    Every time I see Asia & BJ react to VH, I have two different emotions.
    I can’t deal with Eddie’s loss (over two years now). I still get emotional when I realize I live in a world where Eddie is no longer. I still drive by Eddie and Alex’s childhood home, (Pasadena, CA) where all these songs were conceptualized. As a musician from a certain time period, I can attest, there will never be another. These songs you’re reacting to (1978 debut) were recorded in September/October of 1977 at Sunset Sound records in Hollywood, and to my ears, still sounds fresh and relevant. Eddie and the boys changed the game from that point forward. Literally every band tried to copy their formula, but never came close. Every singer wanted to have the charisma and swagger of David Lee Roth and every guitar player THOUGHT that they were Eddie. This became known as “80’s rock”.
    But my other emotions and thoughts are that I’m happy that their music will live on and I hope a newer, younger generation of fans discover their music.

    • @jhamler1
      @jhamler1 2 года назад +3

      Indeed. Nobody sounded like Van Halen, try as they might. Nuno Bettancourt and Extreme came closest which is probably why Gary Cherone joined VH for a New York minute. It's kinda like when Quentin Tarantino hit the scene. Lots of Hollywood directors tried to make the next Pulp Fiction but...
      Anyway, yes. VH (especially the DLR records) still holds up today. R.I.P. to the Dutch Master.

    This song is about a girl who has a one-night stand and lives to regret it. She wants a deeper relationship and feels used by the guys who hit it and quit. She considers writing him a letter asking him to call (remember, this is before texting), but she knows it will get her nowhere. David Lee Roth wrote the lyrics, which is a little ironic considering his many one-and-done conquests.

      I disagree. I don't know the history of the song, but for me, I think this is about a girl dating a guy that expects sex - like maybe it's date 3 or whatever and he expects it to payoff. She turns him down and feels bad about it. She doesn't want him. She doesn't want a one night stand. But she feels bad about rejecting him. She wants to soften the blow with a letter, but she knows it will just lead him on and he will think he has a chance to get with her. I hear nothing that implies that she slept with him.

Great riff, Singing, and of course Guitar. It will put a smile on your face FOR SURE. Another good one is their remake of a song Linda Ronstadt made famous, YOUR NO GOOD. The guitar work is just killer and that solo is one of Ed's BEST. They totally VAN HALENIZED the song. IT IS SUPREMELY BAD!!!!!!!
