It took over 20 years for Van Halen to release a Best of album, and even then, the band downplayed the effort. Instead sticking to the original plan of releasing a two-disc set--one of material with original frontman David Lee Roth, and the other with his 11-year replacement Sammy Hagar--the band opted for a single CD chronicling their entire career. For the previously uninitiated, it's a golden introduction to a band that changed the face of '80s hard rock. Guitar-blazing old tracks like "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," and "Dance the Night Away" segue into more commercial numbers like "Jump" and "Panama" from 1984. These in turn, set the stage for Hagar's slicker, more polished vocals on "Right Now" and "How Do I Know When It's Love." But while newcomers will be thrilled with the delights within, old fans will probably find little of use, since the two highly touted new tracks with Roth are pretty disposable. --Jon Wiederhorn

good collcetion of classics.......2007-07-20

best of van halen volume 1 is a good collection of classics. you have the davidlee roth era wirh jump, you really got me,panama,and ain't talkin 'bout love. you have thesammy hagar era with why can't this be love,dreams,and when it's love.they also have 2 new songs with david lee roth.i like tis album a lot. ed wilson

Not my music........2007-03-10

I couldn't tell one song from the next. Baby, Baby was popular.

Rushed out, missing many fan and radio favorites, but I do like the 2 new Dave songs........2007-02-07

And for that Brief moment, will the reunion happen...nope, and in slide former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone. Yes, this single disc greatest hits is missing so much, and I always wondered, where is Volume 2? This album is Heavily Sammy, despite the 2 new tracks. It does miss so many of the classics as other reviewers have said. The newer Best of Both Worlds does make for a much more complete hits collection, but this cd is a mush have just for the fact of the 2 new David lee roth songs...what could have been. Oh well, i'll take what i can get, another unfortunate event in the wacky saga that in Van Halen. And how did they outdue the mess surrounding this album...Van Halen 3..wow. Overall, this CD is for a Van Halen Fan collection, but not nessecary for a regular collection, not a must need greatest hits collection.

Why Buy It? .......2006-10-02

I won't buy anything with Van Hagar on it. While this CD has a bunch of actual Van Halen songs, there's way too much of that dork Sammy on it. Not only that, but too many great classics are missing. I will just continue to collect the original albums. Forget the best ofs anyway. They always suck.

Van Hagar is not Van Halen and will never be. I can't believe any self respecting Van Halen fan would fail to realize that.

4.5.......2006-07-01

Van Halen is an incredible band and this album covers some of their best music. SOME. The bad part of this compilation is it's missing some of the other and earlier hits like

Jamie's Crying,
Runnin' With The Devil,
You Really Got Me,
Best of Both Worlds,

and a bunch of others. It's a great album if you're just getting into Van Halen, but the fact that Volume 2 never came out i suggest you get "The Best of Both Worlds". Or better yet, buy the 11 other albums and create your own compilation. Still, this is a great buy. Van Halen ROCKS!

Customer Reviews:

what this set did for me!.......2007-07-24

I couldn't argue with those who find fault with this set, as those people make very good points against buying this. However, having bought this set before any of their other CDs (except ZOSO), I can say that this did for me exactly what Jimmy Page knew that it would: It made me want more Zeppelin! I went from these to both Box Sets, and from there to purchasing all the single album CDs.

So, is this set part of a plan to 'trap' people into becoming fanatics? Maybe not, but that's how it worked out for me. I hardly ever pull out these disks now to listen to Zep, but they served their purpose and I'm glad that I bought them! I dare anyone who is new to Zep to buy these and NOT want more of them! Zeppelin is the BEST!!!

Good stuff, not the greatest.......2007-07-11

This is a tough one to review. Zepplin was indisputably a great band, and I'm a fan, so it would seem natural to just give it a 5. But I don't quite feel this collection enough for that. The good songs on this collection are awesome, some of the best rock from the 70s for sure. These guys had great talent and great music and lyrics. However, the collection's not as complete as it could be and some of the chosen songs are lesser-knowns that are kind of long. The songs that are longer kind of slow things down and gets a little tedious at times. The Zepplin fan should get this collection as a way to have a bunch of the really good tunes in one location, that's the chief strength here.

Early Days, Better Days.......2007-07-05

Was impressed with the album. Was missing a few songs that I really wanted, but over all, it was worth my money.

A nice concise jolt of Zeppelin.......2007-03-23

I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but.....I couldn't. Because.....

