Fair Warning vs 1984?

[ELVIS]

Well, I got the ultimate idea...

I'm gonna keep my own Van Halen mix CD in my pocket for the rest of my travels...

And when I'm on that island I'm gonna force the natives to build me a CD player while the native women feed me fish and coconut milk...

First VH Song I ever heard was So This I Love. Many summers a ago when I used to record video's off MTV on my VHS. This was before 1984 came out and I was starting to get into harder rock stuff. I loved it from the start. But a few months later this incredible video Jump hit the air waves and I was blown away. I must have watched it 50 times a day. (I still have my vhs tape with it) I begged my parents for 7 bucks to buy me the album and I got it at Fedco. ...A few months later I got my mom to buy me the other 5 as she was also digging them. Fair Warning was so different than the rest of them to me but would become my favorite. I recently have been playing 1984 a lot. But, out of the 7. 1984 is my least favorite. I still love 1984 more than any other band.

I used to cut out fake guitars out of cardboard and paint them up like Eddies. Even put a whammy bar on them attached with a wing nut. HAHA!! I would have my own concerts every night in my bed room and I was Eddie. haha. Those were the days!!

It's 'Fair Warning'.

1984 would come near the bottom of my 6-pack - I don't think it's aged as well.....

DD would be bottom of mine, but I would have to choose Fair Warning over 84. FW has this dark "we wear leather all day" vibe that takes me back to a time of smoking joints and driving around in my buddy's Trans Am. 1984 , although still awesome and perhaps VH's peak, had kind of a
do I dare say, commercial 80's vibe. Diver Down was the begining of this and Fair Warning was the tail end of that darker late 70's early 80's vibe. I'm really just talking vibe and feel here. Not the songs themselves because I would put some of 84 as the best VH ever.

Brethren and Sistren,

I probably have listened to FW a hell of a lot more than 1984 as an adult. But DD and 1984 are the soundtracks to my teen years when Hustler Scratch-n-Sniff centerfolds introduced me to laboratory-engineered vaginal aromas. So from an emotional and aromatic perspective, I have too many positive associations with 1984. It's my favorite because it brings me back to some fond memories. But FW is the album that gets you through the day when work sucks, the ex leaves you and takes half your shit, and you realize that you never achieved any of your dreams (not me, of course, I'm rollin' baby!)....

That is all.

1984 was my first van album so has a place in my heart , but FW has a place in my stereo

[Jagermeister]

Fair Warning:
Awesome tracks: Mean Street, Dirty Movies, Sinners Swing and Hear About It Later, Unchained
Sub-par or filler: So this Is Love?
Low point: Sunday Afternoon In The Park, One Foot Out The Door

You have to be fucking joking!

You can make a baby with one ball. Didn't you see Meet The Fockers?

Fair Warning is perfect from start to finish , could have done without I`ll Wait on 1984 but it`s damn near perfect

Fair Warning has the best memories. The week I bought that album was the year we had a foreign exchange student living with us. Luckily she was pretty cute. I was in my room listening to my new Fair Warning album when there was a knock at the door and when I said come in there she was in this little nighty and a nervous sexy smile. Hint Hint. One thing led to another and when we got down to busy Push Comes to Shove was playing. I never got laid to 1984 so I will have to go with Fair Warning.
