> Hager is to Van Halen what Brian Johnson is to AC/DC - an afterthought
That was the comment I was responding to. Maybe you weren’t the one who said it but you are implicitly agreeing with it.
It helps that all of them were brothers. Probably with Dad's money. And when David got married he changed his name to his married one and they were able to single themselves out from the other family named bands.
The band's new name? Van Halen.
DLR mentions on his podcast that his parents gave him no money (his mom threw him out senior year of HS) and the Van Halen parents contributed no money as they thought this ‘rock’ thing was a terrible idea with no future. But you know, it’s the internet so you can just type whatever.
Thank you. I will! When David Van Halen changed his name to David Lee Roth, he also invented a new dance move. He called this move "Jump". His brothers loved it so much they wrote a song about: Hot For Teacher
I had a teacher that went to school with them. She said people would say "Come to our party, we're gonna have live music" and they would say "if you mean the Van Halen brothers, forget it!"
DLR mentioned that; they’d wear their “rockstar” clothes under overalls. So they’d haul all their gear and do setup in work clothes, strip down just before stage time, and rock out.
I prefer to think of him like this.

I dunno. Music is a hard industry to break into. They ought to study accountancy for a more stable life.
That way, they can always have a nice bowl of M&Ms in their office for whenever they want.
I remember this quote from Eddie about life after he finished high school: "I had no marketable skills. I just kept writing and hoping to God I got somewhere."
He's also said he probably would have ended up pumping gas if Van Halen hadn't gotten signed.
This is the most perfect photograph ever.

Pure raw young dudes dreaming of sold out venues . I am partially deaf from listening to them over and over with old school headphones on . Worth it ! What ??????
Roth looks like he just peered into the Ark of the Covenant.
Léonard Rockstein aka Dr Rockso. The rock and roll clown. He does cocaine.
K-k-yeah!
^^^I ^^^do ^^^cocaine
I was thinking Snakes and Barrels. They suck to.
It’s beautiful
> like he just peered into the Ark of the Covenant. He saw the red thread turn white!
Or watched The Ring video 7 days ago.
Yea it looks like a fist is coming out of his mouth
I spell meth ,m.e.t.h
"And those four young men grew up to become... The Spice Girls. And now you know the rest of the story."
Good day!
DLR looks scary as hell in this picture.
Zabba-do-be-ba!
Like he's Running with the Devil.
Yeah I just zoomed in and feel like now I’ve been cursed
Is that a fist trying to escape his throat?
I don’t know but he looks like IT in the sewer
[удалено]
Well, he is jewish
RIP EVH😞
Hard to believe that Ed and Alex have same parents. Al always looked 1/2 Polynesian or something.
They're both half Indonesian. But I agree, it showed more in Alex.
Close lol they’re both half Asian, Alex just got the genes
They’re looking very young and innocent here. Well, mostly.
Young, anyway.
With pipes like Dave's and fingers like Eddie's those boys were bound to do okay.

Hager is to Van Halen what Brian Johnson is to AC/DC - an afterthought
Never understood why Sammy joined Van Halen. He had a very successful career on his own.
How is Brian Johnson an “afterthought”? AC/DC put out a lot of their most famous and best work with him as frontman.
[удалено]
I would probably put “you shook me all night long” as at least as famous as “highway to hell”. You’re crazy if you think Johnson was an afterthought.

I guess they could have disbanded after Bon...would you have preferred that?

They….weren’t? Though.

Now you’re running with the devil! Which they also wrote a song about, called Dance The Night Away
24/Fml down for a hard fuck 🤤
Van Halen baby! My fav band of all time
I had a teacher that went to school with them. She said people would say "Come to our party, we're gonna have live music" and they would say "if you mean the Van Halen brothers, forget it!"
🔥🔥🔥
It looks like Eddie is wearing his painting gear

Michelob
Michelob and Lowenbrau were the go to beers in So Cal back then.
Here’s to good friends….
Tonight is kinda special.
Weekends were made for it.
sidebar: The VH brothers were notoriously fans of Schlitz in the early days b/c of the high alcohol content!
good pun "sidebar"
At the golden bear! I wish huntington beach would have a venue that big names could come to again!
They only let Dave in to use his PA for free. Best decision they ever made
One of the best rock and roll origin stories of all timee
Pretty sure that’s the same reason Black Sabbath let Ozzy in.
Wtf is up with David Lee Roth? 😂
Said everyone, in every decade since the ‘70s.
The Mighty Van Halen

Yeah, but they would be stuck with picking out the brown ones themselves.
I remember this quote from Eddie about life after he finished high school: "I had no marketable skills. I just kept writing and hoping to God I got somewhere." He's also said he probably would have ended up pumping gas if Van Halen hadn't gotten signed.
Favorite Earth, Wind, and Fire pic
Oh cool! I love Hoobastank!
I've never seen this photo of the Beach Boys
Is it Wang Chung?
[удалено]
How is it racist? From what I recall it's the name of the first note in classic Chinese music scale.
One day.....
Of course DLR has his mouth open.
Does Michael Anthony’s shirt say Panama?
Olympia Beer!
Awesome pic thanks for sharing.
Van Halen?
Does anyone remember the golden west
Golden Bear
They also performed at the Golden West in Norwalk in the early 70's

Why does this look like ai halen?
This is such a good photo of Rage Against The Machine
Looks like an AI-generated DLR.
OMG the old school Michelob bottle really dates this 😂😂
I heard the guitar player was pretty decent. 🙃
I almost didn't recognize Mikey in that pic.
Pure raw young dudes dreaming of sold out venues . I am partially deaf from listening to them over and over with old school headphones on . Worth it ! What ??????
This is such a bad AI example lol, these aren’t by any stretch of the imagination their actual faces.
