Released in the Spring of 1981, Fair Warning was Van Halen's fourth album and fourth consecutive million seller. The LP, produced by Ted Templeman, featured all original material by the band, including such in-concert favorites as "So This Is Love?," "Push Comes To Shove" and "Unchained." Originally trained as concert pianists, the Netherlands-born Van Halen brothers, Alex and Eddie, relocated to Los Angeles with their family in the late 60's. Eddie learned to play drums and Alex picked up the guitar but by the time they formed their first group, Mammoth, they had switched instruments. With the addition of bassist Michael Anthony, recruited from a rival band and Midwestern-bred vocalist David Lee Roth, the line-up was complete. From 1974 to 1976 the group estabvlished itself as a favorite on the L.A. club scene. There they were spotted by Kiss' Gene Simmons who financed a demo tape. In 1977 the band was signed to Warner Bros. Records. What followed was an uninterrupted run of Platinum albums and sold-out stadium dates. Van Halen's self-titled debute featured two hits, "You Really Got Me" and ""Runnin' With The Devil." 1979's Van Halen II and 1980's Women and Children First were both Top 10, multi-million sellers. The music of Fair Warning highlighted a less structured, more open approach, well suited to the band's incendiary stage show. Following the release of Fair Warning, the band embarked on a barnstorming 10 month world tour.
