Music reviews of 1984
Music Review: His guitar technique
Rating: 5 Stars
This is such a special album. I have never gotten tired of it, after 25 years. When I look at the score itself, it looks kind of easy to play. But trying to get my guitar playing to sound like Eddie's is a whole different story. He's a master musician for a reason. Too bad Van Halen didn't produce more albums like this.
Description of 1984
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2008.1984 was a successful record not only because it contained solid, catchy hard rock, but also because it incorporated synthesizers into the mix, the first metal album to do so to any serious extent. Although the advances in electronic music make this material sound dated now, it's still a highlight of Van Halen's career. Songs like "Jump" contain a pop element that gave 1984 mainstream appeal, and David Lee Roth turned the frontman role into an art form on songs such as "Panama," "Hot for Teacher," "Drop Dead Legs," and "I'll Wait." To a large extent, it was 1984 that set the standard for '80s pop metal, and David Lee Roth who set the standard (or takes the blame, depending on your point of view) for the aggressively good-time attitude most pop-metal bands took for their own. --Genevieve Williams
