Nah, you commited to leaving(or have been commited)--you're gone.

This clown is jus' like a bad, bad actor, over-acting in every pathetic scene there are in. Hello, Frank Stallone.

Oh yeah... I forgot all about that one. Don't know where it is now... shitty.

What I like about the current one is that Ed's in it as well. Kind of suggests they weren't always mortal enemies. (That, and they look like just a common pair of headbanger buds, chowing down on burgers in a McD's parking lot; who'd have know they were destined for greatness...)

I've always loved it, too (although, maybe you're joking...).

Used to sound so ominous and freaky on my Sony Walkman as a kid ... fucking thought it was great.

It's my all-time favorite song.

Diver Down was the album that got me into Van Halen.

Matt White

First CLASSIC VAN HALEN recording I ever bought the day it was released...always had my older Brother's VH to listen to before that.....

STELLAR...DAVE is in top form...EVH is still an innovator.....

Although my favorite Diver Down song is "The Full Bug", I have to say that "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William now)" shows a band that;

A) Had serious chops to bring it down and swing
B) Made it enjoyable to listen to yet another yet different cover
C) Showed just how damn tight they were as a foursome
D) Had the BIGGEST FUCKING BALLS to even record soemthing like that !!!

If you take out all the friggin covers on Diver Down, it's actually a damn good album. They should have waited and recorded a few more originals to go on that album, then released the sucker. Then it may have been one of, if not the best, VH album.

Hey Tex,

I have to agree with you.

As far as I'm concerned, although they definitely "Van Halenized" "Big Bad Bill ..." and "Happy Trails" (as well as the other more mainstream ones on there) after Van Halen II's "You're no good" it should have been nothing but pure, unadulterated Van Fucking Halen ... period.

And I'm sure, when all is said and done, when we get tot hear some of the unreleased stuff they have filed away that didn't make it to album, we're going to be left scratching our heads wonderin' why the fuck they didn't replace "Dancin' in the streets" with this or "Where have all the good times gone" with that.

I don't know the whole story on Led Zeppelin's "Coda", but the stuff on it was incredible and I would have loved to have heard "We're gonna groove" in place of "All of my love" on "In through the out door".

just sayin'

I was just watching Largo '82 and it reminded me how incredible The Full Bug sounds live. I can not figure out why Dave doesn't do The Bug during his show. :confused:

He kicks a ton of ass on the harp and it is just a GREAT song!

Yeah, it's a great fucking song. I love ALL of the originals on that album. Thank God for the vinyl edition AND the Remastered CD. Both sound much better than the cassette and the original CD format.
