DLR as front man did not make VH great

[General Hina]

I'm soooooo tired of hearing everyone on the boards say that DLR being a great frontman is what made VH great. Here's the reason that's false. Before any of us ever saw VH live we heard the MUSIC first!! When I first heard RWTD I was totally blown away. Then I bought the album and couldn't believe how great this band was. Remember this was before MTV so none of us knew about VH live it was the music the captured us first. DLR's frontman antics was a bonus but the music was always first. I didn't see VH live until 1981 so up until then I was a fan of the band's first 4 albums without ever seeing the band live. That's all.

Dude, you just totally endorsed Dave.

You are essentially saying that everyone who says Dave was just a showman, was fucking wrong !! You are correct, we all heard the music
first, and thought how fucking great Dave was !!

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Obviously TMR missed that point.

So Genny's saying that the music didn't need a frontman to become great?

and The Doors, the second best American rock band of all time, didn't need Jim Morrison to get famous...

It wasn't just Dave = Great Frontman that made the VH package great... it was a combination of all the parts... Ed, Al, Mike & Dave that made it all great... plus the times, the music scene and the decadance of the late 70's early 80's.

The greatest thing that developed all this was 74-78 and the day-in day-out working the LA club scene and competative drive that took them from a backyard party band to a top billed act. Very very competative music scene back then and VH had to fight to be the best of the best. Once there they proved their weight in gold... just too bad they all got too big for their britches and blew out the seems in 84/85...
