i listened, indiscriminately mind you, and i gotta say it....they're bullshit. sammy was never really good at 'quality control', if you think about it, can you say that you've sat and listened to a side two of any of his solo albums?......yeah, i know, me neither. what's going on now is a bit embarassing, the screams for diamond dave will become deafening. which works to the advantage of the dave era van halen hardcore futhermuckers like myself. you gotta look at the big picture from a slight distance i guess............
