After years of gigging everywhere from suburban backyards to dive bars, Van Halen â led by frontman extraordinaire David Lee Roth and guitar virtuoso Edward Van Halen â had the songs, the swagger, and the talent to turn the rock world on its ear. The quartetâs classic 1978 debut, Van Halen, sold more than a million copies within months of release and rocketed the band to the stratosphere of rock success.
