RADIO 3FM 09.06-12.06 Arbeidsvitaminen
Dutch radioshow with a playlist of 31 songs featuring Van Halen's Jump at #30.

| This was the first single from 1984 and the band's first #1 hit! The song was recorded on an Oberheim OBX-A keyboard and really introduced the world to Van Halen's keyboard-based songwriting. Sharp-eared listeners will note that the main riff from Top of the World (from F.U.C.K.) was written around the ending riff from Jump. Jump was certified Gold on 4/03/84 and remained at the top of the charts for five weeks. |

Dutch radioshow with a playlist of 32 songs featuring Van Halen's Runnin' With The Devil at #20.

| This was Van Halen's second single. The horn sound at the beginning of the song was created by a collection of real car horns mounted in a box and powered by two car batteries. The horns were taken from an Opel owned by Alex, a Volvo owned by Edward along with horns from a Mercedes Benz and a Volkswagen. The horn sound was slowed down and recorded backwards. |

Sammy Hagar calls reunion with Van Halen inevitable.
"It’s not that I’m crying for a reunion," clarified Sammy Hagar, who also sells his own brand of tequila. "I’m happy. I’m totally happy. But I don’t think I could say I am never going to play with those guys again and it will never happen. And God forbid something happened to one of us and then it could never happen. I’d be very regretful."

"So I think it’s inevitable," he reiterated. "So I think we’ll do it."
