Interview with Redbeard.

"C'mon Dave. Gimme a break"

"One break, comin' up!!!"

"Remember when that girl was prom queen? Ahhh, wowww..."

"TAAKE IT OOOOOFF! TAAKE IT OOOOOOOOFF!"

One of my favorites from VH!

I always HATED the art work of the cover - it was odd - dark -
the first 3 release LP's - they just looked cool - smooth
Fair Warning artwork sucked - tortured youth ?
but the guitar and songs were all strong - unique -
early Aerosmith type groove - Eddie shines again !
only 31 minutes long - lol - with that stupid instrumental - aghhh
Nothing touches those first three releases though -

I loved the artwork and how it seemed to coincide with the album titles like Mean Street, One Foot Out The Door, Push Comes To Shove, So This Is Love and even Sinner's Swing on the same one.

Great album that's just a tad lower than Van Halen II as my fave.

Great album. I think Alex came up with the idea to use that painting. Unchained is one of the greatest rifs.

This is such a great album!

Absolutely awesome album. Sunday Afternoon In The Park is just so eerie and moody. I always wished One Foot Out the Door was longer. It always seemed to end so abruptly.
