Per gli amanti della musica Hard Rock non deve essere assolutamente difficile collegare capolavori come "Jump" ai due fratelli Eddie e Alex. Una band americana che segnò la sua presenza nella storia della musica rock. Il successo fu dato dal loro stile, da una tecnica molto accennata da altri gruppi ma non ancora perfezionata: un mix di allegria e divertimento con la carica e l'adrenalina della musica hard rock.
David Lee Roth alla voce fu nel tempo sostituito da Sammy Hagar negli '80 che a sua volta nei '90 cambiò con Gary Cherone che non stette molto con i Van Halen per dei problemi alla salute di Eddy. Ri-scopritore o inventore della tecnica del tapping? C'è chi sostiene una e l'altra ipotesi ma la sua tecnica, le sue dita sul manico ci hanno regalato un capolavoro di "Eruption" che Eddy nei live deliziava a occhi chiusi con una sigaretta accesa tra le corde della chitarra.
"Fair Warning" non fu la perla dei VH ma lo considero tutt'oggi un album fantastico, carico di energia e adrenalina, di melodie divertenti e rock'n roll tipico degli Usa anni '80. È difficile fare una analisi completa della track list (9 titoli) ma vi garantisco in tutte ottimi riffs, ottime sfuriate, ottime urla, melodia tosta e abbondanza di tecninca da parte anche della batteria.

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
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
