Question regarding VHIII song

**ALMOSTsaved** · 07-29-2005, 03:57 PM

It's called "A Year To The Day." Excellent solo. The guitar parts of the songs is the only good part of this album. Would love to have a computer program that removes Cherone's voice.

Cool thanks!

The few things I have heard from it...Ed sounds better than previous stuff w/ Hagar

I always thought the guitar playing in that era was fookin' excellent. That's another reason I'm so mad at the brothers. Eddie was ready to play guitar again, but he gets that idiot Cherone instead of bringing back Dave. Dave plus Eddie in the late 90s would have been a great combination for a new album.

That album has some great playing but horrible, horrible vocals and arrangements. Still better than anything they did with Hagar the Horrible, though.

I totally concur!

I thought the music for 'Without You' was excellent, just didn't like the vocals

VH3 has some decent moments guitar wise. There's that.

**Rikk** · 07-30-2005, 01:22 PM

Well, those decent moments guitar-wise are better than almost anything I can think of that they did with Cheesehead. If you get rid of some of the tracks on VH3, wipe off the vocals on the ones that are left, and then add Dave and then a few other new songs with Dave, you'd have a smokin' VH album. When I hear anything off 5150, I'm almost glad Dave isn't around to sing on it. But when I hear anything off VH3, I sit and roll my eyes that Dave could maybe have done something with some of this music.

It's a possibility. 3 had some definite moments of potential. With a new mix, re-structured songs, better production, and the imput of all four of them, anything could have happened. Ed's playing was mostly pretty good, and he certainly seemed to be in the right place for it.

Oh well.

That should be the title of Ed's biography.

**bueno bob** · 07-31-2005, 11:14 AM

"Oh Well: The Life and Times of Edward Van Halen
A Study in Failure by Bueno Bob"

Has a ring to it, you think?

Someone showed me a vid, long ago...the 98 Australia one...from the VHIII show with GC singing.

GC is no Dave (of course) but there was one very cool part where they were playing one of the VHIII songs (never bought it, don't know the title) and Ed was ripping a very intense extended solo on something...

I wanna hear this again...just need the title of the song.

It was an uncharacteristic solo for Ed...very raw, blues scale type of thing...anybody know the name?

Thanks...

It was a song called 'A Year To The Day', unmistakably.

Great, underrated album - not as good as the Classic 6 but better and more honest/heartfelt than anything Spammy did with VH.

The concert was the same as the CD. Underrated. Ed was playing his best since '84. Only one token song per Hagar album, and that was ONLY because Eddie insisted - Gary didn't want to play any Hagar stuff at all. The rest of the material were GREAT jobs of DLR classics and VH3 songs.

Cherone is, IMO, the most successful Roth fan there is. He's a homeboy. He grew up influenced by Classic VH, opened for DLR on his ALAE tour, recorded and toured with Van Halen for a year....

For the record, Gary did no wrong...any one of us online that had the pipes and the talent to say 'no' to what he was offered, is BSing thru their lying sack o' teeth.......

Uhm..

The live Solo for One I Want is quite good.

Eddie's playing on the "3" tour was extremely tight. He looked good...he played great.

Agreed that it's a cryin' shame that it had to be Cherone and not Dave.
