Funny how I graduated HS in 1985 and thought van halen was my era and they were but were playing and recording when I was 8. Guess the hair bands were really my era. Time for some quiet riot motley crue and bon jovi lol
@dokken447 It was a question, If you weren't trying to be so snappy you would've comprehended what I was saying! You said they were supposed to put it on VHII, WCH is on their third album, so does it differs?? It's along the same type of rhythm.
@Carloscda40 im being snappy? if you where so quick to reply you would have noticed i said nothing about any album my comment simply read "hows he playing all the guitars when theres two guitars in this recording and its live?"
I think this is a song dave wrote in his pre-Van Halen band Red Ball Jets prior to joining. It was planned for Van Halen 2 but was considered too different to put on the album. Nice song though!
Ah, I've loved this song for years. :) Never did understand why they didn't publish "Angel Eyes" on an album.
Thankfully, this song isn't one of them (that I know of, at least), but have you noticed how much pre-Warner Bros VH the band "recycled" for other songs? There's a lot of it on "Fair Warning", sadly.
@MrMaddog64 I have news for you: Van Hagar SUCKED too. In fact, VH sucked from about "Fair Warning" forward. They lost their hunger and then sold out in favor of commercialism. If the VH of yesteryear could travel forward in time, they would be horrified to see what they would be destined to become. On the other hand, they never did suck nearly as badly as new Metallica. That's a consolation, at least.
Van Hagar is a clever way to sum up that era, not really offensive, I even bought VH3, and I listen to it still. They were about to tour in WI and canceled due to the tix sales in advance being so poor. DLR toured solo, and he lost some of his skills in recent years, but he is a showman to the end! This is extra impressive stuff!
I never was a fan of Extreme either. I am not a fan of Funk-Metal or Funk-Hard Rock, unless it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Extreme were gimmicky to me.

I think its ok, but its too much like Led Zepelin and isnt like van halen at all.

This was supposed to be the intro for "In A Simple Rhyme" but they cut it short because it was too much like Led Zeppelin

This is a really good song, wish they had done more with it. Van Hagar was good, but not like the DLR era, and in my humble opinion VH3 SUCKED.
