Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' Bout Love (Live in 1977) Great Audio
Van Halen, an American rock and roll band formed in Pasadena, California way back in 1972. Restoring hard rock to the forefront of the music scene kicking disco to the dustbin of history along the way. Van Halen was known for its energetic live concert performances and for the virtuosity of its lead guitarist, Eddie Van Halen. They were inducted into the corrupt Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
From 1974 until 1985, Van Halen consisted of Eddie Van Halen; Eddie's brother, drummer Alex Van Halen; vocalist David Lee Roth; and bassist Michael Anthony. Upon its release in 1978, the band's self-titled debut album reached No. 19 on the Billboard pop music charts (Should have been #1 for a long time) and would sell over 10 million copies in the U.S. By the time 1982 arrived, the band released four more albums Van Halen II, Women and Children First, Fair Warning, and Diver Down, all of which kick total ass! By the early 1980s, Van Halen had become mega superstars. The album 1984 was a commercial success with U.S. sales of 10 million copies and four hit singles; its lead single, Jump, was the band's only U.S. number one single. (SMH)
In 1985, Roth left the band to embark on a solo career and was replaced by former Montrose lead vocalist Sammy Hagar. Hagar and the fellas released four U.S. number-one, multi-platinum albums over the course of 11 years 5150 in 1986, OU812 in 1988, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge in 1991, and Balance in 1995. Hagar left the band in 1996 shortly before the release of the band's first greatest hits collection. Former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone replaced Hagar and recorded the commercially unsuccessful album Van Halen III with the band in 1998, before parting ways in 1999. Van Halen then went on hiatus until reuniting with Hagar in 2003 for a worldwide tour in 2004 and the double-disc greatest hits collection The Best of Both Worlds. Hagar again left Van Halen in 2005. In 2006 Roth returned, but Anthony was replaced on bass guitar by Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen. AND THERE YOU HAVE ALL THE FRIGGIN DRAMA! In 2012, the band released their final studio album A Different Kind of Truth, which was commercially and critically successful; it was also Van Halen's first album with Roth in 28 years and the only one to feature Wolfgang.
As of March 2019, Van Halen is 20th on the RIAA list of best-selling artists in the United States; the band has sold 56 million albums in the States and more than 80 million worldwide, making them one of the best-selling groups of all time. As of 2007, Van Halen is one of only five rock bands with two studio albums to sell more than 10 million copies in the United States and is tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American band. Additionally, Van Halen has charted 13 number-one hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. VH1 ranked the band seventh on a list of the top 100 Hard Rock artists of all time.
Eddie was diagnosed with cancer in 2001, and unfortunately died of the disease on October 6, 2020. A month after his father's death, Wolfgang confirmed that Van Halen had disbanded. Their music will live on forever. I hope you enjoy my Rumble page.

The Eagles are an iconic American soft rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. With five number one singles and six number one albums, six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s in North America thanks to Joe Walsh. Founding members Glenn Frey (guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitars, vocals), and Randy Meisner (bass guitar, vocals) were recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her third solo album, before venturing out on their own on David Geffen's new Asylum Records label.
Their debut album, Eagles (1972), spawned two top-20 singles in the US and Canada: Take It Easy and Witchy Woman. The next year's follow-up album, Desperado, peaked at only number 41 in the US, although the song Desperado became a popular track. In 1974, guitarist Don Felder joined, and On the Border produced the top-40 hit Already Gone and the Eagles' first number-one song in the US and Canada, Best of My Love, which made the top 15 in Australia, their first hit overseas. In 1975, the album One of These Nights became their first number-one album in the US and a top-10 album in many countries. It included the US number-one hit One of These Nights, which was their first top-10 hit outside of North America, and US top-five songs Lyin' Eyes and Take It to the Limit. Also in 1975, guitarist and vocalist Joe Walsh replaced Leadon which added a much needed rock and roll element to the band!
Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) (1976) is the best-selling album in the United States, with 38 million sold, and primed the public for the late 1976 release of Hotel California, which would sell more than 26 million copies in the US (ranking third all-time for US sales), and more than 32 million copies worldwide. The album yielded two number-one singles in the US and Canada, "New Kid in Town" and "Hotel California", the latter of which became their only top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, while also reaching the top 10 in New Zealand and many European countries, including number two in France.
Meisner was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit in 1977. The Eagles released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in 1979 with The Long Run, spawning the North American number-one song Heartache Tonight, which became their biggest hit in Australia (number 13), and the North American top-10 hits The Long Run and I Can't Tell You Why. Those Aussie bugga’s really know how to rock! The Eagles broke up in 1980 but reunited in 1994 for the album Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks, and toured consistently. In 2007, the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden, their sixth number-one album in the US, and in 2008 launched the Long Road Out of Eden Tour. In 2013, they began the extended History of the Eagles Tour in conjunction with the documentary release, History of the Eagles. Following Frey's death in January 2016, the Eagles re-formed in 2017, with Glenn's son Deacon Frey and Vince Gill sharing lead vocals for Frey's songs prior to the former's departure in 2022.
The Eagles are one of the world's best-selling bands, having sold more than 200 million records, including 100 million sold in US alone. They were inducted into the meaningless Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

