About Women and Children First in brief

Summary Women and Children FirstWomen and Children First is the third studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released on March 26, 1980. It was the first to feature only compositions written by the band, and is described by critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as where the group started to get heavier, both sonically and, to a lesser extent, thematically. The first single from the album was the keyboard-driven \”And the Cradle Will Rock… \” Although it was not a success, the album itself was well-received, went platinum within a year and further entrenched the band as a popular concert draw.

The song \”Everybody Wants Some!!\” was also a concert staple through the 1984 tour, and continued to be played by David Lee Roth after he left the band. The album was used in the 1985 comedy film Better Off Off Better Off, featuring a guitar-playing hamburger, Eddie in the animation, as the hamburger’s guitar sports the Frankenstratatat design made by him.
