Thang 1: Running with the Devil

Van Halen Fact: They started out named The Broken Combs, later became The Space Brothers, The Trojan Rubber Company, and then Genesis. Upon finding out the latter name was already taken, they changed their name yet again to Mammoth. In 1978 – Eddie was just 23 years old when they released their debut, self-titled album. It had 11 songs and was only 35 minutes in length. The opening track was “Running with the Devil”

Thang 2: “Panama”

Van Halen Fact: Released in January 1984. This was the final full length album to feature the original members. This album produced the bands only #1 single on billboard – Jump. The kid on the cover was based on a famous Italian work of art called a “Putto”
