    Little Guitars is in my top three VH tunes, pretty much all the time.

    Oh yeah... I forgot all about that one. Don't know where it is now... shitty.

    What I like about the current one is that Ed's in it as well. Kind of suggests they weren't always mortal enemies. (That, and they look like just a common pair of headbanger buds, chowing down on burgers in a McD's parking lot; who'd have know they were destined for greatness...)

    It's my all-time favorite song.

    Diver Down was the album that got me into Van Halen.

    Although my favorite Diver Down song is "The Full Bug", I have to say that "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William now)" shows a band that;

    A) Had serious chops to bring it down and swing
    B) Made it enjoyable to listen to yet another yet different cover
    C) Showed just how damn tight they were as a foursome
    D) Had the BIGGEST FUCKING BALLS to even record soemthing like that !!!

    If you take out all the friggin covers on Diver Down, it's actually a damn good album. They should have waited and recorded a few more originals to go on that album, then released the sucker. Then it may have been one of, if not the best, VH album.
