Again. My hero... in this particular version i love the shaking rhythm which makes you wanna swing like Eddie does in the video...

Maybe this ain’t one of the most “Van Halenish” songs they recorded but that staccato rhythm... god, i wish i was there.

And of course lets talk about the lyrics:

Drop dead legs, pretty smile, hurts my head, gets me wild. Dig that steam, giant butt, makes me scream, I get nuh-nuh-nothing but the shakes over you And nothing else could ever do. 

 maaan, David Lee Roth can write those “bad boy” lyrics that make you love him no matter what.

my hero. the one. Eddie MOTHERFUCKING Van Halen. i wish i could explain to you how much i admire Eddie. His expressions when playing THAT intro... maan i always wanted to be an “Eddie Van Halen on bass guitar”

those were the golden years, the years of David Lee Roth with his charisma on stage, he and Eddie OWNED that stage.  It was theirs, they went out every night and wowed the world. i confess that i bought a 7 string bass just to emulate his parts note by note...

i wish i could have written this episode of #60songs waaaaaay better but i seriously can’t find the words tho explain how much i love Eddie...

Here it is. another Motorhead song. yeah.

but you actually can’t imagine how big is their influence on me... Sex n Death (i know “n”... just lemme be a cool kid, c’mon) is a kinda “ordinary” Motorhead song but it has this super cool stop when the lyrics go:

Be damned, if you can't handle it, (We) hope you break your neck- Sex and Death!

that hits you in the guts like a motherfuckin cannon ball, this is for sure a party tune for its velocity and raw energy typical of most of Motorhead’s songs plus its canon-like intro is something totally unexpected that contributes to make this an asskicking song.

Tip: Put on yer plugs, blast the volume, open a stout beer and enjoy this tune.

OK. i know. i’m late for my “song story” as it should have been published on saturday, but i was kinda busy playin’ bass n lovin’ my bae...

anyway... here it is: i first heard this song about 3 years ago (i know it’s kinda late for A SONG LIKE THIS, but hey i got my times) and maaan, i was totally hooked. THAT GUITAR TONE, THAT RHYTHm SECTION. woah. this is for sure a blow-that-shit-up song, in fact when i hear it i immediately feel the need of blast the volume... YOU CAN’T JUST PLAY IT LOW...

one of my favourite song EVER for sure.

Woah, so... let’s begin this... i gotta admit i was kinda young when i first met Lemmy & Co. but the one thing immediately hooked me was his goddamn bass tone... it’s the fartest thing from THE traditional concept of “Bass Tone” (if you accept there’s a “traditional bass tone”, which i don’t) but it pops out so greatly between the guitars n drums that it’s totally impossible not to recognise it out of thousands bass tones... Lem was an incredible rhytmicist and his attitude, playing n singing style will always be with me no matter whether i’m playing jazz or black metal.

so, it's been a hell of a long time since my last post but whatever. i just wanted to tell ya few things: - we finally found a gooddamn singer - the new goddamn singer is awesome i mean... you can't even imagine how fucking great is not to have to care about the vocals... it's like an awesome new found freedom that allows me to play on my bloody bass what i REALLY want (and feel) to play, you know not all of us are Geddy Lee and when i HAD to sing i felt like something was missing from my basslines, like i couldn't focus entirely on the groove and on the harmony of the whole song. But now... Oh man. I fucking love my instrument more every day. So thank YOU Beatrice for having set free my creativity and for being such an awesome human being n singer.
