Van Halen-RARE Song-The Fool And Me or The Fool In Me

Van Halen performs "The Fool And Me" in a rare, unreleased gem from http://ChrisGossett.com/VAN_HALEN.htm . Hear David Lee Roth and Edward Van Halen on this Robin Trower classic a.k.a. "The Fool In Me". Photography by official Van Halen photographer Neil Zlozower used with written permission. According to the Van Halen Encyclopedia "no known recordings of this exist" - well, here ya go. In 1998 when it was released apparently it wasn't had. I have it.

@badorphan channeling ROBIN TROWER actually.

I'd like to take Eddie Van Halen and trap him in my basement and make him play all kinds of shit. He's a great guitar player but you rarely ever hear him play outside his own universe. Wouldn't it be great if he just holed up and just ripped up everything from Jimi Hendrix to Roy Buchanan and everything in between? That would be one insane eargasm! I remember a bootleg tape years ago where he did some Chet Atkins stuff and some classical bits but never really anything from his immediate past.

Man, EVH had Trower's style down cold! Really great homage.

[tskrobola]

Wow...EVH nailed this classic but good!

[LongDrivesAtNight]

Cool....very cool

[macaholic100]

F%ckin' great song!

[penntocalli]

Eddie imitates Robin very well here!

[DelFamily]

Roth's voice sucks on this!! and the lyrics aren't even close..

[trexx63]

Wowie! This is one sensational recording!

From a big time Trower and Van Halen fan.

@luciddremz Very Cool! You just never know who you are going to end up talking to on here, do you? I love YouTube for that. I read that Dave had taken a career in healthcare, that's awesome. They are very much my favorite band (always have been), so much so in fact, I deemed them tattoo worthy ;D..have their VH logo on the back of my shoulder in EVH stripes. Love it..lol! :D..thanks for info.

@GottaLoveEddie Yes and Dad was a very rich retina eye surgeon, has or had a couple of awesome houses in Pasadena and Bradbury. He managed them in the beginning. There are plaques in thanks to donations in a couple of hospitals here and a picture of David when he was a nurses aide. I had to take a double take when I saw a picture of David as a nurses aide hanging in the hall of a local hospital lol. Michael still lives locally and is seen out & about. Think Ed's in Maliu. Not sure @ the other 2
