    Completely off the subject, but speaking of Wolfsbane, what in hell ever happened to Wolfmother? That first album as a three piece kicked ass, after which they pretty much fell off of the surface of the planet entirely. Seriously, they sounded like the members of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin got together in 1967 or so as teenagers, downed a bunch of ludes and a couple of cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon, then decided to jam on the first thing that came into their addled brains in a very, very loud manner. I'd not heard anything as cool since listening to the second side of Black Flag's My War sometime in the mid-eighties.

      I loved Lou's post, by the way!
      But I hear you, Wolfsbane.
      The ultimate VH days are behind them no doubt.
      Gotta love 'em while you can.
      Poor Dave, he set the bar so high (over the moon, not bad for a mighty mouse)
      Let the old codger boogie around in his twilight years.
      Dave, dude, you've made a difference to my attitude anyways.

          Nope, and I'm sure B would agree - Dave sounded great at the Henson gig, too.

            Also Lou to give your post even more credence I think you should share how many gigs in the last 2 tours you have been to, I'm guessing it's more than anyone else here(you nutter ).

                  I'm just glad that Lou is back...

                  I refuse to give any further attention to this thread. Really? A thread complaining about Dave smiling and dancing? Really?

                    Meh. I don't know. I can see myself playing it like 1-2 times a month. NOT like ADKOT that's been on constant rotation for 3+months. I like maybe 1 instrumental mixed in between all the vocals. They need Dave just as Dave needs them.

                      Find software that removes vocals from songs. Then listen to Van Halen III like that, and there's your instrumental album. Because basically that's what it was, an Ed solo project.

                        I did do that with Nero burning software on III... greatly improved the whole record!!

                            Aside from Cherone, the music on that album just didn't groove & flow. It seemed really choppy to me. Like if ADD had a sound.

                              It's too bad the music to Dirty Water Dog didn't get held in the "Save 4 Dave" cache. That riff is bad ass and has a nice Panama pounding to it in the verse.

                                Totally agree. Objectively speaking, there were some good riffs on it. And I get that as an artist, you want to do different things. You want to play around with tones, you're always craving something new. I'll give it credit for at least trying to do something more than generic rock, which is the comfort zone that most Van Hagar songs settled into. But even if you judge it as an Ed solo album (let alone a Van Halen album), most of the songs were just jumbled messes, like a child incorrectly putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Ed can sure as hell write riffs and licks, but without a songwriter to collaborate with him, he has no idea what to do with them.
