Thanks for sharing this
This is my first time listening to the album, I’m 43 and a father; after getting super into STP recently, I am now ready for this.

El primer disco q escuche fue el 1984 desdé entonces los escucho tengo 52 años de edad..... Tu hermano de seguro estara escuchando siempre van halen...
Una de las mejores bandas... Saludos DESDE EL SALVADOR.
Thanks man❤
I'm 54 years old. I remember hearing this when it first came out on a classroom turntable during "indoor recess". It blew the whole class away and continues to blow me away today.
Yeah, I'm 51 and I got this on tape, I think it was basf tape from Saudi Arabia, that was 1985.. I kept playing this cassette and nobody likes it ha ha ha! Only me!
Allright
My friend and neighbor played me side 1 of his big brother's copy of the debut by Van Halen.....we were nervous as his brother was not around. The car horn on the intro to Running w t d was mind blowing....and the fast chops by Edward on You really g m is just still today totally mesmerizing. As a kid my young mind was driven crazy hearing this and then.....Ain't Talkin' Bout Love came on and I was hooked line and 2 sinkers!!
Ok but real talk wat the fuk is "indoor recess"? I can vaguely remember something like if there was a literal Tornado Warning ripping through town but asides from that what's wrong with a bit of rain?
@@TheBfutgreg
I'm almost positive it was during a snow storm or heavy downpour
This album was released 46 years ago. 46 years. Think about it. Sounds better than most of today's stuff, absolutely incredible composition, riffs, and mixing
I was 22 when released.....imagine letting me hear this for first time when hormones were rampant😅. 62 now, less hair and with hearing issues and still turning this up lol
Yep! You got that right, sure got that right! 🎵🎼🖐

Iconic!! First band I ever heard!! I wish I had you as my teacher!!!!😊❤
Your badass brother. Keep the legacy alive!!
Sorry about the heart thing. Was meant for the love We all have for "VANHALEN"!!

Tell me of a brand of speakers that can handle me cranking 44 yrs of Van Halen. 😊😊🎉🎉😊
Lmfao I just got the cops called for blasting this thru 2 15" 1200 watt stage speakers and 1 jbl prx lmao. And the closest home is 1 mile away. They said damn that sounds good almost as good as live.
I bet you cranked it so loud, all the damn cows on the nearby farms croaked! LOL ..
An eighties guitar sound before the eighties. Fascinating.
Try out TED NUGENT, then be ready to be blasted again
King Edward a real true innovator.
Vito Bratta of white lion is just as good.
@@bobbyw1510 Who?
Eddie invented it.
I am 65 yrs old and I can still remember my first time at a Van Halen concert in Philly. Man that place was ROCKING like the roof was going to come down. It was Spectacular. 🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟
Really truly wish I coulda caught 'em live back in the day....
At the Spectrum?
Yes the Spectrum
Im ten years down from you at 55 and I first put on VH's debut in 1980 as a 13 yr old. They'd already owned the rock world for a few yrs at that point but my younger ears were just then getting adjusted to the mastery and wizardry of Eddie, Alex, Michael and Dave as they simply slaughtered the competition with Van Halen, a kick ass debut.
Ñ
Disco knew it was over the day Van Halen hit the airwaves playing Atomic punk!!!
Nobody walks these stinking streets at night but me.....
Airwaves here Never ever played Atomic Punk. Van Halen road beside disco. Disco lived on in 80's dance music and beyond. Tons of hard rock bands love Bee Gees!
Melted your speakers. Kick ass mind blown at age 14!
Same
This album is THE standard and continues to set the bar for American rock! VH music lives on and will never die!
Whatever you wanna call Eddie? Technician? Magician? there will never be another, you can thank our wonderful god above that we have these recordings, I can't imagine a world without him in it, I still can't believe he's gone, Eddie is the reason I picked up a six string, although I've progressed a lot since the early 90s, I would never claim to hold a candle to my inspiration, I can play a few things he did, but I'm still amazed at his playing to this day, I mean how the fuck? There are great guitarists out there right now that can't even attempt the stuff he pulled off.

