- And The Cradle Will Rock…
- Somebody Get Me A Doctor

- Black and Blue
- Beat It
- You Really Got Me
- Jump
- Runnin’ with The Devil
- Eruption
A high-five to teenage rebellion – and a repudiation of older generations who view youthful indiscretions with disdain – the laid-back boogie And the Cradle Will Rock … signalled that Van Halen was eager to embrace modernity. The song marked the first time Eddie Van Halen played keyboards on a track: he ran a Wurlitzer piano through an effects peda...
Van Halen’s heavy metal roots aren’t necessarily apparent all the time. However, on the band’s second album, it’s impossible to ignore the Led Zeppelin-meets-AC/DC echoes cascading through Somebody Get Me a Doctor, what with Roth’s throat-shredding screams and Eddie’s no-frills riffing.
After David Lee Roth and Van Halen parted ways in the mid-80s, the band replaced their larger-than-life frontman with an equally charismatic vocalist: established hard rock star Sammy Hagar, who was fresh off hits such as I Can’t Drive 55. Hagar wasn’t as freewheeling as Roth, but he possessed a similarly expansive vocal range, and added emotional ...
The interplay between Van Halen and Roth created many highlights on early records. Unchained is one of their more entertaining interactions: peak Roth lounge-singer razzle-dazzle collides with Eddie’s spiralling riff cyclones, an evocative (if brief) needling solo and a chance for the guitarist to add atmospheric melodic layers as the vocalist goes...
On Hagar’s second album as Van Halen’s vocalist, the band became more comfortable with sonic vulnerability. That openness resulted in the twangy detour Finish What Ya Started, and the swampy Black and Blue, a fine example of sophisticated, bluesy hard rock.
Stories abound about Eddie Van Halen cutting the solo for Michael Jackson’s blockbuster hit Beat It. (Among the best ones: recording engineer Bruce Sweden once told the BBC that the monitor speakers caught on fire as the guitarist was playing.) The guitarist’s solo indeed rises from the mix like a plume of smoke, although it’s anything but ephemera...
As others have observed, Van Halen had the uncanny ability to make cover songs sound like their own compositions. The band’s debut single, a loose-hipped take on the Kinks’ No 1 hit You Really Got Me, set the bar almost impossibly high. Eddie tosses off the song’s guitar licks like a poker dealer shuffling a deck of cards, which only bolsters the s...
Eddie Van Halen wasn’t content with just being an influential guitar player – he was also instrumental in bringing synthesisers to mainstream hard rock, as he composed the neon-hued keyboard parts driving the multiplatinum smash album 1984. While the LP has many highlights – the almost baroque touches on I’ll Wait are especially intriguing – it’s i...
Van Halen’s debut album opens with a song that first sounds like a spaceship coming in to land, and evolves into a seductive hard rock cautionary tale. Roth’s shrieks and howls are a perfect counterpoint to the more polished, stacked backing harmonies and Eddie Van Halen’s restrained dynamics. The guitarist’s smouldering riffs dip in and out of the...
The studio version of Eruption isn’t even two minutes long, but the instrumental became Van Halen’s signature tune – a showcase for Eddie Van Halen’s nimble finger-tapping technique, dexterity and distortion-drenched tone. During Van Halen concerts, the song stretched out and became a marathon: a communal yet almost intimate interaction between Edd...
