Dvd in super jewelcase

Van Halen, one of USA biggest music acts ever, has released this dvd collection of 14 of the band’s chart-topping music videos. These videos bring back memories of younger glory days. From Jump to Finish What Ya Started, it all sounds good and reminds us all why Van Halen ruled the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000. The David Lee Roth material Jump, Panama and Hot for Teacher, Jump in particular — are 1980s video classics. It’s hard to believe there was so much animosity between Eddie Van Halen and Roth, because they seemed to be having a blast. Panama features on-stage and behind-the-scenes silliness and excess. Hot For Teacher includes frightened schoolboy Waldo, Van Halen’s child doubles, and bikini-clad teachers before the funny finale shows Alex Van Halen as a Beverly Hills gynecologist, Michael Anthony as a sumo wrestler, Eddie Van Halen as a mental-ward patient, and Roth as America’s favorite TV game-show host. The Hagar-era videos gradually get more sophisticated and less fun. The Hagar standouts are When It’s Love (set in a dark bar), the babe-loaded Poundcake, and the critically acclaimed, text-heavy Right Now, which won Best Video at MTV’s Video Music Awards in 1992. (Note that Dreams is not the Blue Angels stunt-jets version; it was recorded live in 1993 at the Whisky-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles.) Video Hits, Vol. 1 was originally released in 1996, but the DVD adds Without You with Extreme’s Gary Cherone at the helm during his brief stay as Van Halen’s frontman. Two rare videos missing from this collection are Unchained (filmed live in concert) and the cheesy yet fun (Oh) Pretty Woman. They should have been included. So whether you are a David Lee Roth fan, a Sammy Hagar fan or just maybe a Gary Cherone (formerly of Extreme) fan, you get it all in this dvd compilation. This is definitely the Best Of Both Worlds.
