I didn’t think it was as bad as most of you, but I never liked the original either so I suppose that has some bearing on it. I always thought Jump was one of the least VH-ish songs of the Dave era.

I agree with you Ron. Jump is a terrible song imo too, and its popularity really shows how rock was morphing into pop around that time … at least if you wanted to sell albums.

(sidebar) If Eddie is so concerned that putting out a new album won’t produce the numbers(I.E.internet piracy), then let me offer a formula to create the best album of all time. First it must have the Simple rawness, in-your-face attitude of VHI with the technically brilliant insight of FAIR WARNING, the ‘pop’ catchiness of 1984, and the concern that it took to make 5150. As fans of VAN HALEN….. WE’RE STILL HERE!!!!!!!!!

This has got to be the lamest thing I have ever heard. Worse then Kid Incorporated!!!!

For all you wishers of new music go read the new guitar world magazine article with Ed on the cover. He basically says it’s not worth putting out new songs because all people want to hear is the old stuff.

Somebody drop a bomb on Glee. Jump is one of my least favorite VH songs but F Off Glee. They should round up all the people that watch that crap and stick them on a Rosie cruise.

It’s a compliment when someone covers your song, though some song covers deserve no compliment.

Fantastically good.
Al

No! I can’t listen to the whole thing!

Remember when people were bitching about too much Chickenfoot news?

I always like when Sammy covered this song, thought Sam did a better job singing this than Dave did.

Wheresdave:

I beg to differ.

Sam couldnt sing the dave era if he tried.
“…I got my ASS against the record machine?”
No thanks. I’ll stick with The orginal…

TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STYLES OF SINGING….AND MUSIC MY MAN.

Was a pretty good cover. No it wasn’t the Wailen Halen, but I’ve heard it done worse. C’mon they are just kids for christ sake.

GLEE is what television has become. A sad sack of so called talent.

Give me: Three’s company, All in the family, or The jeffersons anyday over this garbage…

I think the show itself is pleasantly humorous, but this was a pretty bad choice to make.
EasyStreet

Instead of listening to that again, I think I would rather pleasure myself with a rusty cheese grater!
EasyStreet

Sorry RickPride. Didn’t see your cheese grater comment! How about this? I would rather jump rope using barbed wire! I have listened to friends since high school tell me I was crazy for being such a VH fan because they were pop sellouts. I never have or would agree but soft serve frozen yogurt covers made for prime time TV do not help the cause. Then again, AC/DC, Ozzy, Judas Priest and on and on and on have all been victims of this kind of thing. It is a sign of the times and I’m sure our kids will one day be saying “How can they do that to Linkin Park or Korn or…whatever kids like today? Being old SUCKS!
