RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm really loving the new Van Halen album as I would assume most of you are! It's fanfukkingtastic! I'm DEAF!!! Anyway I had to play the acoustic guitar intro over and over again on "Blood And Fire." It instantly reminded me of a few Rush acoustic guitar intros. What do you think Rushheads? "Blood And Fire" "Closer To The Heart" "The Trees" "A Different Kind Of Truth" is "ALBUM OF THE YEAR!" Will "Clockwork Angels" top it??????????

analog guy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I will say this.... based on what I'm hearing so far, Tattoo was a pretty bad choice as the single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be honest and open hearted with my "Clockwork Angels" review but I just don't see how the new album will top this new Van Halen record. Most humans thought that Eddie was washed up and done. Eddie is back and I am sure that his guitar work will blow Lifeson's away on "Clockwork." Will Geddy and Nick even let Alex solo for more that five seconds? It doesn't matter at this point. Eddie is kicking my ass right now. A LEGEND!! ALBUM OF THE YEAR! Worth the 12 year wait!! "While the servant waits the masturbates."

Hey! I would compare "Tattoo" to "Jump." It's the first song on the record. After the the album will melt your ears and smoke your brain into a bloody pulp!!! The cops might be coming by my house tonight. I'm cranking it again!! Not sure if "Clockwork" will even come close to this sonic brilliance. Cheers!

Geddy on his worse vocal day is way more cohesive with the music than Dave is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The new VH is good but it's but it's not THAT good. The new Rush album already has it beat since Caravan and BU2B alone are superior to anything on the new VH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 These "comparisons" always seem to happen. Go listen to Rush's "Xanadu". Now go listen to Van Halen's "Pleasure Dome" from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. What do you think? Clem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Eddie and Alex have praised each others work over the years...I actually think lifeson was problem more influenced by Eddie than the other way around...listen the freewill solo...pyrotechnic flash... As far as the comparisons between the two bands...they both rock in their own way...vastly different attitudes and approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaldad Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey Earl........... Apples and Oranges . They Never sounded the same. In their prime for both bands in 1981, they never sounded alike . Enjoy both albums this year, cause i don't think it's gonna happen ever agian for the two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake2112 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Eddie has come out and said that the intro and subject matter for "Pleasure Dome" was inspired by "Xanadu." And if anyone saw them on the 07-08 tour, Alex's drum solo had all the horn cues that Neil's has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patjnev Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm not feeling the new VH work. Dave would of been good in 96 but now his voice is shot. I just want to make one point about Wolfgang and Micheal . If back in the day MA said to Eddie " Hey I want to explore more intricate bass parts " Eddie would of thrown him out on his ear. All Eddie wanted from MA was a quarter note thump and maybe a fill now and then . he didn't want any other instruments in the band stepping on his fills.But now that HIS SON is the Bass player suddenly VH gets it own version of Billy Sheehan. I was a huge VH fan in the past but I see hear little reason now to buy this CD . VH as a Rush fan ? NO Eddie is only interested in stealing riffs from Trevor Rabin .

reani14 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah real intellgent lyrics for tattoo, Its van halen or david lee roth letting the world know Hey, we are aware of the tattoo craze since we last left in 1984.. Very deep meaningfull lyrics there. Van halens legacy is totally destroyed over the years. too much controversy . I think alot of old fans are so glad to see them back with david lee, they will take anything the band puts out and force themsleves to like it , just cause its van halen with david lee...

Except for some of Sammy's songs, VH has never had serious lyrics, especially with Roth. I'm not sure what you were expecting but intelligent lyrics isn't something Roth does. He has some clever word play but he's never deep or thought provoking at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
