What can I say? I like Van Hagar! 1022.gif

5150 & F-CK are awesome but the other half is crap.

OU812 has a few solid tracks on it like "Naturally Wired (All Fired Up)."

 

Sadly most of the album is corporate crap like "Finish What Ya Started." 062802puke_prv.gif

I actually like OU812. I really love the song Black and Blue. The only song on the album I don't care for is Sucker in a 3 Piece, maybe the dumbest lyrics every by Sammy. And that's saying something.

biggrin.gif Yeah that one is dumber than a mound of dirt for sure.

You guys are insane.

 

'Sucker In a 3-Piece' is no dumber than half the crap DLR wrote.

 

Like someone said, they aren't meant to be serious lyrics. These guys are a 'party band'. It's a hillarious song...and furthermore, the music f'n rocks.

 

Like I've said before, haters will always hate. End of story.

The problem for me is not the Hate, it's when Sammy acts like his lyrics were so much better than Roth's. He always said he can't relate to Dave's lyrics but his are Worse than Roth's.

Why am I a "hater?" I said I like OU812. In fact, I like all the albums with Sammy, even though I think the band had a completely different sound, like Sabbath with Dio and Ozzy.

 

Some guys can pull of the suggestive lyrics and they sound witty. Steve Tyler up until Pump is a perfect example of this. Sammy's lyrics always seemed either forced (Good Enough) or sappy (When It's Love). I like his voice though, and I'm not looking for insight into the human condition when I listen to VH. I just think Sammy's lyrics are pretty dumb usually.

Exactly...'Source of Infection' is the perfect example that you don't necessarily need "thought-invoking lyrics" to make a great song. It's just mainly fun gibbirish that Sam probably sang on the fly. It worked.

 

It's a VH song in every sense...awesome guitars, entertaining 'lyrics', cool vocal melodies, and an all-around fun atmosphere.

 

I LOVE 'Source of Infection'. That and 'Sucker In a 3 Piece' are probably my two favourite tunes on OU812, along with Mine All Mine and Finish What Ya Started.

 

I think that OU812 is way better than most people give it credit for. Maybe if Roth was on it... wink.gif

I have all the DLR era albums, but honestly, I haven't listened to VHII, Women and Children First, Fair Warning or Diver Down in so long that I can't remember enough about them to rank them other than none of those are consistent. All I do know is that their first one is phenomenal and 1984 is really great, even though it kind of loses me on the last two songs.

same here . laugh.gif
