Yep, must mean we are getting up there too.

That's so true. I am!!!

All the bands I rocked to in the 80's....they are all in the 60's or more. James and Lars are 61 now. Those younger guys like Def Leppard are mid 60's. Ted is 75 and Sammy is 76 now!!!

The Van Halen II Story. This week, we go behind the scenes of Van Halen's explosive sophomore album, Van Halen II, recorded in a whirlwind of creativity and energy in just 10 days at Sunset Sound Recorders. From the party atmosphere that fueled the sessions to the band's innovative recording techniques, including Eddie Van Halen's development of the brown sound, and the quick, organic approach favored by producer Ted Templeman, we'll uncover the magic behind this hard rock masterpiece. We'll explore the stories behind iconic tracks like "Dance the Night Away," "Beautiful Girls," and "Somebody Get Me a Doctor," and how this album solidified Van Halen's place as rock legends. Featuring insights into the band's dynamic in 1979, including the roles of David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony, we'll see how their unique chemistry contributed to the album's success.
