This Day In Hard Rock:  Van Halen Releases ‘5150’

By Adam Waldman March 24th is the date that marked the official Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen. In 1985, Van Halen was “on top of the world.”  With six albums under their belt, including the extremely successful 1984, it seemed that the band was untouchable.  That was until they parted ways with their charismatic […]

Written by Nathan Colucci (The BallRoom Babies) It all started in the backseat of my dad’s two-door, 1994 Ford Escort.  It was painted a bright neon green, so you could find it anywhere in a huge parking lot.  For a little car, this thing had some major pep.  Best of all, it had a stereo […]
