      Mean Street blew me away when I first played Fair Warning. Yeah. After Eruption that was the next big "Holly Shit!" VH moment for me. Years later I started playing bass seriously. I started learning how to do pop and slap and then it dawned on me Eddie was doing funk slap to get that Mean Street intro. That being said, even if you know basically what he was doing, it's very difficult to do it as well as he does. Pure simple brilliance.
      No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

        A knew a guy who would do a little mombo whenever Why Can't This Be Love came on the radio while Sammy was doing his doot doot doo bullshit. Seemed pretty funny at the time.
