The fact that Dave and the boys are playing giant football stadiums and enema bag is playing in shitty dive bars and tiny theatres is just more and more proof that Spam's overall mean-spiritedness to Eddie is coming back to fuck him up.How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-RComment

...there were a few decent guitar-oriented ideas to be found among the Van Hagar drek, and the presence of Sammy made listening to them even more depressing than, say, When It's Love or something along those lines...where I wouldn't even WANT to hear Roth make an attempt to sing over that stuff.
I think AFU, Black and Blue, Source of Infection and Sucker in a 3 Piece each had sporadic moments of the classic sound and vibe. Enough to make me think that, for as much as Ed wanted to venture forth into the realm of Journey softness with his keyboard tunes, even he knew he could never fully strip himself away from his signature dirty, raw sound and style. Even the way the guitars were recorded on those songs were a pinch reminiscent of VH II. The same atmospheric sound from miking the back of the cabinets was there. On the follow up to that CD, I thought Runaround and parts of Pleasuredome had a vintage musical feel to it. More wasted ideas. Such a drag.Comment

0u8her2 isn't even a good solo Sammy album, let alone a VH album. And that's all I call the Van Hagar albums. Solo Sammy with a good band. Black and Blue was o.k. And Sucker. I mean Hot For Teacher was only 4 years earlier. Ed's worst guitar tone his whole career.Comment

I've never heard this album. But now I'm on Spotify listening it for the first time.
The first thing I notice is sound. With Dave they had some subtle melancholy and tounge in cheek, humorous, kinda charming and flirtatious sound. Hard to explain. Well, that's definitelly gone.
Edit: Damn, how long is this first song?? An hour? That's what it feels like...Last edited by envy_me; 12-09-2012, 04:43 PM.The heart is on the left. The blood is red.Comment

Sounds like a bunch of sheep..... which is appropriate, considering the sheep were the only ones who considered this piece of velveeta drenched crap to be "music"Eat Us And Smile

totally!
what you lose in sound and being close to the band, you gain in just the event & spectacle of it all. I will always prefer stadium shows to all others.
I've been with a dozen friends & it was a huge party. I've been alone & it was a huge party. Just nothing quite like 70,000 people singing along to a great song.
Mick..."pleased to meet you..."
70,000 fans ....."WHOOO HOOOO"
Mick...."hope you guess my name..."
