romeo delight vs. mean streets

[Eyes of the Night]

Okay here's one for all you peeps out there, it's been awhile but thought I'd start a "vs" thread since I haven't seen them here in awhile.

I'm not goin' to explain to much about these songs cause I want to see what you guys think, then I'll post my fav a little later.

Whoa EYES! Nuthin' like startin' at the top of the heap, huh?

Wow! 2 of the most incredible classic VH era songs of all time, both of them filled with the sway and swagger of the greatest frontman to EVER hit the stage as well as some of the finest fretboard work that could shred granite! I hate to have to pick one over the other, but I think I have to give the SLIGHTEST edge to...

Mean Street.

At least you didn't do Full Bug vs. Light Up The Sky...

yet!

"Whenever we come to Milwaukee, we try and have a special surprise for you here and tonite we got a whole sh*tload of 'em for you and right now, we want to whip the first one at you here! Y'know, usually Ed doesn't sing this part of the song and when he does tonight for the first time, you'll find out why!"

-David Lee Roth, Milwaukee 1980

Both songs are amazing! I love the killer metal sounding riffs at the beginning of Romeo Delight! That crunches!

But I'm gonna give the slight edge to Mean Street

[jsky]

Mean Streets- great guitar intro, great lyrics.

[jaybird]

Mean Street, hands down. One of the rawest VH songs (if not THE rawest) ever written.

[Eyes of the Night]

Well damn? This one was easy for me, besides listening to it on live tapes and cd boots this song is the best opener I think VH has ever had.

It also has more energy then it's counterpart with prob the best bridge ever made by VH.

Well, I had to go and listen to both of these songs back to back. Ya know to compare them. And I still can't make up my mind. So I guess I'm just gonna have to delare it a tie.
