So how come nobody told me how good this is?
Because it's literal dad rock.
The only patrish glam is Whitesnake

>>64669700
Because it's too cishet and white.
/mu/ is afraid of the possibility that they might enjoy something their father does so most here have written it off as trash without actually engaging with it
>>64669700
I did tell you tho
I'm gonna guess you don't come here very often.
Go home. Go all the way home, and never turn back.

Sounds like /mu/ has daddy issues
The critics and anyone with taste has never liked Van Halen.

sounds like you have homosexual tendencies famalam
>>64670294
wow you sure showed them
>>64670305
That does sound like me
>>64670294
IIRC, didn't the music press in Van Halen's day mostly dickride New Wave bands?

Sweet, wanna touch dicks sometime?

shit is so cash. Literally if you've never done this then you're probably a nu male bernie bro who finger bangs his clit to that new anohni tranny shit faggot...
>>64670408
van halen is my favorite and I would vote for bernie :^)
>>64670408
Mah nigga.
>>64670404
Nah I'm busy
>Christgau thought Van Halen were tasteless, misogynistic white trash rock
>he then turned around and gave an A to Black Flag - Damaged
What exactly makes this more serious or tasteful than Van Halen?
It feels good to say what I want
It feels good to knock things down
It feels good to see the disgust in their eyes
It feels good, and I'm gonna go wild
Spray paint the walls
I don't want to see the plan succeed
There won't be room for people like me
My life is their disease
It feels good, and I'm gonna go wild
Spray paint the walls
>>64670513
In general, you shouldn't listen to what a single person has to say about a piece of art.
>>64670513
You gotta admit, Greg and Dez are killer guitarists.

>listening to any critic ever about anything
>>64669928
My dad actually has half decent taste.
ah yes, the dadrock contrarian
although i can't deny eddie's guitar skills desu. also fun as fuck to play these songs
>>64670451
Your loss homo
>>64670294
Rolling Stone ranked the first VH album the 410th greatest of all time
Yeah Van Halen is damn good rock and roll. It might be dad rock but literally everything becomes dad rock one day. Van Halen's sound is literally unparralled and his tone is incredible for rock music.
>>64669700
Atomic Punk and Little Dreamer are the best Van Halen songs
>>64670513
It's more because he doesn't believe in the whole "rock star/guitar hero" thing and he thinks hard rock should be bare-bones garage jams.
>>64670708
He has a pretty mouth too if you catch my drift.
Check out this one next op
>>64669700
It's a good album. A classic really, it raised the bar for every thing that came after it, as far as guitar goes anyway. It send millions of kids in to their bedrooms trying to emulate that sound. Well crafted hard rock pop songs, with soaring harmonies and the riffs, my god, the riffs. Check out Fair Warning as well, probably their strongest , most mature effort with DLR. Skip everything with Sammy.

motley crue are awful apart from a some songs
van halen arent even glam
>>64670928
Agreed. Van Halen is hard rock/arena rock
>>64670928
some songs*
>>64670408
>tranny shit
Please have a little respect, you doofus
>>64670892
>Skip everything with Sammy
Pleb detected. 5150 is one of their best albums, and some of the band's finest songwriting moments are found on his other albums.
>>64670928
The only Motley Crue you need is the first two albums+Decade of Decadence. The rest is just poodle rock for tweens.
>>64670994
>sammy
:/
>>64670994
This.
>>64670994
Fuck that, 5150 is when Van Halen became Sam Halen and turned into pussy power ballad crap. Too much keyboard and not enough Eddie being Eddie.
>>64671463
yup.
>>64671463
This 100%. DLR's solo stuff was much better, Eat Em and Smile shits all over 5150.
>>64671463
>I have never listened to 5150
>>64671715
his solo stuff is fucking garbage, you fucking memer
>>64671715
DLR's solo stuff is generic forgettable arena rock.
>18 And Life
>Youth Gone Wild
>I Remember You
>Sweet Little Sister
The best glam metal album of the late 80's
>>64669803
The term dad rock is so fucking stupid.
You have no idea how unhip you sound when you fucking saying that shit.
Music today is garbage.
>>64670983
fuck you faggot
Holy fuck Axl sounded amazing

>>64669700
It's fucking fantastic , I 100% agree.
>>64670294
Scaruffi gave this album a 7/10, which is very high for him.
>>64672276
I loved this album when i was a teen. Haven't listened to it in years.
>>64670408
Quality fucking post
>>64671463
>Sam Halen
The correct terminology is Van Hagar

Either way it sounds like Eddie lost his balls.
>>64670928
Which part of your body do you listen to music with? Because I'm sure as hell you don't do it with your ears.
>>64669700
Check out these:
Aerosmith—Toys in the Attic/Rocks: for some great hard rock with energy and riffs
Dio—first 3 albums: for GOAT heavy metal
Motley Crue—Shout at the Devil/Dr. Feelgood: for glam that has more energy than punk
Judas Priest—Screaming for Vengeance: for hard rock bordering on metal, taking best of both worlds
Guns N' Roses—Appetite for Destruction: self-explanatory
These are all at least 9/10 in my book
Pic related is a good 8.5 - 9/10
>>64669896
I dunno, dude. I really don't like Van Halen that much, tapping gets annoying to me and it all is just hair rock, which annoys me too, but, I like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
>>64670294
Critics have never once agreed with most anyone. Movies, TV, music, food, doesn't matter, critics are not the people to follow.
>>64677080
>all is just hair rock
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
>>64670513
tfw genry rollins loves van halen
VH are literally the only good to come of the 80s hair metal scene. They started it and they perfected it
Atomic Punk and I'm On Fire alone are worth the price of admission.
>>64673843
He's not wrong.
It's pretty good OP. I was surprised too when I listened through it for the first time.
Fucking love Fair Warning
>>64677157
I wouldn't say they started it but they were a big influence on that scene.
Thread full of a bunch of stupid kids wishing they liked Van Halen, probably bought a Sammy Hagar era tshirt just now. Stick with the wrong kind of nigger music and keep being white. You wouldnt understand electric guitar if a G string bit you on the tip of your dick.
>>64669700
because Fair Warning is objectively better
>>64675851
Good recs
