With this one, I had to use a flash to stop the motion, and I had to prejudge the focus because I never used automatic focus, and it’s hard when they’re moving. I wanted to get more Eddie [Van Halen] in there, but you gotta go with what you can. I think it’s kind of cool to get a little bit of Eddie screaming. But with Dave, I don’t even know how he got up there that high. He just jumped off. It was almost like he had a trampoline, but he didn’t have one. It was amazing.</p>

<p>It was always just a party touring with them. They used to give me passes to give to the girls. I remember, Dave would put your initials on the pass, and if the girl he ended up with had your initials on it, you’d get a bonus. I don’t even know how much that was. I definitely gave out some passes, but I never collected.</p>](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/van_halen_1980_rt_DS_weiss.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&w=90)