The Eagles are an iconic American soft rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. With five number one singles and six number one albums, six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s in North America thanks to Joe Walsh. Founding members Glenn Frey (guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon (guitars, vocals), and Randy Meisner (bass guitar, vocals) were recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her third solo album, before venturing out on their own on David Geffen's new Asylum Records label.
Their debut album, Eagles (1972), spawned two top-20 singles in the US and Canada: Take It Easy and Witchy Woman. The next year's follow-up album, Desperado, peaked at only number 41 in the US, although the song Desperado became a popular track.

Loverboy - Working For The Weekend (Live in Columbus, Ohio 1982) Soundboard
Loverboy is a fantastic Canadian rock band formed in 1979 in Calgary, Alberta. Loverboy's hit singles, particularly Turn Me Loose and Working for the Weekend, have become arena rock staples and are still heard to this day on many classic rock and classic hits radio stations across Canada and the United States. After being rejected by many American record labels, they signed with Columbia/CBS Records Canada and began recording their first album on March 20, 1980. Loverboy's founding members were lead singer Mike Reno (previously with Moxy as Mike Rynoski); guitarist Paul Dean (previously with Scrubbaloe Caine and Streetheart); keyboardist Doug Johnson; bassist Scott Smith; and drummer Matt Frenette. Throughout the 1980s, Loverboy accumulated numerous hit songs in Canada and the United States, earning four multi-platinum albums and selling millions of records. Except for a brief breakup from 1988 to 1991, the band has continued to perform live shows regularly. They are currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
According to Reno, their name was chosen due to a dream by Paul Dean. He had come up with the name after spending the previous night with some of the bandmates, including Reno and their girlfriends, before going to the movies. The girlfriends were browsing through fashion magazines, where the guys in the band saw a Cover Girl advertisement. Cover Girl became Cover Boy, and then became Loverboy in Dean's dream later that night. After being told by Dean about the dream the next morning, Reno agreed to try it out and it stuck. The group made its live debut opening for Kiss at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C. on November 19, 1979.
Originally rejected by all the major record labels in the United States, the band signed with Columbia Records of Canada, and on March 20, 1980, Loverboy went into the studio with producer Bruce Fairbairn and engineer Bob Rock to record what would be its self-titled debut album.
Over that summer, the record became a huge hit with eventually over one million records sold in Canada alone. The album made its American debut in November 1980, and would go on to sell over two million copies in the US. The band went on a touring spree that year putting on over 200 shows with bands such as Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas, and Def Leppard. Their debut single, Turn Me Loose, went on to hit No. 7 on the Canadian charts and No. 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981. The Kid Is Hot Tonight was also a single. Turn Me Loose easily could have been a number 1 song in any era!
The band's follow-up album, Get Lucky, released in October 1981 when it was opening for Journey, included the hit tracks Working for the Weekend, When It's Over and Lucky Ones. It became the group’s best selling album in the U.S., reaching No. 7 on the Billboard album charts and selling over four million copies. In the same year Loverboy received six Juno Awards (Canada's highest award for music) in one year, a record that still stands today. Loverboy released its third album, Keep It Up, in June 1983. Its first single "Hot Girls in Love" became their most successful to that date, reaching No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The video for the song as well as for the follow-up single Queen of the Broken Hearts were hugely popular on MTV, back when MTV was worth watching. Only lasted a few years.

The album made its American debut in November 1980, and would go on to sell over two million copies in the US. The band went on a touring spree that year putting on over 200 shows with bands such as Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas, and Def Leppard. Their debut single, Turn Me Loose, went on to hit No. 7 on the Canadian charts and No. 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981. The Kid Is Hot Tonight was also a single. Turn Me Loose easily could have been a number 1 song in any era!
The band's follow-up album, Get Lucky, released in October 1981 when it was opening for Journey, included the hit tracks Working for the Weekend, When It's Over and Lucky Ones. It became the group’s best selling album in the U.S., reaching No. 7 on the Billboard album charts and selling over four million copies. In the same year Loverboy received six Juno Awards (Canada's highest award for music) in one year, a record that still stands today. Loverboy released its third album, Keep It Up, in June 1983. Its first single "Hot Girls in Love" became their most successful to that date, reaching No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The video for the song as well as for the follow-up single Queen of the Broken Hearts were hugely popular on MTV, back when MTV was worth watching. Only lasted a few years.

