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

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.

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.
