Here was one of your so-called classic “hair metal” bands that not only put out some seriously awesome guitar-slaying jams but did it with a sort of tongue-in-cheek self-awareness that made them truly memorable, thanks to the goofball antics of frontman David Lee Roth. While guitarist Eddie Van Halen was busy creating some of the greatest riffs in rockdom, Roth was the showman, keeping the masses entertained and singing along.
