Eddie burning it up DOA

[Nitro Express]

I love the fast picking and raw brilliance. Stuff like this just reminds me of what all the fuss was about.

Yeah...it's easy to get all caught up in the bullshit of the past 25 years, and forget just how brilliant this band was during their heyday. Listen to it a couple of times, and focus on all the parts of this band...from Dave...to Alex and Mike...to spED...to the background vocs.

Then you throw the song in...which in my estimation...is a top five staple, and typifies what made VH great, and you have pure, unadulterated fucking bliss.

Go ahead...throw this song on in your car tomorrow...roll down the windows...and start driving...

Then measure how fast you're going by the end...I dare ya...

LOL, Dave is getting about 40% of the lyrics right.... Love the rawness, though...

That's 35% better than normal!

Witnessed CVH firsthand back in the day. Never bothered me a bit that Dave missed words or lines.

It's all about the attitude!

[ELVIS]

Sounds like they're all drunk to me...

[Carloscda]

No one ends a song better than Van Halen!!

[Seshmeister]

That's because you still equate the sound of people having fun with alcohol...

[Nitro Express]

Lot's of mistakes and improvisation. I love the rawness and attitude. Probably full of Schlitz and cocaine because the train is chugging and blowing it's horn to get the hell out of the way.

[Nitro Express]

The battle axe is coming in straight for the head about to let the blood and brains fly. Now that's rock and roll! Owwwwwww!

Am I the only one who read this as "Eddie bumming it up DOA"?

Cheers! :bottle:

[ELVIS]

No, I equate the sloppy, out-of-tune, speeding up and slowing down playing and lousy vocals with alcohol...

[Nitro Express]

I think it's all fucked up in a good way. It's like Live at Winterland where Jimi goes fuck it hell I don't give a damn.

[ELVIS]

That sucks as well...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[diamondsgirl]

I think it all sounds cool. Dave's screams are epic.

And I like the youtube...surprisingly, some pics there that I have never seen.

Thanks, Nitro.
