One of the greatest hard rock bands ever, Van Halen have sold more
than 50 million albums worldwide, crowning their amazing career
with this year's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote
the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie
Van Halen redefined what electric guitar could do, developing a
blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed
tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the
sounds of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over
the top, equalled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the
role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards with his
wild flair for showmanship. Together, they made Van Halen into the
most popular American rock & roll band of the late '70s and
early '80s, and in the process set the template for hard rock and
heavy metal for the '80s.
