    In my opinion Fair Warning is VH's best album. It's my fav. Mean Street is arguably the best guitar riff ever written.

      Mean street is definitely one of Edward best riffs. It sounds mean(pun intended) aggressive, and FUNKY. Then add his God-like tone, that is one bad ass riff

    It is called “Mean Street”. Also, the Gene Simmons demo was recorded before they were signed by Warner Bros. The songs “Voodoo Queen” and parts of “She’s the Woman” were the progenitors of “Mean Street”. “She’s the Woman” is present on the 1976 Gene Simmons demo, but not “Voodoo Queen”-that was on the Warner demos (completely separate from the Gene Simmons demo) which were recorded just prior to the sessions for the first album proper.

  • @djmylesmatisse

    Mean Street is the song title. Singular not plural. I can see how many would confuse the title though. Fair Warning is my favorite Van Halen album and if I had to pick one song, I'd be cool with Mean Street. Just killer riffs, guitar solo and sexual swagger and a rhythm section swing no one in rock can touch.

    As good as the intro solo is, the out solo is even better.....incredible. Probably one of Eddie's best. Fair Warning is my favorite DLR era Van Halen album and Mean Street still gives me goose bumps when I listen to it.

    Eddie had hundreds of guitar parts he'd dig out of the vaults if the band needed them in future e.g. The keyboard intro to Right Now the 1991 track from the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album was an old part Eddie wrote and recorded as part of a film score for the 1984 movie The Wild Life

    "Changed my life" " Favourite Album" bla bla bla, but apparently doen´t know the right name of the song. It is Mean Street , not Streets. And the best thing is (or worse) : the editor for SiriusXM also does not know his/her Van Halen and gladly took the mistake in the describtion. Woeful.
