Van Halen 3: Was It Really That Bad?

by VHND — updated March 17, 2017 Leave a Comment

Van Halen III was released 19 years ago today. Here’s a new video review of the album, by “The Happy Spaceman.”

Sure, he gets a couple facts wrong (in his defense, most reviewers do!) and we sure don’t agree with everything he says. Nevertheless, his review is fairly entertaining. Was he too hard on the album? Do you agree or disagree with what he says about the three “Eras” of Van Halen?

His YouTube cannel states, “Extreme lead singer Gary Cherone teams up with hard rock pioneers Van Halen and acclaimed composer Mike Post for an experimental album? What could possibly go wrong?” Watch the review above.

  • bew5150 bew5150 I didn't call him anything. that is what Dave called him after the 2002 tour Debacle, when the little Red feller was smack talking Dave.

  • bew5150 bew5150 Not sure, I never watched them. I was LMAO when Dave called him that after 2002 tour debacle. which would be total irony, since he was saying he thought Dave was g@y on the 1978 tour they did...