I have to first agree with the reviewer who commented about Heartbreaker, Livin' Lovin' Maid, and Misty Mountain Hop being excluded from this set. I felt similarly about those songs, as well as Thank You, which, as obscure as it was, I have always counted as one of my favorites.
But, on the other side of the coin, when do we ever find a greatest hits compilation that has each and every song we want? Never.
That said, I went and bought this CD because my young son is very much into drumming and is now becoming familiar with great rock drummers. So I knew he had to get to know Bonzo, and when I saw this in the store I grabbed it up because it had a really good lineup. When we popped it into the dashboard on the way home - wow - we both really enjoyed it, he was air drumming in the back seat like a lunatic and I was just thoroughly enjoying one song after another. If it included the above songs, it would be a true stairway to heaven for me. This set is great, highly recommend it.

Great for introduction to Zeppelin.......2006-08-10

The Early Days, were the introduction to Led Zeppelin for me. The Latter Days came shortly after. The reason I say these two albums are great (especially the first of the two) is how well they introduced someone to the band. The Early Days, when I first got it, I realized every single song on the CD was an absolute masterpiece and within a week, Zeppelin had surpassed GNR on my favourite all-time band. The complete studio albums came soon after.

I understand why an older fan of Led Zeppelin would be disappointed with this; it misses a few major hits such as Ramble On, Heartbreaker, Over the Hills and Far Away, and The Rain Song (these songs could have still fit onto the two albums without passing the 80-minute CD limit). However, I find this almost a good thing, because it led me to not end up disappointed when getting their studio albums, realizing that there were even more masterpieces than just the ones on the greatest hits, for example: the ones listed above, Living Loving Maid, Tangerine, and all the remaining songs on the fourth album.

With such little new music as great as once was, it's becoming more necessary for younger music-listeners such as me, to look into classic rock like Zeppelin. There was no greater way than by getting the Early Days and the Latter Days.

And, how much better to have all the songs in their albums' order on a greatest hits compilation, yet to still have it end on the uncomparible Stairway to Heaven. Great job.

The title of White Zombie's first mainstream success promises some good, trashy fun, and boy does this album deliver. White Zombie is not a nihilistic, the-world-is-rotten heavy metal band; on the contrary, one doubts that they're in danger of taking anything too seriously, and the humor is audible in every riff. La Sexorcisto is rife with distorted guitars, snippets of dialogue from horror movies, and songs about fast cars ("Black Sunshine"), loose women ("Grindhouse (A-Go-Go)"), and the generally weird. Don't think about it too hard; sit back, relax, pop a cool one and crank up the stereo until it shakes your ceiling. -- Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

The last thing Rob did that had balls...........2007-06-17

A lot of people think that this album is inferior to Astro Creep. I guess I would agree with that if I liked whiny vocals and techno/industrial beats, but I don't. La Sexorcisto is such a great album because it was one of the first metal cds that had groove and that made you want to get in a mosh pit and hurt someone. The band actually sounds like a band on this cd, and Rob sounded like some big bearded biker that you didn't want to mess with. He went from sounding like that to doing some fake whiny manufactured voice on the rest of output, starting with Astro Creep. Also, John Tempesta, while being techically a better drummer than Ivan DePrume lacks the feel and creativity that Ivan had on La Sexorcisto. This is probably not his fault since i'm sure Rob had the final word on most of the drum beats. All in all, I think Rob should have stuck with what he did best... grooving metal with some damn balls. I do like his movies though. Devil's Rejects was one of the best horror movies i've ever seen.

not exactly the best..........2007-06-05

i LOVE R. ZOmbie's solo work so i thought for sure this would get my rocks off...WRONG! thunderkiss 65 and black sunshine are awesome songs but the other songs are filler material. skip this disc and get R. ZOmbie past, present and future cd.

Rob's major label debut........2007-05-14

I love everything that Rob Zombie has done, but the White Zombie years were special. To everyone who likes his solo stuff, but maybe isn't familiar with the old school Zombie, do yourself a favor and check them out. Classic songs, great riffs, and monster fun. "Thunderkiss '65" is one of the best metal songs of the 90s.

Great.......2007-05-10

Great album! Is my favorite white zombie; have had since I was twelve! I had to purchase another copy because mine was destroyed when i took it to work.

