I saw an interview with Sammy Hagar and he was saying this was coming from his pain from Kurt Cobain's suicide.
Listening through that lens makes the lyrics all the more clear. Kurt knew he had all this influence, power, etc., but had a lot of esteem issues that haunted him. He turned inward. so instead of listening to friends and those who loved him, he turned to drugs (heroin) and eventually suicide (by shotgun). Don't tell me what love can do.
I can't say much about the lyrics being attributed to Eddie and Alex. But remember there was a huge rift by that time between the bros and Sammy.
I love the song. Big VH fan. But I dare say Eddie seems to be phoning it in? He's way better than these licks, but since it's Eddie it still works (and way better than in most other hands).
I like the Alex insight/interpretations.
