This is my all time favorite song.

The music video really makes you think.

The better years of VH! Still one of the all time best Rock bands ever (even if Eddie is losing his mind).

I head rumors, I think it would be more truthful to say that Mike left to jam with Sammy as he has been for the last few years, he wants to play music not wait around for Eddie to get out of his slump Wink

I just wish Eddie would get his act together and Van Halen do another album, what would be awesome would be a instrumental album! Don't worry about a singer just the band jamming would be killer!

I know you did not just say that... Tongue

EVERYONE knows Van Halen was at their best with David Lee Roth. Wink

That's coming from a guy who (literally) has every single thing Van Halen ever put out, from EP's to the bootleg recordings from their Japan concert...

Still, even if it is Van Hagar, I have always thought this one of the most inspirational songs I have ever heard. I listen to it when I need to get motivated

It's the song that made me want to learn guitar. Coming from a drummer, that's saying something. Grin

Never seen the vid for it. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Kevin you have the Gene Simmons produced Van Halen demo? Pre-VanHalen 1 release.

If not highly recommend finding a copy some great stuff, and most I like better than the actual official releases.

Also news is as of Oct 27th, appears rumors are true of a original line up reunion with DLR is being staged for 2007!

I sincerely doubt that. Eddie Van Halen has burned his bridges with both David Lee Roth AND Sammy Hagar and I doubt that anything will improve any time soon. That's what you get when you try to play both ends against the middle.

Good point, and with Micheal Anthony kicked out, it will never happen. Sad

Hear what the demo or the reunion news?

The demo I own, the reunion info came from here, usually spot on with reporting:

http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=5070

They are also Nominees for induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, coincidence?
Of course real rock fans know the Hall of Fame is a joke. Wink

Especially since after 30+ years of trend setting Rock and Roll KISS is still denied entry. Roll Eyes

Are you referring to KISS being denied what millions of fans think they deserve?

Last I heard the KISS Army was going to protest, the Hall of Fame supposedly doesn't think that KISS had contributed to the way Rock and Roll music is today. Go figure.

Although such "ground breaking artists " such as Patti Smith and Grandmaster Flash to name a few of the useless have been.

When you really look at it, like KISS or not they changed the way Rock and Roll is, how it is performed on stage down to how to marketing it. There isn't one band today that can say they never were influenced in anyway by them, and chances are not any band that hasn't covered one of their songs Wink

If you were referring to Mike leaving VH some say he was booted but it is more likely he left to play music, which he wasn't doing with VH, so why not go jam with Sammy?

1) Kiss hasn't really made any major contribution to Rock and Roll, the same as Led Zeppelin or Van Halen has. Eddie Van Halen started music by playing the piano, and it shows. He invented 'tapping', and his piano skills transfer to the guitar. Van Halen as a whole, was really one of the first Hair Metal bands that started a huge revolution in the 80's with bands such as Guns N Roses. Get my point? Roll Eyes

2) It really is a shame that Mikey was kicked out of VH, and Eddie shouldn't have done it. Even it was his own son replacing him. Sad

But Mikey and Sammy playing together is a great thing. Grin

There is my rant. Wink
