Bit of a discussion over at links how this song would have sounded great with VH playing on it..
I like the groove & feel of the song.
Did Sam ever want to make it a VH song before he made it a solo song..?

The link you provided from letterman looks like Sammy is playing the red EVH wolfgang! Pretty cool that he just walks out with a guitar and played with the house band!

Agreed, this would have been a cool one for Van Halen to have covered. Rockin tune.

Its not a bad Sammy song, but it wouldn’t be a great Van Halen song, IMO.
