The Inside Magazine #1
Description
The Inside was an all-Van Halen, full-color, glossy magazine created by the VanHalenStore.com team from 1995 to 2000. Each issue was filled with content exactly what loyal VH fans crave: stunning, never-before-seen photos, exclusive interviews with band members, road crew, and other insiders, never-before-told stories, and rare facts and information about VH that couldn't be found elsewhere.
The Inside became Van Halen's official magazine, was promoted in the liner notes of their albums, and was sold both on tour and in stores. These issues are treasured collector's items by thousands worldwide.
Issue #1 included 28 pages of content:

TIMELINE PART 1
Van Halen's influence on modern rock is immeasurable. Their legacy spans some 50 years dating back to the earliest days in Holland with Alex and Eddie's musician-father Jan. The editors of The Inside have dug to the deepest, darkest caverns of our Van Halen files to chronicle their fruitful ascent to the top of the world. This first installment to our long-running Timeline feature starts with Jan Van Halen touring through Europe in the 1940s, and ends up with the band's second release in 1979.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN JURASSIC PARK
We dug up these rare, never-before-published photos of Van Halen and some giant dinosaurs on location for a video shoot for the Fair Warning album. We are not sure which song this video concept was for, but we do know that these dinosaurs never made it off the cutting room floor.
