│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 1981 all was not well in the world of the ║ │
│║ mighty VH. Tensions between guitarist Eddie Van ║ │
│║ Halen and singer David Lee Roth had been ║ │
│║ mounting, and it got to the point where Eddie ║ │
│║ had wanted to quite the group. He recorded ║ │
│║ music, possibly for a solo album, Roth heard it, ║ │
│║ and promptly wrote some lyrics--the ║ │
│║ result...FAIR WARNING. A rather, dark, cynical ║ │
│║ album, and one of the finest, if not finest, ║ │
│║ recording Van Halen ever made. The tensions ║ │
│║ within the band helped to fuel the fire, the ║ │
│║ intensity, and the passion of the recording ║ │
│║ process. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With the exception of Van Halen 3, (with ║ │
│║ vocalist Gary Cherone) "Fair Warning" was the ║ │
│║ least commercially successful Van Halen album. ║ │
│║ Although it is generally regarded among fans ║ │
│║ (especially VH purists) to be one of the bands' ║ │
│║ best albums. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Although still a "party" album, complete with ║ │
│║ sing-along choruses, "Fair Warning" is by far ║ │
│║ the band's darkest album. The overall vibe of ║ │
│║ the album, as well as Eddie Van Halen's riffs ║ │
│║ and solos, while undeniably catchy with great ║ │
│║ hooks, also have a cloudy somberness to them. ║ │
│║ David Lee Roth's lyrics, for the most part, are ║ │
│║ also somewhat more cynical than most of his ║ │
│║ work, before or since. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Fair Warning" shows Van Halen at their zenith. ║ │
│║ Truth be told--the first six Van Halen albums ║ │
│║ are all masterpieces and essential to any great ║ │
│║ rock collection, but "Fair Warning" is the crown ║ │
│║ jewel of VH's output. Even more so than the ║ │
│║ classic debut album. "Fair Warning" simply shows ║ │
│║ each member of the band, and the band overall as ║ │
│║ a unit, at their finest. "Fair Warning" ║ │
│║ demonstrates Eddie Van Halen's best riffs, ║ │
│║ solos, and overall playing. It's flashy, yet not ║ │
│║ self-indulgent, intense, yet also has a lot of ║ │
│║ soul, something that a lot of technical wizards ║ │
│║ lack. It was on "Fair Warning" that Eddie found ║ │
│║ the "brown sound." ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Fair Warning" is also singer David Lee Roth's ║ │
│║ finest hour. His lyrics and delivery are at ║ │
│║ their most witty, ironic and colorful ║ │
│║ height--like in the classic "one break, ║ │
│║ commmming uppp!"--from "Unchained" (which was on ║ │
│║ the spur-of-the-moment, and not pre-planned). On ║ │
│║ "Fair Warning," David Lee Roth is immortalized ║ │
│║ as the world's coolest frontman, ever. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Fair Warning" also shows Van Halen's rhythm ║ │
│║ section at their best. Bassist Michael Anthony ║ │
│║ has never been hailed as the world's greatest ║ │
│║ living bassist. He is primly there to serve, ║ │
│║ along with drummer Alex Van Halen as the musical ║ │
│║ backbone of the band, to let Eddie do his thing. ║ │
│║ On "Fair Warning," although his lines are pretty ║ │
│║ straightforward, they are also right upfront. ║ │
│║ You can hear the bass throughout the entire ║ │
│║ disc, it really stands out and enhances the ║ │
│║ sound and vibe of the album overall. On songs ║ │
│║ like "Push Comes to Shove" and "So This is ║ │
│║ Love," you can get into the bass as much as any ║ │
│║ other aspect of the sound. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Mean Street" opens with the sound of a ║ │
│║ guitar--quite at first, and then getting louder ║ │
│║ and louder--of Eddie noodling on the fretboard. ║ │
│║ And then the main riff kicks in, a mean, killer ║ │
│║ riff, one of 80s rocks' finest. At this point ║ │
│║ you are thrust into the all-consuming greatness ║ │
│║ that is classic Van Halen. This mid-tempo rocker ║ │
│║ simply shows classic Van Halen at their ║ │
│║ best--young, invigorated, ready to kill. "Fair ║ │
│║ Warning" then moves into the dark, highly ║ │
│║ underrated "Dirty Movies." This song starts out ║ │
│║ melodic, yet somewhat morose and creepy. The ║ │
│║ underwhellming drums at the beginning add the ║ │
│║ perfect effect. After a few seconds the main ║ │
│║ riff kicks in, and this loud and heavy, yet ║ │
│║ midtempo, melodic rocker begins. This ode to the ║ │
│║ porn industry shows the band at it's most ║ │
│║ cynical--from the perspective of its rowdy ║ │
│║ audience. The radio staple "Sinners Swing" is a ║ │
│║ bit more upbeat, but only slightly so. The ║ │
│║ midtempo "Hear About it Later," a song about ║ │
│║ unfaithfulness, is bitter, yet confident. The ║ │
