How did this shitty band ever reach the level of popularity they did?

Van Halen has no good songs, such a shit and awful band.

>>127287933 (OP)
well, you have to actually have sex to "get" them. back in the day those who did not have sex listened to Talking Heads or something instead.

HERE I AM, AIN’T NO MAN OF THE WORLD, NO

>>127287933 (OP)
Can you talk about something that you do like. Hope you don't feel the same way about yourself. It looks like you do. But you look a bitch. You sound like one and you write like your education level is very low. Get a job.

>no good songs
>Is dead inside
Why not just admit you have no soul and dont like rock music.

>>127288077
Calling van Halen "Rock music" insults the genre and anyone who's ever made rock music

>>127287972
ya right - EVH was a total shit guitarist

I'd pick them over any other 80s mainstream rock band.

>>127288101
Outside of being able to play fast he was shit and couldn't write good music to save his life

>>127288084
>derps hard
lmao. ohhh so you're just a meme-ing larper. got it.

>>127288119
Oh boy i'd like to see you try. Now that would be a funny comparison.

>>127288084
is this the best you have? an endless string of "nuh uh their le bad" baitposts?

>>127288119
>Outside of being able to play fast he was shit
imagine being this retarded

>>127288132
I have written two songs of my own and both are much better than anything produced by Van Halen ever

>>127288084
you didnt answer the question
>Why not just admit you have no soul

>>127287933 (OP)
I used to agree with you, but ever since I started to listen to the instrumental versions, they have grown on me. I still think they're overrated.

>>127288138
Yes you're shit if you can't write music

>>127288145
not factual. your music is horrible. its not even music. its runny bile.

>>127288146
Van Halen has no soul, it's soulless pumpslop

>>127288150
At least you admit being shit.

I get you OP. It all feels so much WOOO! ROCKNROLL BABY YEAH *air guitar motions*

Dont like what I've heard from Van Halen so far either.

>>127288152
The songs aren't even complete yet have more depth then shitty 00000000 pinch harmonic

>>127288162
>projecting
>still didnt answer
What's your excuse?

>>127288166
The thing is that I can actually write music not Van Halen pumpslop
>00000000 3 pinch harmonic
>nifty triad and natural harmonics
>doodle for solo

>>127288174
incorrect. you dont have any idea about music and cant make any because you are dead inside.

>>127288178
You're a projecting faggot I have a soul unlike this shit band you love

>>127288182
>I can actually write music
being delusional is not helping your case

>>127288189
And you're a projecting little homo and van Halen sucks kek

>>127288191
>delusional seething as cope
lmao

Go on social media, look up a rock star, and post your playing on their timeline. You better have the skill to back up that mountain pile of shit you're talking. Good luck.

>>127288199
"Delusional" is thinking that van Halen is actually a good band with a good discography and good songwriting

>>127288203

You must be projecting with the middle school thing

Van Halen still sucks btw

>>127288251
Lots of bands "suck ass." But the worst player out of the insurmountable legion of guitar players you name will make you look like a clown. You're out of your league. and you just want to talk shit.

cool. post 'em and we will be the judge. if you dont then you're a faggot.

you're done here.

>>127288386
Well you go keep talking shit, and that's what faggots do, seriously.

Good luck with music your career.

>>127288460
>admits to being a faggot via projection
Grand kek

>>127287933 (OP)
Who are you again? This is 50 year old band with millions of fans across the world. Whatever opinion you have is irrelevant. It's not even about Van Halen really. It's everything under the sun apparently.
Sick of you retards always trying to reinvent the wheel or some shit. You don't matter.

>>127288519
>thinks I care about the opinion of retards
Cool cope buddy, van Halen is lucky to even be called music honestly

>>127287933 (OP)
>How did this shitty band ever reach the level of popularity they did?

"
Gene Simmons discovered them, leading to a Warner Bros. deal. Their music spread via radio, relentless touring, and MTV exposure in the '80s."

>>127288553
Wow thanks jew Simmons now I have to hear little van gaylen fans whine about how not awful they are because of him

>>127288485
>no you
>resorts to very poor coping to save face
lmao

>>127288570
Nobody said you had to listen to Van Halen.

>>127288590
I don't because they're dogshit, I've listened to every album of theirs and they all fucking suck

>>127288531
Cope about what. Reality already happened. You came too late and will never have any effect on this. And making a shitpost way after the fact doesn't alter time and space.
The only cope is you still think that you matter. And I don't blame you. Who wants to admit that they're a pointless person.

>>127288553
>Gene Simmons discovered them
thats what he wants you to believe. They were already very well known across the valley and sunset strip. The demo they made in NYC with Gene never went anywhere and he tore up their "contract" and went on tour. They went back to LA and that was when WB execs saw them and signed them. Dont believe everything Gene tells you

>>127288605

You don't like Van Halen, then don't listen to them.

Hope people don't feel the same way after hearing one of your two songs.

I PROBABLY FUCKING WILL THOUGH IF I EVER HEAR IT.

Stay brave.

