    I really want to like this one because I loved the music on the original demo.

    But I think I hear him talking about setting up a Facebook page at the and if the clip and that kind if stuff drives me nuts

    i think this might be a "I'm just a poor caveman and your internet is so strange to me " song.
    I might I have to throw a 15 yard penalty flag on this one. Will need to hear all of it.

    This is a smokin version from the old club days, man I love it I'm glad I'm alive and well to actually hear my favorite band nailing it like this, its a home run.

    Van Halen baby !!

    Same here - absolutely flies, this track. It's the "On Fire"/"atomic Punk" of this album.

    I can totally see the tune on the Heavy Metal III Soundtrack......the Green Ball being chased....The miners and the Chicks in the Flying Machines.....So Sweet.


    Even though I kinda hate to hear the old riffs on a new Song.....I do not mind it on this one. This is right atm my absolute favorite tune on the album so Far. Mindblowing. Even some of Dave's old fashioned Throat Sing Screams......Steller! Been in my head for over 6 hours today all day. My work is talking to me and I am singing staccato:

    Outta Space Outta Space.

    This is the most classic VH sound I hear so far, and I love when Dave just blows the roof off the lyrical choices like this.

    Bumpersticker on my Rocket's ass:

    Go Home. The Earth Is Full.

    After detailed scientific investigation it has been determined that Outta Space is the best song on this amazing CD

    Post Outta Space-Dave's Genius Shining Through

    This track does'nt get the props it deserves, For whatever reason, But it's my current favorite, And has been for a few days now. What strikes me are Dave's lyric and delivery. Not an easy song to put words to, Or sing. Eddie is doing the power cord thing, The solo is not blowing away the tune, It's a Dave tune all the way. I mean you else can come up with; COUNTERBLAST, INTERSTELLAR, FACIAL, FULL BOMBER STICKER ON MY ROCKETS ASS: GO HOME, THE EARTH IS FULL. I mean come on, It's fucking killer stuff. Add the fast paced rhythm section, And it just takes me to another place. Dave is stellar throughout, He owns Outta Space.

    People are sayin' he's really reachin' for it, but if you possibly can, picture a '78 Dave singing this. Oh this song is great. Top notch lyrics.

    Can't agree with you Hain23x about the Facebook reference. I laughed out loud when I first heard that! It's the perfect entrance into "Future ain't what it used to be..."

    Outta space can mean different things throughout the song - our world is literally in outta space - also in our little world we are running out of space - it can be a drug reference - an isolation reference - a Bowie reference - an admission of our wasteful lives - maybe there's more...
    It works on all levels. Dave is a levels man. He blows my mind... into outta space.

    The most troubling thing with Dave singing in this higher register is understanding what he's saying. The opening line to this song sounds like, "need no modem and a Chevy..." I had no idea what the line was 'til I read it. It's still great of coarse.

    I agree totally. When I read it I got it. It should NOT be a single. Be realistic. Blood and fire is clear. This one takes patience but is great all the same.

    I love this song.
    It flows and is easy to sing, the lyrics at first were kinda cheesy but make sense now. Eddie kicks ass on it.
    My second favorite on the album .

    If you play this song at full blast in your truck.....it will knock the fizz right out of your Big Gulp.

    Ah hell yeah I'm listen to the Pasadena 1976 show where they're playin' this. I fell in love with this riff and now hearing it from 1976 is awesome. It never grabbed me until 2012. I guess the vocal arrangement is just better now. This song always gets me moving.

    Sort of creative and kind of fun.

    This is my fave track on the album by far. I love the whole CD but for me this one really rocks! So much energy and the usual smart lyrics from Roth. I listen to it when I work out! :-)

    A great track all in all!

    Eighty acres of non-stop shopping has somewhat changed the pace.
