[sofluxandflow]

I born the year this came out.

[gibsonwarrior]

6 people are conjoined twins

[Gordfozzfoster]

Alex's ride cymbal! ting ting ting ting...hahaha! Alex was awesome on this album. You only need to hear 2 seconds of a van halen song on the radio before you know it's van halen....Alex's drum sound is so signature.

[jamminjim247]

Nothin' beats rollin' down one of LA's freeways on a beautiful saturday AM like this one in my hammered chevy PU with windows down and wind your hair and lookin' over at my red headed girlfriend smillin' back at me!!!!! The stuff dreams are made of!!!! I was lucky and lived them for a time and I'm so F-in grateful! Hey DeAnna, I still love ya' and miss you alot!!!! Jim

[TheSwampstuff]

[Timmyboy505]

I have been everywhere, London, Paris Prague, Vienna but there is NO place like Amsterdam

I <3 AMSTERDAM

[GracefulFalcon]

I was 8 when this album came out, I didn't really know Van Halen until 4 years ago, the only great thing my ex gave me :D

[cards6709]

@GracefulFalcon glad u like

[watdascrew]

just to answer that metal shows arguement whos a better guitar player satch or eddie,the answer is in this song and its eddie

[PowerMetalEuphonist]

@watdascrew In my opinion, they're both great and are tied at number 1.

[pflo99]

love it but it would have been better instrumental. Or with Dave ;)

[LifesonFan4Life]

@pflo99 .. Dave couldn't sing this .. Sammy owns this shit !!! .. lol

[MrPman851]

LIGHT EM UP!

[apmgr251]

@MrPman851

you know it..lol

[MrPman851]

@apmgr251, I've known it since I was 9 years old in 1995, when Van Halen released the album "Amsterdam" is on: "Balance". That was their last album with Red Rocker Sammy Hagar.

[sergechartrand64]

COME-ON LET,S GO PARTY IN AMSTERDAM ???

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

[da5150dude]

I was 23 when this came out, man I feel old :(.

[N3ymarJr]

I love you Van Halen!!! Eddie you are the best guitarist in the world with Steve Lukather!!!

[RarebreedBones]

I personally think this is their best album. I like VH all around whether its what they did with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar. Great song! This one and Baluchitherium are my two favorite VH songs. I too was knee-high to a grasshopper when I was introduced to VH by my dad. Still jammin'....Keep on smokin' !!!

[Wimposs]

Padadadadaaaa Padadadadaaaa Padadadadaaaa howww yeahhhh!! YEAHAAUUWWW

[catmansmith33]

For some reason 2:50-3:00 has a special place in my heart...nothing fancy..it's just like a kick-ass rehearsal jam.

[kayleetjuh18]

I'm feeling very old now....I'm 40 and crazy of this song! Van Halen Rockssssss!!!!!

[IwantmyMTVback]

Best song off of this amazing album.

[mozee31]

roll an ANSTERDAM. YEEAAAH! Big fatty.

[BigD19951]

humans being is a great van hager song

this is cool to not so much a fan of the other onse

[mdees100]

what kind of pussies say someone rules? are u asking to be dominated?

[KeyOfStrife]

Crazy, i was two when this came out xd my dad used to listen to this album when i was very little, now i listen to it aswell :) great

[heybendy]

great song and album

[RastaIsAStateOfMind]

@reddirtgirl55  i remember it well

[bbutters2]

@reddirtgirl55 You were 8, I am psychic......and you pee'd your pants in school that day!

(Ha)

[eeky97]

If I were stranded on an island with a choice of my favorite bands collection- id have to pick ALL of Van HAlens collection over Led Zepplin...theres just way too much good stuff between Roth and Hagar.

[VanHalenWorshiper]

sammy rules aswell this riff is amazing!

[bryble44]

Not, NOT a Hagar fan while in VH. However cudos to Sam. He sang his ass of on this album. Best work Ed put in since Fair Warning as well. How fitting "balance" was finally found between the two. One of the best VH compilations to date. Unfortunately it went south after this album much like Fair Warning did soon after. Ironic.

[redhead5150]

SAMMY CAN BELT OUT THE ROCK!!!! THE KING!!!!!

[1stDUDEoftheTUBE]

you can listen to this song so tight; but you have to visit amsterdam. THEN you will feel it - YEAH, YEAH YEAH!

[44eelz]

@joeglimmix dont ever put tom morello down, he kicks ass too

[joeglimmix]

@44eelz no he doesn't. if you'd ask EVH he would say Tom Morello is no-talent pussy

[44eelz]

@joeglimmix lol thats hilarious, talent isnt about soloing all day long, its about attitude..calling tom morello a pussy is like saying the jonas brothers write heavy music

[joeglimmix]

@44eelz um, there is more to soloing with EVH....TM is all about gimmicks. Take away his effects and he sounds terrible. He sounds terrible to me regardless but a lot of young douches eat that shit up....attitude, please don't lecture us here about attitude.

[44eelz]

@joeglimmix gimmicks?? you cant be serious, hes one of the greatest players of this era, i love him as much as i love jimmy page..dude Tom is all creativity..no one is as inventive as he is, he writes killer riffs, how can u have ears and think hes terrible? suit yourself...

[giorgiomelis2]

this song makes me love livin' near amsterdam!

[allamir]

Best guitar ever...

[tjcoffey]

I love that vocal swell going into the chorus... 1:08



[deuceswild76]

@reddirtgirl55

I had to been around 14-16 yrs. old. My favorite Vhalen album.

[thewiildeone]

Some of Alex V.H.'s best groovin', without a doubt!

[rockstealth2]

Eddie Van Halen is the best guitar player ever.

Thanks for give me the inspiration to be a musician.

I close my eyes and just feel the guitar.

[DuerDieguitarist]

o man nothin beats a excellent riff over a phaser and a 5150 cab on a frankenstrat....well this maybe was recorded when he started playin his musicman guitars, i dunno, but still a badass song, 5/5 stars

[reddirtgirl55]

[reddirtgirl55]

[drummingsebber]

[NatSolo1007]

I was 2 1/2 years old when this album came up. I am happy that atleast one good VH album has came out while I am alive.

I have been a Sammy Hagar fan all my life. Everything he does is gold. I've seen him in concert many times. You young lads keep listening to him he is the best. Btw Sammy was 48 years old when this album was recorded. He is ageless!!!!

[azambujafabio]

even though it's only about drugs it still makes me proud to be living in Amsterdam.

[heartbeatofamerica09]

You Go Hugo, learning young to love awesome music.

Van Halen, and Sammy, kick some serious ass.

[Whitesnake1987me87]

Wow and i ever thought im one of the youngest VH-lovers...

But Hugo is the proof, VH is timeless-awesome!

BTW also thnx from me for loading up the album^^

[KingHaggis]

Love this song. Van Halen rules!

[Huuggoooo]

I wasn't born yet or i was 0 when this album came out. And Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and thats where i live.

[pinescentedwoodsmoke]

[CameronWoodward107]

@stormgurl10 I was 2 When this came out, And Im a DIE HARD HALEN FAN! Love ALLLLLLL THERE MUSIC, with both singers David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. Both great singers in my opinion, I grew up Listing to these guys with my dad when we were workin on cars, driving or rockin out in the house! I know for a fact my kids will grow up listing to these guys, Iron Maiden,Metallica,Skid Row, Ozzy, Just all rock from the 80's!
