Tough choice, but I'm giving the nod to ATBL. The brownsound
is strong with that one Obi Wan.
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
Unchained
Those songs scare my toy poodle
I'm a van hagar fan and my pussy hurts

This might be sacrelige but "ATBL" has never been a song that did anything for me.
I know some people rate it highly but I don`t know why.
It`s probably my least favourite song off "Van Halen".
"Unchained" on the other hand is the shit.

Unchained is a rock classic from Van Halen with a great opening riff by Eddie which is better than ATBL!!!
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
Unchained by miles. Even EVH thought ATBL was a stupid song when he wrote it. The opening riff is cool, but I think it is Dave who saves that one.

I'd have to go with Unchained as well.

ATBL is my choice. I love that opening! The solo is cool, Daves voice rocks.

I gotta go with unchained.

UNCHAINED is the anthem of all that is VAN HALEN, but AINT TALKIN BOUT LOVE rocks too!

I would have to give the nod to UNCHAINED, but ATBL is a kick ass tune. Listen to Ed workin the flanger in the middle of ATBL when they slow the song down. Guitarist's didn't have a clue what this young guitar wizard was doing at the time. The sounds he was coming up with using stomp boxes was way ahead of it's time. To bad he is just a shell of what he once was.

Unchained has to be the definitive Van Halen riff. Powerful as hell with a very positive upbeat feel to it. But what I like about ATBL is the dynamics; the way the song goes from distorted to clear and loud to quiet. That sound too, which is actually an electric sitar! Amazing! One of my all time favourites, this song really moves me I have to say.

ATBL was the first full Van Halen song i learned. The band i use to be in even played it at skewl, such a great day that was. But im goin to have to go with Unchained. The opening riff on that song is great!! Even the verse riff, and Daves voice man!!! Both great songs, but Unchained all the way

Gotta go with Unchained...That awesome crunchy guitar riff with Eddie using that MXR Flanger....This song still stands up as a hard rock/heavy metal classic and always will!!!

Unchained. I love when the drums and bass kick in. Atbl is great too!

Unchained is the best song Van HALEN ever recorded.

The riff I think of right away is Fools.
I give Unchained the nod over ATBL.
Now, I realize that ATBL is an important song, but it does little for me. It's probably my least favorite on the album.

Unchained... Mean Street is probably the best though... (If you ask me!)

Still Unchained!
ATBL, great solo,and Dave's voice is spot on.
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
ATBL is starting to take over!
I'm feelin' positively Unchained, mama!!
I am going to have to differ and say ATBL.
I love the riffs on that song.
I like unchained.. but not as much as some here.
Breasts,

Unchained by a Mile. That track crushes!

Not only Unchained, but the Oakland '81 version of Unchained is in the dictionary under "RAW"....

Tough choice, but Unchained by a cunthair.

Un-fuckin-chained!
"EVERYBODY UP!!!"

ATBL.
To my ears, it's a more uniquely VH riff.

Unchained!!

Unchained is a song that really fires me up...so it was the obvious choice out of the two.

When I got my first electric guitar my mom also pre-paid for two lessons on the next two Saturdays. The first lesson he taught me how to tune and said "next week, bring in a song you'd like to learn". I knew exactly what I wanted to be able to play. The next week I sat down with the instructor in a tiny sound room lined with speakers & electronics and two small stools to sit on. We hooked up our guitars, he checked my tuning, then I handed him my cassette I had brought. 10 seconds later the opening of ATBL cranked through the system. I could see his head drop a bit thinking "shit, how am I supposed to teach the kid this?" Hey, he said any song, and this is what I wanted to play.
To his credit, he did a fine job showing me how to do it.
btw - his name was Mike, from Music, Music guitar shop in El Cajon, CA (in case he ever finds himself perusing these boards someday)

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love. I love everything about this song, especially the lyrics. But Unchained is excellent as well...

ATBL may be more the more "famous" track, but to the initiated Unchained is far superior. The syncopation during the bridge kicks ass!

Aint talking about love is classic but Fair warning kicks ass and Unchained is a mean riff!!!

ATBL is a original riff! Unchained the first time i heard it (1981) , i said damn it sounds a little like Dead or alive!
