The Official Van Halen, "China Town" review thread.

[GreenEyedMurder]

I remember when that gruesome murder happened. I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe at that headline.

[BumBahDeeDah]

Ah, yeah the Post. They don't stop either. I think last year, there was a woman who hit her husband with a cat, of course the headline was "PUSSY WHIPPED"
I'm still waiting to see "DIRTY SANCHEZ" on the sports page during football season. I got five people who are gonna pay me when that happens.

No kidding. Anyone that was awake, walking upright and occasionally taking on solid foods in the early 1980's will remember this. Hell, it even made it into a SNL bit.

Damn, you know what's funny....well more ironic than funny, that dude in the picture is up for parole and is still proclaiming his innocence. I saw a story on this low life junkie a few weeks ago. Guy took either one or two females basically hostage with him from the bar in a cab and fell asleep while parked behind the wheel cuz he was all strung out and the girl or girls...can't quite remember, snuck out of the taxi and found a cop. A buck is still a buck in Shanghai.......sorry for being redundant people...I'm sure the above link already explained what I just spewed.

Another NY Post classic.

I am not saying it is but at 1:16 the "EEEEWWWW" Sounds a lot like the same vocal track from "RWTD" Also the sound byte that is on that "Ass Droids" game. (Not sure if that is the correct name of the game but you know what I mean)

Yep. That's one of the 6 or 7 baby white elephants in the room on ADKOT.

Currently listening to this in Chinatown.
It works...

Pound4pound....

Best song on the album.

Hands down.

No discussion.

[Romeo Delight]

I go back and forth between this, As IS, and Blood and Fire

[Yount]

Two tribes warring

[wolfsbane]

Saw a movie a couple weeks ago called "The kiling of a chinese bookie."

Took place next to Gazzari's.

The main theme was a guy who owned a strip joint lost money and had to go kill a chinese bookie.

I am not saying that this movie inspired the song, but it is in the same neighborhood.

Brutal flick to watch. Better seen on booze.
