Van Halen Diver Down (1982)
Diver Down (West German Pressing)\nOriginally Released April 14, 1982\nCD Edition Released \nRemastered CD Edition Released September 19, 2000\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Although it went platinum, Fair Warning didn't match the multi-platinum standards of Van Halen's first three records, so the group revamped their sound slightly for the follow-up, Diver Down. Adding the slightest hints of synthesizers and streamlining both the guitar indulgences of Eddie Van Halen and the vocal excesses of David Lee Roth, the album contained some of the group's most pop-oriented performances -- and they were all in the guise of covers. "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and "Dancing in the Street" had the traditional mechanical Van Halen rhythmic pulse, as well as concise solos from Eddie and restrained vocals from Diamond Dave, which helped them become the hits they were designed to be. If they were off-set by more original material like "Hang 'Em High," the concessions would have been acceptable, but the rest of Diver Down is filled with covers, including "Big Bad Bill," "Where Have All the Good Times Gone," and a closing "Happy Trails." All of the songs are professionally performed, and the music features more ideas than most previous Van Halen albums, but the lack of strong original material makes Diver Down less of an accomplishment than it appears. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nAnother Van Halen classic, May 14, 2005 \nReviewer: Daniel Maltzman (Arlington, MA, USA) \nDid Van Halen follow-up their 1981 masterpiece "Fair Warning" with another classic in the same vein? No. Although "Fair Warning" remains Van Halen's masterpiece and is a fan favorite, upon its release, it was a commercial disappointment, stalling at platinum status (it has sold over two million copies to date). \n\nVan Halen made a far more radio-friendly, commercial album with 1982s "Diver Down." Of the twelve tracks, three are instrumentals, and five are cover songs. That leaves only four Van Halen originals. The reason? As producer Ted Templeman stated, once you record a song that's a hit, you're already halfway there. A lot of fans have complained with the format of this CD. And while it would have been nice to have a full-length album of VH originals as a follow-up to "Fair Warning," "Diver Down" is still a classic Van Halen recording. The original recordings, "Hang `em High," "Secrets," "Little Guitars" and "The Full Bug," are four of Van Halen's all-time best songs. All of the covers on this disc are better than the originals, and the instrumentals are cool and help with the flow of the album. Eddie's playing, which goes with out saying, is spectacular. Dave shines of course, and Alex Van Halen (drums) and Michael Anthony (bass) provide a stellar rhythm section. \n\n"Diver Down opens with the Kinks "Where Have All the Good Times Gone," a mid-tempo, upbeat rocker. "Hang `Em High," an ode to Clint Eastwood, is fast and furious. It features one of Eddie's all-time best solos. "Cathedral" is a haunting, offbeat guitar instrumental, which adds a bit of spice to the album. The highly underrated "Secrets" is, without doubt, one of Van Halen's greatest songs. It simply shows the Van Halen/Roth chemistry at its absolute best. This low-key, tuneful song is wonderfully written. David Lee Roth's finest lyrics can be found right here: \n\n"She ain't waiting 'til she gets older \nHer feet are makin' tracks in the winter snows \nShe got a rainbow that touches her shoulder \nShe be headed where the thunder rolls" \n\nThe pace picks up for the fast-paced instrumental jam "Intruder," which leads perfectly into the Roy Orbison classic "Pretty Woman," one of Van Halen's most popular songs. Van Halen made a dance-pop smash with the mowtown classic "Dancing in the Streets." The melodic instrumental "Little Guitars (intro)" leads perfectly into the gorgeous "Little Guitars," one of Van Halen's greatest love songs. Much like "Secrets," with "Little Guitars," Van Halen manages to create a love song that is both sincere and has power. Unlike the schlock that Van Halen would be releasing a few years later with Sammy Hagar. "Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now)" is pure Dave kitsch and adds a great sense of humor to the CD. "The Full Bug" is a great, underrated, fast-paced, classic VH rocker. "Happy Trails" is a light-hearted vocal instrumental and is a great way to close the CD. While some fans might complain at its inclusion, along with "Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now), and call it filler, I actually am quite fond of them both. "Diver Down" wouldn't be the same without them. \n\nSome fans might consider "Diver Down" to be one of the bands weaker albums, especially when compared to their first four albums. I would have to disagree with this assessment. Van Halen didn't set out to make a kick-ass hard rock album with "Diver Down." They set out to make a more commercial, light-hearted album, and they succeeded brilliantly. It may not rock as hard as "Van Halen" or "Fair Warning," but "Diver Down" is a gem in it's own right. If you are a fan of classic rock, the first six Van Halen albums are essential to own for any great collection. "Diver Down" is no exception. