Back in early 1978 as Disco was popular in mainstream music melting the brains of rock 'n' rollers everywhere, along came Eddie Van Halen. When rock fans first heard this 1:42 amp blasting, face melting solo, rock guitar would never be the same again.
Turn this up if you love rock guitar!

As we entered 1984, Van Halen was ending an era with David Lee Roth and Eddie went on T.V. and showed David Letterman how rock guitar is played.

In 1985, Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen bringing years of experience resulting in Van Halen having their first number one album with 5150, released in '86. Every album with Sammy went to number one until his departure in 1996. He brought a new fan base and Van Halen became more popular than ever.
My favorite VH video - Released in 1991 on VH's For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge CD.

After a not so popular try with frontman Gary Cherone, VH took some time off until a reunion in 2004 with Sammy Hagar and 2007-2008 with Roth at the helm.

I know, I know, I'm a Van Halen music junkie. Everybody has their things in life they love. Music is food for the soul. It gives me positive energy.
What are some things in life you love having on daily basis?
