Straight from eds mouth.. He failed to mention that The Halen bros made Michael Anthony sign some contract stating he was not a member of Van Halen just playin on the tour. Not a great way to treat a man that has contributed to the ferocious live sound not to mention the great vocal sound he's always added AND a great stage presence he's provided on all the tours whether it's DLR or the Red Rocker. I've always loved Van Halen but forcing him out bc he was jammin w the waboritas ( Sammy's post
@glutamine001 the reaction from his fans really hurt his feelings....he put more into this album than the first 6 original albums put together....Ed wrote ALL the music and co wrote some of the lyrics with Gary.....Michael Anthony contributed nothing but playing bass on 3 tracks...it was basically an Ed solo album....that came straight from Eds mouth...
Fucking sick!!!......the most underated Van Halen album ever......the sad part is that Ed put so much into it and received very little from his fans....I love You Ed!!!!!......
In my mind, this is one of the best songs that EVH wrote and composed. What a fusion of jazz and rock, not to mention other genres. This song is totally unique in many ways and should be considered amongst the top 10 of the bands' all time hits ;-0 Just saying is all ;-)
Gary sounded very good on this video guys. Great song. Great riff in A minor ala Stairway to Heaven. I'd venture to guess that the live shows with Gary were probably pretty darn good considering his voice is part Sammy and part Dave.
I have to admit, I didnt give Gary a chance, but after he left the band I went back and gave it a listen b/c I wanted some VH music. And this aint so bad, in fact its good.
All the haters can just go back to Balance. This song is as good and mighty on guitar as anything Ed has ever done. Just too bad they got rid of Sammy and expected Gary to sound just like him. This song is brilliant!
This song kicks ass, period. Gary wasn't given a fair chance in this version on VH. I'm sure, in a private moment, Eddie would say the same thing. Gary is a great singer with a range better than Sam or Dave. It's a shame they didn't make at least one more album together.

@Voodoochile316. Those lyrics are deep and make me smile, but there's no need to try and belittle past singers. They were all awesome. All three of them.
People complain about this album but what they fail to realize is they did things very different than all other albums. From interviews I've seen and read with Eddie, they approached the writing very different. In the past Eddie would write and the lyrics came after. On this Eddie wrote music to the lyrics Cherone provided because he was inspired by the material Cherone provided.
I don't know why some people complain about the van halen III album. This song, along with fire in the hole, without you and from afar, is one of the best ever made by van halen...
And Gary? He and Sammy are the best Van Halen vocalists to me...Stay away David! =P
@gregv2k you must not be a musician, and if you are, you suck, or are hella one sided and prudish. way too critical and can't tell me the definition of art. prove me wrong. bitch.
The number of hits here simply shows people are more interested in the name of a lead singer of a band rather than the music, sad. This is a great song.
beautiful eargasm....thank you,Eddie!!! <3
