You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find anyone who picked up an electric guitar after 1978 \u2014 the year Van Halen the band\u2019s self-titled debut was released \u2014 and wasn\u2019t in some way influenced by the man. I mean, the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aZ9PD6OaJbI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Midwest emo<\/a> genre is practically indebted to the pioneer of finger-tapping.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eruption Guitar Solo--Eddie Van Halen\" width=\"689\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z_lwocmL9dQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 5px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>And speaking of the Midwest, there\u2019s a bit of a Madison connection for Van Halen. More than a bit, actually. Eagle-eyed crate-diggers may have noticed the local Sheraton, specifically the hotel\u2019s seventh floor, is thanked in the liner notes of the group\u2019s 1979 sophomore album, <em>Van Halen II<\/em>. So why is that?<\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>\u201cI can still see it in my head\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>In 1978, Van Halen was on the verge of a huge breakthrough. The Californians were on tour with Journey and Montrose (featuring eventual VH singer Sammy Hagar) and slated to play at the Orpheum Theater on March 7. However, the Orph apparently didn\u2019t have enough room to host three bands, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magic98.com\/2018\/03\/10\/jims-blog-the-night-van-halen-trashed-the-sheraton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Van Halen was axed from the lineup<\/a>. This was a major bummer, because at the time Van Halen was arguably the hottest of those three bands; their cover of The Kinks\u2019 \u201cYou Really Got Me\u201d was seeing <em>a ton <\/em>of radio play.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Van Halen - You Really Got Me (Official Music Video)\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9X6e7uctAww?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 5px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>The next stop on the tour was two days later in Milwaukee, meaning the band would be staying overnight in Madison. Looking to cash in on Van Halen Fever, local music journalists \u2014 including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vhnd.com\/2018\/03\/07\/van_halen_sheraton_inn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rock writer Susan Masino<\/a> \u2014 and the band\u2019s record company got the quartet booked for a secret show at a 500-capacity, Beltline-adjacent club called The Shuffle Inn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing Eddie for the first time; I heard him on the record and I was like \u2018This is unbelievable,\u2019\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/spectrumnews1.com\/wi\/madison\/news\/2020\/10\/09\/eddie-van-halen-sheraton-inn-madison-wisconsin-music-journalist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Masino says<\/a>. \u201cI wondered if he could play like that on stage. And he was amazing. I\u2019ll never forget it. I can still see it in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gig was as much a party as you\u2019d expect, complete with frontman David Lee Roth <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vhnd.com\/2018\/03\/07\/van_halen_sheraton_inn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spraying the crowd with champagne<\/a>. Their reputation was always that of a party band, and they proved this the next night at the Sheraton with a party so wild they thanked the hotel in the liner notes on their next album.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>\u201cThat was just the way they were\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Hell hath no fury like a rock band with a day off in the \u201970s. The party after The Shuffle Inn gig was a blast, replete with a local journalist shutting her head in an elevator door with Alex Van Halen. But it was the next night when they had nothing better to do that shit <em>really<\/em> popped off.<\/p>\n<p>There have been conflicting reports and exaggerations about what happened, but ex-Van Halen roadie Tom Broderick is probably the best source. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vhnd.com\/2018\/03\/07\/van_halen_sheraton_inn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Broderick says<\/a> they spent the evening spraying each other with fire extinguishers and throwing furniture out the windows. At one point, Journey singer Steve Perry had to talk Alex out of pushing a table out his window into the snow below. (Ironically, Van Halen would later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vhnd.com\/2017\/04\/12\/van-halen-journey-sharing-stage-rivalry-in-1978\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blame the incident on Journey<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Van Halen - Runnin&#039; With The Devil (Official Music Video)\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i5txwFv-zYM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 5px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>My personal favorite anecdote involves Alex and Roth breaking into Eddie\u2019s hotel room and throwing all his furniture outside. To retaliate, Eddie went to the front desk and told the clerk his name was David Lee Roth and he had lost his key. He then went to the singer\u2019s room and commandeered all of <em>his <\/em>furniture for his own room.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Sheraton management was not happy with the young rock band. But things have a way of changing over time. Now we know Van Halen is one of the most iconic, beloved acts in the history of rock. So it should come as no surprise a lounge on the Madison hotel\u2019s seventh floor is dubbed the \u201cRoth Room,\u201d a commemorative tip of the cap to the band\u2019s own thank you. Even so, Van Halen members received a lifetime ban from all Sheraton properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was insane but that was just the way they were,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/spectrumnews1.com\/wi\/madison\/news\/2020\/10\/09\/eddie-van-halen-sheraton-inn-madison-wisconsin-music-journalist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Masino says<\/a>. \u201cThat was Van Halen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Eddie Van Halen died last week, music fans around the world said goodbye to one of the greatest guitarists to ever do it.
