Whose side do you take? Van Halen or Tone Loc? Btw FLOP refers to the song not charting. If you like Van Halen her'e a story about their lost album <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm1dIMPevYQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm1dIMPevYQ</a>

Sounds like Van Halen’s beef should have been with their management, not Loc. Loc’s guy licensed it fair and square.

I don't think Jaime's Crying was a flop. I've heard it on the radio hundreds of times back in the day.

Ed should have been mad at his management. He made an agreement with them to manage his work. Tone Loc didn't do anything wrong.

Wait. So tone loc paid to usethe sample then got sued and paid again? But he's seen as the bad guy?!?

Tone Loc should not have settled. He made a legal agreement to use the sample. I say this as a guitarist and die hard VH fan (favorite era was 91-96, yeah I'm in the minority) but VH management made a legally binding deal. If Ed was p!ssed, he should have been mad at them.<br>P.S. I also will never understand why their first single was "You Really Got Me". Record execs are so utterly clueless.

Jamie's Cryin was absolutely not a flop.

Gene probably made the Daddy long legs suggestion so he'd own the copyright
