A little Van Halen trivia
According to Eddie Van Halen, from which Rolling Stones song did he get the idea for the main riff of "Unchained"?
"It's so lonely at the top because it's so crowded at the bottom" - Diamond David Lee Roth
"The truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth" - Todd Wagner
"Women and Children First ... The REAL Van Halen III"

I'm not sure of the correct answer, yet the riff contains the same chords to "Brown Sugar".
I always thought the backing vocals to "Hear About It Later" sounded close to "Let's Spend The Night Together", and if you notice, the bass riff in "Push Comes To Shove" sounds an awful lot like a slowed down version of parts of "Miss You"."The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."George Bernard Shaw
