Lyrics:
WORKIN' THE CORNERS
WHEN THE RECORD DEAL HAPPENED
AND THE WEEK BEFORE I FOUND OUT
I WAS SLEEPIN' ON THE FLOOR
WITH MY NEW BEST GAL
IN A VERY VERY EMPTY HOUSE
WRONG KINF OF NON CONFORMIST
THATS THE CASE AND ALWAYS BE
IN A SLEEPING BAG FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE
MY GIRLFRIEND AND ME
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL
NEVER KNEW ME A BETTER TIME
AND I GUESS I NEVER WILL
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL
SOME SAY THEY WAS HAPPY THEN
ME, I'M HAPPY STILL
DOWN AT THE LOCAL CANTEEN
YOU KNOW THE SMELL OF FRESH SAWDUST
WHEN THEY FIRST THROW IT ON THE FLOOR
YOU HEAR A ROCKIN' LITTLE RHYTHM
FROM INSIDE THE RYTHYM KITCHEN
AS YOU'RE WALKIN' PAST THE CANTEEN DOOR
120 DEGREES, GOOD TIMES SPREADING LIKE HUMANITY
HERE'S WHAT I FOUND OUT
THIS ONE BELONGS IN THE BOOK OR IT OUGHTTA BE;
WE'LL DO A SHOT AS WE SAIL OUT!
THE AUTHORITY'S IMPLORED US
AND IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY
IN A SLEEPING BAD FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE
YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND ME
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL
ITS A DAMN GOOD STORY
AND THERE'S STILL MORE TO TELL
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL
SOME SAY TIME AIN'T GOT BETTER
MAYBE THEY STILL WILL.
YEAH WE KNOW ALL THE PUNCHLINES
BUT WE STILL LAUGH LIKE HELL
ONE THING NEVER CHANGES;
STILL CAN'T AFFORD THE BILL

Imagine the life he’s lived. He was essentially a super hero in the 70s and 80s. He must be looking back after his partner in crime has passed. I bet he thought those days would last forever. In spite of all the drama, Dave and VH will leave a faultless legacy of great rock n roll music.

@@jaywagner539 I disagree. There were some songs where the bass really added a lot besides just rhythm to the song (Runnin' with the Devil, So This is Love?, and others). Plus, his high harmony vocal contributed to one of the happier sounds that VH provided me as my middle/high school Prozac - the VH harmony. That was a wonderful sound and instantly makes me happy when I hear it.

[@Tiberius_Productions]

I’m sorry for your loss David. I’m glad you can see the beauty of the life you both lived together in hindsight. I think you grew up a lot in your solo years and I’m glad you and Ed could bury the hatchet before it was too late. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see Van Halen play the classics while I still could! You entertained the hell outta me and Ed inspired me for the rest of my life!

[@Tiberius_Productions]

Let me be square with you. No they weren’t close friends, but they were allies at one time and until Ed couldn’t. They wouldn’t have played together for 2 decades or more if they didn’t have some kind of mutual respect for each other. They weren’t friends, but they both wanted to be, they just aren’t the same types of people. Roth has an ego and Eddie had one as well, but they were happy to share the stage together and in my books that means they admired each other a great deal considering they were collaborators of each others careers lol. And with that bond between musical partners comes a kind of respect that goes beyond the ramifications of friendship. It’s understanding your musical chemistry, and that knowledge comes with the choice of whether chemistry is worth making a career path with them or not. And in Roth’s case, Ed chose to do it in the early 70’s, and he did again in 2006, and he trusted that instinct all the way through until he passed. Yeah, I would say they had a pretty big amount of respect for each other, and enough to warrant considering Ed’s death a loss for Roth. Unless you’ve had a great musical bond with another musician before, you’ll likely never understand where I’m coming from. Maybe you just don’t like Roth as a singer, and that’s fine, but Ed let him stick around because he respected Roth, and that’s just a plain fact lol. And Roth respected Ed more than one might think considering he worked with many other great guitarists over the years and still considered Ed one of the greatest guitarists ever. That’s quite a lot of respect from a guy as egotistical as Roth.

@Margaret McEvoy For Alex's Band. The uncalled hero is Michael Anthony ... Alex, Ed, and David had 'strong characters' that very likely will never do something together for a long time by the difference or divergences of 'aesthetic' criteria --- David was the 'character' that connected the brothers into the Local Bands Circuit in a histrionic and ambitious form that was not 'The Rock Star standards for those times' ... Alex and Eddie were always more 'Musicians' and maybe, taking David Histrionic Temperament with a Bit of Cynism ... but the thing was that David is extrovert, a Great Sales Man, 'Crazy' but Funny, visual-oriented ... and in their beginnings the guy with 'money' , PA and the will to bring Alex's band to any house party and local club for playing ... What was the role of Mike?? To compensate for the underlying leadership conflicts between Alex and David by been submitted to all of them and never making a persistent coalition with all of them for bullying the other one ... In VH Roth era there were 2 poles and a catalyzer, Alex + ED pole, David Pole, and Mike as the catalyzed ... without David, Alex's Band will never being called Van Halen ... and without Mike: Alex and David will not stay in the same Tour bus more than a month ... On VH Hagar era, Just 2 poles ... Alex + Ed pole and Mike and Sammy Pole ... where Alex + Ed worked as The Headmaster from the Legacy of the Van Roth Era ... and Sammy and Mike just, her new employees apportioning their required 'contribution' to 'Alex's Band' ... After Sammy was fired ... and fucked more Mike's creative rights and economic royalties over the band repertoire, and performances ... Cherone's failed affair for all the audiences ... It was not weird that Mikey becomes unnecessary for Alex and Ed ... Paradoxically, without Mike, that band would never exist as it was ...

He's Back !!!!

David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman of all time. I think he's got a lot of class for waiting to release this material. There is no Van Halen without Dave.

Eddie’s passing has hit me pretty hard, he has always been my favorite guitarist. It’s really been a somber time, 2020 has been a tough year. I never got to meet him but I saw VH in concert 11 different times in 4 different states over the years. - 7 times with David Lee Roth and 4 times with Sammy Hagar. Back in the days of General admission tickets, we would show up early and get front row. At the end of the Women and children first or the Fair warning tour concert Eddie reached over and handed me a guitar pick. I have it in our safe deposit box along with all my concert ticket stubs. I’m very grateful to have those memories of seeing VH in concert! Once after one of the concerts, we were waiting outside the backstage door and we saw Valerie Bertinelli with Eddie. We were probably 10 or 12 feet away but didn’t get to meet them, security kept everyone back. Even though there was only twenty or twenty five people there. Rest In Peace Edward Van Halen, you were one of a kind!

I did. The year was 1993. In front of the Palms. He was there hanging out with his female trainer, got an autograph. He was all smiles and congeniality. Still have that autograph somewhere....

I did also, I had my daughter with me she was nine months old and I wanted to ask him if I could take a picture of them together. I didn't even have to ask. As soon as he saw her he opened his arms and took her from me and played with her while I snapped pictures. It was back before digital cameras, so later that day I dropped the film off for one hour developing and waited impatiently. An hour later I went back to get the pictures praying to God that they came out good, I opened the envelope and I swear I couldn't believe what I saw. These were probably the best pictures ever taken with a 35 mm camera. There's one where she's basically chewing on the autograph he gave her another one just as she pulled his hat off his head and a bunch where he's just sitting with her holding her and smiling. He was fucking awesome with her. She's 23 now, and it was her that came into my room that morning with tears in her eyes and told me he was gone. He was definitely a class act, and as far as I'm concerned Dave just showed us that he is too ✌️
