Positive thinking cynic. Chicago. Van Halen. Phish. Snowboarding. Beer. Whiskey. Hot buttered toast.

April 29, 1981
Fair Warning,” the fourth studio album by Van Halen is released. While it garnered over two million sales, it marked the band’s slowest-selling album during David Lee Roth’s tenure. Notably, despite commercial setbacks, the album earned critical acclaim. This enduring work in Van Halen’s discography showcases the band’s artistic prowess and demonstrates that success isn’t solely measured by sales, but also by the lasting impact it leaves in the world of rock music.

@baseballcrank Good write up and yes King Edward was the driving force and DLR was the perfect phenom, but Hagar “unremarkable?” Sells the Red Rocker hugely short imo. Respectfully, sir.

That is of course the legendary (and yet woefully underappreciated) Bo Diddley, astride a 1957-59 Cushman Pacemaker or 1960 Cushman Allstate Jetstar/Jetsweep, posing for the cover of the 1960 album "Have Guitar Will Travel." Guitar: Bo's custom Gretsch G6138 "Twang Machine."
