Eruption Live 1978

[Roman Bayramdurdiyev]

VanHalen is the debut studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on February 10, 1978, by Warner Bros. Records. Widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums in rock music,[9][10][11] and considered the progenitor of glam metal,[5][6] the album was a major commercial success, peaking at number 19 on the Billboard 200.[12] It has sold more than 10 million copies in the United States, receiving a Diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and making it one of the best-selling albums in the country.[13]

Van Halen contains some of the band's most well-known songs, including "Runnin' with the Devil", "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love", "Jamie's Cryin'", their cover version of the Kinks' 1964 song "You Really Got Me", and the instrumental "Eruption"; written and played by guitarist Eddie Van Halen, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and helped popularize two-handed tapping.[14] In 2020, the album was ranked number 292 in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

After recording the demos, the band was offered several concerts. At a sold-out show in their hometown, Pasadena, the group's future manager, Marshall Berle, discovered the band. He and musical entrepreneur Kim Fowley paired them with punk rock band Venus and the Razorblades for a gig at the Whisky a Go Go.[18] After being well received by Berle at the Whisky a Go Go, the band gained the attention of Mo Ostin and Ted Templeman of Warner Bros. who both attended the band's performance at the Starwood on February 3, 1977. Van Halen proceeded to sign a contract with Warner.[19] [20]

The recording of this debut album with producer Ted Templeman began August 29, 1977.[21] The tracks were recorded quickly during sessions between August 31 and September 8, 1977.[22] It was mostly recorded live,[23] but "Runnin' with the Devil", "Jamie's Cryin'", "Feel Your Love Tonight" and "Ice Cream Man" contain guitar overdubs.[24] Eddie also overdubbed his solo for "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" with an electric sitar.[25] Work on the album ended October 4 with the final mixing of "Little Dreamer" and "Eruption" (titled simply "Guitar Solo" on studio documents).[3] Overall, the album cost approximately $54,000 to produce.

"We didn't have a ton of material," recalled bassist Michael Anthony, "so we basically just took our live show and all the songs we knew and went for it. The whole album only took a couple of weeks. Ted Templeman wanted to make a big, powerful guitar record, and he had all he needed in what Eddie was doing."[26]

The subsequent tour began March 3, 1978 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago with the band opening for Journey and Montrose in the United States.[27] [28] They later opened for heavy metal band Black Sabbath in Europe and the United States.[29]

The cover photos for Van Halen were taken at the Whisky a Go Go, a Los Angeles club at which Van Halen often performed during late 1976-1977. The guitar pictured on the cover is Eddie Van Halen's signature Frankenstrat (before he added the red paint), a highly customized Stratocaster-style guitar built out of replacement parts.

According to Rolling Stone's Holly George-Warren, with the album's release the mainstream media focused on Roth's "swaggering good looks and extroverted persona", while fans and musicians "were riveted by Eddie Van Halen's guitar mastery", which included "an array of unorthodox techniques."[43] She notes that, even before the band's debut, "Eddie became a legend among local guitarists."[43]

On August 7, 1996, Van Halen was re-certified by the RIAA for selling ten million copies in the United States alone.[46] One of only seven rock bands to release two RIAA Diamond status albums, Van Halen remains one of Van Halen's two best-selling albums, along with 1984.

Van Halen went to Gold status on May 24, 1978, and then went to Platinum status just a few months later, on October 10, 1978. In less than a year the album sold more than one million copies in the US alone, meaning that the album was already a great success. On October 22, 1984, the album went to 5 Multi-Platinum status. The album went to 6x Multi-Platinum on February 1, 1989, and then went to 7 Multi-Platinum on September 29, 1993. In less than a year later, on July 11, 1994, the album went to 8x Multi-Platinum, and finally, on August 7, 1996, just two years later, the album went to Diamond status by RIAA.[13]

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Van Halen as "monumental" and "seismic", while noting that it is typically not viewed as an "epochal generation shift" in the same way as the debut albums of Led Zeppelin, the Ramones, The Rolling Stones, and the Sex Pistols.[48] He explains, "The reason it's never given the same due is that there's no pretension, nothing self-conscious about it."[48] He commented: "The still-amazing thing about Van Halen is how it sounds like it has no fathers ... Like all great originals Van Halen doesn't seem to belong to the past and it still sounds like little else, despite generations of copycats."[48] In Erlewine's opinion, the album "set the template for how rock and roll sounded for the next decade or more."[48] A retrospective review by Q noted, "Hit singles came later, but this dazzling debut remains their trump card."[37]

In 1994, Van Halen was ranked number eight in Colin Larkin's Top 50 Heavy Metal Albums. Larkin described it as "one of the truly great" debut albums of heavy metal.[49] According to authors Gary Graff and Daniel Durchholz, writing in MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide (1999), Van Halen is a "headbanger's paradise"; before its release, "no one had heard or seen anything like it."[36] In 2003, Rolling Stone, listed it among The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, at number 410;[50] the list's 2012 edition had it ranked 415th.[51] The 2020 list placed it at 292. According to Rolling Stone's Joe Levy, the album "gave the world a new guitar hero and charismatic frontman" in Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth, respectively.[50] Levy credits the tracks "Runnin' with the Devil" and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" with "put[ting] the swagger back in hard rock", praising Eddie Van Halen's "jaw-dropping technique", which "raised the bar for rock guitar."[50] In 2006, Guitar World readers ranked it number 7 on a list of the Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time.[52] In 2013, Rolling Stone listed the album at number 27 of the 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time.[53]

Ardoukoba Volcano is located on the coast 100 km from Djibouti city. Ardoukoba Volcano erupted in 1978 for one week after an earthquake created a 1.8 m fissure. This was the first eruption of Ardoukoba Volcano in 3000 years.

1978 Eruption

An eruption began on 7th November, after a period of 24 hours where 800 earthquakes ("We don't think the region is gearing up for another supervolcanic eruption, but the cooling process may release enough gas and liquid to cause earthquakes and small eruptions," study author Zhongwen Zhan, a geophysicist at Caltech's Seismological Laboratory, said in a statement.

Some of the Long Valley Caldera temblors are quite dramatic. For example, in May 1980 alone, there were four magnitude-6 earthquakes in the region, Zhan said. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the caldera produced earthquake swarms between 1978 and 1983, between 1990 and 1995, in 1996, and between 1997 and 1998. It also triggered a series of quakes around 2014 and 2019, though at a lower rate than during the earlier swarms.

There are two possible reasons why the Long Valley Caldera might make the earth shake. One is that magma is moving around the subsurface, which would raise the risk of a future eruption. The other is that in the process of cooling, the caldera's magma chamber is letting off liquid and gas that rises and deforms the ground.

To investigate which is responsible, Zhan and his colleagues used an earthquake-monitoring technique called distributed acoustic sensing. This method involves laying out long fiber-optic cables to sense even very small earthquakes. Over 12 months, the researchers detected more than 6,000 temblors. They used these waves to create images of the subsurface, much like an ultrasound uses sound waves to create pictures of internal organs.

The results showed that the less-hazardous hypothesis for the caldera's shaking is the most likely. A lid of crystallized magma about 5 miles (around 8 km) below the surface covers the cooling magma reservoir of the caldera, which is largely situated around 9.3 to 12.4 miles (15 to 20 km) deep. Though this structure does not preclude the possibility that magma will move to shallower depths in the future, it suggests that the caldera is calming down rather than gearing up.
