i see that little guitars post, and i agree it rocks! i shows why VH ain't your typical rock band...it's so unique and just on it's own platform. such a feel good song without any machoism from a band that had it in spades...lucky for us they had soul to match, and could pull off anything they tried!

on the drive home today, i popped in an unmarked mix tape, and several tracks after little guitars came push comes to shove! what a showcase of every band member's talents, shown off in a very "un-vh like" song...well it's like they said about general lee's dignity-"the way you expect it after you'd come to expect it". vh can do anything, and when you come to expect/accecpt it none of their songs are "un-vh like" are they?!?!?

great soulful singing from dave, great bass fills from mike...the pre chorus melodies from ed are terrific...and the SOLO! wow! just a master of phasing...and the song comes back in in a modulated raised key for tension (like take your wiskey home) NOBODY'S DOING THAT SHIT NO MORE! what about al's contribution? i don't remeber being wowed by it, but he really was the man back then...lots of syncopation with ed...wow..you know a band is amazing when you realize over and over, and are honest about it each tme, that you are STILL shocked that these four guys could do this!

Great, great solo.

Dave doing some of his screams at his very Joplin-esque best at the end.

Great part was where they placed it, after 5 slamming rock tunes in a row.

Great bass lines, agreed.

YES! Check out a tune called love muscle.

But also, flippin' sweet song, excellent guitar work. I couldn't come up with this one on my own, even if I was shitting on the pot for 3 hours. I usually come up wiht my best licks taking a dump.