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nCATHEDRAL is a haunting solo, this whole album is SUPERB!, May 25, 2005 \nReviewer: Eddie Chopsaw "A Regulator" (Pacific Northwest)\nWow, and to think there are people out there who actually don't like this album? Man I get a kick every time I listen to it, despite some covers (hey did we not have a cover in the first and second albums that were awesome???) the original song's are cool, not quite as dark as Fair Warning or WACF but we seem to see a almost more progressive rock feel with a little bit of synth and a little less brooding dark bass. \n\nThe result is the same: That this is one of the best bands to ever come out, period! You could give them sticks and trash-can lids and they'd make it happen!!! \n\nOkay on to the album: "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and "Dancing in the Street" had the traditional mechanical Van Halen rhythmic pulse, as well as concise solos from Eddie and restrained vocals from Diamond Dave, which helped them become the hits they were designed to be. If they were offset by more original material like "Hang 'Em High," the concessions would have been acceptable, but the rest of Diver Down is filled with covers, including "Big Bad Bill," "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?," and a closing "Happy Trails." \n\nCathedral is one of the greatest guitar solo's EVER! And it's mystical mood is emphazized because when Eddie played it, his right hand was not in the traditional "strumming humbucker" mode but is actually turning the tune nob 300 degrees, over and over and over. I know Van Halen purists already know that, but hey, a side note nonetheless. I saw him play it in concert last year in Vegas and it was awesome! \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nReally Good!!!!, June 28, 2005 \nReviewer: Some Gravity (Indiana, USA) \n"Diver Down"(1983). Van Halen's fifth album. \n\nBy the early 80's,even though Van Halen had remained really succesful,there were problems in the group:David Lee Roth had become really egotisitical,and as a result,problems in the band had cooked up and became a war between Roth against his fellow bandmates Eddie Van Halen,Alex Van Halen,and Michael Anthony. Van Halen had seen and done it all-they had been discovered by Gene Simmons while they were performing at a New York City club and gotten their recording contract as a result of it,and after their fourth album("Fair Warning")had been released and had turned out to be hard,dark,and heavy,the guys in Van Halen were becoming quite tired-which may have been the reason that their fifth album,"Diver Down" had a half of original songs,two instrumentals,and half cover songs. How did the album measure up? Read on for my review of this: \n\nWhen Van Halen fans go look through their collection of VH cds,this tends to be their least liked CD from the Roth era. Why is that? Because of the large amount of cover songs there are on here.But what's the big deal? There may be only four Van Halen originals here that are not instrumentals(Hang 'Em High,Secrets,Little Guitars,and The Full Bag)but it's still a great album. Their cover of Roy Orbison's "(Oh)Pretty Women" and their cover of the Motown classic "Dancing In The Street" were the two songs that got the most attention off of this record,and they are both really good-Van Halen made those songs their own,and they both became classics in the library of classic Van Halen songs,even though they were cover songs. As for their cover of The Kinks' "Where Have All The Good Times Gone"(the opening track for this album),that song,in my opinion,was the best cover song Van Halen EVER did.It is also an excellent way to open an album. \n\nNow,let me move on to the original songs on this album. Out of the original songs,"Hang 'Em High" is,as mentioned at the top,an ode to Clint Eastwood,and Van Halen did a great tribute to Eastwood. It reminds me of the tribute Gene Simmons did to the late silent horror actor Lon Chaney(RIP)on his self-titled 1978 solo record. And "Secrets"-I'd give that song 19 stars if I could.Really,it is that good.It is actually a blues song,and "Women and Children First" found Van Halen attempting blues,but this has 100 percent blues.Artists like Aerosmith,Motley