Van Halen: A Mammoth Legacy | Full Documentary | @thisistastepop | @EntertainMeProductions

1984 was the 6th studio album ya big goof!!!!

Well Done!!!

Awesome story 👏😎

Love =VH= I talk about them all the time.

The day Ed dropped his body. My daughter called me to let me know. I had VH 3 and only listened to it a few times. I put it on, played it non stop for a week. I think they should have kept going with Gary. He wrote great lyrics, Ed plays fantastic guitar on it. The songs are mature and great mix of piano & acoustic Now it’s my favorite Van Halen Lp. Garey said there’s another collection of songs in the can. I hope they release a cd of VH 3 and the rest of what they recorded

The critics actually turned their noses up at Van Halen when they released their debut album

Never even heard of nor heard VH with Gary Sherone. Then again I never cared much for Van Hagar, i quit listening to them after Roth left

BTW: It was Michael Anthony who used to Chug the (Ice Tea) in a Jack Daniels bottle On Stage!!

12:00- The VH split was t becasue Eddie wanted to be a guitar virtuoso and David Lee Roth wanted to be a pop star. It was quite the opposite. Eddie VanHalen wanted to start using more keyboards, and David Lee Roth wanted to make rock music.

Gr8 Doco Guys....Can never understate how important Gene Simmons was in taking The Band under his wing and paying for their Fantastic Demo, as well as believing in them as the next big thing in the U.S. He was right of course and ultimately, that terrific Demo got them picked-up by Warner Brothers shortly after KISS Management and Casablanca Records rejected them...The rest is history, eh Guys....Cheers fm Damo😄

This won't be up here in this form for long seeing as they have used actual VH music and the Live Eruption solo. But even though it has that it's VERY Parochial. If you've been a long time fan or even watched any other VH docs this one will let you down. But there's a few nice shots and pictures. They go straight from The first album to "and then came Jump their biggest hit yet" so it's kind of lame really. Both the strength and the weakness of this one is that they have an excellent eye witness. But that's one of the problem. Only ONE and so all you get is the opinion of that one witness and not the multiple views of many. Plus they really don't look into a lot of what the guys said themselves in some cases.

This would be a good video for anybody who just crawled out from underneath the rock

Er. Michael Schenker was around long before EVH?,…….lots have copied Eddie since he came on the scene I agree.

They where born in Nijmegen

Van Halen was a murderer's row of talent. What caused them so much turmoil was that each one was a larger-than-life personality and had trouble sharing the spotlight.

So if that story is true about the moment eddie and alex decided to switch instruments alex saying he came home to see eddie still sitting on his bed and having learned all of claptons crossroads in order lick for lick . If that's true then at that moment when it became obvious to alex that means up till that moment alex was playing guitar and as this story suggests alex must have been pretty damn good on it or the decision to switch would have happened the moment eddie was better than alex on guitar . so lets see alex play something that would be good enough for this story to be true. Its bullshit story they made up . Just saying.

If Eddie stayed with drums, I'm sure he would have squeezed a unique sound out of them. Franken drums-

gary never lead that band for a second

I never liked the addition of keyboard. That is why 1984 is love and hate with me. You got amazing tracks like Panama and Hot for Teacher which just crushes...but then Jump was just annoying to me.

that tatoo song is so bad, geee
