eddie's 'browning" is stand alone.

This will always be my favorite Van Halen song. It was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. In fact, I picked up the guitar because I wanted to learn this song. To this day, that intro is one of my favorite things ever done on the guitar, and it's so simple.

I don't know how true this is, but I remember reading that Eddie wrote this tune as a joke. He wanted to write a two-chord punk parody.

I been to the edge...
There I stood and looked down...
