[edwardocatflappo]

..anything that includes dave's superhuman screams , yelps & other amazing on the fly inventions.. something that sets him apart from anyone else.. SGMAD - includes a classic..

+

ed's OTT guitar on FW- some mindblowing solos on that one !

'push comes to shove' is a much underrated classic - the solo is spine tinglingly good!

The last bit of "so this is love" where everything feels so ENERGETIC [img]graemlins/bounce.gif[/img]

Here are 5 that come to mind:

1.) The tapping part of 'Dance The Night Away'
2.) "I like the way the line runs up the back of the stockings"
3.) "C'mon Dave, give me a break"
4.) "Hello baaaaaaaby!"
5.) Intro to 'Women In Love'

There are plenty more that I could list but some have already been covered by some of you.

And betty, your right! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] duhrrr [img]graemlins/drunk.gif[/img]

Cool choices! Im gonna try some that haven't been mentioned yet......

1. The high 16th notes that Mike goes to on Poundcake, then back down to the main 16th note groove that he uses the rest of the song. Towards the end.

2. The end of Good Enough, when Sammy's screaming and Ed switches to the more sustaining notes in the main riff, the only one holding the original groove is Alex, totally classic!

3. I like the opening of meansteet, the part when the drums kick in and Ed does a harmonic line along with the roll that Alex does.

4. On 5150, after Ed's solo, how he kicks right back into the opening riff again without a break, that just kills in concert!

5. The Chorus to 5150!

[THE HULKAMANIAC BROTHER]

any of the van halen songs where the chorus picks up in tempo. usually the guitar kicks it up a notch and you are going for a rock and roll ride brothersthat you will always love. to me take running with the devil. The opening guitar riff is like a old ride on the boardwalk at the jersey shore. you know what it will do, when it does it, how fast and how hard but it still rocks your world. it is the same on running with the devil intro or jump in the chorus. you know it coming. you know it time to grow your hair long and head bang and make some noise and yet it still hits you like a ton of bricks and afterward you want to smoke a ciggeratte because it was that damm good.
