The Professor of Rock is back with yet another Van Halen video, this time he polishes off five of the band’s hidden gems that deserve to not just be remembered but cherished and cranked up to the highest level.

“This week on our hidden gem series we’re gonna take a swing at one of the greatest bands in history and one of my personal favorites ever, if you can’t tell – the mighty Van Halen,” said the Professor. “It’s been over four months since we lost the great one – King Edward. It doesn’t get any easier but his genius lives on through the incredible music that he left us.”
