Bio:
Van Halen is an American rock band formed in Pasadena, California, in 1972. From 1974 until 1985, the band comprised guitarist Eddie Van Halen, vocalist David Lee Roth, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony.The band went on to become major stars, and by the early 1980s they were one of the most successful rock acts of the time. 1984 was their most successful album. The lead single, "Jump", became an international hit and their only single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The following singles, "Panama" and "I'll Wait", both hit number 13 on the US charts. The album went on to sell over 12 million copies in the US alone. In 1985, the band replaced lead singer David Lee Roth with ex-Montrose lead vocalist Sammy Hagar. With Hagar, the group would release four US number-one albums over the course of 11 years. Hagar left the band in 1996 shortly before the release of the band's first greatest hits collection, Best Of – Volume I. Former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone was quickly recruited as lead singer to replace Hagar, and Van Halen III was released in 1998. Cherone left the band in frustration in 1999 after the tour due to the poor commercial performance of the album.Van Halen went on hiatus until 2003 when they reunited with Hagar for a worldwide tour. The reunited band released a second greatest hits collection the following year, The Best of Both Worlds. Like Volume I before it, The Best of Both Worlds included material from both the Roth and Hagar eras but omitted any Cherone era tracks. The album featured three brand new tracks recorded by the reunited band, two of which were released as singles. Hagar again left Van Halen in 2005 and in 2006, Roth returned as lead vocalist for their highest-grossing tour, and one of the highest-grossing tours of that year. Anthony was not invited to participate in the tour and was essentially fired from the band, replaced by Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son. In 2012, the band released the commercially and critically successful, A Different Kind of Truth, with Roth as lead vocalist. According to the RIAA, Van Halen is the 19th-best-selling band/artist in United States history, selling 56 million albums in the U.S.They were also revealed at number 4 on the Billboard's top money makers list in 2013.Van Halen is one of only five rock bands that have had two studio albums sell more than 10 million copies in the U.S.Additionally, Van Halen charted the most number-one hits in the history of Billboard 's Mainstream Rock chart and they are one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 80 million records.Van Halen achieved worldwide fame for their many popular songs and larger-than-life stage performances; unfortunately, they also became known for the drama surrounding the departures of former members. Controversy surrounded the band following the exits of Roth, Hagar, and Anthony; this controversy often included numerous conflicting press statements between the former members and the band. In 2007, Van Halen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.VH1 ranked them 7th on their list of the top 100 hard rock artists of all time.
Album:
At the top of their game in the early 1980s, Van Halen and their classic line up of David Lee Roth on vocals, guitarist Eddie Van Halen,brother Alex on drums and bassist Michael Anthony, had cemented their reputation with a string of hit records and tours with the likes ofThe Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath. By 1982 they were among the best live acts on the circuit and their album of that year, DiverDown, was their biggest success yet, spending 65 weeks on the US albums chart and selling over four million copies. It also spawned fivecharting singles, including ‘(Oh) Pretty Woman’, ‘Dancing In The Street’ and ‘Where Have All The Good Times Gone!’ which hit No. 1, 3and 17 on the US Mainstream Rock chart respectively. To capitalise on all this, the band embarked on the mammoth “Hide Your Sheep” tour, playing 97 shows between June 1982 and May1983 across North and South America. Despite its curious name, the tour remains Halen’s live pinnacle during which, on 11th October,they appeared at the 19,000 capacity Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. Recorded for live FM radio broadcast in exceptional audioquality, Van Halen are featured doing precisely what they do best: delivering their electric, mesmerising show to an ecstatic audience.With such favourites as ‘(Oh) Pretty Woman’, ‘Dance The Night Away’ and ‘Ice Cream Man’ all making an appearance, this double CD setis a prime example of a truly legendary rock outfit at the height of their powers
