“Damn Good” is one of my favorite DLR songs in his catalog. Such a nostalgic vibe to it. Always makes me think of all the damn good times I’ve had…

@humanactivated1017 25 дней назад

That song was one of the songs they made me realize Vanhalen was responsible for all the Van Halen hits

@BubbaZen10 22 дня назад

GOD I LOVE THAT SONG. It's how i feel about getting to see them back when it was all fun

The solo in Hot Dog and a Shake was a game changer too.

Vai gives ROTH the respect he deserves. Damn Good gives the Van Halens the respect they deserve. Roth told the brothers he loved them with that song.

@Me-qp8vz 20 дней назад

Damn good was about that only woman DLR truly loved. Nothing to do with the VH brothers.

You can't get this stuff no more. Was about the VH brothers.

Steve always talks so positively about working with Dave. I’m sure he had to deal with a lot. That just shows you how much class and respect Steve had/has towards his peers!

@TJ_775 26 дней назад

I agree, a respectful classy guy. Let's not forget that Steve Vai became a megastar immediately by joining Dave and got guitar endorsements , lots of exposure and lots of money..... that's a lot to be thankful for

@aimp4598 23 дня назад

_" I’m sure he had to deal with a lot."_ Why? Steve frequently talks about how much he _benefited_ and _learned_ from DLR. Why would you assume he was difficult to work with?

@BubbaZen10 22 дня назад

While working with Frank was cool, and more substantial musically, Dave made him huge man, and he knows that. He's smart enough to never bite the hand that fed he and his family so well no matter what. Seeing him with Dave for Skyscraper, standing right in front of him was pretty fkn epic.. Dave surfed over our head! No, not crowd surfed. He was on a surf board flying over us!

@AD-ui2pz 22 дня назад

@@TJ_775exactly -Dave made Vai an instant household name to millions overnight - VH was the biggest rock band on earth and Steve was brought in to replace Ed in Dave’s all star band so we all took notice!

Damn Good was a very good song by the way. Thanks for the short but very informative excerpt.

@hazor777 25 дней назад

I’ve met Steve before . It was very brief after a G3 show - but he was very cordial and welcoming. He didn’t have any attitude like he was ready to go relax after the show etc. , didn’t give off any sense of annoyance of having to pretend to welcome a fan etc.. Really nice guy , signed a T-shirt I had , asked me a couple questions etc.. . I’m not the type to be creepy and love bomb or try to milk a situation for everything - it was all short n sweet . I’ve always had major respect for him : before and since .

I saw DLR with Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan on bass at the mid south Coliseum in Memphis back in 1986. I tell you it was one hell of a show.

@streamofconsciousness5826 24 дня назад

So working with Dave was like working with anybody. Give and Take. I guess the takeaway is that Dave treated his Band like Equals and was a real artists, he was not just throwing euphemisms and Stadium Anthem ready rah rah lines together. "She lay in waiting till she gets older, for fear of leaving tracks in the winter's snow..." AHHH Lazy eyes in the summer sun fresh from out of town, now she's working on the streets, shake them poor boys down".

Steve Vai has cool stories. In 1991, David Lee Roth recorded an album in Little Mountain Sound Studios, Vancouver. Produced by Bob Rock. RIP Brett Tuggle. Before working with David Lee Roth, Tuggle worked with Rick Springfield and Andy Taylor

@seamusburke639 12 дней назад

I always felt DLR dictated a lot of the style and structure when he was in Van Halen. I assume that was also Sammy Hagar's job, hence why the two versions sounded so different. When Eddie tried to write songs on his own, it just didn't work.
