My favorite track off the new Lp from the 90 second samples along with Chinatown and Stay Frosty. The riff and melody of this track is so Van Halen...classic stuff

[hain23x]

The pre chorus and chorus are incredible

Interesting that VanHalen twitter account retweeted TwitterMusic:

EXCLUSIVE: Check out this clip of @VanHalen's "You and Your Blues"! Their new album is out next week! #VHcountdown

[BALLYJUNKIE]

with a title like "you and your blues i was hoping to hear dave play some bluesy harmonica licks ......

[VAiN]

The tone has a hint of 'Don't Tell Me (what cheese can do)', but it works.. it's big and fat and chugs, like hagar, but with none of the cheesey aftertaste. I'm diggin it!

[Combat Ready]

Seriously---Song is bad ass and backing vocals lack nothing......

[guwapo_rocker]

I like it. I like it a lot!

[kingedward]

My second favorite, After Chinatown. I'm really liking the tone Edwards trying on this stuff. Liking Dave's voice more and more.

The music sounds like a Van Hagar leftover from the Balance era, and Dave, yet again, works his lyrical magic on a leftover Hagar era tune. Makes you wonder what Dave could've done with all of the better riffs of the Hagar years that Sam totally ruined with his shit lyrics and grating voice. I think this is what 90's Van HALEN would've sounded like had Dave never left.

If you play this song backwards you can hear Dave saying "fuck Sammy Hagar" when he says "now everybody suffers" at end of the song. No joke. I hear a few other things in there too....with a little imagination.

I have a feeling this song is going to be one of the best on the album...but man...thats a pretty tall order!!! Theyre all killer. When is the last time that you bought an album by anyone, where every track was great? If you have, I wanna know what it is. Imagine how Sammy Hagar must really feel after hearing this new music...LOL Only a moron like Hagar would be stupid enough to publicly say that this music is bland. I guess after rolling up his bright red and yellow sleeves and writing his super inspired tunes for Chickensoup, aaaand being all proud of it, then hearing this new VH...its gotta sting a bit. LOL Oh well Sammy, youve always got your birthday to look forward to...

[SNIPER]

I love the lyrics in this one. Really makes the song better. This one is now in my top 5 off this cd.