OK.......2007-02-15

I do not know what it is about AMERICAN BAND. It is like FORD or CHEVY vs BMW or TOYOTA. Something is missing....its get bored after all. Not to mention from the start, it does not have that exciting refreshing kick to it. UK bands and Scandinavian bands some how GETS IT.

Having previously released no less than four boxed repackages of their studio output, Led Zeppelin may well be the band who made redundancy redundant. Well, surprise! They've done it again. Culled from the band's first four albums by Jimmy Page himself (as if a fourth-grader with an FM radio would have been hard-pressed), this collection captures Page and company's blues-riff-ripping prime, relieved only by the folksy "Battle of Evermore" and the song that made Skynyrd's "Free Bird" (almost) tolerable, the ubiquitous "Stairway to Heaven." Strung end-to-end, this is pretty heady stuff, and a great introduction to Zep's core early work for anyone who's spent the last couple of decades hangin' with Gilligan and the Skipper. The rest of us may just grumble and fast-forward to the previously unreleased 1969 live video clip of "Communication Breakdown." The package includes a 24-page booklet with many rare photos. -Jerry McCulley

Early Days.......2006-07-19

"In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man, now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can" (Led Zeppelin). These are the first two lines in the song "Good Times Bad Times" By Led Zeppelin. The group's CD, Early Days introduced this song as it's first on the CD. This CD basically gathers what the band thought their favorite beginning tracks were and summed it all up in one CD. Atlantic Records is the recording studio that produced this CD. The CD came out in November of 2002 and is still one of my favorites until this day. The CD was $25 when I first bought it, but it had a special feature of coming with their CD Latter Days. On this day, there had been a total of one million copies sold and are ranked at 2,582 on the selling list. There aren't any hidden tracks, but they are a very well known band to everyone.
The artists had previously released 12 other albums consisting of these songs in them. They chose to make this album "Early Days" because the songs were all highly liked songs. The artist always keeps a hard rock genre to their songs. This album doesn't change anything from their past, but still brings a huge audience to its liking. "Led Zeppelin may well be the band who made redundancy redundant" (Jerry McGulley). Jerry wrote an editorial review for this CD and stated that Led Zeppelin can definitely pull off a repeat of songs on a new CD. I agree with Jerry because they are an old band that shows the people that just newly started listening to the CD what the older Led Zeppelin songs were like and if they are true fanatics, they should enjoy these songs too.
This CD definitely is a great one! It really makes me relax and I feel like almost all of the songs on the album distract me from my thoughts. I know this sounds bad, but it's a good thing. It helps me to take the stress off of what my real days in my life are and lets me focus on the different instruments and vocals in the songs. Of course, after I hear the CD once, I can't help but wanting to listen to it over and over again. I feel a force just pulling me in to want to reattach to the CD and listen to every word in every song again. Even though the band is unique, in a weird way, I think the band relates to the Beatles. Back then, a lot of the bands talked about drugs because they were doing them. I know that the Beatles definitely wrote songs about drugs as did Led Zeppelin. The CD may be same as ever, but in my mind, this definitely works. I believe it does because as a true Led Zeppelin fanatic, you can never get sick of any of their songs even the early ones. Every huge fan has to know all the songs by the artist in order to get the real characteristics of the band.
With all the great tracks on this CD, five of them are my favorite. Track number two, "Babe I'm gonna leave you" has many qualities that are interesting. The background guitar and the singing really got my attention because the beginning of the song, there's only the guitar and singing bringing attention to them. "We gonna go walkin' through the park every day. Come what may, every day" (Led Zeppelin). This quote shows that the singer has feelings for someone which reminds me of the feelings that I have for someone. "Dazed and Confused" which is track number 3 is also a much loved track of mine. Because of the rhythm that the song creates, it gives much relaxation to the listener. The lyrics tell of the struggle that one may go through which opens my mind to thinking about all the struggles everyone goes through. "I don't know but I been told, a big-legged woman ain't got no soul" (Led Zeppelin). This quote comes from track nine, "Black Dog". This example of humor is a main reason why I enjoy this song because it takes me back to a time and place and reminds me of my old boss. The different instrumental parts stand out to me especially the guitar parts. My most favorite song on this CD is "Stairway to Heaven". I've always liked this song for some reason and now I know it's because it was fate that I was going to propose to my fiancé while this song played in the background. "Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run there's still time to change the road you're on" (Led Zeppelin). Everyone always has a decision to make so this quote embodies every day life and the decisions that you have to make.
Even though I love this CD, I have to admit that one song doesn't work in my opinion. I don't think it does because it doesn't seem to keep that same genre as the other songs on the CD. The track number is 11 and it's called "The Battle of Evermore". "Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight and time will tell us all" (Led Zeppelin). This line especially doesn't seem like it talks about anything significant. The lyrics don't make sense to me because they seem kind of out there. They don't seem to explain anything or go anywhere. Also, in my opinion, I don't see this song as a hard rock one like the band is supposed to be. The song seems too high pitched with their voices. Not only that, but the background guitar seems like it should be played down an octave or two. I like to hear bass and in this song, there isn't any. The guitar in this song is just very unusual because of how high they played it. At some points, in my eyes, they seem like they may have missed a note singing or so because it doesn't always flow. The other songs on the CD keep that hard rock theme to them even if they slow down, but with this one, the song just seems like they slapped it together. I know others may disagree with me, but that's what I notice.
I basically only see older men ever buying this CD because of how old the songs were. They had been from the 1960s so older men would know them. I believe the fans, like me, were very happy when this CD came out because it high lighted many great songs they had when they first began as Led Zeppelin. If I had to give this CD a rating out of ten, it would definitely be an eleven! "IT BASICALLY GIVES YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE ORIGINAL 4" (foolishmortal12). This guy knows what the CD is all about and since Led Zeppelin changed, the CD shows how the four started off. The band has been here for many years and I believe they will always be here to stay. I don't think Led Zeppelin could ever die because people keep listening and start liking them right away. I think they will always be the hard rock band that they started off as, but I think they will always work harder to be the band they started out to be. "And she's buying a stairway to heaven" (Led Zeppelin).