Yes! Sex, drugs, and Rock n' Roll was the 70's Mantra . I saw Van Halen April 1984 for my birthday.
And the cradle will ROCK! Have you seen Junior's grades?😊guitar echoes......aaaahhh.
Alex--- All day!! not enough props to brother on the drums. These vocals! One bad ass album concept. Thank you for all of it Eddie. we miss you.
BIG AL Deserves SOOO Much more than he got! 💪😎👍
Yes, absolutely ! The 70's and 80's , what a good time growing up 😆

Golden years o f Music🎶🎵🎺 📀🎻🎤🎹 no doubt..! 😜😜😜 100%
Just enough.
Oh my yep . I was born in 63 . Trust me I had it made .!! GOd bless y’all
Yah 1964 when the grocery store butcher could send five kids to college? Until Reagan 😊
I was in 8th grade when this album was released and U remember hearing it at a friend's house. Used my paper route money to buy it April of 78 and still have it to thus day. My favorite record that year.
I grew up with van halen it's in my heart
I will never forget the first time I heard Van Halen on the radio it was Jamie's Crying and it was like a new sound that no one had ever heard before, when the song was over the DJ said that's a new band out of LA and they will be coming to town on tour this summer. I picked up the phone and called my friend and said did you just hear that? And he was like yeah I sure did and we were like we are so going to that concert, and we did...it was badass! I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up with the 50's through the 80's music YOU were blessed!" Rock on!
Awesome song
The 70's were the best.
I remember that too, 1978 my mom bought this album and brought it home and my brother and I couldn't believe the sounds we were hearing. I'm 56 now and still appreciate Eddie's sound
I wanted his painters pants,so cool,everybody,Jump!!
Ok
Eruption still gives me goosebumps!!!
Me too 😊
Eruption inspired metal guitar into the eighties. Everyone was hammering on, pinching harmonics and a whammy bar was absolutely mandatory!
Can you imagine the feeling T Templeman felt looking at Eddie and Alex warming up. Easily "What the F-CK was that" moment. Changed history
Hell Ya !
@@kitwalker2968 -- Thank you for not saying "tapping" and "tremolo bar." 🙂
“Jaime’s Cryin” One of my personal favorites though the entire album is friggen awesome.
Relive your youth with this album....man
In 1978, when punk was infesting every rock station the rock gods blessed us with this!!!!!!!!!
The word "infesting" won't offend the Punk crowd, more like a compliment. Thank you..err I mean F... 😆

The tone on this album continues to be the worlds most sought after guitar tone even to this very day .
No doubt that he created the best sound ever and not just studio. On stage as well. Built his own guitars. Wasn't quite happy with the way they worked at the time. Decided to mix a few pieces here and there on his own. Not a lot of people can ever say that. Look up D-tuna sometime.
That good ol "brown" tone. Unparalleled.
He was a AWESOME guitarist!! I mean red , hot , smoke'n bad thru the bone !!!
Just imagine what he would have come up with if he was still alive a great gone to soon no one will ever come close to eddies greatness

Born in 1966. I grew up in the greatest era of rock and metal ever! I'm 57 now and remember all the greatest albums coming out from Zepplin, Sabbath, Halen, Ozzy, Dio, Priest, Maiden, AC/DC, Crue, GNR.... today's music is lame. That's why teens are turning back to my generation's music for rock and metal.
I'm born in 1997 and that's most of the music I listen to hahahaha
I agree there are so many more to list.😊
me 2 im from your generation of Music im 55 lets rock to the good o jams
Agree with you 100%. I was born in 1966 too!
I'm there with you brother because I'm the same age as you it was a great time to grow up in
I had just bought my first serious stereo system. Put this album on, "cranked it to 11" and blew the fuses in my massive speakers 😁
Fuckin' A man.
Atta boy!
The Greatest debut album ever! Priceless!!💎💎💎💎
"Are you experienced" may want to have a word with you...
As a 56 year old, i look and stare at the album cover while listening with the same amazement and wonder I did when I purchased this album when I was 12. Their music still blows me away today!
They are perhaps the epitome of the perfect American rock band. I got to believe this is one of the top 5 greatest albums of all time !
It is full throttle rock !🤘
✌😎✌
I am a 56 year old guy from France and I did the same thing when I was 12 !
This cover and my first listening of " Running with the devil" are in my mind forever !
I'm 55....this record was the greatest. Still is! Ill never forget pissing my P's off with this one. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
I had the logo in the back of my blue jeans jacket at school i.m 59 still rockin man
The record that changed it all....!! Damn.
I came home with this album and my older brother finally accepted me into his musical society.
Shortly after this album was released, I saw VH warming up for Journey. I knew, right away, those warming up days were not gonna last....
In a few years, it'll be a half-century old and still astounding.
That solo on Ice cream man was so far ahead of it's time. Such a fantastic album.
This stuff is real Rock!!! Miss ya, Eddie!!!
I cried. So glad I got to see them more than a few times!!!!!
I first watched this album spin around when I was 15. I was born in 66. Wow! It was a life changer 4sure!
I was a sophomore in high school when this came out. We all had this cranking in our trucks on new cassette decks, and cranked up amps. What memories of Friday and Saturday nights. Damn, so long ago.

