80s VANHALEN MEMEs
Van Halen in the early 80s. What a great sentence. It conjures up images of giant rock concerts, giant rock egos, a superstar guitar player, an over the top frontman, a bass player (sorry Anthony).

Eddie Van Halen |
Did you know that when they were young Eddie was the drummer in the family and Alex played guitar!
|
Eddie played drums! |
|
Now he plays guitar |
|
Sometimes he plays too hard |
|
He plays with passion |
Apparently the band's first name was Genesis ... but, when they realized that name was taken (and that band became pretty famous) they chose Mammoth! That didn't last long before they switched to Van Halen (boy was David Lee Roth mad about that. He wanted the band to be named the Roths).
Apparently, Roth's Father was a prominent eye doctor who was wealthy enough to be featured on that show Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous...no joke.
Poor Roth had it bad...or didn't have it bad...
