    As Sammy Hagar says.... Eddie VanHalen is the Greatest Rock and Roll Guitar Player ever !!

    One of my very first LPs if not the first one I ever owned was VanHalen's first album (debut album 1978).
    That album rocked !!
    There was not one single song on it that did not get played like a million times !



    'Running with the Devil' is the opening tune and what a tune it is !!
    Eruption is one there but not anything like the live version that dara posted above.
    Eruption is followed by 'Girl You Really Got Me' , which was a Kinks song.
    VanHalen mastered that song

    If you wanna hear the full album, check out the ytube link below

    RIP in peace Eddie
