Just pretend for a moment...

[Firebrand]

...CVH announces a one-time, two-song appearance for the R&R Hall of Fame performance....they ask you...

"What songs do we play??"

OK - so what do you tell them?

Mind you, this ain't 1980 any more...lots of miles on the vocal chords and fingers and skins...what's still gonna let 'em shine but ain't gonna make 'em look...overdrawn?

[Carmine]

Everybody wants some...


....and Unchained.

[WARF]

Little Dreamer (this song he sings the best nowadays... no vocal strain)
Me Wise Magic

[rustoffa]

Take Your Whiskey Home

Little Dreamer

[Dan]

Light Up The Sky
Jump

[sadaist]

Something from VH1, RWTD, Jamies Cryin, etc...

Close with Jump...Americas Van Halen song.

They would have to be the more commercially loved songs. Although I'd love to hear On Fire, it just wouldn't work.

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

Dance The Night Away, there's the commercial song, and Romeo Delight.

[Terry]

Well, you know one of 'em is gonna be Jump. Not because I want to hear it, but because it would just be a natural reflex for all four CVH members to wanna do it...

Yeah, On Fire won't work anymore. Dave ain't gonna be hitting those notes again anytime soon.

I'd probably say Jump and Unchained.

With Jump the synths could be pre-programmed and Ed could just play guitar over them. Unchained the band should be able to knock out of the park.

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

Thought you'd never miss me till I got a phat city address, not stop talker, what a rocker!!! Blue eyed murder in a size 5 dress.

[DeadMan1984]

Runnin' with the Devil and Can't get this Stuff No More

[NightProwler]

Where Have All The Good Times Gone

Ain't Talking Bout Love

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

Can't Get This Stuff No More would be to tragic. Just like the lyrics suggest. Dave is singing about a negative situation during the 96 reunion and the lyrics went right over Edwards head.

[Matt White]

PANAMA & UNCHAINED


YES & YES

[MAX]

Unchained for sure. Dunno about the other one?

[FORD]

ANYTHING but fucking Jump or Panama!

I'm still surprised Ed allowed Dave to use those lyrics. Dave sure did hit the nail on the head with it though.

Kinda moot anyway...

...as if Ed is gonna actually ask the fans what they'd want ot hear...

...like he gives a shit.

[Redballjets88]

Ed was completely fucking clueless as to what the song meant!

In the series of guitar mag interviews that he did in 1996/97 after the "reunion" collapsed, Eddie whined that he didn't know what the song was about "Can't get WHAT no more, Dave???"

Hell, it never seemed like much of a mystery to me....

Tell me what is it we're pretendin'?
Not to know, and who needs proof?
I don't need so much to remember
No, no. That's how it is, when you tell the truth
Woo!

How many times does somebody lie
'Til patience (Ahh-ahh-ahh) runs her course?
Keep that in mind, when we say goodbye
'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more

I guess if you're living in denial like Eddie Van Heineken, you might be able to miss the meaning there :confused:

[bueno bob]

I always thought Dave was singing about Eddie's hip?!?

:confused:

You better not say that to Eddie unless you're wearing a cup!
