I don't particularly like tequila anyhow. It's way too sweet. Sure I've done the shots with salt & lime while partying with friends.....but I'll take Kentucky Bourbon over Tequila any day of the week.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.

As usual, Sammy is full of shit. Van Halen was Van Halen long before they met Ted Templeman,and it was Dave who named the goddamn band. Also, every song that appears on Van Halen's first album was already written long before the album was recorded, most of them played in club gigs for years, and previously recorded on various demo tapes. I think "Jamie's Cryin'" was the only thing they specifically wrote for the album. So no, he had nothing to do with the length or tempo of the songs.
Ted was a producer, and a damn good one, which is evident on the Montrose album as well as the 6 pack, and hell, he even managed to make "F.U.C.K." almost tolerable, though the fact that he was never willing to work with either Sammy Hagar or Eddie Van Halen again after that, really speaks volumes.
BTW, really classy as usual, Bette.....supposedly paying tribute to your dead friend Ronnie, and you still gotta get in the digs at Van Halen. Nice going, douchebag.Eat Us And Smile

Because Van Halen had such an extensive back catalog of songs, I figured Ted may have come into the studio and said, "OK, uptempo songs, fairly short in length, like Montrose. Whadda you boys got?"
Not saying that VH were at all influenced by Montrose, but maybe more the recording techniques with hints to song structure and tempo that Montrose may have used.Comment
