	Van Halen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Van Halen is an American rock band formed in the early-1970s and discovered by KISS bassist and co-founder Gene Simmons.
		Van Halen continued to enjoy tremendous popular success throughout the mid-90's, while many of their hair metal contemporaries (such as Warrant and Poison) fell from favor, overtaken by anti-establishment "Grunge Music".
		Van Halen pioneered the way for the modern "Rock and Roll Show" with their extensive use of the concert technical contract rider.

	VH1.com : Van Halen : Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Van Halen became a hit due to strong word of mouth, constant touring, and support from AOR radio.
		Eddie Van Halen had recently undergone well-publicized treatment for alcoholism, and Hagar was notorious for his party-hearty ways, even writing a paean to Amsterdam's hash bars with "Amsterdam" on Balance.
		After Van Halen III proved to be the worst-selling album of Van Halen's long and illustrious career (the ensuing world tour was poorly attended as well), Cherone was dismissed from V.H. in 1999.

	Van Halen
		Van Halen proved to be the ultimate coming-of-age soundtrack to many a teenager since its release, resulting in sales of over 10 million in the U.S. alone.
		Van Halen II 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.
		While Van Halen II was closely rooted both compositionally and sonically to their self-titled debut, Women and Children First signaled the band's first (successful) attempt to branch out.

	Rock On The Net: Van Halen
		Van Halen has spanned 3 decades with their form of rock and heavy metal music, always making news and selling millions - even with a changing roster of lead singers.
		The conception of Van Halen began in Holland with the conception of the Van Halen brothers (the brothers grew up in California), and in the mid-70s the brothers formed a band named Mammoth with Anthony and Roth.

		As the century turns, of course, he and Van Halen are in flux, having canned their third lead singer, Gary Cherone, after the disappointing showing of Van Halen III.
		Van Halen: Man, all I can do is make music and put it out, and if people like it, they like it, and if they don't, they will sooner or later.
		For Van Halen III, we were prepared to release a double album, but the powers that be said, "No." It's hard to say what [the additional songs] sound like 'cause they're so across the board.

		The new cuts will be surrounded by more than two decades of Van Halen favorites from almost all of the band's eras, including the early Eighties period with singer David Lee Roth ("Jump," "Panama") and Hagar's first tour of duty with the group ("Why Can't This Be Love," "When It's Love").
		Van Halen III, which featured singer Gary Cherone subbing for Hagar, is not represented on the two-disc set.
		Van Halen are planning one final dress rehearsal for the tour on June 1st at an undisclosed location in the Los Angeles area.

	Van Halen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When Van Halen unleashed their debut album on an unsuspecting world in 1978, they singlehandedly redefined hard rock, and set the stage for a long stream of followers emerging in their shadow, each with guitarists performing tricks that were unheard of prior to the introduction of one Eddie Van Halen.
		Van Halen II The follow up to Van Halen travels many of the same roads as the first album, although the material isn't quite as strong as it's predecessor.
		In it's defense, there's some interesting ideas and songs, but it's not what anyone expected from a Van Halen record, nor was it the convincing album the band needed to make to rebound from losing their beloved former frontman for a second time.

		The title of this review fits the Van Halen show at Nissan Pavilion perfectly, as the band is on its third singer Gary Cherone, who seemed to take a lot away from the original Van Halen music.
		One of the positives from this show is that the diehard Van Halen fans showed up in full force and were not going to be turned away by the performance of Cherone.
		The new tunes from the Van Halen III album such as "Fire in the Hole" were the best thing the band did all night.

		The band enjoyed great success with "Van Halen," "1984," and "Fair Warning," until Lee Roth left the band (according to Lee Roth himself, he was kicked out) and pursued a successful solo career.
		This version of Van Halen only had a chance to record a couple of new tracks for their "greatest hits" album, and Lee Roth left again (according to Lee Roth, blah, blah).
		But this is the heaviest Van Halen stuff I have heard, and it also features some of the most intelligent lyrics Van Halen ever came up with (I know that's a modest compliment, but the lyrics are still quite good).

