"The Wild Life" movie score is legendary to Van Halen fans, as Eddie Van Halen wrote the score for the movie (Universal Pictures, 1984). "The Wild Life" stars Chris Penn and was the first script Cameron Crowe wrote after the success of "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" and is a typical '80's comedy and is somewhat of a "Fast Times" clone. The movie was only released on VHS - never on DVD, unfortunately.

Presented here is a compete instrumental from the movie score which has never circulated until now. Eddie played it on a Ripley guitar and called it "Ripley." ("Top Jimmy" was also called "Ripley" at one point. Both were written on Ripley guitars). It's a wonderful piece of music and is about the closest thing to "new" Van Halen music that we've had in a long time.

  • @tiktoffG13 yes , but it did`not interfere to record songs as Panama and Hot For Teacher on this album.

    And anyway.. We didn`t hear that Ripley after that

  • @RattleheadMan

    Maybe it was this.

    'Jump' was going to do alright as an album sale. Why not play this gem into a whole other trans album release tool?

    Twice as many sales that way, y'see.

  • @swassontelus ha ha ha. how you like my fist to your face?

  • @fraroc ha ha ha. How are those marshmallows between your ears?

  • Just a fucking great jam tune! ;-)

  • It is great song! I do not understand one thing.. Why they did not releas that song in 1984 ? It could be a great hit , like other songs of 1984
