Van Halen: The Music and the Fans, 19781986, is a book that explores the reasons for Van Halens emergence as one of the more important rock groups of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Currently, the study of a specific group is a new trend in popular musicology. As a critical study of the band, its members, and its music, the book seeks to explain why Van Halen was popular among fans from 19781986. The inquiry situates Van Halen in the context of hard rock and heavy metal of the period. The study examines details of the groups compositional style, scrutinizes the evolution of their style, and discusses fan reception of their music and the major change in band personnel. The book also analyzes how Van Halen performance of songs written by other artists and looks at the differences between the two vocalists who performed with the group from 1978 to 1986. In addition, the book argues that guitarist Edward Van Halen influenced a generation of rock guitarists with performances that incorporated an expansion of significant advances in technique not seen since the late 1960s. Moreover, Van Halen is identified as a leader in the design of electric guitar equipment, helping sales to achieve a level not seen in the decades since the instruments initial development. However, by 1986, their style changed to a more conservative tone, that is demonstrated by their musical development, the evolution of their musical equipment, and the impact they had on the groups fan base.
