good but not great
however i have two good things to say and two bad things. overall this very best off is fairly complete. the good things are 1) the three previously unreleased tracks are good "up for breakfast being a great future classic van halen song" (too bad sammy is not there anymore and they did not have time to siung this song in concerts or else it would have been a classic. 2) the way the cd is laid out. first on david lee roth tune then one sammy hagar tune. this is nice. the two bad things are 1) the way the track finish what you started ends in a terrible and abrupt way. the first time i heard it i thought my cd player was on the brink. 2) the three live songs at the end of disc to are totally useless. these three songs is what made me give a four star review instead of a five. why so? because who ever made this greatest hits list left out one crucial song from the balance album called "don't tell me what love can do" probably one of sammy hagar era's best songs. and plus they could have put a few more tracks from david lee roth era which are worth thier weight in this list.
