I read once those horns you hear at the start of Runnin' are actually the horns from the band member's cars. They apparently, went out to the parking lot and all 4 just laid on the horns and recorded it.
I forget where I read that it was so long ago, but I think it was an interview with Eddie.

You know, now that I think about it, I'm almost sure it was Eddie, because he also said the scratching sound in The Cradle Will Rock is him sliding a Heineken bottle down the neck of his guitar.

Here for the cookies and the tunes
Surprisingly, I'm giving my vote to Best of Both Worlds. Love both tracks here, but BoBW has a little special place in my heart due to where I was in life when I first heard it.
Also, BoBW is also the single track off of 5150 that made me give "Van Hagar" a chance. Prior to that, I was not happy with that album or the change in the band at all.

I really like both tunes, but it's really hard to vote against anything off of that debut VH album it's a classic through & through. so Runnin' With The Devil gets my vote.

It was all in good fun, thanks! 
Objectively I kinda get it about Runnin' With The Devil.
As I sort of mentioned elsewhere for some reason the first VH album generally made me go after a point and the early Van Hagar stuff made me go
I didn't need a hard sell for Van Hagar in the first place but after hearing BOBW as the first single (if I recall correctly) that sold me on them.
Who knows maybe after 30-some years I can give the first VH in its entirety another spin and not go
I'm not even sure I have a copy at the moment ... I have some other VH on vinyl besides the cassettes - both DLR and Sammy versions.
