I understand, in fact, I sympathize. Humiliated by Genoa and Cluj, Cluji as it's written? Who knows what will happen when decent teams arrive. And to think that the only good player you have, you've promised to Cobolli Gigli.

Meanwhile, that defensive line is on top of you and has thrown away 4 points, otherwise, they would be on full score. This year you will finish behind us, as it should be.

I read Runner, it's the only way. Anyway, yes, when it comes to Van Halen there's always a lot of fuss over nothing. The first album is untouchable for me; I don't even consider the others, artistically he died right there.

Come on, you can't tell me that Eruption reminds you of "Shadow Of The Hierophant." Maybe you’re not being serious :D

Aside from the fact that Hackett's tapping has absolutely nothing to do with Van Halen's, you just need to have two ears; but if we want to sound cultured about tapping, we either mention Emmett Chapman, who was doing it with two hands back in 1969, or we keep quiet, because otherwise we risk just making fools of ourselves.

It's clear that nowadays kids can listen to "Eruption" and maybe in hindsight say "shit." But do you have any idea what "Eruption" meant in 1978? The record ended up in the hands of David Gilmour who, in his own words, spent day and night trying to figure out whether it was really an electric guitar, and when he got confirmation, he spent day and night trying to play it the same way with one conclusion: I can't do it. "Eruption" sounds like an "Interstellar Overdrive"; it's a piece that, if it's the first time you listen to it, you can't date it and you certainly wouldn’t give it 30 years. I’m reminded of a scene from Back to the Future where, to prove he comes from the future, Michael J. Fox plays a piece recorded especially by Van Halen for his father, which mimics Eruption.

The release of "Van Halen" closes one era and opens another. For me, that's the album that ideally marks the end of the '70s and the beginning of the '80s, regardless of the fact that I am absolutely inclined toward the '70s—just browse through my comments or reviews to understand this. Automatically, all the bands following in the footsteps of Led Zeppelin are dated. Black Sabbath disband because at all their last shows, the opening act, Van Halen, kicks their ass every single night, as a certain Ozzy Osbourne once said, who, coincidentally, goes looking for someone like Randy Rhoads right after. I repeat, after the "Van Halen" album, there is a before and an after, regardless of its artistic value. And there are very few records for which we can talk about a before and an after.

for all the music that comes after him. For everyone who picked up a guitar after 1978. Speaking of influence, he's only behind Hendrix and Jeff Beck. Whether he's made crappy records, had reunions, or done various nonsense doesn't matter to me, but the self-titled album is untouchable. PS. I definitely know the Germs.

Spear: "Who isn't a fan of Eddie Van Halen? When that first record came out, I wanted to fucking kill myself! I said, I'm wasting my fuckin' time, aren't I?"

When Van Halen changed the way electric guitar was played in 1978, Smear was playing punk with his friends. The story with Nirvana is true, but Van Halen was drunk and for a long time Smear was convinced that Eddie Van Halen, one of his idols, hated him. Anyway, the story was made by Eddie, not Smear, let's not kid ourselves.