Most of the metal bands of the eighties owe big time to The Zep.......2006-05-26

They were the hottest thing around at the time. If you didn't like the Beatles, Dave Clark Five, or Peter Frampton you worshipped Led Zepplin. This CD has most of their monster hits on it. And it's fine for people who just want a sample of The Zep's unlimited talent. Enjoy!

Early days my favorite of the two best of Led Zeppelin CD's.......2006-05-18

Obviously the guy who wrote the below review is a liar. He probably only started listening to Led Zep because he saw a bunch of people starting to get back into Rock as it used to be. I wouldn't doubt it if the guy saw the tracks downloaded them and decided that they sucked. Then he looked up information on them and said that they were his ideas seeing as how he states that this is the first time he started listening to Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Paige who should be a guitarist's idol. Seeing as how he is a God amongst men when he's behind a guitar. Check out the Led Zeppelin DVD that has an acoustic set playing the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Going to California and Thats the Way, best acoustic playing one will ever see ever. So in conclusion i believe that this is the better of the two CD's but the other CD has Achilles last stand and Kashmir on it so Pick that one up too.

back when I was in Led Zeppelin I used to........... ....... ... .. ........2006-03-24

Only 13 songs? What the? Most of the songs are good but I don't care for What is and what... and Whole lotta love because they're just way too long. Other then that I really enjoy the rest of the cd. You get some rockin' good songs, some great blues songs and some good ol' folk music. The booklette comes with pictures in a timeline sequence starting from their earlier days on stage to their later days. The cd also has the band playing communication breakdown, which you can watch on your computer or anyboy else's computer for that matter. There might not be many songs so I would suggest that only new fans get this cd.

This Album Kicks Assss.......2005-12-01

i love Led Zeppelin and if you are wondering if you should buy this CD i would but it in a second!! This CD shows the goods of this very influencial band's early years together. From classics like Stairway To Heaven and The Battle Of Evermore this CD is one of my favorites!!!!! LED ZEPPELIN LIVES ON!!!!!!!

Adrenaline Rush? Not So!.......2007-07-28

Now I am a big wrestling fan and I watch as much as I can! But what I really love is the music that they play. But Tna released 3rd Degree Burns, I was extremely disappointed.

The CD contains 22 tracks, which is a decent amount of music compared to WWE. But the problem is there are about eight tracks on the CD that are worthy of even being called good! The good thing was that they had the song Adrenaline Rush, which is probably the most played song on the CD for me and everyone else who bought it. It is that poor of a CD. Heck you can't even get it on iTunes; that's how bad it is!

If you are looking for a great wrestling CD, look somewhere else, but if you really want to listen to the music of TNA either watch the show and listen or find someone who has the CD already and have it burned, but don't but it.

