Can't get this stuff any more....Dave's Best

[scorpioboy33]

In my mind Can't get this stuff anymore is Dave's highest achievement re: vocals. His range is wonderful when he hits the line

"How many times does somebody lie" ...i stood up and clapped.

This song should have marked what could have been the great rock and roll comeback of all times...

[Panamark]

Lyrically, those two songs were amazing.
Its like Dave spoke to us, explained the whole situation,
We, the fans got it.

It went straight over Edwina and Alices heads !
I like to think Dave knew they wouldnt figure it out,
(The Sisters)
and that it was a chance to finally say what he had to say..

And the sisters didnt have a clue !!!

They probably still listen to those songs and
go Huh ??? WTF was Dave saying ?

Obvious to us.......

[scorpioboy33]

it should have been the fucking start...not an ending

[Bad Muthafucker]

i STILL listen to those two songs all the time in my car. how great they sound...especially now with all the bullshit going on.

[Vanstonica]

Hell yeah!

The whole band sounds amazing on the two new Dave tracks from BOV1.

I personally prefer Me Wise Magic of the two....Eddie just rips that song apart. I'd kill to see that song performed live. I wonder if Dave would ever consider doing it as part of his live show? The fans would eat it up.

I like the interview of ed when he says "dave never says what this stuff is about that you can't get no more" to turn down his lyrical writing abilities that little prick...while it is so obvious to all the fans...

hey ed, the true fans - not the handfull of sheep you pull in nowadays - we, the true fans are not that stupid you whish us to be...and WE got dave's message and you get what you deserve, fuck you...

[scorpioboy33]

i also thought these two tracks were a new direction for dave and the band...like what a maturing van halen should sound like!

[DlocRoth]

Me Wise is dare I say, vintage VH. The guitar is there, the vocals are there, the background vocals are awesome. Great fuckin tune.

CGTSNM also rocks! LOL

[Matt White]

CGTSNM, BRILLIANT. EVH & shemp ARE TOO THICK to get the message in the song. Dullards & Drunks seldom do.

Great post and I agree 100% and have stated this before. Dave is friggin' BRILLIANT on both songs.

LMAO @ the sisters didnt have a clue !!!

<--this is how I picture Dave everytime I hear those tunes.

Easily the best songs Van Halen had put their name on since 1984, and a great sounding mature Van Halen...had things gone on to album stage and not just the two new tracks, we'd have had a different world on our hands right now...

[EmpyreLounge44]

never dug either tune...just never did anything for me. tried to hard to capture a moment that just wasn't there anymore, in my ears at least

[thepunisher]

I often wonder what those songs that Dave wrote w/ Ed back in 2000 must sound like. Dave said it was incredible. I don't hear anything incredible coming from VH with the fat one probably cause he couldn't sing Dave's shit. Dave probably knew Ed would eventually bring Fattie back in sooner or later. Dave's stuff is Dave's stuff. I hope Spammy never touches whatever Dave and Ed started in 2000. Someday sooner or later, we will hear that stuff (i hope) and I don't want them overwritten with the clown singing them.

[EmpyreLounge44]

i bet they sound like up for breakfast and its about time with different lyrics
