The "It's Got What It Takes" vibe was Pepsi, not Dr Pepper. Nobody has ever adequately explained why he did this and why Van Halen's fans didn't storm the castle walls when he did. he turned Van Halen into a synth pop band. Could you imagine if Jimi Hendrix in his prime had done such a thing?! We can debate whether Eddie is Jimi's equal (he's not), but regardless, he's one of the greats. Ken from Philadelphia, PaVan Halen ceased to be Van Halen the day Eddie started writing songs on that darn keyboard instead of with a guitar in his hand because that is when he started putting those awful synthesizer melodies in the songs instead of guitar riffs.So, Ken from Philadelphia, maybe you need to listen to your Van Halen better. The opening track, “And the Cradle Will Rock.” has distinctive Wurlitzer keyboards used in the entire song. Matthew from Utica, Michigan Edward Van Halen was using keyboards on the 1980 ‘Women and Children First’ album.Anthony K from QueanbeyanHave you heard Devo 'girl you want, you'll be surprised.I remember Sammy bringing his wife and kid on stage and throughout the show Sammy was yelling 5150!! I've been to over 300 live concerts and these were, by far, the LOUDEST concerts I'd ever been to. Diverdriver from Northern CaliforniaI saw them on this tour 2 nights in a row at the Cow Palace, and yes BTO opened.I love the old stuff, but Hagar added a great deal to the band. Sammy was a professional, and added a rhythm guitarist. He was far from professional - constantly messing up lyrics, singing the wrong verse, or trying that lounge lizard trick of waiting a couple of beats then rushing the lyrics. Rick from Los AngelesDiamond Dave was fine on the albums, but a complete mess in concert.I saw them in concert and it was a concert I will NEVER forget!!! The bands more romantic side such as “Why Can’t This Be Love” “Dreams” and “Love Walks In.” David Lee Roth in Van Halen never related to women like the combination of Eddie and Sammy. Deb from TexasThe 5150 track included songs women could relate to.
