Van Halen - Van Halen [Full Album] (HQ) 

Who else still jamming this album in 2024? Eddie’s guitar is spectacular.

The record that changed it all....!! Damn.

Disco knew it was over the day Van Halen hit the airwaves playing Atomic punk!!!

Born in 1966. I grew up in the greatest era of rock and metal ever! I'm 57 now and remember all the greatest albums coming out from Zepplin, Sabbath, Halen, Ozzy, Dio, Priest, Maiden, AC/DC, Crue, GNR.... today's music is lame. That's why teens are turning back to my generation's music for rock and metal.

I'm 95 years old and like van halen

"You know you're semi good lookin!" Best line ever......

OH YEAH!!Still running HOT 44 years later!! !!Crank this s*** up!!!

It's Monday morning in a 10th grade classroom and I am playing this for my entering students. Whether or not they like it...they do need it.

I'm on Fire... This might be the best hard rock song ever...

In 1978, when punk was infesting every rock station the rock gods blessed us with this!!!!!!!!!

Greatest Hard Rock Debut & perfect track sequencing

Seen them in Detroit MI USA Mar 10 1978 on their World Tour.. Awesome Concert 🍻 🌎🌍🌏

I grew up with van halen it's in my heart

I'm 54 years old. I remember hearing this when it first came out on a classroom turntable during "indoor recess". It blew the whole class away and continues to blow me away today.

Melted your speakers. Kick ass mind blown at age 14!

I was in 8th grade when this album was released and U remember hearing it at a friend's house. Used my paper route money to buy it April of 78 and still have it to thus day. My favorite record that year.

This album was released 46 years ago. 46 years. Think about it. Sounds better than most of today's stuff, absolutely incredible composition, riffs, and mixing

Relive your youth with this album....man

I am 65 yrs old and I can still remember my first time at a Van Halen concert in Philly. Man that place was ROCKING like the roof was going to come down. It was Spectacular. 🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟

I came home with this album and my older brother finally accepted me into his musical society.

“Jaime’s Cryin” One of my personal favorites though the entire album is friggen awesome.

One of the best debut album ever by a band

I saw them in 1977 at the whiskey a go go practicing the album before their tour I was 19 years old, I was on stage behind them in awe

My older brother came home with this album brand new he was born in 66 and me in 70 he said hey come listen to this band called Van Halen and my brother was just learning guitar we sat in his room and put it on and we both looked at each other and who are these gods of sound it was incredible i felt so proud that my brother let me listen to them in his room I remember we listened to it over and over until my dad come home and he walked in and said what’s that noise I hear sounds like animals we laughed and said dad this is the greatest band of all time he said yeah who are they and my brother said Van Halen my dad paused and said ha never heard of them and closed the door we lost my brother in 2022 my dad came over the other day and I was playing this album my dad walked in and said hey I heard of them that’s Van Halen and I looked at my dad and said do you remember when you said you never heard of them he said I lost one of you I remember what y’all were wearing and he started crying I said I know dad I miss him to he said it’s not just that son I should have sat with you guys and said so this is what you guys listen to ha I said dad you never told us to turn it down and he said no but if I would have know I would loose one of you before me dying I would have come in there and sat down and said turn it up we sat there listening to this album and he said your brother could play a lot of this I said yeah dad he could he looked at me and said play it again your brother really liked these guys and I said yeah dad he loved him and I hope he is up there playing with Eddie right now he said me to

I was a sophomore in high school when this came out. We all had this cranking in our trucks on new cassette decks, and cranked up amps. What memories of Friday and Saturday nights. Damn, so long ago.

As a 56 year old, i look and stare at the album cover while listening with the same amazement and wonder I did when I purchased this album when I was 12. Their music still blows me away today! They are perhaps the epitome of the perfect American rock band. I got to believe this is one of the top 5 greatest albums of all time ! It is full throttle rock !🤘

Yes, absolutely ! The 70's and 80's , what a good time growing up 😆

In a few years, it'll be a half-century old and still astounding.

If you went to high school in the late 70’s, this was your “Beatles” moment!

Van Halen The most ultimate Rock Band of all time R.I.P EVH

hearing ''Eruption/You Really Got Me" for the 1st time in 1978 got me instantly hooked on this band...

Shortly after this album was released, I saw VH warming up for Journey. I knew, right away, those warming up days were not gonna last....

