I think you've hit the nail squarely on the head on both counts.

Comparing the sound Baker got out of the Cars to what Ted and Don got out of VH on 1984 is a dead ringer.

For example, Alex's sound peaked on 1984, no two ways about it. Truly legendary stuff, and he has never came close to matching it. Not only in playing ability on the sticks, but the overall recorded sound.

I think Eddie sounded his absolute best on FW as far as tone and that fat, so-called "brown sound" but 1984 was in the same vein.

Ted was an absolute vital part of the package, too... Go listen to the "Zero" demos and compare them to VH1 for the proof.

Oh, I agree. But I also gotta say that I really like the sound on the ZERO demos. Hearing Ed's solos double-tracked is really very cool.

Oh, me too! It's raw and rockin' to the bone.

Have been spinning that in the ride the last week, in fact.

Ed's new guitar tone is terrible. Listening to his recent interviews, proves
that years of alcohol and substance abuse have distorted his sense of reality. DLR was right he isn't happy unless he is unhappy. Him and Landee made a great team in the studio. Follow the old motto- IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!!!

Why don't more members hear this, as well, Ultraman? I couldn't have said it better.

Same here! It's like another entire VH album. I've played it three times in the car this week!!

Templeman intimidating Ed? I doubt it. If you believe Al, Diver Down was Ted and Dave's record....and they all hated it. It's in big bold leatters on the back of all the records most of us love.

Creating benchmarks through the proper use of cheeseburgers and joints.....Viva la Templeman.

Absolutely!

Zero, VH, VHII, WACF, FW, DD, 1984... AND, with the exception of a few cheese whiz tracks and the full inclusion/thankful acceptance of a couple of new tracks- BOV1.

The six pack, with a couple of really cool riders, makes for eight to rock on!!
