Van Halen
Once again, a band with a best. Everyone says that this is one of the greatest guitarist in the whole world, Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen is an American rock band who have been one of the most successful bands in history. With over 80 million albums sold, they have had the most number 1 hits in the Billboard mainstream rock chart. The members include Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, Wolfgang Van Halen, and David Lee Roth. Haha, you can see why they call themselves Van Halen. I first heard of this band when I got my first ipod. I was just barely starting to get into music back then, and I wanted my mom to recomend some band. The first three bands she said were Tom Petty, The Cars, and Van Halen. The only band that I already knew was Tom Petty so I asked her who Van Halen and The Cars were. She thought that I should decide for myself and she put some of their songs on my ipod. My first Van Halen song was “Jump”. I really liked it. Then I decided to try “Hang ‘Em High”. I also really liked that one too. I was glad that my mom introduced me to Van Halen, they are now one of my favorite bands.
Most kids these days in the States don’t like bands like Van Halen, Tom Petty, U2, The Cars, etc. Usually they like bands like Green Day, Switchfoot, My Chemical Romaance, and other bands like that. Don’t get me wrong, those bands can rock. All I’m saying is that those are the only bands that I hear whenever I visit my friends’ house in the states. There is a lot more Artists out there, and countless songs. No one has heard every song in the world. Van Halen is considered one of the best bands in the world, and thatis a big honor considering how many are out there, famous or not. Well, I guess I better be going now. I have to try out another band that my mom reccomended to me called SuperTramp. Maybe I’ll like them and maybe I won’t, but at least I tried them. See you!
