Results for Van HalenEven Van Halen's most dedicated fans admit that the band's progression from pow to plod with a recent plateau at pedestrian has been disappointing. Exploding from the starting gate with <i>Van Halen</i> in 1978, the original group of classically-trained Eddie and Alex, plus David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony produced a truly monster rock/metal/party album that had fans and critics smelling Led Zeppelin. <i>Van Halen II</i> followed the next year, falling a bit short due to the 'lightning doesn't strike twice' factor, and other solid releases continued almost annually until the watershed <i>1984</i>. <i>1984</i> was a breakthrough in the band's sound, featuring really good melodies with a pop flair, and VH1 video releases complemented market outreach. Roth left the band by mutual consent around this time, and his replacement, Sammy Hagar, helped deliver two more hit albums including <i>OU812</i>. In a case of "can't live with him, can't live without him" Part II, however, Eddie and Hagar had a falling out. Roth returned, Roth left, new albums came and went and <i>Van Halen III</i> was released in '98 to a tepid response that makes 'o.k.' sound good. Hope springs eternal, however, and Van Halen has most recently staged a North American tour with David Lee Roth in tow. The future, apparently, holds endless possibilities....more

It seems like a bunch of friends on the same label (SST) just wanted to get together and drink some beers and record whatever transpired.

I remember the year, the place, the song. I remember it because it was that singular, insulated moment that sent me willingly, insatiably, down the path towards being a rock ‘n’ roll fan for life, constantly on the hunt for more amazing moments that recaptured the very first time rock punched me

When I set out to take on the matter of cover songs, I thought I'd be seeking uncomplicated answers to simple questions like: Is there such a thing as a definitive version of a song? Who decides these things? And why do we care?
