    Once, in an interview, when asked if he was a good singer when he first started singing, Dave said, "I always knew I was going to be a rock and roll singer. It never occurred to me whether or not I was any good."

      Too true. I had just recently commented on a thread that one of my first rock concerts was Van Halen's 1980 World Invasion tour (row 4 on the floor but up against the crush barrier the entire show). The highlight of course was when Eddie flicked his guitar pick at me. RIP Mr. Van Halen and thank you for sharing your musical gifts with the world. I feel fortunate to have been in this timeline to hear the best music ever created, 60s - 80s.

      David Lee Roth said in an interview as anyone who knows a decent amount of the bands history would know that this song was a result of the club playing days and even before. They use to play bars, backyard keggers and private parties , weddings , .grand openings of malls , muffler shops , pretty much anything this side of street corners with a change bucket in front of them . Not only was it anything goes , it was also anywhere you want it that they would do , Eddie once said yeah for a time we were doing things like loading up all the equipment, spending $30 in gas , to drive an hour or more one way , to a gig that paid them $50 - $60 for the gig and if they were lucky the would get fed and all the beer they could drink ( but not always) and after gas and a few misc expenses would split the left over $20 bill ., 4 ways and that’s if some equip didn’t breakdown , or one of theirs cars didn’t breakdown , anyway you get the picture . I would still love to get ahold of a copy of the band playing ( Get Down Tonight) as it use to be a staple of their set . But anyway I’m gettin out there . So Dave once said they played a Mexican Biker Bar or community Center , and someone thought it would be a good idea to thrown a little Latin music in there for the crowd , what started out to be a song dripping with Spanish flavor , a kind of light poppy
      Ricky Ricardo BaBa Lou type of thing wound up being Jamies Cryn kinda thing. Unfortunately for our south of the border friends and their associates , about the only thing Latin that remained in the final on the album version of the song was Alex’s BaBa Lou like drum intro . But the song was a result of traveling all over to play any place , to play in front of anybody , anytime for practically any amount,. ! True nomads , faithful Gypsies to the cause. What’s really a trip to know is that from about 1976- thru 78 , they were a small venue garage band basically that had 10 times more talent and character than 9 out of 10 acts that had “made it” that you were hearing on the radio ! But you can’t hold a Volcano Power 10 force of Nature inside of a Power 5 container for very long . They were notoriety and financially starved and when it was decided to water plant , it sucked up thousand gallons of water without a blink , due to their professionalism that they had mastered in all of those hole in the wall “ hey baby doll , what’s a package like you doing in a place like this “. Joints . A true quartet forged in the ovens of diversity ! For absolute certain , there never has been and never will be anything remotely like them . If the rest of the world wants Led Zeppelin ( who I dearly love to death ). , then take them , I’ll take Van Halen . That’s Van Halen , you know , the meteor that hit planet earth in 1978 , causing more Global changes than the meteor that hit the Yucatán peninsula , wiping out the Dinosaurs 65,000,000 years ago !

    I worked with Michael Anthony's brother, Bob (Sobolewsky), in Monrovia, Ca. One day, Michael dropped by the building we were working at. He came to give his kid brother a brand new Chevy Blazer for his birthday.
    Michael Anthony is a great guy and very approachable. I chatted with Michael often, while he was living in Glendora, raising his family, like me. It was a shame that Eddie turned on him and gave him the boot.
    By the way, Michael never bad-mouthed Eddie. Michael is a saint.

      @Proton2112 I have heard that, but those transgressions against MA were so significant, that it was always going to be tough to pull off. I was a late teen right when the first albums were coming out, and dug them from Day 1. After reading Noel Monk's book, and hearing from Sammy and a couple of other rock legends about JUST how awful the brothers were, I almost didn't want the reunion. Insult to Michael. Oh, ok, so now you are 60 and you suddenly regret brutally f'n me over ? Take a hike guys....

    Truly the greatest guitarist that ever lived. His tone, the way he plays the rhythm and leads. His guitar sounds like its singing the verse. His solo just crazy fire! That descending riff, choking that guitar into submission to give him the notes that makes this song ROCK, he' makes that guitar literally talk, cry and moan. Bad ass, Eddie. Just so BAD ASS. So blessed to have grown up in this era of music. Thank you EVH. Thank you.

Alex playing drums like the hammer of the gods so good that Tone Loc sampled the opening drum line. Then there's Eddie out there making it cry and sing. One of the best songs on the album.

Van halen was a complete package, dave worked that stage like no one that time period, sexy but badass at the same time what he lacked in vocals he made up for in presentation.

For that reason, I think the band (and Eddie in particular) really helped shape the person I am today, and I found Eddie's death so devastating not only because he was so talented and legendary, but because I feel a strong personal connection to his music after it helped me so much during an extremely dark time in my life. Once again, I'm very sorry for your loss. Like you said, it's good that you found out after the concert, but that doesn't make it any less tragic.

      I thought so until I watched and listened to him at three different concerts in the 1980's. Crappy stage behavior and demeanor, too high to sing well and generally insulting to his fans in attendance at the show, but the rest of the performers were good. DLR is today an idiot in full bloom and now withering. Like Madonna and many other even much younger "stars" he should hide out and just live normally til the end to shield himself from further embarrassment.
