Van Halen, 1978
It’s a day late; HMT ain’t apologizing but we know a good excuse when we hear one; cue the classic;
“It wasn’t my fault. I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. My tux didn’t come in from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car...,”
Everybody has their two cents but the truth is right here: Van Halen, 1978 is THE Greatest American Rock & Roll debut album of all-time.
There are two periods of Rock Music. Pre and Post @vanhalen. Edward Van Halen & David Lee Roth are pound for pound the most powerful two punch combination ever landed in the history of Hard Rock music.
Edward Van Halen remains the most innovative, groundbreaking King of ten fingers & six strings. David Lee Roth is 32 cylinders of Swagger; equal parts Errol Flynn, Elvis Presley & Evel Knievel.
The 1980s would’ve been a misty eyed big bush do-over of the 1970s without Van Halen. Your momma knows. She sent them a letter. Tryna make herself feel better.
Since I've got your attention, listen to the new sensation Van Halen firebomb London, 1978, opening for Black Sabbath.
