People like to overlook Michael Anthony's skills as a bassist because of the other three members. For most songs in Van Halen, he only strums one string of his guitar, especially during the solos, and plays a wide variety of the same key on songs like Jump and I'll Wait. You rock Anthony

Alex Van Halen is an extremely underrated drummer than given credit for, he mastered the art of supporting VH so well with his great tom fills that people forget to notice he doesn't know how to actually use the drums properly, that’s talent, rock on forever Alex!

Are there any Van Halen songs where I can hear Eddie singing by himself?

I know there is one song on Van Halen III where Eddie sings alone but with all the backup vocals on other albums all I can hear is Michael Anthony's voice. With the technology around today I'm surprised it hasn't been separated yet.

If Eddie was still around, do you think Van Halen would’ve reunited for Back To The Begging?

"Diamond" Dave is one of the worst frontmen to ever walk the face of the Earth. He can't sing, he can't dance, he can barely do the splits, and he can't dress. It makes sense since diamonds crack under pressure. There's also rumors of his sexual tension with Steve Vai

Despite contrary belief, Eruption is actually one of EVH's easiest songs to play on guitar within a week's practice. Pentatonic riffs, two-handing tapping, and rhythmic bends are incredibly easy to master, the only actual hurdle is tuning the guitar itself.

Why Did Van Halen Use the Wings Logo on Greatest Hits Vol. 1?

They just broke up with Sammy and recorded two new songs with Diamond Dave. I know half the songs are with Sam but still they were in a very huge public feud with him when this was released.Wouldn't it have been better to have both logos? Or even better why not have 1 disc Dave, 1 disc Sam?
