The farewell album for one of the most influential bands of the 70's

In 1982, as a stop-gap while Van Halen took a break after a lengthy tour, the band decided to just record a cover version of an old classic. But Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth argued over which one to record. Eddie won the argument, but the turmoil resulted in an incomplete version getting released. But that didn't stop it from becoming the band's first big hit. Randy has the whole story on today's edition of But Did You Know.

One of the signature songs of the 80's is 'Heat of the Moment' by Asia. But Did You Know... that it was written at the last minute to satisfy a demand from their record company AND one of the four members resisted recording it because he just didn't like it. Randy has the whole scoop on today's edition of BDYK.
