The Official Van Halen, "Stay Frosty" review thread

Well, I can see that persons point. My opinion, but that is a little too far. Again, my opinion. That person needs to remember that Dave is writing lyrics for us average "Joes". Whatever sells I guess.

I like that Dave challenges us to think and open our minds with some of his lyrics... it's part of what puts VH on another level. I really didn't mean to imply anything toward you... I save my insults for the people who deserve them, like Von Halen and ZahZoo.

They're two of the most uninformed Van Halen fans I can think of. Both big supporters of Van Hagar (bought records, went to shows, sang along). For them it's Van Halen first, DLR second. Best to avoid them.

One of the best parts of Stay Frosty is that after being a big dumb blues stomp it's actually a pretty smart, symmetrical, philosophical song. Dave Lee Roth goes to the four corners of the Earth to study from the ancient masters. And at the end of the day he finds that self determination is the key. Shallow and deep at the same time. Clever but dumb at the same time. Light and shade, light and shade...

I need to just call off from work and go buy a new bottle of Knob Creek and just chill by the pool today. I've fucking' had it...

Kind of weird to hear Dave sing, " Trust Allah" in this song. WTF!!!
Look at the lyrics, second page at the far right column.

Im miffed at this.

i'm guesing you weren't too concerned when dave told you to reach down between his legs. not all lyrics are literal...

[Sweet Irony]

"Tie up your camel" is my most favorite line on the new album

Yes! My first favorite DLR quote in that thread in VH/DLR Songs & Albums!!

[Loons The Great]

Nope, cause I was 13 yrs old when Panama first came out, smartass. Maybe you werent alive yet or still shitting your diapers but a Van Halen song is only about women boozing and sex, NOT religious crap.

Dude do you understand what the song is about now? Can you focus long enough to grasp why you started posting in this thread? The song is about not trusting any religion. The one line about allah is not an endorsement. Are we on the same page now?

Wtf!!!!!

Trust in Allah - but tie up your camel. It means no deity really has your back..think for yourself and be ready for anything at a moment's notice (ie: Stay Frosty). Duh. Even my 8 year old gets that.

Really?

I thought it meant Dave's water bong was cashed and he needed to refill his bowl...

Talk to devildawg, not me. Apparently I should have had the 8 year old explain it to him. I KNOW you get it. It's not that deep of a tune.
