I still maintain when Van Halen 1 came out in the era of disco, it was sure enough heavy metal.
    I'm old enough to remember that Van Halen was labelled as a metal band in 1978 and the tag stayed with them for years to come. I recall one article in the mid-80s describing them as 'pop metal'.

            They stagger the segments, but it's towards the end of the show.....

                I don't think a top performer is one who turns up 2 hours late and then walks off again in a pissy fit if someone in a big crowd throws an empty plastic cup in his general direction.

                I would call that a shite performer.

                    Actually, that would literally be GG Allin. Look him up at your own risk. No, I'm not kidding.

                                It was the gonzo drums, heavy bass lines, maniacal crunchy guitar, long hair, primal screams and beer drinking that put them in the metal category.

                                Can't really put VH in any specific category as the first 6 albums are truly their own sound & style that had never been replicated by anyone else.


                                Dave put it best though......

                                    How about Robert Plant and Jim Morrison?
