As a belated birthday tribute for David Lee Roth, Bootleg Gold is dusting off its Van Halen collection and blasting them off this Friday!
Van Halen is popularly known to have reinvented hard rock by adding heavy metal elements to their sound. They broke the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what the electric guitar could do, developing a unique technique with tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked animal and machine sounds! Eddie’s wildly inventive guitar skills is equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards! Together, they made Van Halen the most popular American rock & roll band of the late '70s and early '80s, and set the template for what a great hard rock/heavy metal should be.
So dance the night away this Friday night (5pm-8pm) as we run with the devil and get sonically assaulted by the sounds the revolve around Van Halen! Featuring their best hits like Panama and Hots for Teacher, along with songs and covers from the artists they influenced and who influenced them!
So get unchained and jump! Van Halen is coming right at ya this Friday night only here on the Bootleg Gold.
