Quote their unique spin on the hard rock format was that they planned to operate without a guitarist, with Joel feeding his Hammond organ through a wall of amplifiers My first thought was this must of sounded like shit. My second thought was I have to find this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Jon Lord, running his Hammond through a Marshall stack in addition to a Leslie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great song, almost as good as Hagar era stuff. I never thought about an organ when listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Would rather listen to that than his post Phil Ramone material. Hell, even Billy says Fire was a stupid song. He needed hits and touring to make money after his ex brother in law financially stabbed him in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting question. If VH's first 4 albums had been 5150, OU812, For Unlawful and Balance, how would they be thought of now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were no records before then, annd those records were released in the 80's like they were..... I think Van Halen today would have the reputation of a RATT or a Cinderella....maybe even the same cred as Tesla. Nothing more than that. IMO. I think we'd be looking back at them as another 80's pop rock band, although a pretty good one. Edited June 27, 2023 by grep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