First heard this great album way back in the 80's. I'm now 60 years old and still rocking!
And so are they!😆
Van Halen-Van Halen was and is the most replayed album I have ever possessed....other than Great White and Judas Priest’s Turbo Lover. I attribute that to I’ve had Van Halen since I was 13yrs old and only got the other two when I was 19 (granted the last two was easier to play as they were on cds)
what about the 70s?
Short Story: Friend of mine was living in LA and had a local band play his birthday. The name of the band was "Mammoth". A year later they came out with this album. Before Van Halen, there was Mammoth.
Is Eddie's sons band named mammoth as well?
Van Halen started in 1975… and know way that group was I have heard of them as good and I'm not talking about Sammy Hagar because he is not good and not van halen.
Eddie Van Halen Son Wolf Jack Van Halen band is mammoth wvh right now . I think it is to take back his dads heritage and I believe he doesn't like David Lee Roth
❤
@@tracynixon8732Mammoth WVH is Wolf's bands name
That album changed music forever. When you heard that album it made you sit up and take notice. I used to come home for lunch and blast that album cause nobody was home in my Apt. Building. Little Dreamer is my favorite.
I have a stage sound system in my shop with 2 15" 3 way monitors, 2 jbl prx715 powered monitors with a 750 watt peavey amp and this song will rattle shit off the walls no problem. Neighbor who's roughly 1 mile away can hear the words if I have the doors open lmao. Makes your ears and chest hurt after a few mins
I remember a friend called me up and said come over and listen to this new band that just came out. I was totally blown away and stopped at K-mart on the way home to pick up the album, and have been a Van Halen fan ever since. Lots of great times and even better memories!
44 years ago today began was the day the greatest guitar player to ever exist was heard.
Lots of great players but this dude was the Greatest.
Vito Bratta of White Lion equally good.🎉
Eddie is surely in the pantheon of all time greatest!
Great but no SRV !
@@edpatronick8472 and Stevie was never no Eddie Van Halen so.......
The Trilogy is Jimi, EVH and El Becko; the three of them were in a totally different building. Pure genius.
Van Halen The most ultimate Rock Band of all time R.I.P EVH
Best opening guitar riff in the recorded history of planet Earth!!
The first time I ever saw them is when they opened up for black Sabbath and I was shell shocked how good they were back in 78 ! I didn't know much about them at first. WOW!
Each album seemed to speak to when it was put out.... I think they are all perfect through Sammy... I hated the Sammy stuff when it came out but now im like just wow!
I love reading the stories of how people got to know this album and their memories of it. It just makes the whole experience rich and real and relevant to this moment in time. Peace out and God bless all of you.
Me to that’s why I told mine I appreciate it even more now not because Eddie and my brother is gone but because Iam older and understand this is pure genius magic all four of them come together in a moment of time and blew us away can you imagine what kids will say in 100 200 yrs saying wow it must have been awesome so I’ll write this to them it was fucking awesome hearing it for the first time but we got to see it to Iam so glad I was born in 1970 and the years we spend growing up it was awesome I wish just one weekend back before I die would be awesome
This record had you hooked as soon as you heard the bass
