Damn now I feel old.
Luckily my brain doesn't.
I wondered into the Off Topic section tonight.
Just about lost my mind.
Thought I'd bring it back home.
This is pretty much where it all started for me.
Yeah LZ and yeah the Stones and yeah KISS
But this album probably affected me the most.

Van Halen 1 debuted 45 years ago today. What were you doing when you first heard 'Eruption' of 'Runnin with Devil'?

I seen VH before they made it big in the 1970's.... a year and a half later they were blowing away Black Sabbath ( seen them open for BS), Aerosmith, Journey and Ted Nugent.

Did the math
Realized I forgot
I had a recent birthday
I'm a year older than I thought
Thanks 311
Abandon all hope
Ye who enter OT

My dad took me to see my first concert, it was Black Sabbath when I was 12. I had no clue the opening band was Van Halen. Let’s face it, I was 12… Life changing moment for me…
