Eddie Van Halen was a master on the guitar while frontman David Lee Roth was ecstatic on the vocals. Van Halen’s early days saw the group write some awesome radio songs and make fans think differently about the color of M&M’s.

All hell broke loose when Lee Roth got the boot for Sammy Hagar. Outside of the short-lived soap opera, today, the band consists of Eddie, his brother Alex, son Wolfgang with Lee Roth back on the mic. It’s no surprise that the next group ahead were well known for their face paint and stage outfits.
