VAN HALEN (ABO #185)

VAN HALEN

ERUPTIONS

Haaaa! Van Halen! Some hate their "big rock", others just can't get enough of it... I stand right in the middle as a critical amateur of their work. Sure, Alex always drums the same way. Of course, Michael Anthony, though not a bad bass player, has always been the weaker link. No doubt David Lee Roth is more of an actor singing than a genuine singer... All this is true as it is true that Edward Van Halen never invented tapping and is, therefore, a bit overrated... Nevertheless, Van Halen remains one of the best rock acts to have ever surfaced out of the U.S.A.
For Eruptions, I've selected the best of both worlds (aka 1 disc with David Lee and the other with Hagar and Gary "temp" Cherone) of what I feel is the band's most tasty material. All the hits are here plus a little bit more that, I hope, will help spice up the lot a bit. All the songs from the David Lee era come from the remastered editions while the other tracks have been reworked with Audacity & MP3Gain so to fit the bill.
Now, get that bad boy and... Rock on!
