Oh, the good old days! We were so free and just loving life when this great music hit the scene. My roommate Paul, who has recently moved on to a better life would emulate David Lee Roth's moves. We were young and dumb. Early twenties and living above a bar. One night our landlord came a knocking. Usually, he had a look frustration on his face. But this time he was smiling. He told me, " I never thought I would ever have to say this, but the rock band playing down stairs has complained about the noise coming from upstairs. It seems "Skinny" my roommate was blaring Van Halen and practicing David Lee jumps so loud it was getting the band playing at the bar out of beat! LMAO I don't know why, but from that day, my landlord loved us with all of the crazy shit we did. He even hired me to work in his construction company a week later.
Can you imagine what EVH's face was like when he realized he created the greatest riff of all time? I would have been like "what the fuck did I just create omfg"