Crue,Slaughter,Warrant,etc.have all proven to have a bone for blues music-and Van Halen sure does(or did)have a bone for blues music. That song could have been and should have been a hit. \n\nOverall,a really good CD. Like I already said,this is probably the least liked Van Halen CD with David Lee Roth on lead vocals(the least liked Van Halen CD out of all of their CDS is the dreaded album with Gary Cherone on lead vocals)but it has proven to be quite underrated.The Van Halen/David Lee Roth era was one of the greatest eras rock 'n roll would ever see-and while this CD is not the best VH CD out there,it still is really good. And just in case You were wondering,look at Amazon's track listing for this on top-tracks 1,6,7,10 and 12 are cover tunes,tracks 5 and 8 are instrumentals,and tracks 2,3,4,9,and 11 are original Van Halen songs with music and lyrics.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nPartying too much to write a hit? Break out the covers!!! , March 26, 2005\nReviewer: Misfit Kid "Mark" (North Carolina) \nThis is the worst VH album of all time (including the ones with Sammy Hagar). Don't even argue with me, you know I'm right. "Fair Warning" was their last amazing set of hard-rocking original tunes and VH obviously tried to keep that gravy train rolling by quickly releasing a follow-up. Their poor unsuspecting fans (me included) bought it immediately in the hope that it was 1/10th what "Fair Warning" was. Boy, were we all wrong! Eddie's guitar work is wimpy throughout, Dave sounds completely unfocused (can you say "sex, drugs, rock-n-roll" MINUS the "sex" and "rock-n-roll?"), and the only hit-worthy tunes were covers. They didn't even pick cool songs to cover (except for "Where Have All The Good Times Gone" by the Kinks, which, by the way, was a lame and obvious attempt at recapturing the magic of "You Really Got Me," from the first album. So sad). "Dancing In The Street"(?!?!?) Are you kidding me?! CRAP!!! Yeah, that really rocks, guys! Good job!! This is the only VH album I did not buy on CD and I have no plans of ever doing so. If you gave it to me plus $5, I might put it in my collection, but I doubt it. I'd probably just stomp on it...in the street, of course!\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nVery Good Album, January 15, 2005\nReviewer: B McVicar (Montreal, Canada) \nThis is a very good album in my opinion. Certainly not VH's best, but perhaps their most underrated. In particular, the song 'Cathedral' really shines to guitar players like myself. Like 'Eruption', it introduced a style- 'Eruption' introduced finger tapping. 'Cathedral' introduced the underrated and seldom used but still incredibly cool technique of guitar violining, which involves alot of delay, reverb and chorus effects while swelling the guitar's volume control from 0 to 10 with each note. This album is great and it is one of my favorite hard rock albums, if not my favorite Van Halen. I am dissapointed that they did not follow it up in 1983 however. As well, in 'Dancing in The Streets', Eddie uses yet another interesting guitar technique. This album is a technical guitar masterpiece and contains several incredibly innovative tracks. Rock on Eddie.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\n3.5 stars - The weakest album from the Diamond Dave era, May 17, 2004\nReviewer: Darth Kommissar (Las Vegas, NV (USA))\nDiver Down (1982.) Van Halen's fifth album.\nIt was in 1982 that Van Halen released their fifth studio album, Diver Down. Being that this album came after the fairly well-received Fair Warning and the critically-acclaimed 1984, it tends to be the most overlooked of the albums from Diamond Dave's era with the band. Many fans call this the weakest album from David Lee Roth's stint in the band. Is it below the band's usual standards, or is it an underrated masterpiece? Read on for my Diver Down review.\n\nAnyone who calls this the worst of Van Halen's albums with Diamond Dave is correct. This isn't a bad album by any means, but it definitely falls below the band's usual standards. I LIKE the band's various cover songs and instrumentals, but this album wastes too much time serving up too many of them, and not enough unique compositions from the band. That's not to say the covers are bad, though. The high-energy cover of the Motown classic, Dancing In The Streets, is actually better than the original! Their cover of Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman is pretty good, too, but it fails to top the original. Likewise, the extended instrumental before the song is really just a scattershot and mindless collection of noise - NOT necessary by any means. The same can be said of all of the instrumental tracks on this album. However, some tracks on the album ARE surprisingly good - the opening track, Where Have All The Good Times Gone, is nothing short of excellent. Even The Little Guitars and Big Bad Bill, though WAY different than anything else the band has ever done, are still very good. The album DOES fall below Van Halen's normal standards, no question, but this is still a good album overall.