The Van Halen early years are some of the most important as far as rock evolution goes and the change in the face of heavy metal and guitar playing as we knew it. Eddie Van Halen re-invented the guitar (quote by Frank Zappa). Therefore most of this DVD is useless as it doesn't cover the main drive behind the band, the guitar. I also found it disappointing that each time the DVD looked as if it was going to show some guitar ripping it just cut off. Therefore this can only be described as a gimmick and a rip off to the fans. The backing music is also an insult to the band cause it ain't as good as the music of the band. 'Ain't Talking about Love', 'Atomic Punk', 'Somebody get me a Doctor', 'Your no Good', and on and on and on. Therefore the makers of this DVD only did it to make money for themselves and have ripped off the band. Unfortunatly the only way at least at the moment the fans can get a real taste of the early Van Halen years is to listen/watch bootleg recordings.