TNA Wrestling: 3rd Degree Burns gets 3 stars out of 5.

My name is Amone. Adios!

A decent effort...........2006-12-25

A decent to somewhat good CD from TNA wrestling, the prequel tracks 1, 4, 8, 11, 14, 20, are okay. The best are Track 2: Sting, Track 5: Samoa Joe, Track 10: AJ Styles and Track 21: Christian Cage.
The rest of the tracks are okay, with the exception of Track 6: Christy Hemme-Society Box, which isn't very good to say the least.
It's a decent CD, nothing more nothing less. It's worth a purchase if the price is right ($6-10, sounds right) but not more than that.

Vol 3: A vast improvement over the last two.......2006-12-10

This is the third volume of TNA's theme song's and is easily the best. While the other two are little known (they were released while TNA was having weekly PPV's) This one hit's the nail on the head. Not only do you get the typical themes of stars like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christian Cage, Raven, and Jeff Jarret, but you also get the special prequel music from Victory Road 2006. If your a fan of TNA this disc is a must.

Except for one track a great disk........2006-12-10

I liked this disk. It has the entrance music of the stars of TNA and some cool remixes. That being said the Christy Hemme song was not the greatest. It would be the only track I would scratch my head at wondering how it got on the disk. I would say that all the entrance music is cool and is uncut.

Beware! Terrible CD!.......2006-12-08

Let me just say this is TNA's lame attempt to copy everything WWE does. Christy Hemme has by far the worst singing voice I have ever heard in my entire life. The woman cannot sing! This cd is filled with bad tracks and is an overall mess. Stay away from this cd and go buy a WWE cd cause those are the quality ones.

This Album ROCKS!!!.......2005-05-10

I don't usually listen to instrumentals, but when I heard this cd from my sister, i was curious and just fell in love with this that I just had to find it myself. Anyone who needs a varitey of genres that are just as good as the last on the album, This one is for you. No ifs ands or buts about it.

Don't waste your time reading reviews - just get it.......2004-11-01

3 words - BUY THIS CD. Its quite possibly the greatest guitar album of all time..well, its up there with Rising Force, IMO. It has something in there for every amateur guitarist out there. If you're just picking up the guitar, that intro on the first song will haunt you till you master it. You won't find these tracks anywhere else, even the Leviathan track is a "special edit" just for this CD. Anyways, I feel stupid I'm writing a review for this...bottomline - every guitar player should own this.

Self-indulgent garbage.......2003-04-15

I tried to listen to this several times, but it is BORING! The songs all sound as if they are slight variations of the same theme: "Look how fast I can play". No interesting ideas, just fast, repeated riffs. There are so many talented guitar players out there, I can't imagine why anyone would want to waste their time listening to this cd. The previous reviewers thought it was good - maybe to a pre-pubescent kid with a brand new electric guitar, but to any with even slightly mature taste, this offers nothing but a headache.

Top-notch guitar playing........2000-12-30

Well, everyone is correct by saying this album is AMAZING, but I just wanted to make a little side comment. I saw the release date here at Amazon, and it says 1998... well, that's the "commercial" release date, because this album was recorded and "released" actually in 1993 or 1994, and it was sent as a gift to suscribers of a guitar magazine, I forgot which one. I first heard this album in 1994 and was blown away by it. By the way, on the first song, Reb Beach plays all instruments if I'm not mistaken.

Amazing Guitar Album.......2000-08-21

This album rules. There are so many great guitar players on it. It's also cool because whoever was on it had total creative freedom, so they could play however they wanted to. This album really has everything from metal to funk to blues.

