Guitar World April 2012 - 50 Greatest Van Halen songs of all time - on sale now.

[DLR Bridge]

Flipped through this on the news stand. Lots of pictures I've never seen before.

[SNIPER]

The song 5150 has great music to it however the finger nails on the chalk board vocals make it unlistenable to me. Way to ruin a song Spammy!

Agreed....The first song on 5150 is good also..except for the vocals and "The Hello Gravy" shit in the beginning.

[SNIPER]

Nin, Have read my latest work? I think I put Chicken Molester in his place.

There are about 4-5 Spam era songs that I give the WWDD (What Would Dave Do) treatment to.

Yessir...I gave him a day to reflect on Ronnie..sort of..still gave him a little jab! Let him mourn for a day, or feel like a complete ass for bad-mouthing the guy On That Metal Show not so long ago.

[Unchainme]

For fucks sake! seriously?

I'm out. See ya in another thread folks.

what a great fucking song btw.

In cleveland on the last tour, people went crazy for that one.

[Zing!]

I would have to go look it up on YouTube, I can't remember how it goes which says a lot about it...

Let me help you , Sesh:

The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try (Oooh) Win or lose (Oooh)
Take the highs (Oooh) With the blues (Oooh)

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all with you, it's only one for me
So, why draw the line? Meet you half the way
And you don't know what that means
Oh, yeah

I feel like a running politician
Oh! Just tryin' to please you all the time
I given you myself with no conditions
Goin' wide (Oooh) Runnin' long (Oooh)
Feelin' lost (Oooh) But not for long (Oooh)

Whoa, yeah

I'll meet you half the way! Whoa yeah!
I'll meet you half the way! Whoa!
I'll meet you half the way

[And no... I did not make that up. Those are the actual lyrics. To clean those shitty lyrical stains out of your brain, wash, rinse, and repeat with ADKOT]

[Golden AWe]

I think "Learning to see" should make the position 50...it was the last song EVER made by Van Hagar!!!

[Nigel]

Wow, I'm still dizzy from that Gary Cherone unreleased song from VH 3.

Yeah, I bought it, took my 8 yr.old son to the concert in Toronto.
He was interviewed on MuchMusic, and God Bless him, said "Why can't they get David Lee Roth back"

Gary Cherone on most songs sounded like he was singing with 7 lbs. of cotton wool in his mouth (I'm being kind here.)

I can't make out a fucking word he's saying, and yes it should have been an instrumental, but c'mon it's an outtake at best.

As for "The List", fuck lists, it misses my fave 6 pack songs and includes Women In Love (which didn't make my list)

Cheers, Guys.

[FORD]

OK, I can see how a guitar magazine could rank "5150", or "Poundcake" as decent songs. Guitar wise, they were. Only Hagar's screeching and lyrical felonies ruined them.

But how the FUCK could they rank "Right Now", "When It's Cheese" or other synth-pop cheese ballads? It's not SYNTHESIZER WORLD magazine, for fucks sake.

And to rank DTNA below those pieces of shit? Unforgivable.

No doubt. Admittedly, I haven't heard 'III' all the way through - just bits and pieces here and there over the years - but Cherone's voice is obnoxiously awful. I thought I would give that unreleased track a try and see if it was any better than the album. Nope, still horrid - and the unreleased track sounds just as poorly mixed as the album. Ed's guitar is razor thin with sustain that sounds like fingernails on a chalk board - and Cherone's voice sounds like he gargled battery acid.

[vandeleur]

Am the same never heard vh 111 or whatever it was called ... Heard one single on the radio ... With out you ?? Or something and his voice irritated the shite out of me ..

[Carloscda]

OK how can On Fire not be in that list??!!

[Hardrock69]

Check the editor's foreward. He said usually when there is some big new VH thing going on, GW has new interviews, etc.

Editor dude says this time out, Howdy-Doody Mountain was strangely silent when they were trying to get an interview. So they did the list in the absence of anything from the band.
