Released February 10, 1978. This album still fucking rocks. It achieved Gold status in May 1978, then went to Platinum status in October 1978. The album sold more than one million copies in the US alone in under a year. On August 7, 1996, the album went to Diamond status (ten million copies) as certified by the RIAA.

In 2017, students of the Los Rios School in San Juan Capistrano, California, re-recorded the full album with the help of the Produce Like a Pro team. The session was recorded in the same studio that Van Halen originally recorded in, using the same recording equipment that Van Halen used. The album continues to inspire young musicians 40 later.

Thought this was so fucking awesome in 1999. Went to see them live at Ozzfest, June 12, 2001 at the Verizon Wireless Music Center. Not too far from where I live today.

They are still playing as far as I know. If I would go see them again in 2018 would their audience be my age (30's) or teens?

Ann ("The Voice") and Nancy Wilson (Acoustic Guitar). From 1976.

Nancy would come into her own in the 80's. She was one of my first crushes, then I discovered Ann...

One of my favorites from 2003.

“My chicken listened to this song. Now he's a T-Rex.”

“Men and women will be forgotten. But monsters and gods will always be remembered.”

“I’m happy there's still this kind of music on the internet in my class there're only 2 people who like heavy metal: me and a good friend of mine. I think this music helps you with your anger or when you're a bit down.”

“I played this to my guinea pigs. Now I have to live in their enclosure.”
