Free Music Notes for Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1
Free Music Review: Rushed out, missing many fan and radio favorites, but I do like the 2 new Dave songs.
Hit: 3 Stars
And for that Brief moment, will the reunion happen...nope, and in slide former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone. Yes, this single disc greatest hits is missing so much, and I always wondered, where is Volume 2? This album is Heavily Sammy, despite the 2 new tracks. It does miss so many of the classics as other reviewers have said. The newer Best of Both Worlds does make for a much more complete hits collection, but this cd is a mush have just for the fact of the 2 new David lee roth songs...what could have been. Oh well, i'll take what i can get, another unfortunate event in the wacky saga that in Van Halen. And how did they outdue the mess surrounding this album...Van Halen 3..wow. Overall, this CD is for a Van Halen Fan collection, but not nessecary for a regular collection, not a must need greatest hits collection.Free Music Review: Why Buy It?
Hit: 2 Stars
I won't buy anything with Van Hagar on it. While this CD has a bunch of actual Van Halen songs, there's way too much of that dork Sammy on it. Not only that, but too many great classics are missing. I will just continue to collect the original albums. Forget the best ofs anyway. They always suck.
Van Hagar is not Van Halen and will never be. I can't believe any self respecting Van Halen fan would fail to realize that.
Free Music Review: 4.5
Hit: 4 Stars
Van Halen is an incredible band and this album covers some of their best music. SOME. The bad part of this compilation is it's missing some of the other and earlier hits like
Jamie's Crying,
Runnin' With The Devil,
You Really Got Me,
Best of Both Worlds,
and a bunch of others. It's a great album if you're just getting into Van Halen, but the fact that Volume 2 never came out i suggest you get "The Best of Both Worlds". Or better yet, buy the 11 other albums and create your own compilation. Still, this is a great buy. Van Halen ROCKS!
Free Music Review: Beck Didn't Mind
Hit: 5 Stars
As we all sadly know, DLR was ousted from the Van Halen reunion when he "stole the show" from Beck at some MTV function. Eddie Van Halen found this incident to be absolutely rude and therefore he kicked DLR out of the band, again. Fortunately for us two songs were recorded during their brief reunion and are included on this album.
"Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More" are better than 90% of anything Van Haggar ever did. This greatest hits is much better than "Best of Both Worlds" because it is more David Lee Roth oriented and we all know that DLR was Van Halen (despite the band's name).
Do yourself a favor and buy this album.
Free Music Review: That "Banned & Censored" guy is a loser!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Ok, I'm sorry that I will not be able to comment on the album, even though Van Halen is a kick*ss band and have great songs back when rock was rock. But the guy a few reviews below me came on here to bash David Lee Roth, calling him Gayvid Lee Roth. First of all, he was only in the band half the time, and second of all, I saw B&C's other reviews. He gave a Beyonce CD five stars and an American Idol CD 5 stars. He also gave an NSYNC, yes NSYNC, album 5 stars. He dissed Pink FLoyd, Sex Pistols, Judas Preist, and Queen, but he recommended Britney Spears, Fantasia and Carrie Underwood. What a qu**r! Buddy, don't come on here and diss a hard rock band when you listen to NSYNC and watch American Idol. Leave it up to rock fans to do that. If you agree with what I said and think that dude's a pansy, say the review helped you.
