I am an admitted Van Hagar fan and I like the Gary Cherone album too. :eek:

Playing the DLR era right now, am only familiar with the hits of his time, and I must say they are rockin'. Those three, EVH, Alex and Michael Anthony, are a tight unit.

Which ones are your favorite? Let the flamefest begin!!!

Never been a huge fan but the ragged edges of the first few albums are what make them great. They just sound so raw and raucous!

This, as well as 1984 (despite it's semi-overplayed status). Different Kind of Truth is pretty damn good imo (other than Tattoo).

There are certain songs from every single VH album that I love. Get them all :lol:

Women and Children First and Fair Warning. Both are amazing start to finish. :love:

So you have been saying Van Hagar > Van Halen all this time without hearing all of the original VH lineup's albums?

WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!

Oh, and get DLR's first two solo albums. Eat 'Em And Smile and Skyscraper >>>>> Van Hagar

Fair Warning and 1984 are probably my favorites from that era.

My main plexi could do a pretty decent "Fair Waning" sound when I still had all the gain mods & EL 34's in it.

Fair warning & Women & Children First. Cool stuff. I'm jealous - would love to be able to experience something so great as listening to an old Van Halen album for the first time.

Is it wrong that I enjoyed the DLR albums more than The Rolling Stones? :eek:

Definitely not. The Rolling Stones have their place in music history but not in my CD player.

This... +10... Respect the Keif, but Mick just makes me wanna :shoot:

Enjoy the VH, dude. Put yourself back in the late 70's / early 80's, when this stuff was totally new to the world. Eddie brought a whole new vibe to the guitar scene that truly took the music world by the balls.

Fair Warning and 1984 are my faves, but VHI and II are just classic. Van Halen is one of those bands where I can't really choose just one album.
