Plus you would get the opportunity grow you site usage numbers exponentially as well as draw attention to your favorite Vegas Line singer. Better yet, since you are a moderator on this site, maybe my local FBI office would be interested in this threat. Ya know make life fun for you too.
Way to take it to the next level, pal.
Oh great, you pussy!!!!
Pick on my chick and cowardly back off? You brought the game and I played ball? Damn, you're a wimp.
Call your local FBI office immidiately cos I'm sooooooo dangerous. Regardless, if you start in with DG again you might have to call the CIA fag!!!!
Originally posted by baltimoreoriole Oh, yea. The original from what year???? Huh, clown?
Let me clarify, let's not see a 50 year old try "VIBRATO" to a song better sung by his grandson.....children please PAY ATTENTION and USE YOUR HEAD for something other than a HAT RACK.
Christ, you're stupid. You claim that ICE CREAM MAN shouldn't have vibrato. It's a fucking blues song. And the original recording (cut in 1953, released in 1969) by the original writer (John Brim) had that fucking vibrato. Blues singing is often laced with vibrato. And Dave is primarily a blues singer. And Hagar is primarily a bad 80s singer. And you are primarily a fucking ignorant moron.

John Brim may be best-known for writing and cutting the original "Ice Cream Man" that David Lee Roth and Van Halen covered on their first album. That's a pity, for the seriously under-recorded Brim made some exceptionally hard-nosed waxings.
Brim picked up his early guitar licks from the 78s of Tampa Red and Big Bill Broonzy before venturing first to Indianapolis in 1941 and Chicago four years later. He met his wife Grace in 1947; fortuitously, she was a capable drummer who played on several of John's records. In fact, she was the vocalist on a 1950 single for Detroit-based Fortune Records that signaled the beginning of her hubby's discography.
John recorded for Random, JOB, Al Benson's Parrot logo (the socially aware "Tough Times"), and Chess ("Rattlesnake," his answer to Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," was pulled from the shelves by Chess for fear of a plagiarism suit). Cut in 1953, the suggestive "Ice Cream Man" had to wait until 1969 to enjoy a very belated release. Brim's last Chess single, "I Would Hate to See You Go," was waxed in 1956 with a stellar combo consisting of harpist Little Walter, guitarist Robert Lockwood Jr., bassist Willie Dixon, and drummer Fred Below (clearly, Chess had high hopes for Brim, but to no avail).
After a hiatus of a few decades, Brim made a welcome return to studio action with a set for Tone-Cool Records, The Ice Cream Man. Brim, who lived in Gary, IN, remained active on the Chicago blues scene until his passing on October 1, 2003 at the age of 81.
