Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what the electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over the top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards. Roth wasn&#8217;t blessed with great technique, unlike Eddie, but he had a flair for showmanship derived as much from lounge performers as Robert Plant. Together, they made Van Halen into the most popular American rock &amp; roll band of the late &#8217;70s and early &#8217;80s, and in the process set the template for hard rock and heavy metal for the &#8217;80s.&#8221; &#8211; All Music<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now is your chance to own a Heavy Metal classic!
