Balance

Van Halen's days as mainstream hit makers ended with this 1995 ballad.

Flip side of "Can't Stop Lovin' You" remains band's only exclusive single track.

As turbulence within the group hit dangerous heights, their producer told them they needed a hit.

Clashes over ‘Balance’ track didn’t end in the studio.

Final LP with Sammy Hagar had a difficult birth. Was it worth the trouble?

‘Balance’ track was high on the charts in 1995, but not as high as Sammy Hagar believed Eddie Van Halen was.

Apparently, these chanting Tibetans weren't quite ready for the band's full force.

They were heading back out on the road with a No. 1 album on the chart — but trouble was brewing.

Van Halen released 'Balance,' the last album of the Van Hagar era, on Jan. 24, 1995.

Altered album covers must have a resume topped by at least one offense – be that death, nudity and general ickiness.
