Van Halen Producers


Hello Everyone:

Not including Van Halen's first album...What Producer do you think worked best with the band?

My pick would be Bruce Fairbairn ! (Balance Album)

Cheers !

Re: Van Halen Producers


By not including the producer of the first album, Ted Templeman, you are sort of excluding everything up to 1984. Even so, I love the sound BF got out of the band for Balance so that is also my choice.

Re: Van Halen Producers


Was a great sound on Balance but why wouldn't Templeman be included? He did a great job capturing Billy and Stevie on Eat em and Smile?

Re: Van Halen Producers


Bruce Fairbain and engineer Donn Landee and second engineer Ken Deane, I know they were not producers but if it wasn't for them 95% of all Van Halen's records would not be made plus Donn and Ken are good friends of mine... [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]
