Van Halen (Official Thread)

Wow! Best yet! That is so reminiscent of classic VH. I can picture Dave doing splits in the air to that one. Love, love, love! These guys really can still rock.

Indeed. I'm picturing Sammy and Michael looking at each other, smiling & nodding their heads as to genture "d@mn.... that one rocks!" hehehehe

That song (or part of it) just allows one to close their eyes and envision the good old days when Dave could do the splits without popping a vertebrae.

Good find! I may have to pick this album up after all if there are more tracks like that last one. VH is one of the few bands that are so high energy that I can play them at the gym. I always play 1984 it keeps me pumped.

I am considering picking up the album anyway, sure it has songs I said I found average in parts but if I can try to look past all of that I may actually enjoy the album. I don't believe in snubbing an album before I have heard it.

 

[METALPRIEST]

I'm getting the new album cause my CD collection would be naked without it.

So I'm hopin' for the best here.

I know I'll pick this album up for sure. To be quite honest, from everything I've heard I think I'll be liking this album more than any Van Halen album since "Fair Warning". Van Halen was mostly a song band instead of an album ban for me during the Sammy years, I think "Diver Down" is forgettable, and "1984" is a big disappointment for me and very overrated as a whole. So yes, I'll be looking forward to picking up the new album next week and helping to send Dave to #1 for the first time ever.

I'll likely pick it up. There was a review on a local radio station yesterday about their gig. It lasted 70 minutes and had four songs off the new set. It started with You Really Got Me and the encore was Jump. The reviewer praised Wolfgang Van Halen's vocal and playing saying he has improved noticeably since their last tour together. He did say that Roth's vocals were a bit spotty but he carried the show in fine fashion. Edward and Alex Van Halen were their same stellar and solid selves respectively. The crowd were mellow yet dug the show.

 

[Riff Raff]

**** it I think Ill just stick to the killer old albums. Love Women and Children First.
Take Your Whiskey Home, gotta love that intro.

 

[METALPRIEST]

I like the new disc Riff...it's no Take Your Whiskey Home, but it doesn't suck. Actually I really enjoy it.

 

[Riff Raff]

I wouldn't say it sucks either, just not for me so Im glad others enjoyed it. Ill just keep to the albums I enjoy.
