Fools vs Take Your Whiskey Home

[right-here-i-say]

Definitely Whiskey. With that said Fools has a better intro.

[Dave's Dreidel]

This one is impossible for me to say which I like better.

[VH1988]

Only part I like on Fools is the intro


Whiskey for sure.

[DefLepp93]

Both songs are great. I have to go with Fools. That song sounds like the band walked into the studio, pressed record, made up and jammed out an amazing song on the spot. Incredible how their studio recordings had such raw awesome energy.

[Nostalgia Act]

Fools today... maybe TYWH tomorrow.

TYWH today...maybe Fools tomorrow.

"Fools" just has this vibe to it, almost like WHO "Live at leeds", even though it's a studio album.

That intro just gives me the chills.
The part where you hear Dave sing quietly, "Let's play it together one time..."

Then later, that huge pick slide (THE pick slide of all pick slides) into the big chord with Al.
then that blinding, off the cuff unaccompanied solo, which back then, i just could not believe
the fluidness and overall aggression of those licks.
The slight mutes, the tone...

He'd bend a string or hit a pick harmonic, and his sound was so huge.

Then you get into that killer groove, that grinding riff.
And, man, that outro blew my mind as a teenager, still does.

Can i just say ALL of WACF, instead of picking one over the other?

The sequence of that record is my favorite.

Yes. The PERFECT hard rock album for those who love a band just blazing things off the cuff in maybe 2 or 3 takes and calling it good. Nothing overcooked or overthought which can sometimes lead to things being watered down or contrived. And nothing on WACF is overly slick or calculated to be a "hit" per se.

[BlindtotheWorld]

Whiskey without a doubt. Outside of the intro, Fools never did much for me.

[The Brown Sound]

Whiskey for sure. The acoustic part with Dave singing over the top is incredible.
In fact, I hope that one day when that album with John 5 is released, it's in that vein, which from all reports, it is.

Whiskey has a great intro, too.

Again, you can hear the power in Ed's left hand, with that acoustic intro.
The little pull offs & rakes.

On that particular album, you can really hear that ZZ Top influence.
He always reminded me of a turbo charged Billy Gibbons, in a way.

But Ed points to Clapton.
I hear Gibbons (on his bluesy/pentatonic stuff).

Ditto.

[Little Dreamer]

Tie.

"Fools, I live with fools. Fools, they make the rules." vs "Some goes to women, Some goes to Jesus, though I'm absolutely certain both's alright."

Can't choose, or rather I choose both.
Tie.

Again, lol, its not "they make the rules". Dont know why people get confused by that line. Even on club days boots it wasnt that.

[Bad to the Bone]

I'll take TYWH, I do like Fools a lot though.
