I just love Van Halen. They were formed in Pasadena in 1972.
I have heard of them but have never heard their music. 1972 - a few years before I was born. So they are a hard rock band are they?
Yes they were a hard rock band and by the early 1980s they were one of the most successful rock bands of the time.
I feel a bit embarrased not to know their music. I have searched who they are similar to, and I have found that they are similar music to Def Leppard and Whitesnake, and I liked both of those when I was younger. What other sort of music do you like?
I like all kinds of American rock which had its roots in the 1940s and 1950s rock and roll. Today I like bands like AFI and Anti-Flag.
I don't know so many American rockgroups. I have seen Kasabian play - they were amazing. Have you heard of them?
