Songs In My Head And Other Thoughts

The Bon Jovi New Jersey album popped up in my playlist recently (totally underrated btw) and I can't help but think this was a Van Halen rip off with Sambora putting forth a few Eddie van Halen licks and Mr Bon Jovi doing his best Mr Lee Roth lyrics and vocal impersonation.



What do you reckon Ulahoopski ?

Reminds me of 'Just like Paradise' and every other 1984 EVH song, and by reminds me, I mean shamelessly imitate. This doesn't have Roth's passion or EVH's virtuosity though and it really shows.

I met someone who likes van Halen, but not David Lee Roth era Van Halen, I was disgusted.

Don't remember that one but will listen after work.
I'm loving the new Queensryche album atm. A return to the glory days of Rage for Order imo.

Wtf? Pre 84 VH craps all over Van Hagar!!
 
Bump.

Hey Riviat, remember when you posted The Irrepressibles - In This Shirt in the song contest thread and I gushed over it? Well, I found this version below, changed it up a little, and learnt to play it on piano. I am forever grateful to you for introducing me to the song.

Now this is the news I like to hear of the impact that my songs have. That's a great cover too.
