Subject: More V.H. licks Atomic Punk/Dancin in Streets

Off of VH #1 and diver down for sure.

Here is the beginning lick of Atomic Punk.Use a flanger,or combfilter,and
a tad o' slapback delay for the Sliding noise effect.The partial rhythm
for Dancing in the Street's is a distorted heavily echo timing thing.
Oh maybe if you want to try a different thing for the Atomic Punk you can
add a wah into the signal and roll it back a little and give it a try.
This seem's to make it more fatter or give it just the right hint of
sustain when you need it.I think.Tune those babies down a 1/2 step too.
Atomic Punk by V.H. intro _
use vibrato _= whammy a few times[re 7]

g 7 8 7
d 5 04 7Sl.8 5 04
a * * * play twice 7 5 6 7
e * * * * * * 0 0
*=scratch srings with edge of palm in like a rhythm of three.You really need
the flange for this and echo would add a cool effect if you time it rite.

it is about, roth as the actor in the theatre of hard rock as a personification of Satan whose fearsome name is "Held" the ruler of the land of the dead- nether worlds the storm which bore the child is the storm between Yahweh and Satan and ultimately the fearsome representative of Yahweh, Michael, the Archangel or better known in human form as Jesus Christ, wow!!! Atomic Punk, is a descritpion of a being not human- hence starting with I AM, forgetting age, ruling streets, undergeround, a demon personified thsi song is perfectly related to OnFire and Light Up The Sky Rock has always had strong Spiritual and Satanic themes and overtones. To deny it is to deny the very "Spirit" of Rock-n-Roll:TheAtomicPunk

I think 'ol Diamond Dave is talking about Van Halen itself in this song... or he could be talking about himself and how big of a star Van Halen has made him. Of course now that I think about it, I have no idea what this song is talking about.
