Jump........

[Seshmeister]

This thread reminds me of a Beatles story.

When John Lennon found out that there was a college lecturer doing a course on their lyrics he wrote 'I am the walrus' to fuck up his mind...

That is not the appropriate time to play such a masterpiece. Needless to say due to his insensitivity, he was canned the next day. I'm sure there is a thread floating around about this subject.

in LA, uncle joe benson said it was about a man jumping...just like you said

[Seshmeister]

Neither did Roth I'm sure.

I used to do the backwards Roth Jump on my trampoline when I was 8.

it means when your down, pick yourself up with confidence and move on from the past with no regrets.

It means 'I'm gonna spend 30 seconds writing the lyrics to EVH's new keyboard song. If I call it Jump I can maybe do some of those cool jumps I've been working on in the video'

You and this 'West Side' shit....you're such a fag. I actually grew up in Charleston, douchbag. That's still the capital city, yes? You live in the fucking boonies. And YOUR sorry ass wouldn't last two seconds in the big city. Admit it, the closest you've ever even been to a BEACH is Summersville.....and that doesn't count.

:D

Sesh,

Thanks for changing your avatar from that nail-thru-finger thingy. That always made me cringe when I saw it.

I like the titties-in-your-face much better!

BURN!!!!

This is kinda wierd.

Me and a buddy at work were just talking about the meaning of "Jump" today.

He claimed that Roth was giving Alex shit when he says, "can't you see me standing here I got my back against the record machine."

Onstage Dave has his back to Alex and he's saying that Alex's drumming is as inventive as a "record machine."

He then defends himself against Alex's badmouthing him with,"I ain't the worst that you've seen, can't you see what I mean?"

Probably a bunch of bullshit, but it made me laugh.

Isn't it "wrecking machine"?

great. its one of the few songs that both david and sammy sing with the same conviction. whether its the 1984 version or the live one from live right here right now. its got to be in the top twenty van halen songs ever. when you think about it its the first step towards 5150.

You've got to be kidding.

Sammy singing his own interpretation "Can't you see me here i've got my ass against the record machine"

It makes me wanna vomit

How is that as good, or even on par to the original Dave wrote/sang?

And besides that 5150 is no comparison in my opinion to 1984, who starts off an album by ripping off the fucking Big Bopper of all people for fuck's sake

Go blow Sammy some more you fucking Sheep.

Who the fuck starts threads that are all pro Sammy on a David Lee Roth website anyways.

Oh and another thing, i read in a post that you think Dave would do a great version of "Up for Breakfast"

For Christ's sake that is THE worst song ever with the Van Halen name i've ever heard. Half of VH3 smokes it, lyrically that is.

Only Sammy would write a song using food as a metaphor for sex.