>>127288611
>angry faggot still writing like I give a shit about his opinions as a Van gaylen fan

>>127288605
>they're dogshit
how would you know? you are incredibly stupid and your opinion is null

>>127288633
Yes I don't like them, I don't listen to them, and I will continue to talk about how much they suck balls

>>127288654
fuck off Geddy Lee

>>127288652
I've listened to every song of theirs I am very qualified to say that they suck

>>127288640
It isn't even about Van Halen. It's everyone of you pointless losers who do shit like this. Like the retard who thinks if he spams hard enough, everyone will hate the Beatles. Or Lou Reed. Or the Doors. Or whatever.

>>127288671
>I've listened to every song of theirs
no you didnt.
>I am very qualified
no you are not
lying does not help your case

>suck balls
again with the projection. Its well established that you are, in fact, a faggot but please keep your proclivities to yourself.

>>127288704
Aw are your wittle feewings hurt? All of those bands suck too

>>127288623
I don't. Of course not.

"Producer Ted Templeman and Warner Bros. exec Mo Ostin signed Van Halen after seeing them perform, impressed by their energy and Eddie’s guitar skills."

>>127288708
>no you didn't
Yes I did, from their first to whatever their last album was, every song, none are good

>again with the projection
You're the one projecting faggot

>>127288740
>Yes I did
>lying as cope

>admits to being a faggot

holy fuck you are so fucking stupid LOL

You sound like some deluded fatass bitch who think she's a princess...Never able to face that everyone is rejecting her on purpose.

no you. lmao

>>127288654
You think eddie's playing sucks, their songs are cheesy, have become a cliche and any fan who would choose them over modern artist must be a mindless drone. You think there's better bands out there, and you're dead set against any credibility or accolade being given to them. is that it.

Because no one on the face gives a fuck if you disagree with the fact that Eddie van Halen was a legendary guitar player among many others you can choose from. But there are people enjoy his music, and if you don't, you can turn it right off and walk away.

Only a punk would do what you're doing.

I don't care for kpop, but what do you think happens if one person goes to a kpop thread and says "i hate kpop" when that shit spammed constantly.

More people like van halen than they like you.

>>127287933 (OP)
I like Van Halen. They have some great songs. You must be not very fun or smart OP.

what a sad thread this is. you must be seriously unemployed OP to be wasting your time doing this

>>127288868
>keeps typing to justify how he was BTFOed
>still a gay homosexual

Oh nooo I accidentally cut a word. I have to look my best for random bullshit 4chan posts.
Oh, this isn't my life. That's yours.

idk. that sounds like would be a really good ideal

my (black) dad loved this band, my dad's also an electric guitarist. He says eddie van halen was his idol and favorite guitar player. RIP

>>127287933 (OP)
cause eddie was the best guitar player thats really all. they never really had any songs. their best song is dance the night away. eddie was great player, not so good songwriter. simple as.

>>127289169
>they never really had any songs

I like Hots For Teacher and Ain't Talkin' About Love
don't like their production though, too robotic and sterile and it went on to influence every band in the 80s

>>127289190
yes they obviously have tracks on their albums, but the songwriting is often lacking, not 100% of the time but most of it and to make matters worse dave is absolutely repellant as a vocalist especially to modern listeners. I really only enjoy listening to the isolated guitar tracks now.

>>127289228
>like their production though, too robotic and sterile
>recorded live in the studio
lol

>>127289253
why does it sound so wimpy then?
their demos have way more balls

>thin vocal track
>no doubling of the harmonies
You need your ears checked.

>>127287933 (OP)
because they're not a shitty band and Eddie changed electric guitar playing overnight

The first three albums are GOAT!
The DLR years are worthwhile.
I won't say Sammy Hagar ruined the band, but he was much better on his own as a solo artist.

I'm the One is the best song of of Van Halen 1

Whats wrong with van halen? a lot of their songs arent my thing, but nothing seems bad about them.

>>127293849
That's not how you spell Atomic Punk.

Its in an era where the guitar was king and Eddie was looked at as the best musician in music

Van Halen [Warner Bros., 1978]
For some reason Warners wants us to know this is the biggest bar band in the San Fernando Valley. That is an understatement--all new bands are bar bands unless they're Boston. The term "bar band" becomes honorific when the music belongs in a bar. This music belongs on an aircraft carrier. C

That's all Van Halen has is hits after hits

>>127287933 (OP)
Innovative guitar playing. Outside of that it's pretty boring. I'd rather listen to metal music that utilizes Van Halen techniques.

What’s with the one schizo always shitting on VH?

Guns n Roses wish they were half as good as Van Halen

https://youtu.be/JnZE7n2Gl3Q

So Van Halen came out in 1978 it seems like the 80s was filled with bands trying to replicate what Van Halen was doing

>>127291936
>What did he change except make tapping more popular?

Speed and accuracy, tapping, harmonics, whammy bar usage, legato patterns, his rhythm, his tone....not to mention his equipment modifiications that changed the industry like the Floyd Rose tremelo, single pick-up hot rodded guitar, amp mods etc...

because van halen is a 70s band and the entire next decade of rock music tried to copy them
