[Van Hagar]

Give us a minute there, oh impatient one. Believe it or not, although this isn’t a feel good song by any stretch, it’s the first one I remember just grabbing hold of me as I was hitting I think around 6th grade.

Then a few years later, I remember this one giving us all a thrill, partly because it’s a good, bouncy song, and partly because Daryl Hall says ‘bitch’ several times in it, which was mind blowing at the time.

Then, I progressed on to this. I’ll never, ever forget when a buddy of mine who was a good local guitar player played the first Van Halen album for me. Never heard anyone like Eddie. Then I saw them in Knoxville when I was 17, and to this day it it still maybe one of the wildest nights I ever experienced.