Former Winger, current Dokken guitar player Reb Beach opens the album with Black Magic. This song is pure metal, and Reb's smokin'. This is my favorite song on the album. Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi is next performing Mr. Sambo. It also features Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres and bass player Hugh McDonald. It is another metal song. It really shows Richie's talent. Next up is Yngwie Malmsteen. Every serious guitar player knows he's amazing so there's no need for me to elaborate on this song. Let me just say that you won't be disappointed. Next up is Paul Gilbert of Racer X and Mr. Big. His playing is amazing. The song I Understand Completely is a primarily acoustic but is filled with sound effects and electric overtones. At the end of the song he comes in full electric. Paul Gilbert's great because he plays with amazing speed and precision. Zakk Wylde does something totally unexpected for his song, Farm Fiddlin'. Being Ozzy's former guitar player and fromntman for the ultra heavy Black Label Society you expect a country intro for his song on this album but that's exactly what you get. He starts off with a lightning speed country piece before kicking into the metal style that he's known for. He like pretty much everyone else on the album plays with amazing speed. This song is also great because it shows all of his influences. In the middle of the song it goes into this whole blues piece before kicking back into metal which ends the song. Next up is Nuno Bettancourt former Extreme guitar player. His song Bumble Bee (Crash Landing) is excellent. He is an amazing guitar player. His playing on this song is no exception. It is however very short. Alex Skolnick is up next. He is the former guitar player in Testament and Savatage. He is also a very underrated guitar player. On Filet of Soul he serves up a very funky type song. It also features Les Claypool of Primus on bass. He is amazing as usual. The middle of the song slows down to display Alex's style. It also shows what a great guitarist he really is. Next up is former Poison current Mr. Big guitarist Richie Kotzen. His song Chype Fluxx shows his talent as a musician because he played all of the instruments on it. The song is successful in showing his guitar playing skill as well as his bass playing which sounds pretty decent. Next up is bluesman Albert Collins. His song "Blues for Stevie" is a tribute to the late master Stevie Ray Vaughan. It features amazing blues playing in the style of Stevie. Next up is former Allman Brothers Band guitar player current Gov't Mule frontman Warren Haynes and Allman Brothers guitar player Dickey Betts. The song Willie and Poor Bob is very different, if I had to describe it I'd say it was country blues. It features impressive slide and harmonica work. Next up is David Bowie's sidekick Reeves Gabrels. His song "Why Do I Feel Like I'm Bleeding" is an excellent song. It shows that he can play fast as well as slow. The song is very hard to describe. There is a drum machine that starts it off then some slow guitar. It doesn't kick in to the fast playing until about the midlle of the song. This album is great, but I only recommend this to guitar players or serious fans of guitar playing. If you like this album I also have a few suggestions such as Joe Satriani-Crystal Planet, Dokken-Erase the Slate, Back for the Attack, Extreme-Pornograffiti, Yngwie Malmsteen-Rising Force,Trilogy, Ozzy-No Rest for the Wicked, Racer X-Street Lethal, and Steve Vai-Passion and Warfare, Fire Garden, The Ultra Zone, Alien Love Secrets.

SMOKIN'.......2007-03-01

as a drummer myself I think Scott Travis is as solid a rock drummer as there is but I gotta tell you that the guitar playing on this CD absolutely smokes! These guys tear it up at every turn and don't miss a trick. You guitarists out there, get his CD, fasten your seat belts and crank this sucker up!

[...]

Breathtaking Guitar Playing!!!.......2006-07-14

Simply put this is the greatest "live" shred guitar album ever!!Everytime I get a friend who wants to show off on guitar I whip out with this album,usually nips it in the bud.Anyways this album showcases the fastest,most precise playing you will ever hear on a live album,or just about any studio album for that matter.Paul and Bruce are simply incredible musicians.Even after almost 20 years this album still floors me everytime I listen to it.I cant recomend it enough.!!!!Long Live Shred

A Shred Sensation.......2005-04-05

Perfect, i have never heard anything as beautiful as this. When I found this at a neighborhood yardsale i almost defecated my pants. Jeff Martin sings like an angel. 30 seconds into Paul Gilberts electric guitar solo and i was speechless. So Racers, if you're feeling dangerous, pop this cd in and let good times roll!

Would get 5 stars but..........2003-06-22

I've loved this band since I first discovered them back in the mid 80's. While "Extreme Volume I Live" shows the band in top form, the transfer to cd is not the best... good enough though. The playing is imaculate and all of the band's members went on to other things... Paul Gilbert of course went on to form Mr. Big and also have a successful solo career, Scott Travis went on the become Judas Priest's drummer, Jeff Martin became the drummer for Badlands, (Voodoo Highway and Dusk), and more recently the drummer w/ The Plot, (feat. Micheal Schenker-gtrs. and Pete Way- bass), John Alderete and Bruce Bouillet formed The Scream w/ John Corabi, (one time Motley Crue singer), and remain active in the music biz. Of course, all but Bruce continue to write, record, and perform as Racer X to this day. I recomend this to anyone who loves the over the top speed of light virtuosity of the late 80's and (very) early 90's when people really bothered to learn to play their instuments intstead of just using them as props. Vol. I features individual solos from each band member. This should really get 5 stars but the transfer cuts one star off... and it really isn't that bad... buy it and play it often... loud!!!

