Humans Being

Judgement Day
House Of Pain
Unchained
Runnin' With The Devil (it is heavy, although you may not consider it)

To the person who said "One I Want". Cool heavy bassline, but I don't think it's one of the heaviest VH songs. It's a cool song though http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

I'd say...
Fire in the Hole
You Really Got Me
Judgement Day

"That's How it Is When You Tell the Truth"

On Fire
Romeo Delight
House of Pain

Mean Street
One Foot Out the Door
Romeo Delight

Mean Street
Judgement Day

Alot people may not like it but "Get Up" is definitely the heaviest, most manic song that VH's has ever done! You gotta love that intro where Al joins in with Ed.

Dammit, I never considered Pananma Dog's choices: "Mean Street", "Humans Being", and "Don't Tell Me". Man, there are too many heavy VH songs!

I know no one here wants to admit it, but IMO if you're referring to the "Crunchy" guitar sound , the 3 newer tunes have to be considered.

When I first heard them, one of the first things that crossed my mind was how much "heavier" the guitar sound was !

Six year old thread. Wow. That's some archived dedication. :)


Your second choice needs further consideration. Saying Ballot or the Bullet is like Metallica is like saying the Thompson Twins' Hold Me Now is Zeppelin-esque.

Well, "further consideration".
After "FC" You have to admit that "Ballot..." is much heavier than Unchained, D.O.A, Crossing Over or Dont tell me... with it's pop-flavoured chorus - and lot of songs mentioned here. Its closest to heavy metal VH song(after "Humans Being").
I was trying to say that using key word METAL lica;)
"What is understood need not to be discussed".

I don't think it gets heavier than On Fire. Ed's playing is mean from start to finish on that baby. Light Up The Sky and Don't Tell Me are right there as well.

I cannot admit 'Ballot' is heavier than Unchained, DOA, or Don't Tell Me. I cannot even say aloud 'Ballot' is heavier than Unchained without receiving a bulging mouthful of bile and puke. :)

Van Halen is not heavy metal.

Some things are misunderstood, and therefore require discussion for clarification.

You're such a prick ! LMAO !

Dude, COME ON.

I know you're a III fan, but there's no fuckin' way I'm believing you think Ballot is heavier than Unchained. :)

Alot people may not like it but "Get Up" is definitely the heaviest, most manic song that VH's has ever done! You gotta love that intro where Al joins in with Ed.

The drumming on "Get Up" is definitely off the wall. This is Alex at his best.

Dude, COME ON.

I know, I know, I agree. But the approach is what cracks me up !

LOL, well, I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam. And what I yam, knows that III is not their masterpiece, and that dudes who classify Halen as metal are generalizing way too much.

Like Zep, Halen is an entity unto their own.

Duh, and amen. :cool:

Maaan
1st of all - I didnt say VH is metal, you said that, I just said that Ballot... and Humans Being are "closest" to heavy.
Second thing - If you say Unchained is heavier than Ballot you are either prejudiced or deaf.

I am deaf and prejudiced. :)

I doubt you find many folks who agree with you on that particular assessment.

Take no offense:)
One more thing - I don't care if I find or not any folk (who agree with me).
Its my opinion and I won't change it just because of that it is not popular point of view.

My kinda guy, I like your spunk.

I'm one of the few that actually even like Ballott, but can't really agree that it's heavier than Unchained. The guitar sound might be, but that really has something more to do with the low tuning than anything. Ed's got some kick ass licks goin on in that tune, but I'd still take Unchained over it in this debate.

Watch out Sucka, Squal said he was predjudice !;)

If you don't care about others' views, then why'd you tell us you don't understand why anybody else wouldn't think Humans Being is VH's heaviest 'metal-type' song?

There's an irony here, but I can't state it aloud, as I promised to curtail such observations a while back.

And I didn't ask you to change your opinion, nor do I take offense easily. I just told you it seemed inaccurate, In My Opinion. You can disagree all you like. Still, I have to maintain, claiming Ballot or the Bullet is a crunchier tune than Unchained is one of the bolder assertions I've seen on these boards. especially considering that Ballot is generally considered the second worst song on the III album, trumped only by the god-awfulness of HMSI.

At least you're unique. :thumb:

So by your logic, coupled with your claim that you won't change your point of view because it's unpopular, every single one of us who've disagreed with that comparison - which by my count, is EVERYBODY so far in this thread - are prejudiced or deaf.

Anyway, I'll let you get back to your discussion. :)

P.S. For the record, I think the closest VH ever got to a 'metal' type track was House of Pain. :devil:

Watch out Sucka, Squal said he was predjudice !;)

Don't worry J, I can take him!

Don't worry J, I can take him!

Hey now...them's fightin' words.

The only things I judge harshly are Van Halen 3, mutant hicks who don't know their ass from their elbow, and kiddies who never saw Roth era VH live telling me I don't know jack diddly about Roth era VH.

Otherwise, I'm all about peace, love, and granola. Heck, my best pal is a gay hermaphrodite right wing abortionist pro death penalty African-American/Indian/Chinese illegal immigrant seal-clubbing Eskimo polygamist.

Life is a bowl of fuckin' cherries. :cool:

House of Pain is heavy, as is humans being...

and Unchained is heavier that ballot..ballot has some serious crunch, but so does "it's about time"..

Did someone REALLY say 'not enough'?????

Anyway, Mine are

Don't Tell Me
Humans Being
Unchained

(I think they are all in Drop D tuning.... gives it a low evil tone.)

Romeo Delight

(S'been a few years since I last posted so hope I'm doing it right...)
Anyway, howdy y'all! OK, heaviest Halen tracks IMO:

Get Up
Humans Being
Learning To See ('cept, of course, for the chilled out verses)

I agree, though, that its probably the guitar tone (and Al's all-over-the-place cymbals) that make a song 'heavy' in my opinion as there're probably a few songs that are just as fast'n intricate (Loss Of Control anyone?) but just don't bludgeon you like the three above.

Cheers!
