19. UNCHAINED??!!!

Arrrgg - I'm gonna hang myself.

One of my all-time fave VH songs, and I didn't know it came from FW. (ooh, FW...).

"So this is love" too. Damn.

I should know this stuff.

What happened?

This stuff is gold:
-------
I cannot get there from here, baby
Then I don't care where I'm goin'
Here's to your thin red line
Mmm, I'm stepping over

Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker
Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

I know, I don't ask for permission
This is my chance to fly
Maybe enough ain't enough for you
But it's my turn at a try

Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address
Non-stop talker, what a rocker
Blue-eyed murder in a size five dress

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground running
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'....

(Guitar Solo)

Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

Woo-hoo! Take a look at this!
Hey man, that suit is you!
Whoo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure!
Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo!
(Come on Dave, gimme a break)
Hey hey hey hey! One break, comin' up!

Change, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'
Changed, ain't nothin' stays the same
Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'

20. I Originally Let This Album Slip By Me...

I loved I, II and Women and Children First...then I kinda' got into my Ozzy phase about the time this album came out. I didn't purchase Fair Warning until after Diver Down.

[coloradodem2005]

21. Maybe you need to go to the store and pick this one up.

This is like the Dark Horse in the VH catalog. The most popular VH albums are the first album, 1984, and to a lesser extent, 5150. "Fair Warning" is the album that is popular with the hardcore fans.

9. When Push Comes To Shove

May very well be his best solo. Tasteful.

[The Great Escape]

15. I Always Wondered What The Album Cover Was About?

I was fascinated by it

18. The world, viewed by innocents.
