      There are many, many duds to pick from.

      'Josephine' was particuarly awful; as was 'Amsterdam' (Wham Bam.....for fucks sake...). I throw up in my mouth a little just thinking about 'In 'n' Out'.

      However, for me, 'Man on a Mission' takes it. A uninspired, lazy, bloated grandma-sex of a song. The antithesis of EVERYTHING CVH was about.

        I agree with you, but to me the worst is 'Source of Infection'. The lyrics are the laziest ever. I cringe just thinking about it.

            I'm pretty sure that was the sound of all the air being sucked from the room.

              I always figured How Many Say I would make a stellar Pink Floyd tune... just throw in Gilmore's guitar and reverb heavy drum tracks with a few synth generated animal noises... instant Roger Waters style hit...

                  At least with some of those other duds, I can find a cool riff somewhere in them. How many say I has nothing. It is truly awful.

                      First of all...this is not Van Halen! There is no Van Halen without Dave...regardless of how much Gary tried to keep the legacy alive.

                      Second....yes, this is easily the most worthless piece of puke that Edward has ever produced.

                      I'm glad that I never personally witnessed this tour, because I would have been embarrassed for ol' Ed watching him try to croak out this melody free, hook free, rhythmically absent piece of shit.

                      The quality of that video is better than the song....and that's really sayin' somethin'...

                        This is a prime example of what happens when Ed is running the show...

                          And this is a prime example of what you get when Dave is running the show....

                            They only busted out this gem 2 or 3 times on the tour... Gee, I wonder why.

                              They should have changed the name of the song to "Booo"...
