Matt, Rob & Gabor check out Van Halen's fourth album, 'Fair Warning' in the latest installment of the Iconic Albums series. This album realised more of Eddie Van Halen's vision of the band in 1981. The resulting tracks showed a darker, edgier side of the band and, although the album was a relatively slow burner, became many a guitar player's favourite VH record.
