Friday, June 14: Van Halen, "On Fire"

R.I.P. Edward Van Halen (1955-2020)

Van Halen’s first record was one of the select few in recorded history that functioned as a ready-made greatest hits album: after a solid four years of backyard gigs and ruling the Sunset Strip, Van Halen was the sound of four locked-in dudes who knew exactly what they were aiming for and were fully formed as an entity.  There was not a single wasted moment, and Ted Templeman’s production was full-on lightning in a bottle magic- these songs didn’t so much play as burst out of speakers, so much so that even a presumable throwaway like “On Fire” roared with the lifeforce of 3,000 parties.  David Lee Roth caterwauled more than sang, but his antics were in full lockstep with Eddie Van Halen’s monumental riffing, shredding and squealing- over 45 years later, there is still something shocking about all of this.  And while Alex Van Halen would get more adventurous as a drummer soon enough, he was in perfect sync with his brother and Michael Anthony’s steady bass.  There was way too much life in here to be contained, which likely explained why “On Fire” was less a song and more of an explosion.

3 years ago today, for me the music died for this one day, I couldn’t listen to any, couldn’t think of any, it was a sad one around the world as we learned of losing EVH!!

King Edward will reign forever, there is no throne to be passed on, this one he molded and built, long live Edward!!
