    Maybe the most underrated VH song of all-time. The evil guitar, the splashy high-hats, the thumping base, and great lyrics about a love gone wrong.
    What more do you need?

    The lick that starts at 2:45 - I remember that since I first heard the song and that was 25 years back - RIP Eddie there shall never be another one like you ever.

      @@allthework9812 Just not as much love in most youtube comments. Which is a shame, because Eddie only increased in skill in the Hagar years. Even when Dave came back for two songs in or around '96, you could tell in those songs just how much how much his talent has grown. I will miss him.

    This is going to be a long comment lol. So I had to sell one of my Peavey 5150's a while back (I still have one thank god) Anyway... when the guy came to pick it up we talked about Van Halen, he is a huge fan as am I. We started talking about Eddie through the years, videos, albums all that shit... He started shredding (the dude ripped) and then somehow we started talking about guys on UA-cam. We both had seen your videos and both were/are convinced you nail the covers to a T. It was funny though how we both knew it was the same person, he described a guy sitting with an axis(s). I knew instantly. I own one of the EVH Music Man's myself, great playing guitars. I have a pretty crazy VH collection (gear/vinyl/shirts etc) Anyway... Killer cover as always. When I want to learn a tune, I turn to your vids. Thank you.