Trazan's Day Off..........2003-05-10

I spent a good portion of my time in High School in the early 90s just trying to figure out the solo to Gone Too Far. So much I destroyed my CD player going back and forth. If you havent heard a perfectly exectuted twin lead harmony, this is the one you MUST hear. Paul and Bruce pull the most amazing LIVE guitar work I have ever heard. This along with Live Extreme Volume II are truly works of art. Its better than WRONGWAY Malmsteen's live in Leningrad.

W.A.S.P........2007-01-15

I am a W.A.S.P. fan and this is a CD I play often. It's really good.

WASP more than meets the image.......2006-11-13

WASP has cultivated an image that is not reflective of this really great rock and roll band. Somewhere along the line WASP took off and developed a small cult following using costumes and on-stage antics (throwing raw meat, explatives etc.) This has kept a much larger main-stream audience away from their music. I was recently aquainted with the WASP catalog through the XM radio station the BoneYard. This is a great rock and roll band. Forget the image and the antics and just "Let the music do the talking" these guys are great!!

It's ok, but not really the best.......2006-01-27

This starts of with a cover of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," which sounds okay, but seems out of place. It should have been placed alongside the last three tracks. It's great that they included "Animal(F**k like a beast). It's the one that put them in the spotlight. Basically you get mostly songs from thier first two albums. That's great, but after "Sex Drive," it seems like they just threw stuff in.
This might be good if you're already a fan, but not if you want to get to know the band. This album frankly gave me the wrong impression because I did that. W.A.S.P. isn't all about sex and swearing, and it's obvious if you take the time to go through the actual albums themselves. I want to give it a really good rating, but it just seems like a sloppy work. Heck, the cover art looks like it came from a home printer. If you must buy it, get a used copy. It's simply not worth shelling out the full price.

Good hits cd.......2005-02-22

This is a pretty good compliation CD. Its a re-issue of the previous "vol. 1" greatest hits cd.

I think 3-4 more songs could have been fit on this cd. It clocks in only a little over a hour. I also dont like how some of the tracks have been remastered (or lack thereof). Why "Saturday night alright for fighting" is on here is beyond me.

The packaging is a bit cheezy. It looks like it was printed on a inkjet printer. It contains a small booklet with some liner notes and info about the band. There are also some pictures in the booklet.

It might be better just to get the first 2 cds though(W.A.S.P. and The last command), since they contain the best songs anyways.

Great '80s Compiliation!.......2005-12-12

Ah the '80s!! Cool videos on MTV, hot chicks in tight fitting clothing and great music! If you like heavy metal music then you will love this great collection. What makes this CD great is not only are the best known bands from the '80s here (Poison, Scorpions and Ratt) this CD also contains some awesome tunes (Never Enough and Blind In Texas) from lesser known bands (L.A Guns and W.A.S.P.). If you remember how fun it was to rock out in the '80s or want to see just how great it was then pick up this terrific collection!

Good compilation of 80's metal.......2004-03-27

I think that this CD out of the Youth Gone Wild collection has the best known songs and you sometimes hear those songs on classic rock radio and the best known hits on this CD is Scorpions' Rock You Like a Hurricane, Poison's Talk Dirty to Me, Quiet Riot's Cum on Feel the Noize and Twisted Sister's Were Not Gonna Take It, the other noteworthy songs is Motorhead's Ace of Spades, Krokus's Screaming in the Night, WASP's Blind in Texas and Ratt's Lay it Down, the only song that doesn't fit in the category is Rainbow's Street of Dreams cause the song is too mellow to be on here, I would've chose Death Alley Driver instead or Stone Cold, I would love to put Rainbow's Man on the Silver Mountain but that song originally came out in 1975 and there would be 2 songs sung by Ronnie James Dio on this compilation but don't let that discourage you, if you're a casual fan of old school metal then this CD is a must have.(...)

bang for your buck.......2004-01-08

here we have a compilation of songs that you wouldn't run out and buy on the original releases.the quiet riot,dio,w.a.s.p. and accept stand out as the strongest tracks and are arguably the best from the respective bands.y&t and rainbow are also strong but not the best from those two bands.you could do without the poison and the motorhead,but thats pretty obvious.

80s Hair Metal at its Best.......2002-06-19