│║ rhythm section towards the end of the song--with ║ │
│║ Michael Anthony's pounding bass over Alex Van ║ │
│║ Halen's light percussion is magnificently ║ │
│║ stunning. "Unchained" is undeniably the albums' ║ │
│║ highlight and one of Van Halen's, and rocks' ║ │
│║ greatest songs. From the classic opening chords, ║ │
│║ the fast paced riff, to it's conclusion, this ║ │
│║ song is a masterpiece, and simply shows VH at ║ │
│║ their peak. The album comes back to earth with ║ │
│║ the funky, disco-like "Push Comes to Shove." "So ║ │
│║ This is Love?" is one of Van Halen's best songs. ║ │
│║ It's incredibly catchy, with a great bass intro, ║ │
│║ and great riff and hook. If you listen to "So ║ │
│║ this is Love," it is guaranteed to put a smile ║ │
│║ on your face, that's how magical it is. "Sunday ║ │
│║ Afternoon in the Park" is a foggy, somewhat ║ │
│║ offbeat instrumental. It adds a nice touch to ║ │
│║ the album overall. This instrumental leads into ║ │
│║ the short-but-sweet closing "One Foot Out the ║ │
│║ Door" which shows Diamond Dave at his meanest, ║ │
│║ with lyrics like "Now I'm gonna lose it 'cause ║ │
│║ that son-of-a-bitch"...A perfect conclusion to ║ │
│║ the perfect record. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Before Van Halen wrote songs like "Why Can't ║ │
│║ this be Love," before the lead-singer soap ║ │
│║ opera, there was a time when Van Halen was ║ │
│║ rightfully called the Mighty Van Halen, and ║ │
│║ "Fair Warning" proves it. The best word to ║ │
│║ describe Van Halen at this stage in their career ║ │
│║ is, quite simply, cool. "Fair Warning" is simply ║ │
│║ one of the best, coolest rock albums you will ║ │
│║ ever hear in your life. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The 2000 remaster sounds especially clear and ║ │
│║ sharp. You can make out subtle things that were ║ │
│║ easy to miss on the original CD pressing. Now ║ │
│║ "Fair Warning" can be enjoyed in all its ║ │
│║ greatness. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well I'm just writing to confirm what everyone ║ │
│║ already knows. Fair Warning is their darkest, ║ │
│║ moodiest album. It is their least commercially ║ │
│║ successful album (we're not even counting VH3 ║ │
│║ with Cherone-don't go there!!) and it is by far ║ │
│║ a fan favorite and as one reviewer put it, "vh ║ │
│║ purists" like it the most. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I grew up with 1984 and the Van Halen debut CD. ║ │
│║ I didn't really even look into Fair Warning ║ │
│║ until years later. What I found was an album ║ │
│║ with some cover art of an old painting, a ║ │
│║ collage of abstract 1920's people...and I could ║ │
│║ make out some kid in a street punching some guy ║ │
│║ on the ground in the face! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album will do that to you! It is POWERFUL. ║ │
│║ It is DARK. It is HEAVY. And it is fun. My ║ │
│║ favorite songs are when the brooding bass solo ║ │
│║ of "one sunday afternoon in the park" goes into ║ │
│║ the song "got one foot out the door". The ║ │
│║ crescendo of the bass going into that song is ║ │
│║ brilliantly done. Other songs I like (I like the ║ │
│║ whole album!) are Fair Warning, especially the ║ │
│║ lyrics from the song Mean Street: ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "See, a gun is real easy ║ │
│║ in this desperate part of town ║ │
│║ Turns you from hunted into hunter (Yeah) ║ │
│║ You go an' hunt somebody down ║ │
│║ Wait a minute, ah Somebody said Fair warning, ║ │
│║ Lord, ║ │
│║ strike that poor boy down!" ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ What's so great about Roth-era albums is their ║ │
│║ raw energy...you have Eddie's signature guitars ║ │
│║ needling away in the foreground while the ║ │
│║ background has his dark, deep bass and drums ║ │
│║ going on. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Unlike Van Halen's other David Lee Roth-era ║ │
│║ albums, not a single party anthem was included - ║ │
│║ in its place was an unmistakable feeling of ║ │
│║ strife and friction, both lyrically and ║ │
│║ musically. The album opener, "Mean Street," ║ │
│║ contains a furious guitar intro by Eddie before ║ │
│║ leading into one of VH's funkiest grooves. While ║ │
│║ the mood is eased from time to time throughout ║ │
│║ ("Dirty Movies," "Hear About It Later," "Push ║ │
│║ Comes to Shove"), the album is simply an ║ │
│║ unapologetic ass-kicker - "Sinner's Swing!," ║ │
│║ "Unchained," "So This Is Love?," and "One Foot ║ │
│║ Out the Door" capture the band at its red-hot ║ │
│║ fiercest. Along with their self-titled debut and ║ │
│║ 1984, Fair Warning is an undisputed Van Halen ║ │
│║ masterpiece. ║ │
