Not just the solo! Edward made a great song and as always, his rhythm guitar(whatever we call it, licks, riffs, etc.) is absolutely great, rich and tasty. Also, Sammy sings is so good and Mike's backing vocals are awesome

Incredible song

daipaulig agreed

daipaulig 👏👏👏👏 my favourite song of Balance

A friend of mine who killed himself spent two deployments in Iraq He loved this song .. we listened to this album; he said this describes what it is like to be lied to and serve lies... How it feels to be so alone. Yeah fucking Awesome this is!!

Right 🙏🎸🎶🤟🌹!

No kidding. Ed's playing, Alex's drumming, Mike's bass and back-up vocals, and Sammy Hagar at the top of his game, crazy great vocals!

Luca Ferrara damn right there. Saw them on this tour, amazing.

Best Van Halen album.

Don’t know if I did the song justice, but here’s my take on The Seventh Seal: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o99pg859ysjJXYk.html

Wildhoneypie1968 was he fired or did he leave?🤔 it’s still mind boggling to this day. 😂

@@5150Lupo The true answer is found on KZfaq in interviews. What I heard from Eddie is that he thought Sammy was being lazy about the production of their music and showing up late and stuff. I don't think that's the real reason, but that is what Eddie said (as I recall, and please don't take my word for it). Sammy's side of the story is that he was called up one morning and fired outright. Done, end of deal, and it was blunt and rude. And henceforth, they have been divided and haven't talked. But this is all here-say, and we as fans need to reserve a large quantity of self-proclaimed ignorance on these subjects. Eddie and Sammy are real people, and I don't want to say too much or act like I know them or know what's really going on. For all I know, they may talk to each other from time to time and don't want the general public to know about it. It's not our business! Paul McCartney and John Lennon had a serious rift going on, and we didn't know the details of that either. AND WE SHOULDN'T. They are people too, and they don't need us fans and the general public getting into their personal lives. LET THEM BE. Respect them as people. I'm not ranting at others - this is what I tell myself.

Yes, and you will love Chickenfoot. You probably already do :-)

Jesse Martinez I know it..I feel the same. It is truly an epic build to that point and just when you thought there isn't possibly anything else Ed could come up with, here it is. His father would have been in tears of happiness

Jesse Martinez - It's painfully Led Zeppelin.

You said it Brother! Enjoy them both and just love it and love life and get over it.

+Nash1965H and soulful...and distinctive..You hear him and know - It's Sammy!

Sammy Hagar has a sensational voice and his high notes ability are impeccable.

Why not a fan? He's a better singer than Dave.

@@Dcoxtxful ..I will totally eat my own words...I am not a Sam Halen fan/..Montrose .Solo Sammy.Good..then he donates lik,e 2 mil to kids cancer hospitals..SAMMY

Sammy says the communication between him and Eddie was horrible at this time but I think this album was just awesome it’s the best album out of all of them

+Pog0stickz For me the period between the Tokey concert(OU812 tour) to the Balance tour was amazing! Top 10 live band of all time! I will never forgive the fucking communists...they didn't allow me to travel abroad before i go to the army (which never happened anyway) to see them in Germany 1995 on the Rock am ring festival...

Yup!!

Uh... what was after balance? Pretty much nothing lol

Pog0stickz i agree except for Me Wise Magic, Humans Being, and Respect the Wind. i thought those were good

Balance is the number 1 CD of all time. It sold 220 million copies worldwide there has never been a CD that sold much 2nd in the world is Led Zepplin 90 million copies.

Absolutely correct. Eddie guitar was at top notch while on tour with Cherone

Wish I had seen them. I seen most rock acts live but never VH, and I really regret it. I bet they were Awesome. What era did you see them?

keith carman This album is just f'n great!!! Such a great sound. I saw this tour in Hartford Conn., man, I just loved it!! Can't believe it was 21 years ago. Glad to see Sammy and Mike play again post Van Halen, Chickenfoot!
