Just curious...
I know the orgins of the titles of all the VH albums except these 2. in other words, why the named the record as such.. but I've never heard how they got the names for ou812 and FW.
Is Ou812 a play on Eat 'em and Smile, or what?

no, eat em and smile was before ou812, EEAS was '86, and ou812 was '88. no clue about fw though. ou812 was definitely in response to EEAS.

I was always told OU812 was a "play" on Eat Em and Smile. But that's just what I've always been told.

redfire.. that's what I've been told as well.. just cant confirm it anywhere!
My friend told me that the Mike, Al and Eddie eached picked up a copy of EEAS without the others knowing.. when they found out.. it turned into a joke that evolved into "Oh, you ate one too?" (you bought a copy, too?)

I believe "Fair Warning" simply came from the line in Mean Street.

They were talking to some boxer guy (I don't know why)and one of them said fuck. The boxer said do you know that really means For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. They did some research and found out he was right. So that's what they titled their album.

I think II was so named because it was their second album!

Balance was just a cool album title Alex suggested in 1991..
FUCK is the legal definition of that word.. they almost called the album "Fuck" because of all the censorship.
Diver Down.. (this may be off a bit) I thought Dave said when you see the Diver flag.. often the Divers are doing experiments underwater. Diver Down is an experimental record because of all the cover songs.
WACF.. I heard Dave tell a story about this too. Don't remember how it went, but it involved Pete Angelus who yelled out "Women & children first!!!"

The front of Diver Down is the flag that shows ships divers are under water.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Yeah, that's close to what I heard. It was a reference to the fact that with Van Halen, there's alot going on below the surface that you don't see.

I have a feeling Tulsi Gabbard will last the longest in Trump's cabinet and will eventually take over MAGA when he's out of office. Sorry Vance, but he's milquetoast. Tulsi is the future!
