Does this make you cringe?

Yngwie has some good and very original material...

But can he write a hit song? One that appeals to a large audience? I think his biggest "hit" was you don't remember, Ill never forget? That was a long time ago man.

[ELVIS]

Why does when he did it matter ??

He has? I must have missed it.

[Von Halen]

No, he can't.

I'll take a guy that can compose a true song on a guitar, over these supposedly superior "technical" guitarists, any day of the week.

The only thing that sucks more than Malmsteen's songwriting, is his attitude.

[Etienne]

Kinda like Vai and Malmsteen.

I disagree. Both are capable to write songs beyond the label shred. At least Steve Vai. Listen to his composition Tender Surrender:

[ZahZoo]

Malmsteen sucks donkey dicks... nuff said... fuckin wanker!!

[Seshmeister]

The bass player for the Punks used to post here a while back....

Did he not delete 3 years of Roth Army posts in a pissy fit when he had the keys to the server or am I getting that mixed up?

You are correct. I spent hours on the phone with that fucker trying to get him to cooperate. I made every offer in the book to that dude.

Where's the singer? If he had to sit down and write that song for a singer, he'd have never gotten it done. Not like it turned out. Vai is a solo artist. A technician. He does that well. Better than most. But throw more than a backing band with a singer in the mix, and he's fucked. Try to add CHEMISTRY into that mix, and he is really fucked. 80% of his stuff with Dave was shit. I hate it. It has not stood the test of time either.

Should Van Halen ever decide to Van Halenize any of the Roth solo stuff, it will be greatly improved.

When Dave started rapping about it being ladies night in Buffalo at the Buffalo show, I really had hopes they were going to break into it. I would have loved to have heard them do that song, and I think that song is probably one of Vai's better efforts with Dave. They sound like a true band on that song. Just my opinion.

[Jagermeister]

This makes me laugh everytime I watch it.

I think the prominent VH cover band in New Jersey is, or was Fair Warning. Singer sounded just like Dave, but he looked like Lou Costello in a Dave wig. Not something I'd ever want to see again.

I saw a VH tribute band called Eruption or something like that and the Dave guy says to the audience,
"You guys remember Alex VH right" and he points to the drummer who was about 275 pounds and had a mullet! and "Michael Anthony" was Cuban! Total dorks!

[Seshmeister]

I boycotted his band, and from what I hear it is very much his band, since then. What sort of a prick deletes hundreds of thousands of posts from thousands of fans of the band he's making his money from?

He nearly ended this site permanently and I don't care if it was 10 years ago and I'm the lone nut at the back of the bar shouting fuck him, I'll continue be that guy.

He's the reason we can't go back and look at the thread where Panamark became Mr RothArmy or my comic strip or you dishing out abuse as 'Big Pussy' and I can't forgive that...

Plus how much did it cost us in hosting fees for DDLR until this place could be brought back?

There's one out there with Jump thats pretty funny too. I'll look for it later.

I have more time for him than you do but I didn't like what he did to CVH stuff (although Roth has to take some blame for the keyboards).

I thought he wrote a few decent songs with that Townsend guy...

Like Seshmeister mentioned, what about Vai's album Sex & Religion with singer Devin Townsend. Do you also miss the chemistry factor there?
