This riff from :41 to 1:15 is one of my favorites of Eddie's, and it never gets talked about. IIRC, he played this on an actual miniature sized guitar (Les Paul?) built just for him and this song....
I loved Diver Down. At the time, it seemed most of the VH fans I knew didn't really like the album much, but it was one of my favorites. Thanks for posting this, it's been a looong time since I heard that! [Reply]

It wasn't between "band members", it was a decision made by the Van Halen brothers to strip him of Publishing Rights and force him to become an "Employee".
He hasn't received any royalties since 2003. [Reply]

One of the best solos I have ever witnessed was Michael Anthony on a bass shaped like a Jack Daniel's bottle. He tore that thing up like nothing I have never heard out of a bass before or since.
I always thought they simply fired him to give Wolfie a spot. :-) [Reply]
