      LMAO @ that list...

      Van Halen's "Man on a Mission" (Whatever th fuck that is???) over "Unchained?"

      I know a few Van Hagar tunes and am not the least bit familiar with that song?

      Crezzi.... But that's how it goes...

          Master of Puppets is a great song, but greatest riff ever??

          I fucking think not. Hell, it's not even the best Metallica riff! (That would be "Creeping Death")

            K, so it IS a Van Hagar song?

            I mean one would have to be lying to say they haven't heard of MANY songs from the Van Hagar catalogue after being on these sites for so many years. I admit both purchasing and seing the "5150" and "OU812" shows and albums when first released. I was a dumb kid and I'll also admit to attending a Whitsnake show back in the day.. So what? We all do foolish shit when we're young, dumb and full of cum. lol

            However and hopefully most mature and figure shit out.

            The point of my rant being, I both know, have heard and am aware of many Van Hagar songs. However, I've never heard of that "Man on a Mission?" Was that a playful love song or ode from Hag to Anthony from either "Balance" or "F.U.C.K" cos I've never fully listened nor heard either of those records?

            Seriously, that song title is equal tothat gay Paul Stanley song from "Alive II" called "All American Man."

            Fine, they're gay and to quote Seinfeld "Not that there's anything wrong with it." lol Yet, the Hag actually pens a song with such a title and those sheep cuntinually question Dave's own sexuality? Dave sings an anthem called "Beautiful Girls" and Hag cums up with "Man on a Mission?" Seriously, I wish I knew about this song when I first joined these sites. Think of the material that's been wasted?

            BUHUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

                The list pretty much sucks. It would be semi-accurate if the list was in no particular order.

                          Yeah and no shit with this list. :confused: As you and I are both classic rock infueled guitarists, heck, we've been bound to play any number of the all time and well known riffs from time to time. But I'm with you mate cos I don't know half of these songs nor half of the bands mentioned?

                          Damn, I feel old about now.

                            "Man on a Mission" was on FUCK, and from what I remember, it wasn't anything special, even by Van Hagar standards. Sounded a bit like "Summer Nights" part 2 from what I remember (with even dumber lyrics, courtesy of the Chedmaster)

                            If I was going to put ANY Van Hagar riff on the list, it probably would be the song "5150".

                            And in all probability, that one was written while Dave was still in the band.

                              That list has it's good and its bad points.

                              Unchained at 405, Judgement Day and Man on aa Mission higher: I think not.

                              Panama is also considerably higher. Whilst it's undisputedly a great riff, its not a patch on Unchained....

                              I also found the inclusion of Jacko's "Beat it" laughable....
