    Drop In The Bucket

    I've always been a huge fan of ALAE, very underappreciated album. However, the song "Drop in The Bucket" has never been a fave of mine. Lately though I can't stop playing the damn song! I'm literally addicted to it, on the way to work I have to crank it up. Get's me in a semi good mood for the 9 hours of hell to come. Your thoughts on the song?

    Yeah I like it too. Great solo by Jason Becker at the end of the song. This album is growing on me more and more.
    Achtung Baby I say, I say...

      Totally agree with you on that bro. I always liked it but it has jumped up to the top, it gets better with age.

        That song is one of my favs off the album, always has been. "It's Showtime!" is the best song off that album though.

          i love that album.
          i remember when it came out i was dissappointed there was no vai,
          but then i pressed 'play'!! whew! jason becker.
          the whole thing fuckin rox.
          steve hunter's work is awesome too.
          i like every song, but the swampy swagger of sensible shoes and the
          boogie metal on crank that is showtime are the highlights.
          but yeah bill, i love that song, just the whole vibe of the album is cool.

            DROP IN THE BUCKET and SHOWTIME are what made Jason Becker and DLR a great team!

            I'd take Jason anyday over EVH!

            Another great tune, DOGTOWN SHUFFLE.

            If anyone doesn't like this cd, then they didn't like Van Halen!

                  I feel the same way! The song has such a great chorus, it makes you want to freak out.

                    Is this one of the 2 songs that Jason wrote when Dave asked him if he wanted any of his own songs on the album? Dave said the album was almost or completed when Jason came on board.

                    I know one was It's showtime.

                      Yep. Those were the two tunes that Jason co-wrote.

                          No problem at all. What are your thoughts on Jasons playing on the album. I've seen opinions here ranging from "It's great" to "nothing special" . What are your thoughts?

                            Drop In The Bucket has always been a grate tune...

                            It's Showtime is good but it's a total Van Halen rip off...

                              This makes no sense at all! A Van Halen rip-off??
