The weird thing about it is, it was the first time they laid down Ain't talking about love. At the beginning of the song-Daves mic was too loud, so he yelled the sound mans name to get his attention.

Yep, you guessed it, the sound guys name was Sammy. I couldn't believe my ears. Not only do you get Eruption, the first version of Ain't talking about love, but Dave yells the name Sammy, of course we know how that turned out.
I really dig VH. I still remember the first time I heard Eruption on a walkman-that was over twenty years ago. I was blown away by it, like I still am to this day. Eddie is a musical genius and I really would like to HEAR these demos in which you speak of. Rock On!
