    Remember when men were allowed to make songs about wanting women without being called chauvinists or creeps? I miss alpha male presence like this in today's music. Im so grateful to have grown up in the era I did were we can take a joke and appreciate simple things.

    Yes Van Halen was an awesome band growing up. I don't care to hear peoples opinions about who was better Dave or Sammy. They both produced songs with the band to make songs each one of us know to make us feel like we are part of the band. Either singing with Dave or Sammy or playing air guitar thinking we were Eddie. We can't forget about Michael with his Jack daniels bass or Alex behind the drums. This band produced many songs we know by heart and reminds us the great times we had to experience Eddie Van Halen and his God giving talent. Thank you EVH

      @@tfjack97 I would agree with one caveat. The album with Gary Chevrons was terrible, and not one song is memorable or has a good hook. That being said, I have heard one song in rough form they recorded with Gary that never made it to an official release and it is better than anything on Van Halen III. It would have been better if they had toured with Gary before recording an album.

    Absolutely blew me away. Thinkin about it still gives me chill bumps to this day. Was one of the absolute most best times in my life.
    The cocaine was awesome, the pvssy was hot and wet and the rock ‘n’ roll was kick ass.

      Did you know it is the only song that Eddie didn’t write alone? Sammy and Eddie wrote it together and even the lyrics are a true story. Sammy and Ed lived next door to each other and Sam was gettin it on with a lady upstairs and Eddie was throwing pebbles at his window. So Sam came down and Ed said he had this riff he wanted Sammy to hear even if it was 2am. 😂... They sat on the porch and Eddie played it then Sammy and him collaborated on it over the next 2 or 3 hours. Then Sam went to bed and his woman was too tired to pick up where he left off. True story! 😂❤️
