Even DIAMOND DAVE!
Why is VHII The best on the Classic list?

[ELVIS]

Hmmm...

I posted in this thread...

[knuckleboner]

you're right...i am stunned.

"knucklebones" is the best song on "skyscraper..."

actually, when it first came out, i was really high on skyscraper. i was 12. i loved JLP and the video, but once i heard knucklebones, i was completely hooked.

as i've grown a little older, i've started to wean just a bit off of the high use of synth on that album. i still like SS, but i really do wish i heard sheenan's rawer demos.

[ThrillsNSpills]

I think Skyscraper is an underrated disc.
Two Fools a Minute and Hina work well, along with Hot Dog and a Shake.

What surprises me about the album is that Dave bitched about keys during the VH years and here he is using them.
But he uses them for a pop sound instead of just sounding sappy.
I agree with you guys about DLR band CD being phenomenal.

[Sarge]

SkyScraper is ok..
Knucklebones is great. I didn't like 2 fools a min.
I would have loved to have heard the demos for this cd....

[flappo]

..i think skyscaraper is dave's masterwork , his sgt pepper , his nato even

..that album broke barriers and prob even a few hymens

[DLR7884]

What barriers did SS break?

DLR7884
Oh yeah, the barrier of muting out your bass player.

VHII has always been my favorite because of just pure raw songs with humor and a nice vibe to them like WOMEN IN LOVE and BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.....then DOA is spetacular
It was the first record that I bought on CD!!

Any DAVE SOLO is higher then VH because he has progressed and has made far better tunes with better lyrics then in the VH Days...in my opinion of course.

If you don't know, I'm truly a Dave fan not a ED fan....I don't think Ed is that great at all.....Ed showed his true colors in the VAN SPAM years and with Gary. Without Dave, Ed doesn't know how to play well.

Only one song in Van Spam's career that I think he played decent guitar on was the song in the Twister Soundtrack.

So far i've listened to Diamond Dave everyday for a month now and I truly enjoy that record.

Nothing beats EAT'EM AND SMILE and in SPANISH it sounds great as well!

[BrownSound1]

Hey Sarge....read the first couple of lines of your Skyscraper review. "It's funny.. This album either has allot of fans, and allot of people that don't like it overproduded sound." What the fuck is "allot" or an "overproduded sound?" Non-spelling sumbitch.

[Sarge]

I have no clue what you are talking about. Everything seems to be spelled correctly

I got no problem with DLR Band or EEAS being ranked above some of the CVH albums. Frankly, CVH's last two albums from start to finish weren't quite up to par with the ones that came before(although both did have several tracks just as good as anything else they ever did...talking on the whole here), and Sarge has a point about VH2 that I've often felt: too short and seems like leftovers from VH's first album at times.

Are the honest people on these websites going to stand by and let Arielle Bot and hitchWORLD run out the bandwith with CYBER x rated SPAM and PORN? A threat has been relayed to do this so the ARMY WALL (Classic DLR ARMY) will be shut down to give them more room.

A lot of space could be saved if the bullshit repititous stuff on the bottom of each post in all forums was done away with also. And porn done away with, because it will lead to lawsuits (the Sarah Michelle Geller head on the porn body getting anal sex in hitchWORLD...William Morris Agency and her agent Sam Haskell have already sued over that once. If they see it they most likely will sue again)>

Are honest people going to stand idly by and let these forums become total xxxxxporn sites?

David Lee Roth and the Halens could also sue over their names being dragged thru the mud.

Do you want the FBI to shut all these forums down for good as their crack down on porn on the internet?

Where are your guts???? Ban all porn and cyber Porn submitters for your own best interests now!!!!

Oh my God....... It's an early Katycunt alias!!

Knew her being gone was too good to last, but at least she's as entertaining as ever. You know, in a sort of "off her meds plunging a crucifix into her vag screaming 'Let Jesus fuck you!' " kinda way.
