Some love for Van Halen

[skinnypuppy]

any other van halenheads out there? I came across this bluegrass tribute to van halen online, and that sounds like a fucking awful idea, but im surprised to really be digging the clips ive heard, especially the ones featuring David Lee Roth since he sings on two of the tracks. anyone hear about it? It's called Strummin' with the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen


strumminwiththedevil.com is the albums site i think

 

[holyme]

[Krigloch the Furious]

I kinda like the old stuff

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I kinda like the old stuff

Yeah old stuff is cool.

 

[NegativeVolume]

I have no complaints about VH...Roth > Hagar though. And tomorrow, when I'm more awake, I'll definitely check out that bluegrass tribute to them, it sounds pretty interesting. I heard a bluegrass tribute to Metallica once and it was pretty fun to listen to.

 

[Carcassian]

Screw you guys, HAGAR>ROTH.

FACT.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

A good tune is still a good tune.

The Van Hallen i've heard with sammy hager has no balls at all. I need to check out a full older van halen fullength.

Van Hager sucks.

 

[CAIRATH]

I like old Van Halen. Never listened to anything beyond 1984 and probably never will.

 

[Papa Josh]

I enjoy all Van Halen, even the one with Gary Cherone.

But what the hell happened to them doing a reunion or tour? I could've swore Hagar was back with them and they were gonna tour, but I haven't heard shit in awhile.

Your in no position to say anything, and already bought tickets to Hawaii to go kill you.

Van Halen isn't bad, but I never really got into them.

Old VH is godly. Even 5150 had moments.

Never bothered listening to anything after that.

cmt.com's got the album in streaming media online right now in the section "hear music now" if anyone cares. the cd sounds great too

I wouldn't say that it was godly, but then again I rarely listen to any VH.

Fair enough.

Not the most "metal" band, obviously, but I think almost everyone would agree (concede?) that Eddie Van Halen was a tremendous influence on the genre....


That said, let's hear some disagreement....

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Well he surely brought real intergy and the desire for speed over slow moving licks, but I think there are many other guitar players who introduced this earlier than VH.
