I love Without You. It's my favorite song on VH 3 and I like it better than a handful of Dave and Sammy era songs.

What Eddie's wearing in the video should've given us a clue. Never trust "pajama Eddie."

Whatever. It is a good song, and despite people's revisionist history, it actually did well on rock radio.

I really wanted to like Without You and I've relistened to it several times recently. I just can't find much that's redeeming about the song. It's overly long, with so many bridges and fills, for what? The chorus sounds like a plea; "There must be some kind of way that we can make it right".

Apart from the song itself, to me it has an association with the end of Van Halen as I knew it and that's probably harder to overcome.

Yep. It's an okay song from Van Halen's worst album. I can live ... without it.
