Eddie's facebook page has a better quality clip for "Blood & Fire".
Wolfgang just rips on this track.Comment

I'm loving all the new stuf but on this track in particualr can't you just hear Mikey's high harmony coming in on the end of the line "the stakes have never been high"?. It's almost like a ghost moment for me. Like if you lost an arm and still itched. other than that it's fantasticEat Us and Smile!
Alright!!! Lemme' se yo hands!!Comment

There's a spoken bit in Blood and Fire where Dave says, " See told you i was coming back" and i admit it, i had a tear in my eye. Wonderful stuff!Comment

I'm having early 80's flashbacks. Sitting in study hall talking about the best parts of the new Van Halen album. Next thing I know I'll be doodling the classic =VH= logo on my desk with a pencil (except the wifey would probably not approve).
It seems safe to say that if all of the previewed tracks so far haven't met or exceeded most everyone's expectations, then Dave's masterful handling of the PR certainly has! What a banner day to be a Van Halen fan, I say!My karma just ran over your dogma.Comment

The timing of when that "Ripley" track was leaked to the net about a year ago is interesting. That could have been around the time VH were recording this new version.Last edited by chefcraig; 01-25-2012, 07:50 PM.

When the VHND put Ripley up on their site about a year ago, I played it about 30-40 times. Loved it, even without vocals and lyrics. Hearing Blood and Fire this morning with Dave singing and what they've done with it just blew me away. Reminds me of Little Guitars and generally how the band sounded during the late CVH era. So far, I love everything I've heard. This could be a great album.Comment

my first listen - don't laugh!
You can always tell the winners
Saints and the sinners
Down at the starting line
I’m a lucid vision
I’ll be your forgiven
I’m your wave tossed guy
Keep right we was runnin’
Double by the dozen
The stakes have never been higher
Come back when you’re younger
‘cause I can feel the thunder
1800-it’s time
ooh yeah!
We can through blood and fire
Now look at all the people here tonight! Ahh!
It’s a world of folk
But that’s just what’s expected
Nada from nowhere
Or even suspected
God must love the lazy, shifters and the crazy
Put so many in high
Oooh yyyyeaaaahhhh!Comment
