These two sound real similar (the music, not the lyrics of course) So, which one do you guys like better? I've always been able to choose in these "song vs. song" topics, but this might be the first one I can't. I think I like them both equally.

YUNNNKKK!! Eddie-italian! I love ya, man! LOL! The choice was Drop Dead Legs vs. BLACK AND BLUE, off of OU812! And, the AC/DC song is BACK In Black, not Black In Black! LMAO!! Eddie, your posts are my relief from this VH madness. Too funny ...

Cause you can't get this stuff no more.

i gotta say black and blue. the reason is that drop dead legs to me doesn't really flow, where black and blue does. this is of course my opinion, and i do like drop dead legs. it's a good tune.
eddie_italian, you are too funny http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gifYUNNNKhttp://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif

drop dead legs = Classic Van Halen song from a Classic Van Halen album.
black and blue = OU812 filler.

Is there even a fucking contest.

Drop dead legs for sure !! http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif ... I like Black in Black of ACDC , but Van Halen are Van Halen !!!! YUNNNNKKK http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/eek.gif

Eddie_italian from italy

No, there is no contest here, Drop Dead Legs by a Green Mile.

filler!? arrrgh!

Would you believe they played both of these songs in a row at my favorite strip joint 2 nights ago?!! Wow~,what a coinkidink!http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/eek.gif Can't believe this topic came up right now, I was going to start a thread about that too. The girls had ALOT of talent while dancing to these songs!http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif I would have to pick DDL though, but B&B is one of my favorite soloshttp://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif

I will say Drop Dead Legs cause it is so nice and what comes on after makes me have to pour water on my crotch...but the solo is great in Black And Blue....the music changes...it is just a happy feeling.

Drop Dead Legs. I'm with you on the solo swollenprincess, for Black and Blue. When Ed kick in the delay..... ooohhhh. But still, DDL is one of the top VH tunes on my list, and easily wins this one.

I don't need to tell you how great DDL is. It is a truly classic VH song. VH attitude all the way.

B&B is a good song in itself except the fade out is where it loses me. Great solo, but why kick into that monotonous fade out??

DDL!!!!

they both rock!

2 Awesome Tunes! The deepest grooves ever recorded! Uh, right now I forget what Black and Blue sounds like http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/redface.gif but I know that my sister, who isn't a VH fan (grrr) thinks that the Black and Blue solo kicks all ass. I wouldn't say "no contest." I think they're pretty close. I have no fookin' clue which one is better. I love 'em both!

Drop Dead Legs. Black and Blue isn't a favorite of mine.

Drop Dead Legs. Black and Blue has awesome Eddie guitar work, but I don't care for the lyrics to it much.

Music to both songs = Tie

Lyrics = Drop Dead Legs

I pick Drop Dead Legs

Drop Dead Legs....the vamp at the end...awesome. This song was VH at their best. Fucking Awesome.

I'll give Black and Blue some credit. It's got some great harmonies. I think Black and Blue is very under-rated.

BTW, how can you hate the lyrics? It's a simple question...

"Do it till were Black and Blue."

Those crack me up!

Drop Dead Legs

"Drop Dead Legs" by forever!

"Black And Blue" is to OU812 what "Inside" was to 5150. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/redface.gif

BAB is one of my least favorite songs. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/frown.gif The solo is the shizzat. No doubt about it. But The lyrics were lowbrow - and NOT in the cool way, you know?

I can't believe they didn't have a better song than BAB to put onto OU812.

Now, DDL is living on the phat farm like nobody's bidness. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif

1984 is worth buying for this song, alone. Beautiful intro, pimptastic vibe and lyrics, incredible chorus, and a breakdown that just kicks ass.

When I listen to "Can't Get This Stuff No More" and the breakdown at the end, I always think about DDL. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/cool.gif

Ohhh. Ahhhh. Uhm. Can't decide. Sorry. http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif

Drop Dead Legs by a longshot.

Ddl

ok,yes,it´s true "Drop" And "Black and blue"are very similar.
But for me "BLACK AND BLUE" by far is better.
Why?because this song was included in OU812 ,one of my Hagar era favorite albums

Let me guess crosing_over. You must like Hagar better? HE HE

Well both songs are great and have that VH attitude but I mean Drop Dead Legs is a little bit better to me! http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/cool.gifhttp://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

Van Halen Burning the Stage Forever!!!
You "Can't Get This Stuff No More" with any other band!

HOPE YOU'RE ALREADY FEELING WELL EDDIE!!!!!!!!

Having a bad day? Well VAN HALEN has been formulated to wipe those bad day blues Away!
Hide your sheep? What about Little Bo Peep?

No contest here: Drop Dead Legs.

And again to reiterate: (I like Hagar era Halen as much as Dave era) But Drop Dead Legs totally blows away Black And Blue IMO

Uhmmm ... not even close! DDL by 5 miles!http://208.50.7.95/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif
