    Everyone remembers the first time they heard Van Halen...I remember it well, it was June 1978, I walked into an ice arena for summer hockey camp and I'm standing in line to give them my name and get my practice jersey and I hear this noise and it’s the opening riff to Atomic Punk and then see some older guy that worked at the arena air guitaring and I’m like what is this, who is this, why does this sound so heavy and awesome?? The rest of the week, the guys that worked at the ice arena played the VH album over and over, all the songs…for the next 6 days 6 hours a day I hear the VH album played every time they cleaned the ice and other times…and it was glorious!!

      Oh man I have to say I was just watching this video with Rob Halford of what he had to say about Eddie and when they first came out. .. the interviewer asked him what song reminds him of and I got to thinking from the song that I liked and again there's so many to choose from but I got to thinking from back in the day when their first album came out I have always liked and still till this day I just ...forever, love it and I really .. tears are welling up .. I'm so into the song Atomic Punk, I just dig it , his leads, the song.. the lyrics .. it just takes me away, especially and still , till this day and when I read your post , aw man .. the irony .. love it man .. Eddie gone way too soon.. I'm heartbroken.. no one could ever play or have the ideas like he would.. Saw Van Halen in 79 or 80 at Los angeles Coliseum, then in 83 at the Us festival.. it wasn't enough, .. RIP Mr. Edward Van Halen .. love you Eddie Van Halen... you are missed by the Rocknroll world over and every guitarist who admired and only wished to play like you .. and again that's the world over.. . love you EVH ...

As a guitar player, of course I've been very inspired & influenced by Eddie. I've found myself actually crying numerous times over this last week when playing one of their tunes, watching TH-cams on them, etc. -- such a passing of a *major* era of music! Rock On Eddie!

    As a drummer, the first band I heard as a kid, that made a major impression on me was Van Halen, listening to Alex was a revelation, I'd never heard anything like it. I also distinctly remember loving Eddie's guitar playing, and Mike's high voice! I couldn't get my head round the complexity of Eddie's guitar playing, not just his lead, but also his rhythm, tasteful phrasing and melodic that was paradoxically heavy and progressive, without sounding like heavy metal or prog rock. A unique band that was the soundtrack to my childhood and beyond. RIP EvH.

It was right after the first album and I was riding my skateboard down the street and the neighbor kid put his speakers to the screen window and cranked up Eruption! I just remember coming to a standstill and every other kid on the street didn’t move and just listened and couldn’t believe what we are hearing! Had never heard anything like this in our life. I was hooked!

    First Van Halen song that grabbed my attention was when I heard Panama on the radio in 8th grade and immediately was obsessed and had to learn how to play it. Then my uncle burned me a cd from Limewire downloads. He showed me Atomic Punk, On Fire, Light up the Sky, and a bunch of others. I was obsessed and had to learn them on guitar. This was slightly off the path I had been on - listening primarily to Rush and Joe Satriani.

Whole band Dave on vocals Alex on drums Michael on bass! Hundreds of people were good times! Years later 1978 LA radio stations only two rock radio stations then KLOS 95.5 FM KMET 94.7 FM First announced a band new from Pasadena, California named Van Halen! The same first heard Eruption/.You really got me was blown away by these new playing styles and sounds out of my stereo speakers! I was blown away as a guitarist then and the buzz among my friends! I bought the vinyl album paid $5.99 USD still have that today along with all my albums until CD`s appeared! I have seen Van Halen as well Judas Priest so many times in concert for years in the USA! My guitar daily as still today 42 years later Eddie is my inspiration! Yes indeed crank the album or CDs, Sirius XM radio daily especially now for healing! Thank You Eddie! EVH RIP!

    Van Halen and Judas Priest are two of my all time favourite bands, if not my favourite bands together with Iron Maiden.
    This is therefore so inspiring to hear that Judas Priest and Van Halen enjoyed a good friendship and that they played together during the prime years of hard rock and heavy metal including the US Festival. And I have heard that Eddie admired the two guitar dynamics between Tipton and Downing and that Glenn and Eddie were very good friends and would spend hours talking guitar with each other.

    When I did the 10 albums that changed my life thing on FB a few months ago my 3rd album was Van Halen 2. That ranking was only number 3 because I didn't hear it first lol. When I was in 7th grade I heard a radio spot that some band named Van Halen was coming to The Rainbow Music Hall here in Denver. Just from that commercial I was blown away. I remember the DJ saying the day after the show he was surprised the music hall was still standing. My sister got me the 'Van Halen II' record for my birthday(TY) and I played it over and over. I started bugging my mom for a 'Gitar' and she bought me one from a garage sale in the summer of 1980. I spent so many hours sitting next to my record player trying in vain to learn Eddie's stuff lol. The guy literally changed my life. 40 years later I still have a basement full of music crap and I still LOVE those first 4 V.H. albums. I feel like I lost my brother. There will never be another Eddie. R.I.P. brother.

    Van Halen is the one and only band I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard their first album. No other band comes to mind with any sort of memory where I first heard them. So many people have that same recollection of remembering the circumstances of their first listen to VH. I think that's purely testimony to their originality and musical prowess.

  • @HughRogers609
    @HughRogers609 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lovely guy Rob. There are very few albums (that I adore) that I remember exactly where I was when first hearing them, but VH1 was a standout. I took such experiences for granted as a kid, but you only get to do/hear/see some things for the first time - once in your life. It's later you realise how much they infiltrated it and how cool that first time was. You can't get those back.

    I always found it interesting that Roth thought he had the most to say about what the band should do next. Wake up, Dave. Eddie was the man.

      I really never liked Roth or his antics. He’s always had a huge ego and he always thought he was the big hincho and the talent in VAN HALEN. Sammy proved him wrong, and obviously we know who was the real talent in the band.

If you don't like our musicians from our years then why are you here being disrespectful during a tribute To great a Guitarist who has just died this week. He was a nice guy a great husband and and dad and a super talented musician. Get off the comments section here and go batch at some sjw videos, shame!

    I was 16, been playing guitar for 2 years and knew some Aerosmith, Nugent, Sabbath, ZZ etc. All sliding chords, pent scales and LOTS of gain to hide behind. Thanks Big Muff !! Thought I was hot shit and just like Halford a excited friend sat me down and blasted VH1. After hearing the album I quit guitar for a few weeks!! VH1 was a instant reality check.
