Eddie said in an interview that "Fair Warning" STIFFED - his words - when it was first released. But recently he says many musicians come up to him and say the record was a major influence.
I for one rushed out and bought it and it always was my fave VH record next to the first one.
Every song on it is great - even the instrumental.
And the VH tour of '81 which I caught a glimpse of at Maple Leaf Gardens was amazing. Van Halen was riding a major wave at that point and were mere moments away from massive popularity.
Those videos you mentioned are legendry. The opening with Unchained and Dave doin the jump is fuckin brilliant. Its a shame that the sisters don't care enough about the fans to actually do the restoration just because there isn't anywhere near as much Roth stuff as there should be.

apart from that the first 6 albums are easily the best american hard rock EVER recorded
Yup. Pretty much hit it on the head.
The only great debate some of us have is VH1 vs. FAIR WARNING vs. 1984. I go for 1984. I think it's the most creative. Some fans prefer the edge of FAIR WARNING. Some fans prefer the rawness of VH1. Those are the three most common "favorites" and there are fans that love two of those but detest the third one.
Me? I love every VH album. But the first is actually my least favorite of the six-pack. I think there were songs on the demos that were better, like BIG TROUBLES, SHE'S THE WOMAN, LET'S GET ROCKIN' or PUT OUT THE LIGHTS.
