My new remix of Up For Breakfast

[KS 5150]

Just in time for Sammy's birthday, I've done a remix of Up For Breakfast, that I think a lot of you will like...it rocks:

Sorry, everyone...it glitched for a few minutes....should work now.

Neat to hear the instrumental version, and I'm obviously a Sammy fan.
It sounded heavier, if that makes sense? My phone/internet is acting up so I only heard about a minute of it, yet dug it.

UFB was one of the grooviest tunes VH had ever made with Sammy, and it was killed by those godawful lyrics. Such a waste.

That was great...thanks for posting! As with most Van Halen isolated tracks, you hear details in the music that were missing.

Glad you enjoyed it! I've always skipped that track, specifically bc of the terrible lyrics. Figured if I removed them, I would listen a lot more as the music itself is great.

I'm sorry, but this really cracked me up.

Ive never been critical of Sam’s Lyrics. The guy has written more songs then 95% of his contemporaries. I liked 90% of his VH catalog. Never felt the need to compare him and Dave. Two completely different people with two different styles. I do think Dave has moments of brilliance few have. But that’s not a cut on Sam.

That said, UFB was the worst song lyrically I can ever imagine Sam writing. It makes you cringe. (Not How Many Say I cringeworthy but very bad.) Cool to hear that song without the lyrics.

[Bad to the Bone]

I will never defend the lyrics on UFB, I do like the ride out but it's the same one that's on Act Like it Hurts if memory serves me. I do think at that point Sam just wanted to get the fuck out of the studio. It's the last song they worked on and if it was as bad as has been indicated I honestly think he just wanted out. That's not to justify anything, it never should have been released.

Listening to the instrumental version, it sort of reminds me of Man on a Mission.

[Little Dreamer]

I mean the music's not bad, but it's ok, but it's not great. It's not like Drop Dead Legs or Best of Both Worlds or 5150. Sammy messed up with his terrible lyrics. But I don't think he writes lyrics like that when he receives amazing music. Like with 5150, or Seventh Seal, you can tell Sam thought "ok this could be an important song, i better not mess this up, I'm gonna bring on my A-game." He obviously didn't think the same way for UFB.
