The music world changed on February 10th, 1978 and it never was the same. The loud and ferocious tone of Eddie Van Halen influenced generations of new guitar players while also inspiring veteran players to change their sound. I heard this album 5 years later as an 8-year-old sneaking into my brothers’ room as my mother cleaned the house. When I heard the first song “Runnin With The Devil” my soul was captured and my musical journey went into overdrive. Please enjoy!
