0058:VAN HALEN/5150

After DLR left the band, various names were mentioned as candidates to replace him as lead singer. Singers that Eddie tried to contact included Patty Smyth, Steve Perry, Ozzy Osbourne, and Eric Martin, as attested to by these individuals themselves. However, it was Sammy Hagar who was finally welcomed. He had already established his position as a solo rock singer, and the fusion of him and Van Halen had quite an impact at the time.
Naturally, the image of his predecessor remained strong, and there were many people who could not imagine Sammy singing Van Halen.
From this album, the band has welcomed Mick Jones of FOREIGNER as a producer instead of Ted Templeman.

However, this album was released as the 7th album, and it was No. 1 in the U.S. for the first time, and kept it for three weeks. The first album with Sammy became the band's first album to reach No. 1.
