Game Changers: Van Halen I!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

Game Changers, in the eyes of the Imbalanced Brothers, are the albums, people, events, and things that changed the game, the music business, or how we view the whole damn thing!

Nothing happens in a vacuum, and the rise and trajectory of Van Halen is no different. They had great managers, and label people guiding them on their way, and a major early supporter in Gene Simmons!

Friends and family, and especially fans, showed them that their loud, boisterous music, and Dave's outlandish antics, were right on time for 1978!

Markus and Ray talk about the impact of the band, this amazing debut record, "Uncle Ted" and Starwood, and those killer songs, track by track!!!
