Not exactly a direct revenge song, but DLR's Yankee Rose..
I think it's kind of a fuck you to Van Halen for changing direction with Sammy..YR was more VH sounding that VH at the time...
Best revenge song?

Cant Get This Stuff No More was a leftover from the Balance recording sessions. It looks like Ed tricked
Dave to finally singing a Sammy song after all.

How do you figure? Is Dave telling us he’s the Yankee Rose? That’s the only way the lyrics wouldthe_man_incognito wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2024 3:56 pm Not exactly a direct revenge song, but DLR's Yankee Rose..

make sense in that context. If that is the case, super lame.
While I like the song, after seeing Dave’s antics a few times in the video, I remember thinking
Dave did them a favor by leaving.
Best revenge song in the Van Halen camp is Sammy’s Little White Lie
A big FU to the brothers and maybe even Dave.
I bet he felt vindicated when the Roth Reunion fell apart over the same old bs and 3 sank like the Titanic

Most of the songs from the album KFD by W.A.S.P.

I found a very special place where you used to play"

I didn't say the lyrics were a direct revenge song...I said stylistically...Dave stayed true to the 'spirit' of the VH sound while VH turned into mom rock.Tommy2Tone84 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2024 4:08 amHow do you figure?
