    I don't even need to hear the whole song. That will sell the album for me.

    Thanks Dave.

    I'm of the opinion that this album is very, very solid.. everything I've heard is upbeat and aggressive.. They're back and you bes get the fuck out of the way.

    For some reason, I'm not totally on board with "Stay Frosty" yet.

    It's definitely a grower for me, and once it kicks into gear it really rocks.

    But the early parts of the song seem a little rough. I know it's a blues riff and Dave is jamming along, but it sometimes sounds like he's trying to jam too many lyrics in at once, and then the "Stay Frosty" comes in a little late and "rushed." Anyone else picking that up?

    There is something funny about the timing on the acoustic part but I think it's deliberate.

    I agree with ya Sesh...it very likely is deliberate.

    But it causes an issue for me for some reason.

    On the other hand, part of the charm of CVH has been the whimsical "fuck it" attitude and just let the tape roll...so I'll look at it from that perspective.

    I agree that vocally, it's an aweful lot crammed in a tight spot, but I also think in about 6 months time, we'll all be singing along with it like we've known the song for years. I love that all of their songs are either "growers" or dynamite right out of the gate. They are for the most part, incapable of producing a clunker. I'm, ofcoarse talking about the band with Dave and Ed at the helm exclusively.

    I can get that sound while sliding up and fretting all the notes and lots of vibrato. Not sure thats a slide he is using but it sounds like one. It might be. I dunno. Ha!

    I don't even know where to begin, so I'll kick the tires here.

    Kick ass!
    The bass, the vocals, the guitar, Alex...

    Holy shit, man...

    The term 'Stay Frosty' is going to do to the blogosphere what 'Bababoey' has done to live newscasts. In only a few days, I've seen it pop up in some funny places.

    But the early parts of the song seem a little rough. I know it's a blues riff and Dave is jamming along, but it sometimes sounds like he's trying to jam too many lyrics in at once, and then the "Stay Frosty" comes in a little late and "rushed." Anyone else picking that up?
    Yeah...a little bit...however, if it didn't have the rushed quality it would have sounded a bit TOO much like a ripoff of Ice Cream Man, rather than like an homage...

    Many of the lyrics are grin-inducingly silly, but once it kicks into gear when the band first joins in...I just can't stop smiling.

    Dave lets a great scream rip toward the the end of tune while Ed is soloing...although undoubtedly Calderone will say said scream was a case of the band sampling it from one of the 6 pack albums

    yeah this is 100% exactly what it is all about. This is like Van Halen Hashish. The best part distilled down into a little chunk. This what we've all been waiting for for 25 years. Stay Fuckin Frosty Motherfuckers!

    Badass down home blues that kicks into a huge stomp with a great tagline! I want to stay frostiest the most! Fuck ya man! Van fuckin' Halen! Fuck! I can't believe they actually made a song like this. So fuckin' stoked to play it all summer long.

    This song is fucken magical. It's one of the best things VH ever did, period. The Rolling Stone reviewer said it's "4 minutes of why VH is awesome." I saw on iTunes that other than Tattoo (which people bought because it was the single), it's the top-selling song on the album.

    I think DLR's "ow-ow-ows" are brought to the front a wee-bit too much, but that's my only beef here. His bluesy voice--which cannot be duplicated--is on fully display and when the electric and acoustic guitars smash together, it's boner time. The ending is phenomenal, as well. Great number!

    Do we know if it's DLR playing the acoustic? I'd like to think that's him--it's certainly his sound. If it is him, I hold out hope that it can be done live.
