Running With the Devil was THE SONG when I was in high school --- High school memories both good and bad will always be accompanied with early Van Halen as their background soundtrack.

Guitarist Eddie Van Halen asked Patty Smyth of the group SCANDAL to join the band first, which Smyth has now recounted in a new interview with Ster...Comment

I've heard Michael Anthony and the rest of the guys had settled their differences and were planning a reunion of the original lineup for this year. Then the pandemic hit and Eddie's health took a turn for the worse. Sammy and Eddie had also reconnected and were secretly texting each other up until a couple of months ago.Comment