	A mellow Van Halen soldiers on with a new singer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Van Halen's music, dominated by Eddie's guitar and Roth's rooster-crowing vocals, became the soundtrack for growing up in much of big-hair suburbia.
		Whether he quit or was kicked out depends on who you believe; it was the first episode of a very public, nasty soap opera involving Van Halen and both of its former lead singers.
		But Roth, Hagar, and Van Halen continued to bicker about who was in the band and who wasn't, and why.

		The new "Van Halen III" album will surprise many fans who view the group as "America's premier party band," to quote Eddie.
		The familiar guitar flash is still there, and so are rhythm pyrotechnics of drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist Michael Anthony.
		The two new "soul mates" will get a chance to prove it in front of an audience when Van Halen opens a tour in New Zealand in mid-April, followed by American dates in May. And don't expect to hear only new songs on the set list.

		The main problem with "Van Halen III" ISNT Cherone...its the modernized sound of Van Halen that is the main problem.
		Not to say that Van Halen III is terrible, it certaintly isn't any worse than the last two Van Halen albums with Hagar.
		So, Van Halen III is fair, probably about equal to Women and Children First, Fair Warning, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and Balance, if you liked any of those albums you'd probably like this one.

		The band then consisteted of Eddie Van Halen on lead guitar, his brother Alex Van Halen on drums, Michael Anthony on bass, and David Lee Roth with lead vocals.
		The lack of really interesting lyrics were more than made up by the musical work of the Van Halen brothers and the ranting of Roth.
		However, he did recently return to the spotlight after re-leasing two new songs with his former band on "Van Halen Best of, Volume I", and also starting his own band, the DLR Band.

		Grunge/alternative was in full swing and I expected Van Halen to deliver some good dumbed-down arena rock to take me away from all the plodding, whiny, self-important tripe being put out in that era.
		Instead, I got Van Halen's most intellectual album to date, with a lot of moody pieces that seemed to be trying to mimic the climate of the times.
		Van Halen proved they could do quasi-speed metal with "Get Up" from "5150", but this is just a sloppy mess.

		Firmly at the till of this effort is the hero Ed Van Halen himself ferociously trying to rid the shackels of teeny-bopper music for the serious teeny-bopper music afficianado that the Van Hagar machine so effeciently mined.
		The bad thing about this album are several of the ballads which maybe are the worst songs ever recorded by Van Halen (like the one with Eddie on the vocal duties).
		Gary Cherone does great in his debut performance (and, sadly, also his final performance) with the Might Van Halen and there are plenty of gems on this recording.

		You now have my full support in bashing the hell out of Van Halen, because Eddie and Alex are totally lost causes if they think Sammy is the way to revive their band...
		Thanks to my former spouse, I attended a Van Halen concert (on the Balance tour, no less) in 1995, but I finally caught a break when Van Halen III was released.
		Since Van Halen III is unlistenable, my spouse-at-the-time shunned that record, as did most of the population.

		Van Halen III is an interesting album to say the least.
		VH III opens with "Neworld", perhaps a fitting opener considering the fact this album is quite a bit of a step out from the usual VH rock.
		Stretching their legs I spose, which in itself is a good thing, but I really don't like this kind of thing on a Van Halen album.

		Roth returned to the fold for a brief, disastrous stint that year to record two new songs for a greatest hits album, but did not collaborate with the band further.
		As a band, Van Halen is surrounded by numerous other uncertainties, from guitarist Eddie Van Halen's battle with cancer to its lack of a record deal.

		On top of the normal guitar doodling of Eddie Van Halen, the normal plodding powerhouse pounding of drummer Alex Van Halen, and the normal chugging basslines of Michael Anthony, Cherone's weak delivery of his lyrics come to the forefront of the mix.
		I never thought I'd say this about Van Halen but this song reminds me of another band's song: Led Zeppelin's "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You." Listen to that song and then this one in a row.
		What I hope happens is that either the name of the next album is Van Halen IV (with the band's fourth lead vocalist) or that Eddie locks himself into a different studio than 5150 and plays his guts out.
