on Van Halen!! I was 12 in 1984 when I first remembered hearing Van Halen. I back cataloged from there, listening to the earlier stuff. I became a huge fan, started playing guitar, and started taking music more seriously. I've gone on to be a fan of many otherr bands and types of music, but it all STARTED from the album 1984. It has a very special place in my heart. Thank you again!!

    Thanks for the great work. I especially appreciated the ending and the props on how the original 4 could never be duplicated. I also would have loved to see a quick comment on the backstory of Me Wise Magic and Can't Get This Stuff No More. Those 2 songs proved how they should have never broken up and what might have been. I would love to know if Eddie was happy on how those songs turned out. They sure captured the classic Van Halen sound.

    • @jamesragsdale8202
      @jamesragsdale8202 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They brought it to a new level. The production was amazing. Edward was actually cool again and took risks and innovated on the music. Dave brought the spice. Michael and Alex were there. Those two songs were the last hoorah.
      ADKOT was a mistake.

    At minute 5:25 you ask if anyone gets the reference of the video clip. Is it depicting the backyard of the Roth mansion in Pasadena?
