    My favourite Van Halen song. I remember when the first album came out in 1978. Flipped out over it. Friday nights cruising with this on 8 track blaring out of the car as loud as possible without distorting the killer sound. Man I miss those times! 🤟🤟

It was the loudest concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot (62 yrs old) Diamond Dave danced around with his bare ass hanging out a pair of fringed chaps , shirtless, doing spinning kicks 8ft in the air. Eddie Slamming hard on the Kramer, Cig in his mouth, or the guitar string end on the neck. Mike and Alex keeping the beat down. It was glorious.

    This was their 1st album. Eddie Van Halen introduced himself by nuking the entire landscape of guitar playing. There is a fat and distinct line of before and after. He is one of the most influential guitar players of all time, so the emulation of his sound and technique was very wide spread. It's almost a half a century later and you can still hear it with the new generation of guitar players.
    The impact Eddie Van Halen on rock can't be understated. He was doing things no one had even considered. Due to his success, all rock bands of the time and after were influenced to one degree or another.

    Dave's vocal bridge between the choruses really speaks to me. He says he's been to the edge and stood and looked down, and lost a lot of friends there. I swear, that's me. A lot of my friends have been to the edge, and just couldn't stop and kept going right over it. I've managed to turn back every time I've been there, but let me tell you there's times I never knew how close I came to following my friends.

    October 19th, 1982. Spectrum Philadelphia, Pa. Eddie had broken his hand a few days before and VH had to cancel some shows in Jersey but thankfully the tour had resumed that night and me and my bud from school had tickets and caught the train to see the show, my first legit concert, I was barely 15 years old. First thing I saw was Eddie, Mike, and Alex on stage and they started playing the opening riff of Running With The Devil. I was so focused on Eddie's cast and how he was playing I forgot about Dave and then wondered "where the hell was Dave?" Next thing I know a spotlight shines on him standing on a platform or amp or something, looked like it was fifty feet tall for all I knew (obviously not) and he jumps and does a mid-air split, lands perfectly and rolls right in to the song without missing a beat. Crowd went nuts. About halfway through the show they're jammin' to Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, I'm standing against the railing on the second level and someone smacks my ass. I turn around and see this super cute chick smiling at me. Then she came in real close nuzzled up against my neck, bit my earlobe and made this "grrrrrrr" sound that sent a shockwave through me that I will never forget. Then she backed away, yelled "whooooooo" and danced out of my life. Great show, great memories.

    One of the best songs from one of the best debut albums ever. This album is fire start to finish. One thing from it you still need to hear is the original Eruption, it was a lead in to this track and the effect was devastating. Also from it, try the Atomic Punk, another killer song. If heard already, try Fire instead, an apt name for this revolutionary album. Eddie rules, he has a place in my guitar gods gallery. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

    When this came in 1978, I was in Jr. High and it not only blew us all away, but changed the high mark for lead guitar playing in a rock band.

    This eponymous first album of theirs became such a staple in the fabric of Our Lives for me starting in junior high. Every song on it is fire. But the whole album in a way was something that you heard all these songs on the radio constantly and if you went to the lake you know it would be getting played the whole album. And so of course almost all of us owned it. I finally got a chance to see them in the late seventies when they're second album came out and it was a fantastic show. I just can't say enough about how woven into the fabric of our life they were for a lot of us anyway.

    Got married to a country girl in Korea. When we came to the US, this was her first concert. We saw them in the Summit, where the Rockets used to play. We sat at the far end of the venue and when the bass started kicking it, my pants legs fluttered from the sound pressure waves.

    Back in October 1982, I saw the original VH lineup at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse (my hometown.) They were beyond amazing. What's more, they plugged into the dome's ginormous sound system. Imagine EVH's guitar and Diamond Dave's vocals being pumped through a wall of 40-foot tall speaker towers! My ears rang for a full day after the concert was over, but at 18 at the time, it was totally worth it! So glad you're enjoying one of my all-time fav bands! And rest in peace Eddie!

    This was an album that took the rock world by storm in the late '70s. You could hear these songs on the radio constantly for years and years and years. You know what I would suggest? Look up a playlist of their self-titled first album. And then compare those titles of the songs with things you see in the comments and then just start to pick songs. You won't be disappointed. You really will not be disappointed. Every song on this album is fire.
    I remember that my younger sister loved Janie's Crying off of this album. And I like every song on this album very deeply. But I would say, there is a very interesting and beautiful song, it's almost a ballad and it captures a slower emotional content than you hear from them very often, and yet it's still rocks. And while I did hear it on the radio a fair amount, it's not one that most people think of as their first song when they think of the album. But it's called Little Dreamer. It's absolutely beautiful.

    Every time I hear this song I get a feeling of nostalgia. I was a pro musician for 18 years and a vast majority of my bands covered this song. I have played on bass and on drums and I even sang lead a few times. I can cover DLR even now. Man... that yearning does not ever leave you.

    This was my sophomore year go to album! I had been hearing them play this content for a couple of years at backyard parties and was so happy for them to see it finally come out in an album. Eruption was truly epic and still about the best guitar solo ever but this song was my favorite on the album.
