If even one of you says you dislike this song you’re a liar

Periphery V
Best album of the decade so far
I die on that hill

Bless your heart tech

 

[PeteLaramee]

Love the song. Love the album. My fave VH album.

How come ? I’m actually super inquisitive ? How old are you ?

I'm 28. My parents listened to a lot of classic rock, I find it boring to listen to.

Kicking Fuckin Ass!!!

I totally understand this perspective

I think some classic rock is objectively kickass (scorpions, Led Zep) but there's a whole hell of a lot of it I can see would be incredibly boring to people who weren't alive when it was released

Ya . 9 out of 10 your age do . As I teacher I see it . That’s why I asked .

 

[Solarflares]

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to hear this twice.
It is shit as fuck.

 

[HowieJams]

I can't think of many guitar players who can be the lone guitarist and pull off rhythm and leads in one song and make it sound like nothing is missing, he was truly a great guitar player and paved the way for many after him.

I actually find that I'm the odd man out in my peers, and that most enjoy classic rock.

To be fair, I listen to virtually no music with clean singing, and when I do, it's usually the stuff I can tolerate that my wife or someone else enjoys.

I think if you listened on a cranked old school high powered stereo, it would change your mind.

Listening to music the modern way is nothing like listening to an album on a high end stereo.

Most youts today, will never experience this.

Fair enough.
But most 80’s ‘rock’ had such coked-up production, that it was hardly the yardstick of sonorous fidelity!

This one’s for you then.

 

[70 Mach 1]

I liked it until the vocals kicked in.

My thoughts exactly.
Youd need Plant or Bon to pull it off and fuck the dan fag chorus

I’m sorry Howie, but this song sounds like Edward recorded a rough guide track - and then fucked off home until the start of the tour.

Ted Templeman realised that the sloppy part was impossible to double anyway, and I bet they tried everything to make it sound decently double-tracked - but gave up. So much coke going down that they just threw the usual kitchen sink at the rest, and let the flat guitar take its chances.
Why they didn’t have a wide, short Lexicon reverb on the guitar, or more room mic - is anyone’s guess. Why not the VH1 treatment?
Perhaps Edward threatened legal action if they released anything but the naked guitar? Who knows. He was crazy enough to pull such a stunt. Mind you, co-existing with DLR would have me self-harming after just one week I think.
No secret that Edward was a troubled soul - certainly around Fair Warning.

Fag Chorus.
That’s the words I was looking for.
Thanks Mach.

It was the 80s. Fit the times

I only liked VHs first two albums after that i turned away

Did see them once in 92 or 93 at the Nassau Coliseum

I was speaking of his career with VH as a whole, not just this song.
While this song is not a favorite of mine, I still could not play it with or without drugs in my system.
No, I don't do drugs or alcohol, heck I am married, all I have left is rock and roll, lol.

This was me to a 'T' To my ear, the first 2 albums sounded so rehearsed and so tight, an Women and Children sounded so 'off the cuff' and kind of thrown together by comparison. Over time, I have grown to absolutely love WAC for that very reason: just loose and wild. Lots of cool stuff buried in the less popular tracks on Fair warning, too.

In hindsight, think about what an atomic bomb VH-I was to the state of hard rock music at the time. And then think about everyone hanging on everything you record/release after that. 'No pressure...'

Yeah, first two were ok. Good energy. Basic production was a surprise, and a novelty at the time.
Not as special as people make out, for me. I saw right through it. As did all my friends. Very cheesy. Party band.

What was really the happening thing was Pat Travers becoming a polished two-guitar band.
Frank Zappa was playing out of his skin. UK with Allan Holdsworth - live. This was the yardstick

I remember it like yesterday.
Cheesy recycled Les Paul licks and blues cliches. Essentially rough guide guitar tracks - given the full treatment on the desk. Hey, it might be sloppy and rough - but we’ll just drive it into your face. That’ll work.
A shouty, screaming arsehole.
Drummer trying too hard -the Bass player in the corner, draped in his comfort blanket.
Then comes the Vaudeville rubbish, and strange high-pitched harmony vocals.
Not to mention the party band covers, and obvious filler material - unforgivable on a debut record.
