@WS6 1997 yes, true. But the vast majority of VH fans totally overlooked this album, simply because it wasn’t like anything they’d done before, which is sad, because there are some great songs on here, and Eddie had some amazing tones, and playing on this album. “Different stuff”, yes, but that doesn’t mean it was bad. Severely underrated VH album, IMO. *for the record, my favorite VH album is II.

I was really looking forward to VHIII being a huge Extreme and VH fan. The problem I had is it didn't sound like a Van Halen record. The music didn't have that poppy, edgy and catchy sound you would expect from VH. The vocals sounded mushy??? No great hooks (an Eddie signature) I do not blame Gary for that record. Nothing leaves 5150 Studios without EVH's stamp of approval. It sounded like Ed wanted to reinvent the band...again. Van Halen 3.0

He truly is! The whole band is. After the band stood for a couple of hours of 100 meet and greet photos, they had to encounter me 😅 the last person on line. My phones flash wouldn't behave and we had to take the pic over and over. They were so patient. Nuno graciously signed a pic I had printed of him and Malala from the Nobel Ceremony where he performed with Steven Tyler. I mentioned that I had a distant relative who was a Nobel Laureate and Gary engaged me in conversation about him. He knew exactly who he was and asked some pretty specific questions about him. That got the attention of the other guys. Gary is very thoughtful and insightful and that comes through in his writing.

Walked into a mall while working in Boston. Went in specifically to check out the latest edition of the VH Inside Magazine and on my way to the bookstore I glanced over and told my buddy that I thought I just saw Anthony Keidis from the Chili Peppers. Anyway I walked into the bookstore and after reading the new VH mag I began to look around and don’t I run right into Gary Cherone! So who I thought was Anthony Keidis was actually Gary… I told him I was there specifically to check out the new VH mag and that now I was bumping into him. We shot the shit for about 15 minutes. From everything to his time in VH and post VH, he was very personable. He was shopping for his parents Christmas presents. Great guy. Classic VH is my spirit animal!!! Lol..

Great interview!!!! I remember when VH3 was coming out. It was definitely a big deal at the time. They announced that they were going to do an album launch live on the radio. They had an MC guy doing intros with all 4 members talking about the new material, music videos, etc. I recorded that launch on cassette tape. I believe they only played 4-5 songs off the album. They eventually came to Houston at the Cynthia Woods pavilion. It was a fantastic show. Completely blown away by how good Gary sounded in the band. VH3 is definitely not everyone's fav. If you happen to be a guitar player, then you know exactly how good the album really is. I have a feeling that Ed's drinking started to resurface and that is what led to Gary's departure. Just guessing though. Would have been nice to have had at least one or more albums with Gary. Cheers!!

I read that they had about 3/4 of the follow up to "III" totally finished and in the can. That's probably why Gary is being so coy here. He knows that there ls more than just a few rough demos. When execs at Warner's came in and said that they weren't happy with what they heard and wanted the band to go back in and start from scratch. I don't know who they were producing the tracks with, but Ed got frustrated and pulled the plug on the whole thing, told Gary that it wasn't going to work out and sent him on his way. That was the beginning of Ed's deep depression and when he fell off the wagon. Such a shame too. Maybe Al and Wolfgang will find some time to dig out that stuff, have it remastered and put it out like Led Zeppelin did with "Coda". I'm sure there's some stuff with Sam and Dave that went on the cutting room floor too, that could be added as well.

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with the suggestion and along with yourself believe this would be a tremendous benefit to future musicians/drummers, the reasons are obvious as to why AVH has stepped out of the spotlight completely: He lost his baby brother, with whom he had the closest bond more than any other human being, achieved eternal success and became a household name, traveled from Holland to Pasadena, CA and learned English and music together, wrote and rehearsed music millions of times, respected the band and took it as serious as a Doctor takes surgery and, trusted no one else. AVH is still in mourning and will be for the rest of his life.

Great interview. Gary was right about the direction of the band, they should have toured first then recorded the 3 album after the tour. They were on to something live wise. Just check out any of the shows from that era on KZfaq. The Sydney Australia show that was shown on MTV was a good example. Great set. Gary is incredible live. Great vocal range. It was just too much of a departure of the Van Halen formula for the fans to take. I’m a fan but you could definitely nitpick some things. Spot on when Gary said it should be remixed. A different producer would have made a difference.

I don't care what anyone says that album has some great Eddie Van Halen riffs, good stuff

"Thats why I love you" was a great song and should've been on VH 3. Probably would've been a hit

I bet if that guy who did the sound production on the Balance album did the sound for VH3 it would sound absolutely awesome. I like 3, there's some great guitar work on there. Gary belted out some crazy vocals on there too.

III is absolutely one of Van Halen’s best, and probably their most inventive album since Fair Warning (no need for modesty on that). And Gary’s wordsmithing is _criminally_ under-appreciated… One I Want is 100% lyrically one of the best Van Halen songs put to tape. Damn shame that they never did a follow up; I was so looking forward to it back in the day, and pretty damn bummed when Gary left the band. But hey, at least we have Six coming soon, so more Cherone awesomeness on the way! 🤘😎🤘

Exactly. It's thinking man's heavy metal, almost prog metal. The everyday listener will hear One I Want and just hear stupid, disjointed lyrics. A thinking man will hear One I Want and hear a man colorfully describing to his significant other how she completes him by drawing comparisons to other people and the things that complete them

Extreme is a great band. It's a shame they didn't get discovered earlier.

That's Why I love You should have been included, but I want to know if there is a completed version of that. Such a good song in the form it is now, that would've been a single akin to Without You.

Gary is super cool. Met him once shortly after their first album. He was totally approachable and very down to earth. Extreme even in the club days was terrifyingly good! Tight band, professional and very confident in what they were doing. Awesome interview!

I’m blessed to have seen VH with all 3 singers and enjoyed them all! Also a big Extreme fan. Gary is a great singer.

Great interview. Gary seems like a great guy. Love the new single, and enjoyed him on VH3. I loved From Afar and Fire in the Hole.

Great interview, really enjoyed it. And I would absolutely love to hear a remixed VHIII and any new material. I’m a big fan of that album, but I agree it is a “harsh” sounding album. A remix would really bring it to the next level and get it some new fans.
