Question regarding VHIII song

[DavidLeeNatra]

bob rock produced ALAE and did a good job...

THe tour was awesome, Cherone checked his ego at the door, and played just whatever. He didn't have to crap up the set with Extreme tunes either, I remember an interview with Gary where he mentioned Ed asking him what solo stuff to put in the set, and he said "None".

Yes, but much like Motley Crue and Metallica, the band was never the same after the first album he did with them.

He squeezed out all he could for one album with each band.

Ed's playing on the 3 tour was flawless. If you doubt it, go find some boots. He shredded the old stuff, nearly note for note.

The tour were solid performances night in and night out.

Remember the story on metalgrudge about Gary cutting his hair off? Some questionable shit about him just bawling his ass off? Fuck, I gotta find that....supposedly Mike had said some shit about them joking that Ed made Gary cut his hair off.

Anyone?

That's because Ed was still off the sauce at that point.

At a minimum, he was less drunk.

I agree though, Ed's playing was flawless on the VD3 tour.

Well there ya go. I think he was pretty clean back then yes. Very clear-headed. He played very well on the Balance tour too when he had his head right.

I had never seen any footage of the tour from last year until yesterday...that was really sad to watch.

How bad were his solos?

[Brett]

See dude the show I went to in LA was really fucking good. He was on. Maybe because he was home, he wasn't wasted as much I don't know. But ask anyone who was there that first night at Staples. He sounded like Ed. He still did meander during his solo, but the songs were tight and Ed was playing fine. Even whipped out the "Hot For Teacher" intro for his solo, and it sounded perfect.

I have seen the bad footage too, I really can't explain why he was fine at that show I went to.

I don't remember that, but I could believe it. I could see Gary bawling his ass off, if you know what I mean :D
