"The Trouble With Never".............. a response to this statement?

"For them to take that long to make a record, I don't think it's ever going to happen." - Samuel Roy Hagar

I didn't sign up.

Hover over the album cover upper left under VH Radio logo, and hit play.

Hey Sammy - did you feel that when you hit play on Blood and Fire??? That was all the air being sucked out of the room.. Get used to it you fat bastard...

[guwapo_rocker]

still waiting...

Turn the volume up

I reloaded the page and it still works for me.

I just listened to these new tracks.... these are SO FAR BEYOND where VH has been in the last 28 years.... I am shocked that this kind of quality is what I'm getting. I mean, this is some really cool shit. Gimme a margarita, I'm gonna keep listening!!

Just listened to both tracks about 4 times each through headphones and I am truly speechless. The boys know what they've done and they have to be sooooo proud. I am just shaking my head in disbelief. I thought this album would be pretty good, but WOW. Do ya think tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber are reference to Spambo and MA?

God the solo in blood and fire...........holy shit........

God the solo in blood and fire...........holy shit........

I know, I know dude. I am completely blown away!

[TAKIN WHISKEY]

I really am at a loss for words.

ok i figured it out!!! but here's my first listen lyrics. Anything wrong?

You often wonder
You wanna know
How deep does a rabbit hole go?
I know, you never thought about it but
Ask yourself later
When you turn on your stereo does it return the favour?
I gotta know

That’s the trouble with never
Sure seems like a mighty long time
That’s the trouble with never
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Hello!

Every Einstein’s a sign
A tweedledumb and tweedledumber
Ain’t no fool could see
Never even wonder
Yeah, we could come together
I will call for you, hey
Heaven’s good for me
How’s never sound to you?
1800-tell me babe

Chorus

Level with me baby, talk to me

This could damage your reputation
My wicked, wicked ways
But maybe that’s just as well
Since you put it that way
Delusions of eloquence
You never can say
You wanna play, the game?
You can’t quit when you can’t play
Mistakes make people, isn’t that what people say?
Let’s not plan the moment
Dance the night away
Selective amnesia is only a heartbeat away

Ask him a question
Concerning time
Suppose you wait forever and then you
Change your mind

Chorus

When was it? When was it? Tax me baby!
When baby?
When was the last time?
Tell me!

(Now that Ed solo Alex drums just like Humans being!!)

[BumBahDeeDah]

This is so great.....the next twelve days are gonna fuckin DRAG!!

[Roth & Roll]

Anyone who says that VH sorely misses MA's harmonies really needs to give this one a listen - very eclectic tune. Kick ass!
