Van Halen
In 1972 the legendary hard rock band known as Van Halen was born in Pasadena, California. From 1974 until 1989, the band consisted of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, vocalist David Lee Roth, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony. Later in 1985 Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth. The band later became famous stars, and in the early 1980s they were one of the most successful and popular rock acts of the time.
The album 1994 was their most famous one yet. Their best single, "Jump", became a worldwide hit and their only single to go number one on the Billboard 100. The songs "Panama" and "I'll Wait", both were on top number 13 on the United States charts. So back to what I stated in the beginning, in 1985, the band replaced lead singer David Lee Roth with now lead vocalist Sammy Hagar. While Sammy was the lead singer the group released four U.S. number one albums over a time of 11 years. Hagar left the band in 1996 right before the band released the first greatest hits collection. So Van Halen III was released in 1998, and thrived as an album. …show more content…
While they were reunited they released a second greatest hits collection the next year, The Best of Both Worlds. Hagar left Van Halen again in 2005, and in 2006 Roth came back as lead vocalist for their biggest tours of that year. Anthony was not asked to come in the tour and was fired from the band. Who was replaced by Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son. According to the RIAA, Van Halen has been said to be the 19th best selling band and artist in United States history. After selling 56 million albums in just the United States. They were also said to be at number 4 on the Billboard's top money makers list in 2013. Van Halen charted the most number one hits in the history of Rock and they’re one of the world's best selling bands of all
