My favorite Klosterman article was his breakdown of the 1979 performance of “In The Evening” by Led Zeppelin at Knebworth. He goes through all the different stage costumes Jimmy Page wore over the years and says his 1979 business casual look “nicely highlights his distain for eating certain things (such as food).” And goes on about the inexplicable rotary phone John Paul Jones kept on his organ.

Mike Post and Eddie were friends. My guess is that Warner Bros wouldn't let Eddie produce the album himself, so he brought in Post to do it and Post's method of producing was to just let Eddie do whatever he wanted.

I do agree that the tour was a different beast altogether, and if nothing else the set lists from those shows were a much better representation of VH's overall catalog. I think Gary even said at one point that in hindsight he wished the band had toured first to both debut themselves via live performance and to also explore their musical partnership a little before trying to write.

OK, "He sounds like something you'd play if you wanted to scare raccoons out of your yard" is the funniest thing I've heard all week.

Pro tip for bands: don't have the new guy try to act like the old guy.

EVH's reconciliation with everyone else made wonder about Van Halen's future. If everyone's copacetic, they might be viable as a touring entity by combining surviving members: Wolfgang in the EVH role, Michael coming back, and the other two in the roles they last held. Given how Eddie made Wolfgang his protege, one might call it closer to the original album's lineup than anything since 1996. Sounds like heresy now, but it might seem all right by the time touring becomes possible again. Just omit "Eruption," though; that one's Eddie's.

That’s why I like Band-Maid so much. The lead guitarist clearly has some Eddie influences, but she writes most of the music and does all the arranging. But she knows exactly how to play to each members strengths. Not only that, she is able to push her bandmates’ limits. The drummer said she was asked how fast she could play the tempo to a new song. She gave an honest answer and the guitarist made the tempo of the song even faster than that, forcing the drummer to speed up beyond what she thought she was capable of and she did it. I’m not comparing Kanami Tono to Eddie Van Halen. She clearly is inspired by him and you can hear the influence, but she’s brilliant at crafting and arranging songs in a way Eddie couldn’t do. They kind of sound like what a modern Van Halen would sound like if Van Halen were girls.

I like to imagine that Eddie asked Gary to sing on that song, but Gary said that he didn't want to sing it, and he didn't want it to be on the album at all. In fact, I think that Eddie recorded it in secret in his home studio and put it on the album without any of his band members consent.

I remember being out shopping somewhere with my mom in 1998 or 99. She saw some guy wearing a Van Halen III t-shirt that had some slogan on the back, I forget what exactly, but it implied that VH3 was the best iteration of the band. My mom spotted it and she whispered to me that the guy, his t-shirt, and his taste in music were fucking lame.

I think the reason why Gary sounded like he did on the album is because the Van Halen brothers wanted him to sound like Sammy Hagar. His normal singing voice isn't like that, so he kinda had to force himself to sing like Hagar.

R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen Great video, still

After watching Todd's most recent Trainwreckords video on Mötley Crüe's Generation Swine, I noticed that one of the commenters wrote this: *The two massive ‘80’s hair metal bands who released career-ender albums around this time, both Van Halen and Mötley Crüe had similar problems, got similar results, yet the exact opposite problem in terms of the lead singer. Van Halen had a new lead singer who’d never performed with the band before (Gary Cherone), and Mötley Crüe got their original singer back after a long absence. And yet… *Both were hair metal bands trying to change their sound to fit with the modern times. Instead, they sounded like neither their original selves nor any other band of the time. And there are some times (like Without You and Find Myself) where the songs sound like two or three songs duct-taped together. *The vocal parts in the songs were clearly written for the previous singer (Sammy Hagar for Halen and John Corabi for Crüe), yet the new singer couldn’t adjust to that singing style and makes the project sound worse by comparison. *Any attempts at trend-chasing or changing certain things comes off as transparent or ridiculously corny. You have Crüe doing a Marilyn Manson knockoff song and video Tommy Lee singing a dedication song to his son that makes With Arms Wide Open sound dignified by comparison, and Halen making dentist puns and [INSERT]-Man lines in one song. *They had producers who clearly weren’t up to making this kind of album (one of the touring musicians for Crüe and a TV theme composer for Halen) *And both albums end on a cheesy piano ballad. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5mjsq-jlKmwmrQ.html&lc=UgxfTC0ByW3VmmFk_rZ4AaABAg

After the crap pile that was 'Balance' this isn't really awful, it just isn't what consider to be Van Halen. Full Disclosure: I remember my older brother coming home with the debut album by this new band called Van Halen. He said "listen to this" and put on 'Eruption'. HOLY SH!T. Then we sat and listened to the whole album. I can't believe that was 42 years ago. I was 13 or 14... VH 1 is still one of the most incredible displays of guitar virtuosity I've ever heard.

Not quite. I personally think that this album is highly underrated, and better than people give it credit for. Hard rock bands don't release singles, so I don't know where you were going with that.

The thing that's so endlessly fascinating about VH3 is that it basically destroyed EVH's confidence. Think about it -- this was his last original music project. "A Different Kind of Truth" was largely old demos that we re-worked. (and the original stuff was no great shakes) The criticism of this album just may have crippled him for the rest of his life.

Ed was not a songwriter. He wrote cool stuff on guitar. The lead singer’s job was to take the bits, arrange them into songs, and add lyrics. Roth and Hagar both confirm the method.

lol yes. i was thinking about the song "Bonin' in the Boneyard" by Fishbone (because I hardly ever see them mentioned) and they kinda took over my brain.

For some reason that last song sounds a little like "Nobody Home" by Pink Floyd, but without the good lyrics.

“How Many Say I” sounds like the world’s worst Roger Waters song.

12:08 They stood for what every rock band truly stands for: making lots of money.

13:00 "which raises the question, why didn't they just lower the songs?" A question asked by every Iron Maiden fan when they found out that the band refused to lower the songs for Blaze Bayley, despite his vocal range being way deeper than Bruce Dickinson, him having to near blow his voice out just to sing the old Maiden songs for every show, and the fact that the band had lowered some songs for Dickenson on live shows before.
