For the longest time I used to not like this song but after listening to Diver Down a few days ago I started digging it. It's been in my head ever since. Dave's voice seems to fit well with jazz.

Probably the only Vh song that I can singalong with. The others are a bit too high for my range~

Shows the true diversity of classic VH. Who else could kick your ass with something like "Light Up The Sky", then turn around and do a "Big Bad Bill" style song without battin' an eyelash. This is why they are/were the best. Let's see a band like Creed or Staind attempt something that daring. Don't think so.

Precisely. It was different, but still cool. Unlike VH3 for instance, which was different in a very bad way. It was all just part of the magic of the original true Van HALEN.
"One of the reasons I left Sabbath was because Van Halen was blowing us off the stage every night. It was embarrassing." -Ozzy Osbourne
"When I first heard "Runnin' With The Devil" on the radio, I was stunned and found myself dizzy, walking through my high school hallways thinking, "What was THAT?!"
Eddie Van Halen was so innovative and kicked so much ass, and David Lee Roth was for a time indisputably the Greatest Man in America.
If aliens came down and challenged us to a Battle of the Bands to decide the fate of Planet Earth, I would feel very confident putting early Van Halen forward as our champion." -Tom Morello
"There is no heir to the throne of Eddie Van Halen. Nobody sits on that throne. Nobody takes that throne. Here's why it's different with Eddie: when a great guitar player passes, you just move on to another, right? But in this case, Eddie wasn't just a 'guitar player'. We're talking about a guy who changed culture and how we play guitar. He was like an alien coming in and fucking everything up so much that even the legends beforehand are like, 'Okay .. what is happening here? What sorcery is this?'" -Nuno Bettencourt

Nope. Hardly any of today's bands show any diversity. You think they would attempt a hard rock boogie, let alone do a Big Bad Bill? I think not.Originally posted by Frank N.Strat:

And MR.JAN VAN HALEN (GRHS) kicks major ass on this tune, that is when you realize were the magic in the brothers came from.
"I could call it anything, but the only word I can think of is Brown. It's just a warm sound. Warm, big, majestic" - Eddie Van Halen on his Tone
"Van Halen is definitely a ladies band, and I´ve got the Polaroids to prove it". - David Lee Roth
WOLFGANG did the IMPOSSIBLE, he brought back VAN HALEN, DEAL WITH IT.

Songs like this one and Could This Be Magic? really show off VH's diversity. Like Dave said in his book, "Classic Van Halen could sing Happy Birthday and make it rip" (paraphrased)
"You gotta do me a favor and let these (people) have a good time, alright? A little bit of (vulgar term for breast) and their hands in the air ain't gonna hurt anybody" - Nikki Sixx
"Van Halen is 'Get the fuck off the sidewalk if ya don't like our drivin' kinda music!" - David Lee Roth
"We get to the hotel, there's people partyin' in the parking lot, people gettin' down in the elevator, wow! I swear to God I had this one chick, this chick was poundin' on my door, she was kickin' and screamin' at my door 'til about 6:30 this morning. Finally, I just said, 'Fuck it!' and let her out of my room!" - David Lee Roth
