"Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" is a song by American rock band Van Halen. It was released in October 1978 as the third single from their 1978 debut album, Van Halen.
This song is one of the few David Lee Roth-era songs that subsequent replacement Sammy Hagar was willing to sing in concert when he joined the band in the mid-1980s.[1]
When Eddie Van Halen wrote the song, he did not consider it good enough to show his bandmates until a year later.[1] He said it was supposed to be a punk rock parody, "a stupid thing to us, just two chords. It didn't end up sounding punk, but that was the intention." The guitar solo was doubled in overdubs with an electric sitar.[3]
Legacyedit
The song has been described as "[laying] down the style and sentiment of what would become 80s hair metal".[4] It has also been called their "most heavy metal track".[5]