\n\nThe Warner Remasters rerelease of this album improves the sound quality, but I really thing that Warner could have done more with these reissues. Expanded liner notes/interviews/etc. would have made for a good extra, as would bonus tracks. The Madonna reissues in the Warner Remasters series had bonus tracks, so why can't the Van Halen reissues? Or better yet, they could have combined multiple albums onto single discs (one disc could have been Van Halen/Van Halen II, one could be Women And Children First/Fair Warning, and one could have been Diver Down/1984.) That would have been more convenient to fans, but I guess record companies care more about profits than convenience. Oh, well. This doesn't change the way I feel about the album itself.\n\nIn the end, Diver Down is a good album - but it's NOT the place to start if you're new to Van Halen. If you're new to the band, start out with their 1978 self-titled debut. This album is good, but it can give a new fan the wrong impression about the band. Buy this album if you're a die-hard Van Halen fan. If you're anything less, listen before buying.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nTheir wackiest album!, November 22, 2002\nReviewer: "richlatta" ("The War Zone" ABQ, NM)\nThis is a real mixed bag, but everything works great. Need I gush about their phenomenal talent? Van Halen were a blast, and I can still picture late night cruises with girls and swim meets in the sun with this album playing. \nStrangly enough, my favorite song here is the jazz rave-up "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)" featuring Eddie and Alex's dad on clarinet (he smokes too). I've learned the words to it and can even sound like Dave when I sing it. Of course, there's plenty of rockin' out. "Intruder" sounds menacing, like a vicious attacker is about to round the corner, but it turns out to be a "Pretty Woman," and the boys claim that Roy Orbison classic as their own. "Dancing in the Street" may seem like a strange song for Van Haslen to cover, but it bubbles to life splendidly, providing the perfect backdrop for Diamond Dave's antics (I bet it was his idea to do that one). "Hang "Em High" and "The Full Bug" are scorching VH originals, while "Secrets" and "Little Guitars" display a softer side of the band that is equally impressive. \n\nSome have called this a throwaway album, but if you like diversity in a record, this one doesn't disappoint. What works here works well enough to outweigh what some people believe doesn't anyway. If nothing else, it's worth it just to hear Eddie Van Halen play. But it's a lot more than that, too.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nDLR Hits Back..., November 6, 2002\nReviewer: A.J. Taylor (Sparta, NJ United States) \nIn 1982, after four excellent labums Van Halen finally delivered a second-rate album. First off, almost half of the album, five tracks, were covers, while three more were instrumentals and intros. Of the four originals left on the album, half were duds.\nHowever, despite all this, Diver Down is still wortha listen. It's clear that after the very "Eddie-centric" Fair Warning, David Lee Roth is trying to assert that he, not Eddie, has creative control over the band. Thus there are the collection of covers(and even some originals) which showcase DLR and leave Eddie on the sidelines. Thankfully, Diamond Dave is talented enough to dig himself out of this egotistical hole and save what would otherwise wouldve been a mediocre album. Indeed, many of the much-maligned covers, espescially "Pretty Woman", "Where Have all the Good Times Gone?" and the oddly entertaining "Happy Trails" are highlights on the album.\nEddie does make his prescence felt, espescially on "Little Guitars" and "The Full Bug", which are easily the best songs on the album. Espescially "Little Guitars", with its very brown sound, emerges as a real winner, and one of the best VH songs ever.\nDiver Down represented trhe second round of the Eddie vs. DLR battle that would eventually result in Dave leaving the band. However, after Diver Down with the battle tied at an album apiece, Dave and Eddie would work together long enough at least to make "1984", which wouyld become their true commercial breakthrough.\nI would certainly not recommend this albuim as a first for newcomers. This should probbly be the last of the DLR-era anyone should buy, but Diver Down is worth it, if sometimes only for al lthe curiosities contained within.