The line is from a notoriously infamous New York Post headline.

Thanks! Gunman forces woman to decapitate tavern owner. It think I need to find the rest of this story.

Chinatown kicks some SERIOUS SERIOUS ass , it's even better than EEAS ! im very happy with this ! i dont mind the sampled old 1978 screams, it delivers !

[wiseguy]

Great tune .....but ....
i think they used sample screams from RWTD !!! ...no joke , same way he sampled ShooBop and Thug pop screams in 2003 ...
it's the 3:11 scream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IArxakPsPE0
remember the sampled screams from 2003 ???

Now everytime I hear that, thats all I think. dammitt!!!!
I hope you are wrong but it definetly sounds like it. oh well.

[DLR'sCock]

This album is going to tear people's faces off!!!!

Yeah. No way it could be the same man with the same vocal chords making the same "whoo" sound.

Um....it's Dave going "whoo". I'm fairly confident he can still produce that simple sound. Now, if he were to try & replicate the beginning intro long scream in Unchained 30 years later you may have a point. I just can't see him taking a simple "whoo" from an old tune because he is unable to make an acceptable sounding one now.

[Calderone]

believe it or not , i compared them side to side , same thing i did back in 2003 with shoobop and thug pop , maybe they added that as a homage or something

[Warham]

It's hot! It's sexy! I want to fuck it really, really fast!

You tease.

[Diamondjimi]

Love this tune. Kickin ass a nd taking names in 2012!!!

[vh rides again]

This is the first song I've heard that I didn't have to think about whether I liked it or not.

It sounds really good, fast paced and kicking ass.

I'm hoping there are more songs like this on the cd.

Sounds fun!

[Northern Girl]

I'm pretty sure that's Ozzy singing the words China Town!
















LOL. Just fucking with the nitpickers.

But it does sound like Ozzy on the chorus!

[Carmine]

Holy fuckin' shit!!!!













....carry on

[Coyote]

So this is what it feels like to have a 10"...
