If you could permanently remove one song from the setlist, which would it be?

[vaijuju]

in 2012 i've no pleassure to listen Runnin With the devil or Jump!

[binnie]

Pretty Woman.

Never dug it.........

Someone said in another thread, and I agree, that if they played "Intruder" before Pretty Woman it would make it a whole lot better.

What makes Pretty Woman more tolerable than YRGM or Jump in my opinion is that it moves quickly. But that stretch in the current setlist of Pretty Woman / Drum solo / YRGM...I hate to want to get part of a 110 minute concert that I paid good money for over with, but when I was at the shows, I was thinking exactly that.

People complained when YRGM was the opener and I pretty much agree. But there was one saving grace with that--it got that song out of the way.

Voted Pretty Woman, but gave I'll Wait serious consideration as it's never been a particular favorite of mine. I don't mind Jump, but I wish it was somewhere else in the set list instead of the "encore" slot. Also wish they'd rotate Beats Workin, As Is and Outta Space in as well.

I'm going to look at this like a trade in sports.. If you want quality, you have to give quality. I'm for trading a SGMAD for LUTS. I'd gladly trade Outta Love Again for D.O.A. and how about And The Cradle Will Rock for One Foot Out the Door?

It was left off the setlist for all but 4 shows this year. I'm only considering songs that it's obvious they have no intention of dropping.

I will say this though, I didn't mourn not hearing "Jamie's Cryin'" for most of the shows. It's always been one of my least favorite songs. I'm pretty sure it was the last song written for the first album and to me, it sounds like it was written quickly.

A sizable number of fans don't care for Little Dreamer, they think it's a buzzkill. I for one love Little Dreamer, but I think Jamie's Cryin' is the buzzkill.

Little Dreamer was fantastic in 07-08

Not sure if they ever squeeze Drop Dead legs in there but if not they should

[Zing!]

You Really Got Me. They owe no favors to The Kinks, and I'd rather hear WHATGTG? than YRGM again live...

Why Can't This Be Love.

And just like that, it's done.

Jump AND I'll Wait. They both need to be gone.

Why? Because classic Van HALEN is timeless.

ADKOT works because it's the classic Van HALEN sound. It doesn't matter that some of the songs were written in 1976 (She's The Woman) or that some were written in 1985 (Blood and Fire) and that others were written in the present day, it all sounds like timeless, classic Van HALEN.

Jump and I'll Wait sound like exactly what they are - mid 80's synth pop. The only two songs this band ever recorded which are not "timeless". And big hits or not, it's time to leave them in the past, and leave the synthesizer on Howdy Doody Mountain next time they hit the road.

I'm actually surprised they haven't busted that one out yet. The fact that it actually turned up in soundcheck form on the Velveetapalooza 2004 tour means that Eddie (even in the sorry shape he was in then) was interested in playing it.....

[Green Manalishi]

Please lose Pretty Woman . It just seems so...so...dare I say..Cover Bandish...THERE.....I said it !
It is totally replaceable by ANY other tune from the first 4 albums (especially Fair Warning )

[VanHalenI]

Drop Pretty Woman and play Drop Dead Legs. ..

[Coyote]

Pretty Woman

[Coyote]

Jamie's crying. Totally pointless song, with bad verses and even worse chorus.

I'll let that slide on account of you being from Sweden...
