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...

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 would
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

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.
