Dear buddies,

after 20 years..it’s time to comment about VAN HALEN 3…

Many of you might say…” hey, it was the worst Van Halen album ever”… ok…

But going back at that time,..I remember I was waiting for that album…and in the end..I liked it.

VH III was exactly what and how Ed wanted to be. Period.

Gary did a great job, with his own voice… The problem is that you cannot pretend to hear Gary singing like Sammy…or Dave .

It was a good record to me, and the live performance was quite good, in my modest opinion…August 16th Holmdel New Jersey, PNC Art Bank Center..

Musically speaking, I really liked Without you , One I want, Fire in the hole, Dirty water dog, One, a Year to the day, How Many say I, Ballot or the bullet.

And by the way, I bought 2 copies…The official version, plus the special edition…( with no new music in it)..

…last but not least…the unreleased ” THAT’S WHY I LOVE YOU” is still one of my favourite VH leftovers ever ( along with Crossing over – from the Balance Album) .

I don’t know what do you think about VH3…but I still think it has some good songs in it.

you liked, “How Many Say I??” lol ha ha
well I agree with you on pretty much everything except that song lol
cool album for sure but HMSI……. eh… well… um I guess I could have done without that one lol I agree with you that the unreleased Thats Why I Love You was awesome and should have made the cut and ABSOLUTELY at least should have cut HMSI out lol. I also liked the version Mitch Malloy did of that song before Gary.

I have a copy on DVD (but don’t currently have a DVD player), so some people here certainly have it.
