I worked with a guy once who was an equal at the time and said that quote to me. Kind of an asshole type guy. Flash ahead a few months later and he became my boss. so I dug a tunnel out of there and when I turned my 2 week notice into him I said the quote back to him.Originally Posted by conmee
Eat Us and Smile!
Alright!!! Lemme' se yo hands!!
I don't know if it's the fact I'm listening to this song on computer speakers, but this one is the biggest letdown to me. Something isn't right about it, isn't mixed right, vocals too high and guitar a little subdued sounding, or maybe that it's not in the brown sound tone, new lyrics and vocal delivery...I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem to have the same bite of the original.
Official clip....
Eat Us And Smile - The Originals
"I have a very belligerent enthusiasm or an enthusiastic belligerence. I’m an intellectual slut." - David Lee Roth
"We are part of the, not just the culture, but the geography. Van Halen music goes along with like fries with the burger." - David Lee Roth
Now although I do not play in a cover band, in fact I play in a thrash metal band we ARE gonna re-make this song and go into it in middle of one of our tunes. We started working on it last night. Gonna be killer!!! We are opening for 3 Inches of Blood next month and plan on doing it then. I will get a vid of it up here. Hopefully we do it justice. You all can be the judge of that.
"My Karma just ran over your Dogma".....
Only Dave. Fucking love it!
My favorite line too....that's not just 'creative' or 'clever'....that's fuckin' genius!!! Love ya Dave!
Stay Frosty!
THE DAY IS DONZO LET'S HAVE SOME FUNZO!!
at the moment, 'bullethead' is not among my faves; that'll change though.
the popular variant of the dog/hydrant analogy here is 'sometimes you're the statue, sometimes you're the pidgeon'.
And sometimes a song is better left on the cutting room floor...
The jamming in this song is nice, but Dave sounds like he made those silly lyrics up on the spot...
What does the lyric "A Different Kind Of Truth" have to do with driving, bombing the moon, driving in traffic or anything ??
The first line is cool, but it's lame for a 56 year old Roth who usually has interesting lyrics...
Cringe...
"True"

Fuck Scott Weiland. Fucking asshole. I get trashed all the time and still go to work. And my job sucks ass. -ODShowtime
It's just one of those songs where he sticks in all the one liners he has come up with/picked up.
Like the line on YFLM 'In God we trust, everybody else pays cash' these are only cool if you haven't heard them before.
Yeah, but Dogtown Shuffle has some thought put into the lyrics...
I spent all my thanks...
Does he not forget and keep slipping from first to second person?
To be honest I don't pay a huge amount of attention to lyrics.
I don't either, but these are not good...
I've seen the dogma-karma line on a bumper sticker once. Dave's writing is a culmination of originality and lines or catch phrases he's seen and heard elsewhere. He didn't coin the phrase, "the light at the end of the tunnel is the front of an on coming train" that he used in Perfect Timing, however, his "due to budget constraints" amendment in Bullethead is great.
You take it as face value, could be metaphorical.And sometimes a song is better left on the cutting room floor...

This is from a guy that encourages people to get the fuck out of the comfort zone because that's where the rewards are.
So when I hear a lyric like "if everything's coming your way then you're going the wrong way" I take it differently than someone driving into traffic. But your milage may vary.
For me it's one of the weakest songs on the album!!
you really drive this way to piss me off.....
this is great...
No, it's silly...
Bullethead is about Dave's cock, duh.
Bullethead is my least favorite on the album ...
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
Maybe in your mind...
I was being facetious, you dill.
"Boldly going nowhere" what a great oxymoron.
Anybody know the words to the original Bullethead? After decades of listening to that without understanding about 90% of what Dave's saying, I'm now curious to know if any of the lines are even similar in theme to the new version.
Well I still love it. It doesnt have the energy of 1977 but i'm happy it made the album. It's still a cool simple tune. Dave does a good job on it for his age.
It would've been alot better if it was mixed right. Dave's vocals are too high in the mix and Ed's guitar is too low, and the production sounds really muddy on this one.
You are exactly right.
I figured out the lyrics (for Me anyway): "If everyone is coming your way, you're facing the wrong way"-----How does a hitchhiker stand and which way do they face?
For me it is an updated version of "Running with the Devil".
If you think about hitchhiking all the way through the lyrics....it makes more sense to me.
Going slowly....how many roads must a man walk down.....ect. It is about exploring the world more slowly....and going your own way.
I think it is a kick-ass song.

Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends. The women start to hike their skirts up. I didn't have a clue. That is when I kinda learned how to smile a lot. One Two Three Fouir fun ter thehr fuur.
I love Bullethead. Haven't had a chance to read freaking lyrics yet, so I'm still grasping a little bit at a time. At first I thought it was "bite a bullet" not "bomb the moon". I really don't think the lyrics on this album can be taken at face value. Then again, it could be that I'm just thinking way too much thanks to academia. To me, Bullethead slams Sammy. We'll see if I still feel that way once I get to really sit down and analyze this sucker.

And you might ask yourself, if you hate "Bullethead" where the title of the album came from:

heard bullethead on XM BONEYARD channel today....pretty cool! DJ was really talking up the CD and tour
I used to just skip this song, but it isn't bad. now i actually like it, I also didn't like trouble with never at first either
We're gonna leave you smokin like the slow guy in Chernobyl
Has anyone noticed at the end of the song it sounds like someone is making a car screeching noise with their mouth? "Rrrrrrtt!" Or is it just my imagination (runnin away with me)?
Almost like Gene and Paul in the background of the "Destroyer" version of "Detroit Rock City".
"Don't want 'em to get you goat, don't show 'em where it's hid." - David Lee Roth
Yeah, that's Dave. The spoken part of this soung sounds like he could have recorded it back in the day - I'm sure he didn't but it sounds like the old Dave. Especially when he drags out the words "I'm a bullethead..."
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
Geez, I fuckin' love this tune. Totally kick ass !!!
When I first heard it, lyrically, I too, thought it might be about that fat guy in chickendick ...
Hot dog and a shake
Ok, quick question . Anyone else catch Dave's lyrics on Bullethead???
What is he saying??
"Stop driving a Dodge, start driving a Hybrid"
OR
"Some days you're the dog, Some days you're the hydrant."
Don
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
It's "Some days you're the dog, Some days you're the hydrant."
*but your misheard line is pretty funny. Great for an election year

“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”
The slow bluesy part of this song.....motherfuck! I swear it sounds like Dave circa 1979. I haven't heard his voice quite like that in a long, long time. So damn cool. One of my favorite spots of the whole album right there.
Well Ima bulletheeeaaaaad......hurt me!
