I dig the insane scream in the beginning of "Unchained" a lot too (Haaaaaaaaa... ha-ha-haaa!!!). Yeah, I dig that sane madness of his!:D

I like Dave's voice on 'Everybody Wants Some'

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Dave is always specially awesome on vocals. Ha! Ha! I can't help grinning almost every time I listen to VH or DLR even if it's for the millionth time.

"Hear about it later" is another great example (but now we can browse the whole catalogue once again).
From the scream of the intro to the end of the track, where he sings between crooner style and tough as tough can, Dave sounds like he's over the moon.

Hey, I'm surprised we've all forgotten to include the scream at the intro of "Jump"!

Such an instantly identifiable signature yelp...sounds lik a cross between Janis Joplin, a Viagra'd Tarzan, and a Chuck Jones character.

It's BADASS.

I remember the first time I heard the song (before the album was even released), the first few moments I was thinking "Whoa, a little heavy on all the synths there guys", but once that Dave "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOWWWW!!!" comes in, immediately I was thinking, "Doesn't matter how many synths they lay on this, this is still VAN-FUCKIN'-HALEN".

His best scream, fuckin' period.

His voice at the end of Ice Cream Man....

grrrr.....

[fret_buzz_blues]

So so many to name...Dave is just awesome, but we all know that...

[audiospectrum]

The way Dave finishes off Lady Luck, yes ah whoo!!

The little suck in breath part at the end of Loss of Control

I do what I want to!!!

The great thing about Dave is he always seems to add the perfect little laugh, hiccup, scream, etc., to enhance the song , without overdoing or forcing it. Very original stuff.

that's what I meant with "vocal trick"...the little additions you don't hear from all the other singers

[ben halen]

They are all so great!

VHII definitely has a lot of good ones.
