    Born in 1966. I grew up in the greatest era of rock and metal ever! I'm 57 now and remember all the greatest albums coming out from Zepplin, Sabbath, Halen, Ozzy, Dio, Priest, Maiden, AC/DC, Crue, GNR.... today's music is lame. That's why teens are turning back to my generation's music for rock and metal.

They'd already owned the rock world for a few yrs at that point but my younger ears were just then getting adjusted to the mastery and wizardry of Eddie, Alex, Michael and Dave as they simply slaughtered the competition with Van Halen, a kick ass debut.

    I will never forget the first time I heard Van Halen on the radio it was Jamie's Crying and it was like a new sound that no one had ever heard before, when the song was over the DJ said that's a new band out of LA and they will be coming to town on tour this summer. I picked up the phone and called my friend and said did you just hear that? And he was like yeah I sure did and we were like we are so going to that concert, and we did...it was badass! I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up with the 50's through the 80's music YOU were blessed!" Rock on!

Its hard to Believe your not with us anymore. David you were so good, when I think of Van Helen its your voice to me is Van Halen. Grow your hair back get back to where you once was. Eddie's son is the close's to Eddie we can get. Do Eddie justis and keep his spirit alive. Love you Eddie!

Magician? there will never be another, you can thank our wonderful god above that we have these recordings, I can't imagine a world without him in it, I still can't believe he's gone, Eddie is the reason I picked up a six string, although I've progressed a lot since the early 90s, I would never claim to hold a candle to my inspiration, I can play a few things he did, but I'm still amazed at his playing to this day, I mean how the fuck? There are great guitarists out there right now that can't even attempt the stuff he pulled off.

This album has had such an enormous impact on my life,and it still does to this day. It made me want to pick up the guitar and practice. This album changed the face of the guitar,and the face of all music for that matter. I will forever miss Eddie Van Halen. He is my guitar idol ,and always will be. God Bless him.
