The opening chug chug chug is maybe the best guitar sound ever recorded

Especially as it moves from a straight fuzzed-out muted chug to adding phasing as the band kicks in.

This song gets you in the door. “Mean Street” makes you want to stay forever.

My first exposure to VH. Kid a few years older, had this basement bedroom, with huge sound system. Played “Unchained” cranked when his mom was at work for my friend and I. Made him play it a few times, and I was hooked. Fantastic song.

I work in a retirement community. Today someone switched the music from the 50s channel. I walked in and heard Van Halen and it was quite the shock. Music is off now, for good I fear.

Not a lie, played it today at recess for my 2nd graders while we tossed the football. Spit out of my Bluetooth speakers. Also played Jump. I take education very seriously. Educate the WHOLE child 😏

My favorite VH album. I think my favorite track is Dirty Movies but the album is nearly a 100% winner which is unheard of.

Good album and I’ve always thought this was the 2nd best album cover. Fair Warning cover is so out of place with the other ones. 1984 cover is in the top spot though.
