LABEL: RhinoRELEASE DATE: 03/31/2015VARIANT: 180g Black Vinyl LP
The guitar album upon which every other guitar album would soon be judged, its hard to overstate how revolutionary Van Halens self-titled debut LP sounded when it hit the hard rock scene like an atom bomb in 1978. The band delivered mammoth-sized grooves with mischievous grins, songs like Jamies Crying and Running with the Devil reveling in bad boy swagger and the carnival barker zaniness of livewire vocalist David Lee Roth. And then theres Eddie Van Halen, an uncaged guitar talent that wowed the world with his playing across the album and especially with his volcanically tap-crazed Eruption solo. A gamechanger that instantly made EVH an icon.
