    No, not at all...

    Ed was fresh out of rehab following a multi-year drug and alcohol binge (been there done that).

    Now that Ed has been clean and sober he's ON FIRE !!!!!!!

    No that is a complete myth going back to 5150.

    When Roth left one of the stupid quotes that came out, from Alex and Eddie was that tuning down a step for Roth caused Ed a problem because it made the strings slack.

    I've posted before about this. There are a few reasons it annoyed me.

    1) It treated the Van Halen fan base as morons. A third of any Van Halen crowd played guitar and knew that was a nonsense.
    2) Many many bands tune down not for vocal reasons which it doesn't make much difference to but to sound heavier.
    3) EEAS wasn't tuned down.
    4) 5150 was.

    Ludicrous.

    Being decent guitar players we know that good guitar players are a dime a dozen...

    It's the song and who sings it in the end...

    backing vocals in the chorus of 'trouble with never' are outstanding. and the bassline under the solo/bridge.

    I think the lyrics to "Blood and Fire" are some of the best on the album. You can hear Dave's joy in just singing the words. After all the shit they went through over the years and they are finally back together. Gives me chills just thinking about it. Still the best solo on the album too.

    "Stay Frosty" is the other song that has killer lyrics. Just amazing. When the hammering guitar comes in, it just wants to make you fucking bang your head.

    I know Stay Frosty is going to be my favorite. Any song that delays that huge "hit" is killer on the car stereo. You really have to CRANK IT and try not to go off the road!

    =VH= are you fucking kidding me??? I cannot believe I'm listening to =VH= !! This record has attitude, muscle and charm. This record should be a blueprint for the new millennium! 60 is the new 30! No band at 60 has ever rocked this hard and sounded this good. Fuck No. These boys need to do a World Tour! I won't even decide which song is best because I need to absorb this experience. Uh oh, album just ended,... repeat

    Whoever mixed this record should be shot in the head. The sound is narrow, with very little separation between the r/l channels. Almost mono except for small bits in a few songs.

    I'm no audio engineer... but damn.... my goldfish could do better.

    Other than that, it's a fucking masterpiece.

    there is a lot to explore on this record. how can they top this record?? =VH= gave us a 6-pack of 200 minutes or so of entertainment. This record has 50 minutes! =VH= was always punctual. here I only wish all the songs were 6 minutes!

    Wow, look at the all the people here tonight ?

    Finally got to play the album.

    Best album I have heard in over 25 years.
    Some of the guitaring is so crazy I burst into laughter
    in a fucking good way.

    Eddie has reclaimed his throne, Dave sounds better than 1984....
    Wolfgang kicks ass (nice to hear more than the root note in time
    with Al's bass drum) And the old reverend Al is John Bonham # 2.

    Honeybabiesweetiedoll blew my mind.

    Theres shit on here that makes metallica sound like journey !

    Welcome back old feeling, never thought we would meet again.

    This totally belongs in the 7 pack, and is easily the best Rock comeback album
    I have heard. I cant even think of something that comes close.

    This after listen 1.
    BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
    Love ya Mary Frances!

    Best album I have heard in over 25 years.
    Some of the guitaring is so crazy I burst into laughter
    in a fucking good way.

    Eddie has reclaimed his throne, Dave sounds better than 1984....
    Wolfgang kicks ass (nice to hear more than the root note in time
    with Al's bass drum) And the old reverend Al is John Bonham # 2.

    Honeybabiesweetiedoll blew my mind.

    Theres shit on here that makes metallica sound like journey !

    Welcome back old feeling, never thought we would meet again.

    This totally belongs in the 7 pack, and is easily the best Rock comeback album
    I have heard. I cant even think of something that comes close.

    This after listen 1.
    I fucking told ya so

    is this unbelievable or what? Ed is all over the place like he wants to show what he kept insinde for the last 28 years...
