Exactomundo! Even in 98 when Eddie was sprouting all that shit about "Gary is my brother, has elephant balls, sings like a angel, this is the singer i've been looking for etc" bulldust I could just hear it in the songs man, this was a temp deal. Gary was always pretty humble about it and the tour was mostly a Roth nostalgia trip....
If anything it was the solo album that Ed never made. He took Sammy on board '85 and had all those vultures around him living off him, he was forced into the whole sold out crystal pepsi deal. Then he makes III and WB reluctantly lets it out, refuses to do another with Gary. To me it sounds like Ed saying to Dave "Hey I've cut the cheese, this isn't for the charts, respect me Dave?" Maybe.
Did Sammy VH have a better album? 5150, FUCK? Are these more listenable than III? Whaddya reckon fellas?
