Van Halen inspired and were a part of that disgusting hair metal scene of the 80's.
Actually, I think you mean to say that Dave Lee Roth did the above... Van Halen just happened to be the band he was in...
Van Halen were, and still are mighty... The number of guitaring techniques perfected by EVH alone would be enough, but then there's also the fact that they were an inspiration to most of the following metal bands, such as: Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Machine Head, Slayer, and so on... Plus, have you ever stood in front of a full stack Peavey EVH 5150 and turned it up to 10? *shivers* >;}
I do agree though, that they could have NOT followed DLR's 'hairstyling' tips, but you can't have everything...
