I wasn't even alive when this came out. twenty years post-Van Halen debut album release. And I declare it one of the best covers of all time. Sorry Jimi, you aren't the Top Jimmy anymore :)
@Jefgg Your right, but Dave and Bon were my favs in the hairy chest department. I'm not one who usually finds that attractive, but back then it did seem appealing on those two.
@mike2boysdad When Van Halen first took off a lot of people accused David Lee Roth of being a total ripoff of Jim "Dandy" Mangrum of Black Oak Arkansas. If you look up BOA videos on youtube the influence is undeniable.
When my brother first brought VH home back then and SHOOK !!! the house with Eruption!! I was sold.I was Hooked for weeks.And went on to listen to them for years.There was no sound like em.I put the headset on a cranked it.
Hey kiddies! You probably don't know this but before Van Halen were famous and were complete unknowns there was a rumor that millions of people actually believed that Van Halen was a secret band for Gene Simmons of Kiss and that Michael Anthony was in fact Gene Simmons without the makeup. We also believed that stupid ass Rod Stewart story too. We smoked pot, dropped acid and got our girlfriends pregnant. We did a lot of stupid shit. I ain't proud of it.
Greeeaat song ! Gives me chills man. But it is true that Dave is hairry compered to Eddie. Ed's skin looks really soft and Dave,.. Well not so much xD .
Thumbs up for Eddies 'Mu Gusta" Face at the begining.''

I was so young when this came out I had no idea it was a cover. I still prefer this version over the original by The Kinks.

This is when a hairy chest was cool and you were proud to show it. Nobody could rock the chest hair like Roth... Well maybe Bon Scott...

@1687hernandez Paul Stanley also rocked a hairy chest. He must dye it now. Dave started waxing when his went gray. Bon Jovi also waxes.

Mike Anthony's hair plugs ruin this video.
It would be cool if they digitally replaced Anthony with Wolfie in this video.
