Get Up was necessary to the pacing of 5150. I hate records with the same tempo from the first to the last song. VH always used to have a fast song or two in there, and it was a good way to add some variety to a record.

That's tough.
Damn ... It has to be a tie here. Love'em both, Fools and Whiskey Home.

The intro to Fools is wicked from the rolled down volume & blues licks to the obvious shred that follows. The core tune itself never really did much for me since I was about 17 or so, aside from some cool licks/fills/leads by Eddie.
Whiskey also has a wicked intro, and I like the main riff and variations more overall, and the structure of the song itself. Eddie also has some blazing solos to cap it off for me.

That's an interesting take, and I appreciate it. That being said, I would have much rather had a finished version of I Want Some Action over Get Up. To me, Get Up got in the way of one of the greatest consecutive song stretches on a VH album. For me, Good Enough, WCTBL, Dreams, Summer Nights, BOBW, Love Walks In, 5150, I Want Some Action and Inside would be THE perfect Van Halen album.

Yeah, i liked that song & was surprised they didn't use it.
Did they think it was too close to "Good Enough," as a solid, mid paced rocker?
But i think sandwiched between WCTBL? and Dreams, you do need a heavier track
to kind of keep things on track.
Sadly, they had a good intro, but a half baked tune.Graver, Walking Ed, refugee from CVH & proud tone chaser...

Ed probably didn't want another song about pussy. I'm being serious.
But at the time, there was the excitement of a new band, and Ed is non-confrontational. Instead of saying "hey, could you come up with something else?", Ed simply moved on.
Pure speculation of course.If I don't respond to you it means I have you on ignore, which means you are a douchenozzle.

Can anyone name the song that features the Kramer Ferrington?

I actually wished they brought up the guitar lines in dreams. Saturated with keys...you know the guitar is there, just pushed down really low in the overall mix. I prefer the live version where the guitar is more front and center, especially the chugging pedal tones at the beginning when the drums kick in. They should have brought up the guitar there.
