The song
The tune is from Van Halen II album (1979). The recording of the album took place in less than a year after the release of his debut album. Many of the tracks contained in Van Halen II were originally included (in many ways) in demos recorded in 1976 by Kiss frontman Gene Simmons and in 1977 by Ted Templeman. Including another version of “Beautiful Girls” (previously called “Bring On the Girls”) and “Somebody Get Me a Doctor” (the versions of the album are just a little different than those contained in the demos).
Also, the black and yellow guitar shown behind the album (titled Bumblebee) was buried along with Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell. Edward Van Halen put it in his coffin because Dimebag said it was his favorite guitar.
