Za-Za

The flaming man on the high rise on this cd cover was like a symbol of the Bullet Boys. Going out in a blaze of glory at the end of their contract with Warner Bros. They went out the same way they came in. In typical David Lee Roth fashion. Even the title Za-Za, drips with the over the top showmanship of classic Van Halen. While still keeping the attitude driven lyrics that made them famous in songs like When Pigs Fly, the boys also tackled deeper topics like the L.A. riots with Sing A Song and even recorded their first official ballad, Mine, with remarkable Journey-esque style. This was a fantastic record that showed musical growth without straying from the style that made them famous. --Scott
