Hey, it seems apt to post this in here - a guy over at The Guardian newspaper (one of the big UK dailies) has just posted an article about 'Unchained'. This is great news to have VH fans in widely read media outlets. It's their second piece in a week on the band.
The article begins:
I've written before about my conviction – disputed by many, possibly with good reason – that Van Halen are the second most important rock band ever, after only the Beatles. So I'm not going to spend time arguing for their influence.
I think it is the third article I've read by this guy in this newspaper where he bigs up CVH. So kudos to him ... even though he reckons the Beatles go one better.
Here's the LINK- just a short piece with an embedded live clip of 'Unchained'.
My Top 5 most kick-ass CVH tunes? Emphasis on kick ass ...
1. Romeo Delight
2. Sinners Swing!
3. I'm the One
4. Sunday Afternoon in the Park / One Foot Out the Door (guitar solo kicks major ass)
5. Girl Gone Bad
1. Romeo Delight
2. Light Up the Sky
3. Unchained
4. Up For Breakfast
5. Mean Street
Heh...just kidding. ;-) I'd have to throw Girl Gone Bad or Drop Dead Legs in there. Too difficult to only pick 5 and then rank them. They all kick ass!
