Van Halen III - "That's Why I love You" (unreleased unfinished demo track)

This is nothing fancy, Just alotta clips to the short lived Van Halen III. It was just something I put together for a friend. I spent like 20 minutes on it. I was told that the audio was gbetter than he had heard on the boots he owned. I remember getting this one in mp3 form sometime in '02. and it did sound better than on my boots as well. I thougbht I'd share and see what you think.

Too many have been critical of VH III and need to really listen to it. Granted How Many Say I was not the best choice for the album. But Eddie's guitar playing on III is amazing on this disc. GREAT stuff!

How Many Say I reminds me of what this album was and That's Why I Love You reminds me of what this album could have been.

If this song was on VH3 you would have had another Gary record.No doubt about it some of eddies best work.The new record also has some of eddies best work.

Ive always said this album has some of eddie's best guitar work, very experimental from older material.

VH III is an awesome album, and I've been a fan since the beginibg and saw them 10 times!

Always looked at VHIII as being the EVH solo album. He controlled it so much. He played bass on most tracks and drums on some. From that perspective it's a good album but not a great VH album. I wish they would have done one more with Cherone. VHIII is just as good as Chickenfoot if not arguably better. True EVH fans know Ed was playing great then. The live versions are better than the CD. You got to admit it's better than the '04 Greatest hits songs and tour.

Love this song!  This would have made the Van Halen 3 CD so much better. Went to their concert in 98 and it was awesome. Too bad Warner Brothers did not give them a chance at a 2nd CD. If the songs would have been more like this, it would have sold well!!!

@5150DC1984 I agree dude....totally.....rock on!!!!!

I am a HUGE Van Halen fan, one of the biggest who's ever lived. And i was very reluctant to buy this record, but I'm glad that i did. Eddie's playing is spot on, and some of the best that I've ever heard. People are too critical on Gary Cherone. He had to fill the shoes of DAVID LEE ROTH and SAMMY HAGAR. Not everyone can do it, and he did, quite well. Do yourselves a favor: buy the album, give it a few listens, and you'll find that you've been missing out on a great album by the best band ever

"From Afar" and “Year to the Day” might be some of the best rock songs ever…too bad this album gets looked over so much.