hearing ''Eruption/You Really Got Me" for the 1st time in 1978 got me instantly hooked on this band...
Heard it late one night in 1978 , I was 8yrs old. Instant fan had a weed contact high....lol.
WOW! The memories, a Chevelle SS with a pioneer cassette tape player and pioneer 698's in the back!
Their playing has such spirit. It's so alive... and joyous.... puts me in a good mood... and good mood is something rare anymore...
Hang in there kid it always gets better !!!
Every early VH album was supposed to have the energy of a live album, according to the wiki article I read earlier today.....apparently it didn't take longer than 2 weeks to record any of their first half records, as opposed to later glam acts that were produced to hell and took years sometimes, like Def Leppard's Hysteria
All great guitarists have swing. Eddie is the swing master mixed with those incredible leads.
@@johnstaiano5191 Allen Holdsworth doesn't swing not that i have heard and be was Eddies idol.
One of the best albums of ever, maybe the best debut.
I'm on Fire... This might be the best hard rock song ever...
Good american rock Here,in Poland We liked Boston,Kiss,Cars,Aerosnith,and more but Van Halen always is the top.
I bought this as a teenager back then, me and my brother freaked out we were jumping around the room turning it up so loud
ahhh the 70's
I was a senior in high school when I got my first copy on vinyl . My tennis coach introduced me to it. It was in 1978. Since then I have had it on 8 track tape,cassette,and now on CD. This album has had such an enormous impact on my life,and it still does to this day. It made me want to pick up the guitar and practice. This album changed the face of the guitar,and the face of all music for that matter. I will forever miss Eddie Van Halen. He is my guitar idol ,and always will be. God Bless him.
🙏 AMEN
Truth....
A classic album
Disse tudo! Momentos assim nos define bastante quando somos muito jovens! Deve ter sido uma grande época da sua vida. Isso fica para sempre!
This album changed my life. Grade 12. A 68 chevy C10 pickup truck truck with an Rockford Fosgate Amp. Speakers on the back of the seat that hot is in the head when I hit the breaks. Best time of my life
Loved waking up to this as a kid. Before school
I heard this album and never looked back! Saw them in 1983 in msg my ears where never the same. Gotta love it!
The early 80's had a certain tone that is hard to duplicate. Eddie and Randy knew it for sure!
Got to give this one a listen especially today. Rest Peacefully Edward Van Halen. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Can you imagine this being your first album....
It was...
Yes I can and I do.
It was!!!
It was 1 of many
I could imagine it being the only music ik 😉
Seen them in Detroit MI USA Mar 10 1978 on their World Tour.. Awesome Concert 🍻 🌎🌍🌏
This album in my opinion is Van Halen's best . Eddie you are truly the one that gave Van Halen its true sound. You were amazing at the guitar. You were the new sound of the 80's. R.I.P. Its hard to Believe your not with us anymore. David you were so good, when I think of Van Helen its your voice to me is Van Halen. Grow your hair back get back to where you once was. Eddie's son is the close's to Eddie we can get. Do Eddie justis and keep his spirit alive. Love you Eddie!
I saw them in 1977 at the whiskey a go go practicing the album before their tour I was 19 years old, I was on stage behind them in awe
Eddie use to sing lead vocals in the early pre-dave days. When you hear them live the mix of the three (Dave, Mike, Eddie) give that distinctive VH vocal sound.
how old were you after?

