Songs like this really show how good Dave was as a singer/lyrics/performer!!Sam never had a thing on Dave!!!!Just do the math.

Dave's book is worth the read for any VH fan. Sammy is awesome as well. I like both incarnations. To bad they can't work together double the music at half the price. I'd like to see it happen.

I love the swing feel of this tune. Al and Ed are lagging the 8th notes just slightly.

It seems to me that David bites the microphone constantly

Balance was what turned me off to VH after being a fan for so many years. It sounded like they were just going through the motions. I saw them on that tour for the 5th or 6th time, and found it to be the weakest they ever sounded. Didn't get to see Roth with the band (too young), but these videos blow away the Sammy era shows I saw...

I hate not being born in these years... :'(

@Abadox88 Totally agree. Ed's playing was out of this word during the 1995 tour.

i agree, there were no stand out songs, and the mixing was just a sign of the times unfortunately, the 90s started compressing sounds to shit, im sure the record company wanted to "keep current" with production styles. But you dont find eddie to have a really cool style on that album? i mean.. i think that was his final peak in playing, style wise, since the '84 album. Live, he also had a kick ass solo during that tour!!

@Abadox88 Personally, I find Balance to be VH's weakest effort. There weren't any particulary stand out songs, and I'm not a fan of the way the alnum was mixed. To loud, compressed, and is very far away from the "live sound" Van Halen started with. Humans Being, released after Balance, is an excellent song, and was really Hagar's last horah. Van Halen 3 was like a different band.

@zenphil

relax buddy again you miss the obvious sarcasm. VH's coolest album in my opinion is Fair Warning.

I have the whole dave era catalogue, but "Balance" (1995), which is with sammy of course, is a really interesting album. Listen to it. if you cant get past your hatred for mr hagar, then you are the idiot that has no taste in music. Eddie was at the peak of his playing on that album. Give it a listen.

@Abadox8 Excuse my ignorance. Secrets never made the top 40, but that crap song did. Think? OK. I think you have no taste in music. I think you like generic shit. I think you have no taste. Go see Sammy, but stay away from Van Halen shows, cause thay aint gonna play that garbage ever again. IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
