	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Van Halen III
		Van Halen III is the eleventh studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music).
		Before Van Halen, most distorted, metal-oriented rock consciously avoided the use of the major third The musical interval of a Major third is the relationship between the first note (the root or tonic) and the third note in a major scale.
		Van Halen developed a technique of flatting his B string slightly so that the interval between the open G and B is a perfect, beatless third.

		Van Halen released a live album in 1993 that included several covers and a couple of older songs, but primarily focused on Hagar's years with the band.

		By 1996, Van Halen had parted ways with Hagar, leading to an onslaught of rumors that a Roth/Van Halen reunion was in the works.

		Van Halen has this cult/religious following thing going on, wherein music journalists (who are usually clueless) and genuine fans and musicians (who should know better) respect this band musically.
		Listen to "Van Halen" on headphones -- the guitar is all in the right channel, the bass all in the left, and the vocals are way too high in the mix.
		Later VH releases massacred by Templeman feature Alex Van Halen's mindless snare drumming being way too high in the mix, and Michael Anthony's backing vocals (which were chorused on the debut so as to avoid this) sounding whiny.

		Ja, ja nichts kann den Debüt "Van Halen" in Punkto Stärke, Dynamik und Energie das Wasser reichen kann, trotzdem finde ich das diese Scheibe von Van Halen vom Songwriting her etwas besser ist.
		Van Halen II, das 1979 entstandene zweite Studio-Album der Band wartet mit rohem ungeschliffenen Hardrock auf.
		Mit Van Halen II etabliert Van Halen somit soliden Hardrock garniert mit herausragend virtuoser Gitarrenarbeit, wobei sämtliche Protagonisten ihr Instrument technisch beherrschen, dabei aber nicht bemüht klingen oder gar versucht sind ihre Technik-Übungen musikalisch zu vertonen, daher nur zu empfehlen.

		At least half of the songs on Van Halen's eponymous 1978 debut are still considered classics, and the Eddie Van Halen instrumental "Eruption" revolutionized the guitar community by introducing a technique called finger-tapping into the heavy metal lexicon.
		The strength of the Van Halen brothers' musicianship could have made VAN HALEN 1 an essential record, but Michael Anthony's pounding eighth-note anchoring and David Lee Roth's Roger Daltry meets Wayne Newton wailing assured the group a spot in the annals of rock superiority.
		I was born in 1972 and didn't come to know Van Halen until their album 1984 hit and I was starting to get into the Hard Rock scene.

	Van Halen : Van Halen II - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Rather than take an extended break after spending nearly a year on the road promoting their exceptional 1978 debut, Van Halen went directly back into the studio to record another album.
		1979's Van Halen II was just as intense as its predecessor, but wasn't as potent compositionally -- which is forgivable since it was nearly impossible to top Van Halen.
		A very brief album (barely over 30 minutes in length), Van Halen II spawned the group's first true hit single, the aptly titled Top 20 hit "Dance the Night Away," while featuring another strong set of turbo-charged rock.

		As much as the Van Halen fans would like some more of the better yet more obscure songs on this album, it is an album designed for the mainstream.
		Sorry to be logical, but I don't see the point of calling an album 'Best of Van Halen' and leaving their best songs off, while including pieces of shit like You really got me and Dancing in the street.
		It's funny, Van Halen have never released a Hits CD that everybody's been happy about, and this is their third one.
