In 1978 Van Halen dropped their debut album and forever changed the world of rock music!
The album is widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums in rock music history, as it sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. alone, going Diamond, which makes it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
The debut contains some of the band's most iconic songs, including "Runnin' with the Devil", "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love", "Jamie's Cryin'", their cover of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me", and the most influential guitar solo of all time "Eruption"! Edward Van Halen exploded on the scene, by blowing the minds of rock fans everywhere, and influencing a whole new generation of guitarists, as he redefined rock guitar in a way only accomplished by Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, and Robert Johnson before.
Fronted by the charasmatic David Lee Roth and the hard hitting foundation of Alex Van Halen & Michael Anthony Van Halen is the metal album that took us out of 70's rock and into the high flying 80's. The band laid the foundation for the Hair Metal explosion of Los Angeles, and forever cursed the bands that followed for not measuring up to their class of creativity.
Celebrate the one of the greatest albums of all time guaranteed to satisfy!
