      Awesome. Love it. Let me go ahead and speak for he who will not be named: "Secretly I want a Van Halen bukkake show on my chest." We know you do. We know.

            That's fuckin kick ass!

            Actually has more of a Hot for Teacher vibe I think.

              Exactly what I was thinking. To me, it's like a HFT/It's Showtime hybrid...same kind of song. Blood and Fire was my favorite tune until I heard this.

                    I've heard the brigde and I think it'll be the best track from the album. A true masterpiece.

                      This song reminds me so much of Slam Dunk! off of DLR Band, with the break where Dave talks and everything. It also has a little bit of the vibe from Lose the Dress if it were sped up. I'm hearing a few other songs off that album in there as well. I love it.

                        Wow this song is awesome!

                        The solo brings up a conundrum.

                        If George Lynch steals Eddies technique and sticks it in the solo of 'Tooth and Nail' and then 25 years later Eddie comes back and uses that solo who is in the right?

                            This song slapped me stupid upon first listen all the way thru. I barely shook it off. The heavy weight champs literally delivered the knock out punch with this one. This song in itself exorcised the sammy years from my psychee. God bless you VH!

                              Tell me that ain't on the level of Fair Warning era badassness.
