Sammy does a awesome job singing Judgement Day IMO . I like Ed's playing better also on JD . Mikes vocals sound cool too . F.U.C.K. has a killer drum and guitar and bass sound . Did Donn Landee come back to help with 3 ?http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif 3 reminds me of ou812 . Sounds flat underwater in a way .

Ed you say we should chill but it seems like you want to start a problem by comparing everything to songs on III. Anyway I say Judgement Day. I love watching Eddie play the solo on the Live video! When after the taping part he starts jumping nuts!! The solo is great! But I like "Ballot" too. I never cared too much for the slide solo on it,but my favorite part is when Eddie breaks the string at the end and says "Wow" Awesome! All I can say is awesome! Everything that says Van Halen on it is awesome!!

Judgement Day. Ballot or the Bullet may be my least favorite song on III.

LOL. Sammy's best VH song EVER, his best vocal performance EVER, against a lame ass VH3 song, possibly the worst on that damnable CD. Is there even a contest. LOL.

Judgement Day ROCKS! I don't care who's singing on the next tour I want to hear this one.

Ballot or the Bullet is okay, it's just not one of my favorites. It's not bad, but it sounds a little unfocused. I wish Gary would have sounded a little "cleaner" on this one. I read that Eddie was writing songs out of Gary's range, so that might have been the problem.

Judgement Day is killer. It beats most songs, so it definitely beat Ballot or the Bullet.

By the way Ed, quit comparing songs that have nothing in common.

Ed, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Get well soon.

Judgement Day easily crushes Ballot or the Bullet. No contest, Judgement Day all the way.

I honstly don't really like either one of these songs. Eddie's choice to make BOTB with that coral sitar or whatever it was, ruined the song for me. Whenever I hear it (which is very rarely), I can't help but think how much that song really could have rocked if Ed ripped it with his "regular" guitar. I guess if the live version from RHRN of Judgement Day counts, I'd pick it over Ballot ...

Judgement Day hands down. Ballot Or The Bullet could have been great as an instrumental, if it were in the same vein as Baluchitherium (think I spelled that wrong but you know what I mean). That's the only song that the bass has any punch in.

hey GIRLGONEBAD i thought ed says "well"
at the end of ballot or bullet. i don't know if this was said or not i can only scroll down so far because of webtv's new updates and it is really starting to piss me off.

Judgement Day by far. It's one BEAST of a song. The sound production for that song is huge. Ballot or the Bullet is an ok song. Let me put it this way, I don't skip it if I'm listening to it on CD. But Judgement Day is such a stronger song. http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif

I would pick 'Judgement Day' over
'Ballot or the Bullet'. The guitar sounds
so much heavier and meaner on 'JD'. The
background vocals and Eddie's solos are
highlights of the tune. The ending to
'BOTB' is way too long. Plus, I didn't
like the way it was produced. Sounded a
little flat.
