Summary: A Good Collection of Van Halen videos
Review: Van Halen has been popular since the late 70's, and to this day, Van Halen still does have old fans, but there are also several new Van Halen fans also. So, with all the classic Van Halen songs there are out there, it is great to have a Van Halen DVD, which is about an hour long and includes fourteen of Van Halen's music videos. All of the videos on here were hits. Most of the videos on here were shot with Sammy Hagar, but there are three videos on here with David Lee Roth ("Jump", "Panama", and "Hot For Teacher")while the only weak video on here is "Without You", which was shot with Gary Cherone, who joined the band after Sammy Hagar left. Both the song and the video aren't that great, along with the fact that Cherone is screaming the lyrics of the song instead of singing them like he should. The last video on here should have been with David Lee Roth. But other than that, the rest of the DVD is great, and the best video on here is "Hot For Teacher" which is by far not only the best music video ever made, but the funniest one also. Another cool video on here is the "Right Now" video. Eddie Van Halen has a reputation as a great guitarist, and not only is Van Halen a great guitarist, he is a great pianist also. There a few videos/songs on this DVD where Van Halen played both guitar and piano, and you can actually see him playing the piano in the "Not Enough" video, and even though it comes and goes real quick, at one part of the "Right Now" video, you will get to see him playing the piano, and you also get to see Van Halen playing the guitar at another part of the video. If you like Van Halen, and you get a chance to buy this DVD, don't even think about turning it down.

Summary: Good But Missing A lot.
Review: Van Halen's Video Hits, Vol: 1 is alright collection of music videos. It's alright for the Van Halen fan that is only intrested in the hits but for the serious die-hard Van Halen fan we want more. This DVD should had been at least 2 discs, every single Van Halen video, commentary, and a lot of bonus materials. I also think Van Halen should consider releasing there 1983 performance at the US festival cause from what I hear it was a excellent performance but I would definitly like to see a more upgraded DVD video collection in the future.

Summary: VAN HALEN AND THE COMRPOMISE
Review: what ever happened to...David Lee Roth?This band would not be if it wasn't for him and no matter how many hits Sammy Haggar helped make...it just doesn't make sence to exclude Diamond Dave! Van Halen's one of teh few bands in History that has been able to go through two singers and still have huge success. I think I will stick to the bootleg material. At least they offer the early videos that seem to blow away the Sammy era. I think the Greatest hits could have been 50/50 but for obvious reasons it isn't. It si still great to have FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED...I just hope part 2 does that.....
