For Hard Rock music lovers, it should definitely not be difficult to connect masterpieces like "Jump" to the two brothers Eddie and Alex. An American band that marked its presence in the history of rock music. Their success was due to their style, a technique somewhat hinted at by other groups but not yet perfected: a mix of joy and fun with the energy and adrenaline of hard rock music.

David Lee Roth on vocals was eventually replaced by Sammy Hagar in the '80s, who in turn was replaced by Gary Cherone in the '90s, who didn't stay long with Van Halen due to Eddie's health problems. Rediscoverer or inventor of the tapping technique? Some support one hypothesis and others the other, but his technique, his fingers on the neck, gave us the masterpiece "Eruption" which Eddie delighted in live performances with his eyes closed and a lit cigarette between the strings of the guitar.

"Fair Warning" wasn't the gem of VH but I still consider it today a fantastic album, full of energy and adrenaline, with fun melodies and typical '80s USA rock'n roll. It's difficult to make a complete analysis of the track list (9 titles) but I assure you all of them have excellent riffs, great outbursts, great screams, tough melody, and plenty of technique also from the drums.

Tracklist Lyrics and Videos

01   Mean Street (05:01)

02   "Dirty Movies" (04:07)

03   Sinner's Swing! (03:09)

All right, you sinners, swing!

Danger in the rearview mirror
There's trouble in the wind
Badness bringing up the rear
The menace's loose again
She looks so fuckin' good
So sexy and so frail
Something got the bite on me
I'm goin' straight to hell

And now we're wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don't waste time

Come back to your senses, baby
We can come to terms
I can almost taste it
It burns
You'd be sitting pretty
But you try to take the Fifth
Wearin' out my welcome
Guess I better say my prayers

And now we're wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don't waste time

Get, get, get, get, get out and push [x4]

Get, get, get, get, get out and push [x4]

Soon you'll see my silhouette
Darkenin' your door
I can almost taste it
I want more
No one's above suspicion
No one's got it wired
I'll eat with my fingers
Want my iron in that fire

And now we're wasting time
Same old pickup lines
And you keep trying
Don't waste time

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

04   Hear About It Later (04:34)

05   Unchained (03:29)

Alright!
Haaa ha ha ha!

You say, I cannot get there from here, baby
Then I don't care where I'm goin'
Here's to your thin red line
Mmm, I'm stepping over

Thought you'd never miss me 'til I got a fat city address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker
Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

I know, I don't ask for permission
This is my chance to fly
Maybe enough ain't enough for you
But it's my turn at a try

Thought you'd never miss me 'til I got a fat city address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker
Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground running
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Woo hoo! Take a look at this!
Hey man, that suit is you!
Woo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure!
Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo!
(Come on Dave, gimme a break)
Hey hey hey hey! One break, comin' up!

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Changed, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained