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nA misunderstood classic!, May 13, 2002\nReviewer: birddogger5150 (Roseville, MN USA) \nIt was pretty easy for the critics to beat up on this album - I mean, yeah, it's barely 35 minutes long, and of these album's 12 tracks, five are remakes and three are instrumentals/intros, leaving only four true original verse/chorus/verse tunes. Coming on the heels of four albums/tours in the previous four years, it did have "quickie job" written all over it. But like the Rolling Stones' "Tattoo You" (the 80's other infamous patchwork album) this is a pretty darn good record regardless of the circumstances surrounding it. To me, it is the Van Halen album that flows better than any other. There are more shifts in style and mood on this album than on any other Van Halen record, which makes for a comepelling listening experience. \nThe thing about Van Halen doing cover versions is that their choices are alternately predictable (the Kinks' "Where Have All The Good Times Gone") and very quirky and offbeat (Martha & the Vandells' "Dancing In The Street", Roy Rogers & Dale Evans' "Happy Trails", Roy Orbison's "(Oh!) Pretty Woman", the obscure ragtime number "Big Bad Bill"), but always very well done. By opening the album with another Kinks cover, the band definitely set themselves up for a major attack by critics, but the fact is this song is a great party tune and sets the tone for a killer album. "Hang `Em High" is the album's hardest rocker, a noisy punkish tune that nicely offsets the more melodic WHATGTG. \n\n"Cathedral", a subdued and spooky Eddie instrumental that continues the roller coaster of mood shifts. I always assumed this tune sounded so weird because it was recorded backwards, but then I saw him play it in concert and was proven wrong (you can hear parts of it on "316" from "Live: Right Here Right Now"). "Secrets" is an unusually mellow pop rocker which also fits nicely in the tapestry of the record. The medley of "Intruder/(Oh) Pretty Woman" is definitely a fan favorite whether the band likes it or not (despite being a Top 20 hit, the band refused to put it or anything else from this record on their greatest hits album), and I don't care what anyone sez, their remake of "Dancing In The Street" is one of the greatest things they've ever done. The bubbling guitar work (or is it a synthesizer?!?) on that song is incredible, it's a classic song that they only improved on by giving it a whole new funky vibe. "Little Guitars (intro)/Little Guitars" is another minor classic in the band's canon, a great melody with great singalong verses. \n\n"Big Bad Bill" is just bizarre, but at the same time, look how well they pulled off that jazz/ragtime sound! You could play this song for an old-timer along with the Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four" and give them a newfound respect for rock musicians. Dave's 1940's whiskey-soaked barroom blues vocal delivery, Eddie's taut and simple guitar chords, and Alex's brushwork all contribute to the song's vibe, as does Jan Van Halen's clarinet. It's obviously meant to be very tongue-in-cheek, but just try playing it without singing along after a few listens. \n\n"The Full Bug" is the least distinct of the album's four originals, but it's still a cool blues workout that starts out soft (works great coming immediately after the equally soft "Big Bad Bill") then really kicks into a full-on jam. The closing a capella version of "Happy Trails" is just plain silly, but to me this song along with "Big Bad Bill" is classic David Lee Roth and demonstrates one of his main contributions to the band - his wonderful sense of humor (which unforunately never matured with age and is now annoying as hell). It was an attitude that was sorely missing during the Hagar years, good as they were. \n\nThis was an oft-listened-to album for many people in the early 80's. Friends of mine often regard this as VH's third best, right behind their debut and "1984". In many ways it's their most "fun" album since it obviously doesn't take itself too seriously. So never mind all the critcial backlash against it here, pick it up, this album is classic Van Halen!\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nA Hard Rock Band In Vaudeville, December 5, 2001\nReviewer: Steven Menzer (Baltimore, MD United States)\nIf Fair Warning displayed Eddie's craftsmanship in the studio, Diver Down was Dave's Album to ham up and be a show biz star. The prevailing opinion that this is their worst album, is largely accurate but misses the point. Since it's half non-VH songs, it can't be compared to other VH albums in the same way. The contrast between their new songs, and the 60's pop standards makes for a diverse lateral approach as opposed to a linear sequence of thematically related originals.\n"Where Have All The Good Times Gone", is another great cover of a simple Kinks original. "Hang 'Em High", is a high energy rocker that showcases Ed's mastery of tight riffing, fret-tapping, and whammy bar technique. The dreamy and spiritual instumental, "Cathedral", is the beautiful sound of Ed's guitar run through a synthesizer made to sound like an organ. "Secrets", is a good original that sounds like a cover of some 70's band. Ed's guitar solo is so sweetly playful, and spontaneous, it sounds like he's flirting with some girl; It always brings a smile to my face. As a suspenseful and dramatic instrumental, "Intruder", is a clever way to introduce Roy Orbison's classic, "Pretty Woman". VH renders a decent version that's more hard rock. "Dancing In The Street", has the perfect party theme for Roth to strut his extroversion, while Ed contributes an original solo.\n\nWithout a doubt, "Little Guitars", is the standout track on the album. The virtuoso acoustic guitar intro recalls, "Spanish Fly", from VHII. There's a great series of opening licks before the vocal. Nowhere is Ed's phenomenal sense for rhythm guitar better exemplified than here. Check out the last minute of the song. Dave's crooning as the song winds down, zooms you back out to full perspective. And then everything stops but the guitar. The last twenty seconds are like an encyclopedia for how to meld interesting chord voicing's with unbelievable touch, timing and subtlety to make a classic song.\n\nWith Dave's schtick and Jan Van Halen's clarinet, "Big Bad Bill", is an endearing track. The machismo of "The Full Bug" makes for a mediocor song, but the excellent group singing of, "Happy Trails", ends the album with good cheer. It's understandable why the band would lighten up, following the pungency of "Fair Warning". If you're looking for the fun and juicy side of Van Halen, you'll enjoy this album.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe Great Hype, January 22, 2001\nReviewer: Lloyd Benjamin (Sacramento, CA)\nHaving initially dismissed Van Halen as a complete joke, I decided to give them another chance with this issue of Remasters. I know that I'll get no end of grief from the great Van Halen sect in saying that this CD is also garbage. They are much akin to pornography, replete with vacuous crap until the 'prize stuff', as it were, where Eddie gets to wank like mad. Yes, Eddie plays well but it hardly makes up for the pathetic songwriting and like pornography, it still makes for shallow, lousy movies. And while we're on the topic of Eddie, what in the world do the intros of "Pretty Woman" or "Little Guitars" have to do with the rest of the songs? Answer: Nothing at all, just another excuse to blow. Finally, as best I can tell, David Lee Roth really missed the turnoff from the Borscht Belt or Las Vegas early in his youth, evidently deluded that he knew anything about rock n' roll. Just what kind of stupid affectation to his vocals is that? He sounds so unctuous, I expected him to break into Hennie Youngman jokes mid-song. The glam-fratboy backup vocals of "ooohhs" are no less smarmy and annoying. Van Halen do not "rock, dude!" but they are a fine example of why real metal and punk rock thrive, and why spandex-coated, surgically-enhanced idiots regularly get eaten for lunch. We need bands that can actually rock without tripping all over their egos.\n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nProducer: Ted Templeman\nEngineer: Donn Landee\n\nVan Halen: David Lee Roth (vocals); Eddie Van Halen (guitar); Michael Anthony (bass); Alex Van Halen (drums).\n\nAddtional personnel: Jan Van Halen (clarinet).\n\nRecorded in 1982.\nDigitally remastered by Chris Bellman.\n\nDIVER DOWN was a #3 smash for Van Halen in 1982. The band scored its biggest hit up to that point with "(Oh) Pretty Woman," and were to begin its "Hide Your Sheep" tour by headlining the US festival. Although criticized for containing nearly 50 percent cover material, DIVER propelled the group into the rock stratosphere.\n\n"Where Have All The Good Times Gone" actually exceeds the Kinks' original, using the same formula that worked with "You Really Got Me." "Hang 'Em High" contains a blistering Eddie Van Halen solo, while the somber instrumental "Cathedral" shows Ed's use of digital delay and electric guitar volume swells to create a synthesizer-like sound. On "Dancing In The Street" the band tries to stay true to the vibe of the original tune while still injecting the Van Halen sound. The flamenco-style intro of "Little Guitars" leads into another distinct, innovative Eddie guitar line. The album concludes on a humorous note with "Happy Trails." Great songs, David Lee Roth's charismatic vocals, and Eddie's virtuoso guitar are just some of the reasons to pick up DIVER DOWN.\n
