my dad got to talk to roth when they were both bein arrested after a VH concert in Cincinnati...my dad broke a cops jaw and dave sparked a joint on stage
I grew up listen and going to their concerts David Lee Roth was the best front man they ever had. These guy rock the fuck out!! By far one of the best Rock Bands of their time!!
Love VH but the Kinks introduced distortion in to the lexicon of rock and roll gee-tar playing. The Kinks had an amp with a torn speaker cone they couldn't afford to repair and the rest as they say is history.
i was about 18 when van halen hit the scene and the timing was perfect . i just wanted to tell the females aint talkin about love , just a good time . those were the days
I was a teenager of 18 when this came out. All the summer of 78 ALL you heard was this. Imagine the touring summer the Van Halen Bros had. My best friend Steve Elliot was Black Dutch too - a good bass player and SO ethinically proud of these boys.
this version has the balls the original would have, had DAve Davies knew how to play worth a shit and if they had amps that would overdrive like they eventually did.
I don't understand what this cover adds to the original. The guitar tone is heavier, but it's so one-dimensional. The Kinks version has a crunchy quality in the guitar tone. The vocals are roughly equal. The Kinks solo was awesome, a unique all-over-the-place sound to it. EVH's solo, like all of his solos, are just cloned from a master copy.
Most pointless cover ever. It added nothing but took away quite a bit. Now go ahead and flame me, but argue reasonably. No need to swear like a 13-year-old
@farseer611 What this song did was introduce this great song that the Kink's did to a younger generation at the time who may had never heard the song before.
I heard this when it came out and now I'm 42..it still blows my mind away...all the songs on this album are great..not one is bad..it only gets better as it goes on..then I think they went the wrong way...shame..
