They released twelve albums but the most successful was 1984 with lead single Jump which is the most recognizable song of this band. The following two singles were Panama and I'll Wait also from album 1984. What's interesting Eddie Van Halen was one of the greatest guitarist ever and in Rolling Stones TOP 100 Guitarist he took 8th place. In 2006 leader replaced Michael Anthony with Wolfgang Van Halen (who get his name in homage to classical composer Mozart) his own son from marriage with actress Valerie Bertinelli. 31 March 2015 they released a live album Tokyo Dome Live in Concert two months earlier Van Halen announced they 39 tour date from July to October 2015 across North America.

Heart



Heart is the only one band presented by me in which leaders are two sisters Nancy (guitarist) and Ann Wilson (lead vocal). Group was formed in 1974 in Canada and earlier it had two others names: The Army (1967-1969), White Heart (1969–72) and Hocus Pocus (1972–73). It was one of the most famous women-band in '70 an '80, two sisters with great voices and special abilities for instruments (guitar, keyboards and few more). They sold over 35 millions records worldwide and they got four Grammy nominations. Band released 15 albums, the last one in 2012 but their most famous recording CD was Heart which made them more known after few years of silent. What is most admirable this two women are almost 65 years old and they still performed with each other.

Skid Row is an American band formed in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo, the pair added guitarist Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and lead vocalist Sebastian Bach. They started playing in clubs and few months later with a little help of Jon Bon Jovi they began working at an album. They released Skid Row in January 1989 which was a really big success with magnificient songs like ballad - I Remember You, 18 and Life or Youth Gone Wild. There were also few accidents on their concert like "The Bottle Accident" when Bach was hit by a bottle during the concert but he continued singing despite the injury. The other one was when he put on a T-Shirt with anti-gay slogan which was thrown by fan . Later he would express regret over the incident during an interview. Unfortunately the most charismatic person - Sebastian Bach left group in 1996 and started a less known solo career. His place took Sean McCabe and later two others singer. Since 2015 lead vocal hold Tony Harnell, best known for his Norwegian work with group TNT. Now, they are working at new album called United World Rebellion which will appear in 2016.