This stuff is real Rock!!! Miss ya, Eddie!!!

Van halen 1 ,2 and woman and children first got no bad songs....classics for life..👌

Loved waking up to this as a kid. Before school

One of the best albums of ever, maybe the best debut.

This record had you hooked as soon as you heard the bass

Short Story: Friend of mine was living in LA and had a local band play his birthday. The name of the band was "Mammoth". A year later they came out with this album. Before Van Halen, there was Mammoth.

This album is THE standard and continues to set the bar for American rock! VH music lives on and will never die!

Alex--- All day!! not enough props to brother on the drums. These vocals! One bad ass album concept. Thank you for all of it Eddie. we miss you.

I will never forget the first time I heard Van Halen on the radio it was Jamie's Crying and it was like a new sound that no one had ever heard before, when the song was over the DJ said that's a new band out of LA and they will be coming to town on tour this summer. I picked up the phone and called my friend and said did you just hear that? And he was like yeah I sure did and we were like we are so going to that concert, and we did...it was badass! I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up with the 50's through the 80's music YOU were blessed!" Rock on!

The early 80's had a certain tone that is hard to duplicate. Eddie and Randy knew it for sure!

I first watched this album spin around when I was 15. I was born in 66. Wow! It was a life changer 4sure!

This album in my opinion is Van Halen's best . Eddie you are truly the one that gave Van Halen its true sound. You were amazing at the guitar. You were the new sound of the 80's. R.I.P. Its hard to Believe your not with us anymore. David you were so good, when I think of Van Helen its your voice to me is Van Halen. Grow your hair back get back to where you once was. Eddie's son is the close's to Eddie we can get. Do Eddie justis and keep his spirit alive. Love you Eddie!

WOW! The memories, a Chevelle SS with a pioneer cassette tape player and pioneer 698's in the back!

Their playing has such spirit. It's so alive... and joyous.... puts me in a good mood... and good mood is something rare anymore...

An eighties guitar sound before the eighties. Fascinating.

I first heard this on cassette in my brother's car when it came out. It was like nothing I've ever heard before. Still the only Van Halen I still listen to. Good fucking job. Van Halen.

I still remember in elementary school, a substitute teacher named Miss Campbell, saying she went to see Van Halen the night before. I was in the 3rd grade. Many years ago it was!

What a troughback one of the only albums I could listen all the way a & b

I was feeling depressed and had no outlook on life. Cold war. My parents didn't give a rats azz about me. We're all goina die attitude. Went to the local record shop. Could always get some medicine their. Saw the album cover. Hey. These guys gotta rock. Took it home. Cranked it up on my A-7's. Felt alot better. Heavy metal is therapy. Learned how to shred. Thanks rock and roll. Keep me alive and kickin.

Good american rock Here,in Poland We liked Boston,Kiss,Cars,Aerosnith,and more but Van Halen always is the top.

Eruption still gives me goosebumps!!!

Eddie Van Halen is the worlds best hard rock Lead Guitarst in USA & the worlds. Rest in peace Eddie Van Halen.

Back then I could buy a 50 Cent joint and get stoned and listen to this six dollar album and be perfectly happy! Imagine that🎸🇺🇸👍🏻🎸👍🏻🇺🇸🎸👍🏻 make rock ‘n’ roll great again🎸🇺🇸👍🏻🎸🇺🇸👍🏻

I heard this album and never looked back! Saw them in 1983 in msg my ears where never the same. Gotta love it!

I love reading the stories of how people got to know this album and their memories of it. It just makes the whole experience rich and real and relevant to this moment in time. Peace out and God bless all of you.

Absolutely, got turned on to VH in 78, saw them live in West Texas on the Women and Children first (The Cradle will Rock) tour, they were on fire, brought down the house.

I had just bought my first serious stereo system. Put this album on, "cranked it to 11" and blew the fuses in my massive speakers 😁

Definitely one of the best top ten Rock albums ever made. The showmanship of David and guitar playing creativity of Eddie, there was and is no better combo.

That album changed music forever. When you heard that album it made you sit up and take notice. I used to come home for lunch and blast that album cause nobody was home in my Apt. Building. Little Dreamer is my favorite.

