Who wrote Best of Both Worlds

[BigE]

I picked up a tab book the other day. I was thumbing threw it and noticed that Dave' name appeared as the writer of the vocals on "Best of Both Worlds"
I knew that they were working on material for 5150 did was still surprised
to see this. I'm sorry if this has been discussed here before but I don't read every
thread everyday.

[Big Troubles]

Nope. No way.

Summer Nights & Good Enough I think, but no way would Dave write that. Refuse to believe it.

It's very likely that the song may have started out as a Van HALEN song. It's not a cheese ballad, after all.

But the lyrics are pure SPAM

[Big Troubles]

Yeah I just cant picture, nor do I want to, Dave writing any of those lyrics down on the back of a cocktail napkin or even shit paper.

"Well, there's a picture in a gallery of
A fallen angel looked a lot like you
We forget where we come from sometimes
I had a dream it was really you"


unless it was that time he did coke lines with Ozzy?

[chi-town324]

i know Eddie once said sumer nights was written with Dave...but no way best of both worlds

[BigE]

Thats why I questioned it. Maybe its a typo.

Exactly. Maybe Dave had worked up an arrangement with different lyircs, or had approached Ed with the idea for that chord sequence/riff/melody, and he had a legal basis to say "I had a hand in this composition".

But odds are really that it's a typo.

Post a picture of the tab book...and the page in question.....


I'm calling BULLSHIT on this one............

[Steve Savicki]

The mid-80's were my favorite. Makes me wish CVH could've stuck it out for one more album.
Would love to hear a reunion album '85-'86 style even if they use the same music Dave was writing on 5150.

No different than Bon Scott penning the lyrics to Back in Black when Brian Johnson replaced.

[bueno bob2]

WOW!!!!!
