Van Halen rocketed to stardom with their raucous, 10X-platinum-plus 1978 self-titled album, one of the greatest debuts ever. Anchored by Eddie Van Halen’s guitar wizardry and David Lee Roth's vocal showmanship, the band's dynamic sound reinvented hard rock. A run of multiplatinum Top 10 discs followed, peaking with 1984, another 10X-platinum blockbuster and Roth's swan song. Sammy Hagar replaced the vocalist, a transition that cost the band no momentum. The Red Rocker's VH debut, 1986's 5150 , hit #1 on The Billboard 200, as did 1988's OU812. The Grammy-winning 1991 release, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, reached #5. This new compilation spotlights Van Halen's always-stellar musicianship over the course of 25 years and two world-class frontmen, and continues the story with three brand new Hagar-fronted tracks!

Summary: Rev Me Up (at your risk)
Comment: You there, yeh YOU, how did you know, when you just reached out and touched me ~ that it was OK? Nobody touches me. 'Cept you. What's up with you, you telepathic or something, that's pretty fearless 'cause I'm pretty unpredictable and fairly illimitable when I put my heart in it. Watch it ~ 'cause it can get fast, fast. But whatcha really need to know before you proceed with me is what's the big fat difference between David Lee and Sammy.

Summary: PATHETIC BEHAVIOUR
Comment: Trying to reduce Cherone's time in the band by refusing to acknowledge he was even there is childish. Including live tracks of Hagar trying to be Lee Roth is pathetic. A few tracks from the unfairly-maligned Cherone album would've kept everyone happy.

Summary: the best of the both worlds "sort of"
Comment: This product right here is a two-disc set featuring both david lee roth and sammy hagar songs, none with gary cherone. In my mind, the first disc should be david lee roth songs, and the 2nd disc is sammy hagar. But instead one song is david and the next is sammy. It is by no means a crappy album. It just ruins it when i am listening to david lee roth singing Jump and then the next track comes and it's sammy singing. Also, I should say that there are three new tracks on this, Sammy, Eddie and Alex play on it but no michael anthony

Summary: Van Halen Rocks
Comment: This two cd collection of Eddie and the guys is without a doubt the best of their best.If you love Van Halen,do yourself a huge favor and get this,I listen to it over and over.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Highly Flawed
Comment: First of all, this is album is tainted politically. This was at the time when Eddie was having issues with Roth, and they were writing a few tunes with Sammy Hagar; hence, the over abundance of Sammy material.
This is simply unfair. If anything, it should be more Roth, but at least could've split evenly. Their most substantive material was written with Roth. That is fact. Now, I dig the Red Rocker, too, but lets be real about it, Roth era was the best.
Eddie's goddamn ego taints everything. Take, for instance, the lack of material from VH III! I know this album sucked, but christ, lets not pretend it didn't happen. Throw us a track or two.
This is a good compilation for the ladies, as it has plenty of Sammy soft rockers on it.
I do not recommend this.
