Music reviews of Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1
Music Review: Good compilation album, but am I the only listener who noticed THIS??
Rating: 3 Stars
When I got to the track 'Runnin' With The Devil', I was like - what?? This IS NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE SONG as found on Van Halen's first album!
It's the same song all right, but somebody (whether it was the band, or some other idiots) decided to rearrange sections of the song and then put it together differently. I was listening to this and had to double check the fact I wasn't drunk or on drugs or dreaming.... Again, I have read most of the reviews and I cannot believe nobody had mentioned this, especially all the Roth-era fanatics...what a slap in the face!
I hate to go on about this, but whoever thought changing the dynamics of that song was a 'good idea' is a complete idiot. And to think there are probably thousands of just casual Van Halen fans that only have this greatest hits album and have come to know 'Runnin With the Devil' as the way it sounds on here... It sounds terrible, and that is not how the song is originally!!
Other than that total flop, the rest of the compilation is good, especially the wonderful 'Humans Being' track made for the Twister movie, and the two new (at the time) Roth-era recordings.
I am appalled at how 'Runnin With the Devil' was just butchered and put back together like an incorrect jig-saw puzzle. WHAT MORONS WERE BEHIND THIS?? VAN HALEN - do you even know about this? And if so, WHY? WHY??
Description of Best of Van Halen, Vol. 1
Japanese pressing of Van Halen's single disc Best Of Vol. 1 (originally released in 1996) featuring one bonus track: 'Hot For Teacher'. This was the compilation that essentially brought Van Halen to a close when the band drafted in original vocalist David Lee Roth to record two new tracks. This reunion was short-lived but it was enough to anger then-current vocalist Sammy Hagar into leaving the band. Hagar did tour with the band in 2004, but they've never recovered from the firestorm that this release sparked! 18 tracks. Warner. 2007.It took over 20 years for Van Halen to release a Best of album, and even then, the band downplayed the effort. Instead sticking to the original plan of releasing a two-disc set--one of material with original frontman David Lee Roth, and the other with his 11-year replacement Sammy Hagar--the band opted for a single CD chronicling their entire career. For the previously uninitiated, it's a golden introduction to a band that changed the face of '80s hard rock. Guitar-blazing old tracks like "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," and "Dance the Night Away" segue into more commercial numbers like "Jump" and "Panama" from 1984. These in turn, set the stage for Hagar's slicker, more polished vocals on "Right Now" and "How Do I Know When It's Love." But while newcomers will be thrilled with the delights within, old fans will probably find little of use, since the two highly touted new tracks with Roth are pretty disposable. --Jon Wiederhorn