I first heard this on cassette in my brother's car when it came out. It was like nothing I've ever heard before. Still the only Van Halen I still listen to. Good fucking job. Van Halen.
This band has raised the bar for me on many different levels as far as their mastery of their craft. May God bless Mr. Eddie VanHalen.
Only 4 guitar players I have ever seen played quite like this and here is one of them. Incredible.
Best debut hardrock album by far. Ground Breaking. Still remember when i first heard it. Amazing.
Definitely one of the best top ten Rock albums ever made. The showmanship of David and guitar playing creativity of Eddie, there was and is no better combo.
Ed and Al are indisputably off the charts, I want to shout out the 4 man background vocal work. Just pure bang on.
not enough props for Alex.
Ummm, Not enough Props for Alex ?? Van Halen is ummm ALEX and ???? Who else was in the band ??? Alex and ... ummm... Alex and hmmm.... Damn , I feel bad for all the other cats... Alex is so BaddAss that it's hard to remember the other cats names, though they are the Baddest BaddAsses Around, That Guitarist is Second to None... Their Singer could really Rock the House and his Style was Spot On , and their Bassest was Thumpinly Funkin Rockin with a nice Tight Hard Groove... but they woulda had a hrad time makin it without that Drummer and his Giant Gong \m/ Man , Alex Shook the Arena and Was that Hard Set In Stone Foundation of Every F'N Song... \m/
AleX Marks The Spot \m/
The perfect album.
The pace and sonic quality of this album in this HQ format is epic. This is a one in a kind album, still super fresh sounding..
The stereo / echo/ sep on VHs guitar is so immense it transcends dimensions.
God it's so good.
TIS...
Absolutely, got turned on to VH in 78, saw them live in West Texas on the Women and Children first (The Cradle will Rock) tour, they were on fire, brought down the house.
I'm a 36-year-old guitarist, vocalist and Ye fan and I'm listening to this album for the first time and I love it.
First time?hard to believe
@@theodorebrady9341 IK I'm ashamed. I mean I've heard the songs before but never listened to the whole album start to finish until the day I originally posted
Often imitated but never duplicated. Simply one of the best!
Winter of 78. Turned 18 in May of that year and graduated high school in June. Had 4 years of guitar playing under my belt playing Zep and Sabbath and Eddie drops this. HELL YEAH!!!! Now I have 49 years of guitar playing under my belt!!!!
You hit the Sweet Spot.
Rock On Brother....same here, Class of '78. Had my Univox Lawsuit Les Paul at 14, long hair and an attitude. Took Lessons from Denny Zager (in the year 2525) at 14 & Played in Hairbands during college in the 80's. We had an agent out of Omaha and later did the 70's Cover Band until 2010. Keep Bending Strings and scaring the Neighbors.
Me too brother
I remember discoving this at 11 yrs old, blew my little mind, I loved it... Best Van Halen song... I'm On Fire !
When i was 15years i was used to listned that album every day on my Walkman it was the only albums i Never get tired of and today i am 35 and i get over here randomly but still Never get tired of Running with the devil they are still my favorite band !
I want to say Fair Warning, but I can't. This is the ONE I would choose.
Those 2 albums are so good, it would make me sad to lose either one.
I was feeling depressed and had no outlook on life. Cold war. My parents didn't give a rats azz about me. We're all goina die attitude. Went to the local record shop. Could always get some medicine their. Saw the album cover. Hey. These guys gotta rock.
Took it home. Cranked it up on my A-7's. Felt alot better.
Heavy metal is therapy. Learned how to shred.
Thanks rock and roll. Keep me alive and kickin.
I remember purchasing this record when it was released. 😊
😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I still remember in elementary school, a substitute teacher named Miss Campbell, saying she went to see Van Halen the night before. I was in the 3rd grade. Many years ago it was!
When this album first came out, my friends and I were listening thinking, what the hell? There was never a guitar sound like this ever. It was all new. It was like listening to Hendrix All Over Again.
THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN IN 1978.
Ya, I saw them a couple of times 👊🎶👌💥
Summer of 78 and hanging out in a parking lot by the school with some friends. I was learning to play guitar at the time, and a buddy of mine who also played guitar said “hey, I want you to hear this new band with this incredible guitar player on it. I’ll never forget the moment I heard eruption for the first time! Wow!! I remember telling my buddy that if this is where guitar playing is going, I might as well hang it up. Lol! Eddie set a new bar, and I’ve enjoyed every note!!
An Awesome debut!!
The vibes are incredible 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
one of the first albums I ever listened to in my life, I remember being a kid and sneaking into my favorite uncles room who was a huge collector of music, I'd grab his ten pound personal sony cd player from the 80's and a handfull of random cd's: depeche made, halen, the cure, and I'd listen to the albums straight through, this album is still as much as an eargasm as it was to me 33 years ago as a kid!
1978 for me! I had just got into NTC/RTC in San Diego, during our training our 1st class drill instructors allowed us to have cassette player during after hours and then we heard Van Halen eruption!!!!! 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤯🤯🤯 it blew our minds!!!! Made basic boot camp liveable!!!! USN!!!
One of the best albums 😃 I ever bought when I was 17 years old!!
Grew up listening to Van Halen they were awesome 👍🍺 🎸🎸🎸
Got this LP when it was released..ninth grade..groundbreaking music..we were finding a new song to sing along with our zeppelin .. I STILL think it’s their best album ☮️🌎
One of my all time favorite Bands!💕

I got this on vinyl sortly after it came out. I was 12 and got my love of music from an uncle who was into Zepplin, Meat Loaf, Three Dog Night, etc. This album changed everything and shaped the 80s and 90s rock sound that is still an influence today. EVH is top 3 greatest ever. A genius.
