Alex Van Halen is one of the greatest 'evil genius' rock drummers Ever! Eddie at the same time is the rock guitar version of Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms.
@flip5775, A LOT of Alex's drum solos from tour to tour were and still are mind blowing. He's one of those "Oh, shit!" drummers. You never know what to expect from Alex whether he'll blow himself up or set his drums on fire or what.
I think to Eddie using the keyboards was like Jimmy Page using acoustic. It added versatility and changed up the music a bit. I love the Dave era way more, but musically they ran out their stay. There was really nothing else fresh they could do cus Dave didn't want pianos and synths in the tunes frequently. To me, 1984 summed up the sound of classic Van Halen. When "House of Pain" fades out, it really sounds like the end of Van Halen, or that era of VH.
Edwrad Van halen is a musical prodigy genius!!! Writing songs and playing the guitar like a god!!!! EVH is God. Adnoydall was sexually abused by 3 priests!!!
Great harmony in the background ooo's and ahhh's at 2:07. Beautiful.

I first thought it was all playback, coz it is so perfectly sung, but then came Sammy back too late after the solo. Maybe some overdubs?

@teramasz, "wow all wow" is right. That's what it should say at the end of every supercar's and motorcycle's speedos. Or at least "Oh wow!"
