Just added:Here’s one from the Twister soundtrack featuring the Red Rocker. Sorry in advance too those who don’t like four note chords. I used them on only two chords in the beginning. One of them is actually a six note chord on the actual song when play on a real guitar; that’s Eddie for ya.Enjoy,
Duuuuuudddeeee.
Seriously, thank you. Twister was one of my favorite films when I was younger. It made me sad to find out the soundtrack didn’t have the orchestral intro from the film…that part was so cool.
I’m considering doing “Respect the Wind” from the credits of that movie. Eddie and Alex Van Halen did an amazing job with it.

Thank you. “Respect the Wind” would be awesome.
Nice choice! I have mixed feeling about this tune…I don’t care for the lyrics or the chorus, but the Eddie/Alex intro is pretty killer.
Thanks for sharing!

Alex and Eddie didn’t like the song so they made “Respect the Wind” as a result to compensate. Rumor has it “Humans Being” was part of the catalyst that caused Hagar to leave the band.
But it’s quite catchy.
Wow, Freewaymad! I wasn’t expecting you to release Van Halen so soon! How frickin’ cool is that?!
Glad you got to reppin’ Sammy, Eddie, Alex and Mike. Your thread is and will always be a bad mutha, amigo!
Thanks very much for your talent!

Quick, Robin…to the SongFactsCave!
Hagar had written a song called “The Silent Extreme,” which Alex later renamed “Humans Being.” There was a lot of friction between Sammy and the band because Sammy was in Maui with his pregnant wife and the others wanted him to fly to the studio and finish the song. Eddie pleaded with Sammy and said they needed only a minute and a half of lyrics added and he suggested “Bah, bah, bah. I hate this, I hate that, you dirty rat.” Sammy said “that sucked.” Sammy finally said okay, and came up with this line: “There is just enough Christ in me/To make me feel almost guilty/Is that why God made us breed/To make us see we’re humans being.” Sammy sang the song in three parts in about an hour and a half and split. This played a key roll in the end of the relationship between Hagar and Van Halen.

Summary: Eddie wanted Haggar to leave his pregnant wife to record this song, Haggar mailed it in and the band split up.
I wonder if Van Halen had any drama-free years.
Most likely during the Gary Cherone years (1996 – 1999). You didn’t much of anything then (about Van Halen that is).

Agreed, not much going on after Sammy split…..
I for one, won’t ever forget for as long as I live, hearing Eddie’s playing for the first time on that debut album. Starting up on the first track with “Running with the Devil” was baddass…..but by the time “Eruption” finished kicking my nards, I was convinced that he was a ‘Guitar God’ not seen since the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Paige.
Funny, looking back at it now, there have been so many accomplished and technically better guitar players since that time, but for me, Eddie Van Halen pioneered a new direction for the electric guitar.
