Van Halen - Best Song

Muscle Car Lover · 07-19-2015, 07:47 PM

I have no idea how most have either never heard this song, or don't think it captures everything about this epic band. Their best song IMO.

Atomic Punk:

Hmmm. I think the original VH best song was Hot for Teacher.

I love Van Halen, I wish they were somewhere close that I could see them on this tour. As a guitar player my favorite to play is Ain't talkin' bout love, or Hot for teacher. Their entire catalogue of songs is amazing. Panama is a great one to blast while driving down the road. It's hard to pick a favorite.

Panama is a great driving tune, but Atomic Punk is just nasty and raw, like how the band started.

I bet that was amazing to see. I've seen them once on the 2007/8 tour.

On Fire I think has one the highest engergy levels for a VH song, I'm the one is pretty good too.

That whole 1st album was epic. Hard to pick one song. After that it slowly went downhill.

However I do have choice seats for when them come here in Sept.

Roth blows but Eddie has still got it.

I'm been watching some videos of their shows this tour and Eddie is tearing it up.

Yeah, he hasn't lost a beat. I saw them a year or two ago as well. DLR was totally ****ing up and forgetting all the words and then just making fun of it. But Eddie just kept rocking which made it worth while. I don't expect much different this time.

I think everyone's given up on Dave actually singing the songs.

I've given up on listening to him talk too.

They need to do what Journey did and find someone who can sing the old songs, but that would mean bringing Michael back too.
