One of the greatest Hard Rock bands ever, Van Halen have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, crowning their amazing career with their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of Rock guitar and Hard Rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over the top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a Metal singer to near-performance art standards with his wild flair for showmanship. Together, they made Van Halen into the most popular American Rock 'n' Roll band of the late '70s and early '80s, and in the process set the template for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal for the '80s and beyond. 36 tracks including cuts from the DLR years as well as later tracks with Sammy Hagar. Warner. 2007. Greatest-Hits-Scheiben von Van Halen gibt es mittlerweile so einige, aber die randvoll gepackte Doppel-CD The Best Of Both Worlds ist eindeutig der beste Einstieg in die schillernde Welt der Hardrock-Superstars -- und enthält als Sahnehäubchen auch noch drei nagelneue Songs.
Der Doppelpack deckt bis auf den missglückten Van Halen III-Versuch mit Ex-Extreme-Sänger Gary Cherone die komplette Karriere der Amerikaner ab. Von der auch nach 26 Jahren noch atemberaubenden "Eruption" bis zu den Balance-Highlights "Can´t Stop Lovin´ You" und "Not Enough" werden alle wichtigen Meilensteine eingesammelt und in remasterter Form aneinander gereiht. Neben sämtlichen wichtigen Singles der David-Lee-Roth- und Sammy-Hagar-Ära wie "Jump", "Panama", "Why Can´t This Be Love" oder "Poundcake" gibt es auch Albumperlen der Marke "Unchained", "Everybody Wants Some!" oder "Runaround" zu hören, und mit "Ain´t Talkin´ ´Bout Love", "Panama" und "Jump" werden noch drei Auszüge aus dem Live-Album Right Here, Right Now obendrauf gepackt. Dazu kommen mit dem rhythmisch vertrackten Groover "It´s About Time", dem gut gelaunten "Up For Breakfast" und der ruppigen Halbballade "Learning To See" drei taufrische, recht anständige Tracks der wiedervereinigten Hagar/Van-Halen/Van-Halen/Anthony-Besetzung. Ausführliche Liner-Notes und eine Diskographie runden diese wertige Kollektion ab. --Michael Rensen Country/Region of Manufacture: Deutschland Release Year: 2004 Tracks:
