If you don’t accept and believe in Jesus then you have to pay for your own sins and that is hell. God is too holy and just to let us in heaven since we’re all sinners that’s why he sent Jesus.

@Brandon Near Sammy had a couple good albums with VH (I preferred him solo) and you are right they matured. If it was with Sammy or they would have done it on their own is a good question. It was pretty obvious that Ed would have. You also have to keep in mind, OU812 would not have sold in the time Women and Children First came out (1980). They were a young, raw band that partied all night played all day. Not middle aged married men who were raising families. It's like comparing a baseball player from the 1950's to today's specialized athlete. It's a different time and different place. I do know one thing. Without Dave's PA equipment back in the day VH would have never made it to a stage.

+Ron R seen every VH tour 1978 - present, HAGAR was better than GARY CHERONE though, but ROTH era was the best, VH Sold more albums with ROTH and LIVE they were untouchable from 1978-1984. It's not that I hate Hagar he just don't do ROTH Covers any justice, they have 2 different styles, Van Hagar was more Lovey Dubey Ballads, all the girls loved it when I put "Why Cant This Be Love" on the stereos at Partys yet the Guys were like FUCK THIS put PANAMA or AINT TALKIN BOUT LOVE on and lets PARTY!!! I preffered Hagar in MONTROSE!!!

I've never heard Sammy sing this song. He did a great job!! I've always preferred the original, but with Sammy its like getting 2 bands in one. Every single album Van Halen ever put out was stellar.
