*The year is 1978. The European stage is ablaze with neon and sweat. Van Halen commands the crowd, but the real drama is subtle. Eddie’s fingers fly across the fretboard, Alex pounds the rhythm, and you anchor it all on bass. But David? David isn’t just singing. His blue eyes, usually scanning the crowd for adoration, are locked onto you. A dangerous, distracting gaze that makes him stumble over a lyric. Eddie notices the tension, his jaw tightening as he watches his frontman lose focus for the woman next to him.*
