Van Halens were Dutch immigrants.

Van Halen [Warner Bros., 1978]
For some reason Warners wants us to know that this is the biggest bar band in the San Fernando Valley. This doesn't mean much--all new bands are bar bands, unless they're Boston. The term becomes honorific when the music belongs in a bar. This music belongs on an aircraft carrier. C

there are a lot of Van Halen studio outtakes that are surfacing on youtube. many of these are room mic recordings so you can hear what they actually sound like without the post processing

Sure thing poser

>>126928263
One of his more incomprehensible reviews.

>>126927426
Van Halens were Indonesian immigrants.

>>126928334
It’s actually one of his most accessible… sad but true.

First three VH albums are GOAT!

>This music belongs on an aircraft carrier
This sounds fucking epic. Was he trying to say this as an insult? Who is he and why do you keep posting him here. Is he you?

Van Halen rule. I like Van Hagar too but don't know them as much. Rank the Van Hagar albums.

F.U.C.K > 5150 > Balance > OU812

>>126933758
just listen to the singles, they're good. everything else is major filler

>>126933758
5150 > FUCK > OU812 > Balance

Skip the live album, even by Sammy's own admission it was a cream job; they basically did a studio album and mixed in crowd noise.

>filler
naw. I would have loved to see Sammy end his most recent Best of All Worlds tour with Inside.

zoomer faggots lack the brain chemicals necessary to form opinions on their own, so they have to express themselves by posting VTubers or Twitter ecelebs.

>>126931000
trips of truth

and yeah the degree to which someone cares about a famous critic's opinion is inverse to the degree that they actually understand music at all.

Critics are for casuals.

christgau is neither of those you gorilla nigger

>>126927365 (OP)
was just listening to this. How weird.
neighbors banged on the wall. I hate living in a Condo.
Listening to Scorpions now. a little bit more chill. Still Loving You. great song

Bach's Chaconne from Partita no 2 really sounds like Van Halen on violin in places
