If you could have written any song in the entire VH catalog ...

[I Coulda Hada VH]

Which one would you choose and why?

[evhintexas]

Big Bad Bill....

[I Coulda Hada VH]

Big Bad Bill....

Lol.

[DJ Work'in Hard]

Ain't Talk'in 'bout Love. Because I've been to the Edge

[VH1986]

Love Walks In, because it's awesome and makes me think about aliens and love and stuff.

"In a simple rhyme."

There's just SOMETHING about that song (or everything).
I still think that "You think you got the interest" part, is such an amazing hook.
That abrupt little musical riff, echoed by the chiming guitar, with Dave's stellar
vocal on top...

And the way it ends, echoing the Angelic middle section...
It just makes the fur rise every time, because it's so beautiful, yet still badass.

That song takes you all over, and every part is great.

The demo had the seed of it, but the album version. PERFECTION.
Dave really changed the vocal melody and lyrics, made them great.

Two brilliant tunes that deserved to be massive radio hits, but never were:

Simple Rhyme by VH.

Tonight by Ozzy/Randy/Daisley.

Never understood why they were overlooked by rock radio in 80, 82.
That was the time for that great stuff, but radio fucked up on those two.

On Fire

Because it knocks your balls off.

[Raldo]

Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love

My favorite song by then. Killer riff, cool breakdown, anthemic ending.

[Dave's Dreidel]

In a Simple Rhyme

[bsbll4]

Whichever one gets me the most royalties, so....Jump?

[DFVH5150]

Dreams.

Ed in epic form:

In a simple rhyme

Hear about it later

Girl gone bad

By the time 1984 hit with Jump, i was kind of off the VH train and falling
in love with Metallica.

I got 1984 months after it came out, because i was getting into the heavier stuff.

I remember after 1984 & Jump passed, i REALLY liked every song after.

When i hit "Girl Gone Bad," i was blown away like the old days.

I remember thinking: My God, Ed is just a musical genius...

In A Simple Rhyme is easily in my all-time VH top 10 and Tonight is my all-time favorite Ozzy tune. CaboChris can confirm this.

Light Up The Sky

I’d love to be responsible for that ass kicking intro, the mean riffage, and that sweet, choppy rhythm playing in the breakdown.
