Am I the only one who thinks Outta love again is one of the BEST VH songs ever??

No, you aren't!
The main riff is huge and Dave's vocals are amongst his very best. VHII is often mentioned here as the most exciting album, by an inch...posted by Ellyllions Men say, "I'll never understand women." That's a very lonely place to be if you're a woman because we don't understand half of what we do either.posted by ALinChainz Katy, Pipe down, pump off, and fly back to your cave you old bat. -

YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!!
Van Halen II is a phenominal album and "outta Love Again" ... awesome ...just awesome. And although I've been seeing them every time they've come to the area beginning with WACF, I've never seen them do it live.
But I will say, for those of you lucky enough to have caught the tours from the first 5 albums ....unreal. There was NO band that could touch them. (And I only list the first 5 because talking started to take the place of a lot of lyrics during the "1984" tour ...sad but true)
Hopefully someday someone will put together a live video compilation of their perfomrances through the years so everyone can see what they did ...which was quite simply ....REIGN !!!
I won't get into a pissing match about this singer, that singer blah blah blah ... but the music world needs the original line-up back together so that "Me Wise Magic" can be be expanded upon.
They might fight, but soemthing happens when these guys get together ...something that could once again ...be unstoppable.
just sayin'Comment

Well, although I know I'm not in the majority as far as these forums are concerned, but from day 1 I've been an Edward Van Halen fan ...period. So whoever HE comes with, I will go to see whenever they come to the area.
But I also believe in some truths, whether I share them alone or not, I believe them to be true.
Edward changed how the guitar is played forever, as Jimi did. Edward is yet another innovator. No, he didn't create hammer-ons and pull-offs, but he incorporated them into a full blown style.
David is an unbelievable lyricist and quite possibly the best front man of all time.
Sammy is a good, vanilla flavored rocker that churns out good, safe and predictable tunes ...that sell. They aren't necessarily better than David's, but they got more radio play.
Fine.
Van Halen albums may have sold more with Sammy than David, but anyone with a level head will agree ... the David years, more specifically for me, the first 4 albums .... are as legendary as the band was. And the last 2 albums were great, but for various reasons, for me, show a decline in the machine.
I've heard David has put some great stuff out, which I have to admit, I haven't heard. But thanks to this forum and some level headed members, I will be checking some of his stuff out.
In the meantime ....here's hoping the original four eventually work things out !!!Comment

Van Halen II is a fucking beast!
By far the worst sounding recording...paper thin drums, thin guitar (for the most part)
I haven't bought re-mastered one yet...
