Jammin' this on Tidal. Apparently the 2015 remaster is the only one available.

Still, sound quality's impressive.

Also, RIP EVH.

Hard riffage.

Shame that Jamie's Cryin' is on here.

They prob coked hard while recording this.

Little Dreamer riff is too good.

Listening again, opener's so good.

Some kickass drumming here.

"Shame that Jamie's Cryin' is on here."

Dafuq? Jamie's Cryin' is ace.

Also, they couldn't afford coke until after this album.

To each their own Sitar, I find JC to be the one dud here, otherwise album rules.

EVH prob had some Iommi in him.

He's gone, but at least the music's there.

"EVH prob had some Iommi in him"



He was most definitely jamming Sabbath like all the youngsters, but i doubt he has much of Iommi in him. I just don't hear it.

DLR is proof that actual singing chops are secondary to charisma.

The wrong vocalist can ruin an otherwise great album *cough* Charlie Dominici *cough*.



Billy Corgan once said that the great thing about Van Halen was that even though they were the cool rockstars that everyone wanted to be like, their vibe was that everyone was invited to the party, and not just the cool kids. To me that's mainly because of DLR. He dry humped the line between being a rockstar cliche and poking fun at rockstar cliches. And with Michael Anthony and Eddie doing better than average backing vocals and carrying the melodies DLR never really had to be a great singer.
