This song is legendary. How could no one Comment?

Alrite, well the song starts off with some thick and chunky guitar work from God(Eddie) and then leads into an all out rocker as the Rhythm Section joins, as Dave does a few of his trademark shouts.

Roth starts "singing"(it is more like shouting on key for this part) with some slightly Busy guitar work in the background, but nothing too distracting. It leads into the Pre-Chorus where the whole band sings some backup vocals, and then leads into the Chorus. "Change" and "Unchained" are sang by all of the band members, as Eddie plays the Intro beneath it all, this time with the Rhythm Backing him up on vocals and instruments.

The solo in this song isnt some of Eddie's BEST work, but it is simple and fits the song, which is fine. With some odd articulation, he makes the song kind of jolty.

Another run through the Chorus leads into a small Bridge part, where Dave is shouting at someone(at the recording studio?). The "someone" shuts Roth up, and "one break" comes up. Leading back into the Chorus until the end. THe last chorus has a bit of simple(as far as Van Halen goes) soloing, and it ends off with another little lick.

Not sure what the song is about, im assuming maybe about leaving a girl(ball and chain) and now he is free and wants to get back to being himself again(Hits the ground(breaks up) and starts running(back to his old self).

Amazing song. Classic.
