    I Love Van Halen

    Van Halen

    Van Halen II

    Women and Children First

    Fair Warning

    Diver Down

    1984


    ..............

    Six of the best albums ever fucking recorded by ANYONE in ANY genre of music, and I think that's worth reminding ourselves about on a regular basis.

    It has been some time since I popped in the six pack and gave 'em a spin...but I am SO glad I did last night.

    Nothing gets me movin' more than Dave, Eddie, Mike and Al...3 of them are cunts now, but even that's OK when you have six albums like these.

    VAN HALEN FUCKING ROCKS, 20+ years after the fact or not.

    God bless ya, DIAMOND DAYS, those days were BAAAAD ASSSSS....

    you are right, since i joined this site in november I have listened to more Van Halen then I did in the last two or three years combined. All that great music brings back a lot of great memories of summers long gone! Wish the bootlegs on this site worked - all I can get is FLAC files from the other site - FLAC SUX! But what are ya gonna do? Any chance the boot section at the Roth Army will be up and running again?

      Patience is a virtue...

      You know, I was all of about, oh, 7-10 years old during the Van Halen Era, but listening to "That Band I Heard On The Radio Back Then" today just takes me back to a much more innocent and carefree time...ahh, the glory of youth.

        yep - I was 12 or 13 when I started listening.....first girl friend, first beer, first piece of ass....the six pack is defiantly a soundtrack for the happiest days of my life! I was a freshman in high school when I scored 5th row center seats to the 1984 tour! Man what a show - to an extent it set the standard for every other concert I saw after that.

              Same here...only I was a senior when I saw them in '84. Good times! Think I was 4th or 5th row too! :D

                Yeah, these were THE days... Paper has slowly been turning yellow, vinyl records have worn out a little; but the recordings still blow my mind EACH time I play them. I've never got used to CVH: what else can it be, if it's not magic, that makes the 6-pack still as unbelievable past the 2,000th listening?

                  And that's it, exactly.

                  Pure, unadulterated magic.

                  And the redheads THINK their Van Halen 2.0 comes ANYWHERE close?

                  Never in life, friends. Never in life.

                      Well it does come close... to Europe (remember that cheesy effeminate band who used plonk-plonk synths back in the 80s?). :D

                        Spent a summer at my friends grandmas house in Georgia ... bored ... walked up to the local shopping center where I found a new release! Four heavy metal looking dudes on a black album cover with this cool symbol on it! Bought it and plugged that cassette into my new boombox! Wore that cassette out taking turns racing the motorcycle in the field! Turned a boring summer visit around! I think we ended up getting run off the playground for messin' with the locals squeezes! DAVE has begun his work of educatin' Douglas T on the finer things in life!
                        Many "seasons" later ... back in Orlando at this clearing where everyone gathered to enjoy offroad activities! Never so clear is a memory than all the cars parked for miles in this field and INTRUDER blasting thru EVERYONES car stereos! AWESOME TIMES!
                        Another time I remember was when FAIR WARNING was released and the radio station was playing the entire album uninterupted! Sat in the worktruck for the duration as my boss/father wondered if I was ever going to get to work! Cost me an hours pay but well worth every penny of it! !! !!!DT