Loverboy - The Kid Is Hot Tonight (Live in Columbus, Ohio 1982) Soundboard
Loverboy is a fantastic Canadian rock band formed in 1979 in Calgary, Alberta. Loverboy's hit singles, particularly Turn Me Loose and Working for the Weekend, have become arena rock staples and are still heard to this day on many classic rock and classic hits radio stations across Canada and the United States. After being rejected by many American record labels, they signed with Columbia/CBS Records Canada and began recording their first album on March 20, 1980. Loverboy's founding members were lead singer Mike Reno (previously with Moxy as Mike Rynoski); guitarist Paul Dean (previously with Scrubbaloe Caine and Streetheart); keyboardist Doug Johnson; bassist Scott Smith; and drummer Matt Frenette. Throughout the 1980s, Loverboy accumulated numerous hit songs in Canada and the United States, earning four multi-platinum albums and selling millions of records. Except for a brief breakup from 1988 to 1991, the band has continued to perform live shows regularly. They are currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
According to Reno, their name was chosen due to a dream by Paul Dean. He had come up with the name after spending the previous night with some of the bandmates, including Reno and their girlfriends, before going to the movies. The girlfriends were browsing through fashion magazines, where the guys in the band saw a Cover Girl advertisement. Cover Girl became Cover Boy, and then became Loverboy in Dean's dream later that night. After being told by Dean about the dream the next morning, Reno agreed to try it out and it stuck. The group made its live debut opening for Kiss at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C. on November 19, 1979.

Loverboy - Lady Of The 80’s (Live in Columbus, Ohio 1982) Soundboard
Loverboy is a fantastic Canadian rock band formed in 1979 in Calgary, Alberta. Loverboy's hit singles, particularly Turn Me Loose and Working for the Weekend, have become arena rock staples and are still heard to this day on many classic rock and classic hits radio stations across Canada and the United States. After being rejected by many American record labels, they signed with Columbia/CBS Records Canada and began recording their first album on March 20, 1980. Loverboy's founding members were lead singer Mike Reno (previously with Moxy as Mike Rynoski); guitarist Paul Dean (previously with Scrubbaloe Caine and Streetheart); keyboardist Doug Johnson; bassist Scott Smith; and drummer Matt Frenette. Throughout the 1980s, Loverboy accumulated numerous hit songs in Canada and the United States, earning four multi-platinum albums and selling millions of records. Except for a brief breakup from 1988 to 1991, the band has continued to perform live shows regularly. They are currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
According to Reno, their name was chosen due to a dream by Paul Dean. He had come up with the name after spending the previous night with some of the bandmates, including Reno and their girlfriends, before going to the movies. The girlfriends were browsing through fashion magazines, where the guys in the band saw a Cover Girl advertisement. Cover Girl became Cover Boy, and then became Loverboy in Dean's dream later that night. After being told by Dean about the dream the next morning, Reno agreed to try it out and it stuck. The group made its live debut opening for Kiss at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C. on November 19, 1979.
Originally rejected by all the major record labels in the United States, the band signed with Columbia Records of Canada, and on March 20, 1980, Loverboy went into the studio with producer Bruce Fairbairn and engineer Bob Rock to record what would be its self-titled debut album.
Over that summer, the record became a huge hit with eventually over one million records sold in Canada alone. The album made its American debut in November 1980, and would go on to sell over two million copies in the US. The band went on a touring spree that year putting on over 200 shows with bands such as Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas, and Def Leppard. Their debut single, Turn Me Loose, went on to hit No. 7 on the Canadian charts and No. 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981. The Kid Is Hot Tonight was also a single. Turn Me Loose easily could have been a number 1 song in any era!
The band's follow-up album, Get Lucky, released in October 1981 when it was opening for Journey, included the hit tracks Working for the Weekend, When It's Over and Lucky Ones. It became the group’s best selling album in the U.S., reaching No. 7 on the Billboard album charts and selling over four million copies. In the same year Loverboy received six Juno Awards (Canada's highest award for music) in one year, a record that still stands today. Loverboy released its third album, Keep It Up, in June 1983. Its first single "Hot Girls in Love" became their most successful to that date, reaching No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The video for the song as well as for the follow-up single Queen of the Broken Hearts were hugely popular on MTV, back when MTV was worth watching. Only lasted a few years.
