Eddie Money

[Halen High]

Are there any Eddie Money fans here? I don't think many Aussies are aware of Eddie but I love his story, music and vocals - one of the most unique voices in popular music/rock in my opinion.

His 1982 track, 'Shakin' is probably my favourite Money song (the girl in the video is unforgettable), while 'I Think I'm In Love', 'Walk On Water', and 'Take Me Home Tonight' are others I rank highly. 'Two Tickets to Paradise' always reminds me of the movie 'Carlito's Way'.

[Mr Walker]

I remember listening to 'No Control' a lot back in the day.
'Gimme Some Water' is a pretty heavy track.

[Halen High]

Possibly his best album. On some tracks he did rock hard - Gimme Some Water was certainly one of them.

It's weird how music can bring smells back. I was spending a lot of time on the beach when some of those Eddie Money songs were playing on the radio. People would have their radios on the beach and you would hear them. It brought the smells of Newport Beach back. I could smell the surf and sand.

Yeah, I got some love for Money. I saw him in 2010 and he was FANTASTIC! EVH isn't the only Ed who can still get it done live.

That's the way I remember the late 70's... Hanging out on the beach in La Jolla with my parents and friends... All day long and into the night. The music. The suntans. The swimming. The surf and sand. The bonfire. The barbecuing. And the adults passing the doobie. Eddie Money was part of the soundtrack. I remember the radio stations KGB and KPRI.

I don't know why my post has the thumbs down. That was a good trip.

Has there ever been a better place to hang than La Jolla??? Nope. Damn, out of all the places/times I miss the most from my years in San Diego, that town will always hold a special spot for me...

Baby Hold On To Me is a freakin' great song and I crank that fucker up every time it comes on the radio!!

That's what I'm talking about. I've been "stranded" in Hawaii working since February and still reminisce about La Jolla.

[High Life Man]

Agree with Walker. GSW is a great track.

that's Apollonia Kotero, before Apollonia 6 and Purple Rain.

This one always stuck with me, even though it really wasn't that big of a hit. What stood out in the early days of MTV were the very small handfuls of clips that attempted to tell a story, with a narrative somehow drawn out in the film that just happened to work well with the music. As a result, I always thought this little micro-movie was one of the best videos ever created.

Here, Money portrays an undercover vice cop concerned over the welfare of a young girl, and while it is never quite resolved as to what Money's motivation is, it is assured his actions are honorable ones.

Don't get too excited now comparing EVH with Eddie Money...??? Have another drink dude!

Whoa, by get it done I mean he can still do what made him famous. What the Money man does and what Ed does don't compare.

I saw Eddie Money about 20 years ago and hated him and then hated him since. But I've grown to appreciate his gravely voice and the fact that you're hard-pressed to spend a day on the dial and not come across one of his many hits. "I Wanna Go Back and Do It All Over Because I Can't Go Back I Know" is my favorite of his.

My buddy used to work at a resort in Hampton Beach and Eddie Money would play there every summer. My buddy recalls seeing EM sitting poolside smoking Marlboro Reds and drinking Budweisers all day as his children played on the water slides. I think that’s awesome!

When Nothing to Lose (1988) was released, I was in a long term relationship and knew it would soon be over. I was listening to it all the time while thinking how to break the news to her, and how great it's gonna be, to be single again. When I hear anything off that album - it takes me back to those times.

Yeah I love Eddie's voice and 'I Wanna Go Back...' is a favourite - a track we can all relate to having grown up in the 70s and 80s - the best era (at least I think it was). And cool story about Eddie - thanks.

Cheers bro.

Yep that rocks! Killer song and a great clip. This video is so 70s and one that I love checking out - one of Eddie's best tracks. I wonder where it was shot? Is there a Van Halen connection with the venue?

Thanks Dan.

[Halen High]

that's Apollonia Kotero, before Apollonia 6 and Purple Rain.

Is that right? Thanks - I was going to research her (LOL)......she's bloody hot mate!

A couple more faves, and what is the deal with these Youtube clips and the ads run before you can watch the video? I wind up posting these crummy, nearly static fan-made things instead, just to avoid the ads and get to the music immediately.
