Well cut it then.
This is the 21st century there is absolutely zero stopping you.
I can't understand this ridiculously prehistoric attitude people have saying that an album should have less songs. Maybe in the olden times of LPs that made some sense but not now, you want as much output to choose from as possible.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I respect and enjoy reading Elvis' posts and opinions, but I have to disagree on 'Beats Workin'... I think it has tons of swagger and the chorus carries the song for me, but I will admit... it could have been better with a little more attention to the lyrics and melody lines in the verses.Comment

As I've said before 49 minutes of music v 15?Comment

This is the song that I wouldn't share with anyone when discussing new Van Halen...
The oxycontin meets helium vocals is the same high range crap that nobody around here liked when Dave first started doing it on ALAE...
Although he sings in the high register better than he used to, it's better he keep it to a minimum...
The jamming in the song is cool as anything on the album, but the MTV theme song sounding riff sounds way too sleeze rockish and dated...
Another one for the cutting room floor...
the song rocks and got a great riff and intro ....if Daves vocals are weak take it up with Dave ."I Don't feel tardy...."

i'd like to think that the placement of Beats Workin' at the end of the disc is kind of a message. you know, a "in the past we had our issues, but this project wasn't so bad" type of thing. maybe summing up their feelings toward each other.
or i could be reading way too far into it.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Dave's take on Celebutards...
Hey... as long as you generate pageviews for the bloggers you can make a couple a grand for attending a party in Vega$$ or doing a vapid un-reality show (see Lohan, Kardassian, et al)
Beats fuckin Workin' baby!Comment
