          Ah yes, I remember the cover of that album, the cannon and the fat guy.

          The fat guy, was he supposed to symbolize the fans, or VH's career?

              I always thought the fat guy was a symbolic reference to Sammy.

                    I believe that was a tribute to Sammy.

                      LOL!

                      I've just realised that I don't even know what the cover looks like.

                      That's one of the good things about living in Europe...

                      That and never hearing Right Now on the radio...

                        Right Now: I'm trying to figure out why VH3 was made in the first place?

                          Something very phallic about that cover. By the way, isn't that album out of print? Let's hope so.

                            I did not see any symbolism in that cover, only an old photo probably outside of copyright period which they got to use free or real cheap!

                            Doesn't make any difference if it's out of print, since it did not sell there are shitloads sitting on the shelves. It's easier to find than the remastered fair warning or diver down for chrissakes!

                              I 've always thought the same. Same as 5150: the strong man trying to lift and "carry" VH was supposedly Roth. Turn to the back cover, there's the strong man on the floor, fallen over and dead, with the cracked VH bauble released from the strong man's grip and rising like a phoenix to reveal the "true" VH.

                              The cover of VH3 shows the fat man ready and waiting to take on the power of the oncoming cannon ball, but turn it around and there's the fat guy, fallen over and conquered, and looking befuddled and beaten).

                              Whereas Eat 'Em just shows Dave being Dave - colorful, savage, ROCKIN'!!!

                              The only thing interesting about Van Halen without David Lee...is referencing Dave every step of the way.