I was a senior in high school when I got my first copy on vinyl . My tennis coach introduced me to it. It was in 1978. Since then I have had it on 8 track tape,cassette,and now on CD. This album has had such an enormous impact on my life,and it still does to this day. It made me want to pick up the guitar and practice. This album changed the face of the guitar,and the face of all music for that matter. I will forever miss Eddie Van Halen. He is my guitar idol ,and always will be. God Bless him.

The Greatest debut album ever! Priceless!!💎💎💎💎

First heard this great album way back in the 80's. I'm now 60 years old and still rocking!

Winter of 78. Turned 18 in May of that year and graduated high school in June. Had 4 years of guitar playing under my belt playing Zep and Sabbath and Eddie drops this. HELL YEAH!!!! Now I have 49 years of guitar playing under my belt!!!!

I978 was 17 best album ever 🔥🔥🔥62 year of age still rocks 🎸🎸🎸🎸

Saw VH when supporting Black Sabbath on their 10th anniversary tour at Newcastle City Hall back in 1980 I think or three abouts.. An unbelievable concert , a perfect combination of the past and the future.

Got to give this one a listen especially today. Rest Peacefully Edward Van Halen. Thank you for sharing your gift.

1978 for me! I had just got into NTC/RTC in San Diego, during our training our 1st class drill instructors allowed us to have cassette player during after hours and then we heard Van Halen eruption!!!!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤯🤯🤯 it blew our minds!!!! Made basic boot camp liveable!!!! USN!!!

Best opening guitar riff in the recorded history of planet Earth!!

Van Halen's best and first album. Every song is kick ass. I was in 11th grade 16 yrs. old when it came out. Boy the 1970 great year for heavy metal.

I remember a friend called me up and said come over and listen to this new band that just came out. I was totally blown away and stopped at K-mart on the way home to pick up the album, and have been a Van Halen fan ever since. Lots of great times and even better memories!

The tone on this album continues to be the worlds most sought after guitar tone even to this very day .

That solo on Ice cream man was so far ahead of it's time. Such a fantastic album.

I bought this as a teenager back then, me and my brother freaked out we were jumping around the room turning it up so loud ahhh the 70's

The stereo / echo/ sep on VHs guitar is so immense it transcends dimensions. God it's so good.

The perfect album.

"Eruption" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Got this LP when it was released..ninth grade..groundbreaking music..we were finding a new song to sing along with our zeppelin .. I STILL think it’s their best album ☮️🌎

One of the best albums 😃 I ever bought when I was 17 years old!!

THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN IN 1978. Ya, I saw them a couple of times 👊🎶👌💥

I got this on vinyl sortly after it came out. I was 12 and got my love of music from an uncle who was into Zepplin, Meat Loaf, Three Dog Night, etc. This album changed everything and shaped the 80s and 90s rock sound that is still an influence today. EVH is top 3 greatest ever. A genius.

BOY! Does this remind me of my senior HighSchool days.

I remember purchasing this record when it was released. 😊

Great comments 👍 great times in a simpler world, My generation has seen happy days come and go sadly. I think I was 15 then, a lethal combination rest in peace Eddie god bless the van Halen family...

Fully loaded, masterclass. I think about you, every single day. K

I was leaving in Germany 14 years old when yo a music shop ask the clerk anything new from USA bam Van Halen since then I ben running with the devil 😎

This record changed everything, Eddie Van Halen changed the way an electric guitar is played

Only 4 guitar players I have ever seen played quite like this and here is one of them. Incredible.

I want to say Fair Warning, but I can't. This is the ONE I would choose. Those 2 albums are so good, it would make me sad to lose either one.

One of the best

I'm a 36-year-old guitarist, vocalist and Ye fan and I'm listening to this album for the first time and I love it.

I remember discoving this at 11 yrs old, blew my little mind, I loved it... Best Van Halen song... I'm On Fire !

Summer ‘78 my friend said you have to hear this new band Van Halen. We jumped in his ‘67 Skylark and put the cassette tape in his Pioneer SuperTuner….They blew my 17 year old mind !!!!!

This 1st album instantly put Eddie on the all-time greatest guitarist list. Brilliant guitar on this album.

The pace and sonic quality of this album in this HQ format is epic. This is a one in a kind album, still super fresh sounding..

Best debut hardrock album by far. Ground Breaking. Still remember when i first heard it. Amazing.

I can't imagine life without Van Halen, for real😮!❤🔥🎸🥁🎤!

Eddie, Michael and Dave harmonized so well back then.
