    You Wear It Well This song features a stellar tapping intro that sounds like an extraterrestrial on acid!


    That was a description of a tentative song from '99, but the description sounds like it could be what became china town.

    Terrible video, awesome song. A bit surprised with the lack of a solo.

    Nostalgia is a form of denial. I love denial. I like selective amnesia, too. Mix the two and you've got a hell of a weekend-DLR

    Pretty huge fail on the attempt to cover up the fade out. If someone's going to make a fake, at least make it sound like you're trying!

    Have I mentioned lately that I think this song is bad asssssssssssssssssssssss? It's tracks like this that make us remember why Spicoli hired Van Halen to play his birthday after saving Brooke Shields from drowning.
    My karma just ran over your dogma.

    Spicoli was a smart dude.......Aloha Mr. Hand...............This track shreds....I think Ed was out to prove something on this album cuz this shit sounds heavy...."AS IS" smokes too. Dave's vocals are killer

    I wish the boys would open the show with this one...you know the big guitar and drum intro of a VH show, and then Eddie and Wolf kick off that intro and boom!!! There's a barn burner of a show starter. I am so excited about getting this new record...cmon Tuesday. The solo Eddie takes on China Town fades out right as it starts and its driving me crazy!!! It kinda reminds me of the Sinners Swing! solo maybe....cant wait to hear!!!

    This song is seriously good...

    Heavy lifting as Dave would say...

    Hottest tune since Romeo Delight...

    Gives the listener a totally different image of David Lee Roth than the shoe shine boy in overalls and cap...

    Ed sounds like Dimebag trying to play like Ed in the solo section. Love this solo.

    I love the switch to half time before the solo, the truncated end to the solo and the berserk drumming in the final chorus. But hey, if Sammy says they're uninspired, they must have found some way to phone all of that inspired playing in. Such an ass.

    Help with Chinatown Lyrics

    Dude, did Roth change the lyrics on the record or something?

    1. A buck is still a buck in Shanghai sometimes a buck is all you earn (This is what dave has written in the CD)

    Okay, I know he says a buck is still a buck in Shanghai but what does he say after that? It sounds nothing like what he has written down!

    2. Also, why did he leave out the chorus lyric? What does he say after "Welcome to Chinatown?"

    I am baffled why he left that lyric out... GREAT song though!

    For the love of Dave in a loin cloth does anyone know what the lyric is after to "Welcome to Chinatown?" It's driving me crazy... I'm singing the first part and have to stop because I can't figure out what he is saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the only thing I notice is that I can pick up lyrics much more clearly on my shitty computer speakers than in the car.

    It's songs like this that make me so happy I just bought a monster new speaker set up last month. God damn I am single handedly bringing down the properties values up in this bitch! Shit is LOUD! I don't want to hear this song quietly! I don't want to hear it on little computer speakers or even in the car. I want all the angry woofers and tweeters and that fuckin' 12 incher pounding out the bass and drums. I'm addicted to the Brown Sound and I love it!

    I can't believe it! It's real Van Halen again.
    gnaw on it
