My issue with Billy is that on one hand is talking about how he struggled all those years and then all of a sudden he is playing packed arenas with Dave and how great it was. Then on the very next album he doesn't agree with the direction, still plays on the record, and then splits? How about some loyalty Billy? So because he didn't agree with the direction he goes and forms Mr. Big to do what? Play sub par hard rock music in the style of the late 80's hair band craze. Wow. You really showed everyone Bill. Mr. Big opened for Rush for a while in 1990. I can't imagine any Rush fans giving 2 shits about them. Then they opened for the Scorpions for a while on triple bills beside the likes of White Lion, Aldo Nova and Great White. Thus, i ask did Billy win or lose?Leave a comment:

The best way to solve it is to take 3 blank c.d.s and make a your own best of from all his albums. Worked for me !Leave a comment:

I sound like I could be in the minority here , I like alae.
Maybe when the mood takes me second only to eas in the solo stuff .
I think it's less patchy than skyscraper .
I listened to skyscraper recently in the car in its entirety and alae beats it , its just got better songs.
This is only my opinion because it didnt do great shakes in sales over here if I remember right .Leave a comment:

As for Yflm , it's definitely the least of the solo stuff and I remember the uk tour and at the time thinking , the venue was changed at the last minute to a smaller venue and for the first time I was like maybe this is me but Dave ain't in to this ....
A couple of friends I went with were a bit the same I think Dave knew perhaps his star was on the wane as a solo artist.
Popularity and sales wise any way .Leave a comment:

I will say this. If i was putting my own greatest hits together of DLR solo, there would be more on it off of YFLM than Skyscraper.Leave a comment:

You are all M-Fers. Everyone has a different opinion. Everyone likes different tracks off of different albums. BTW, 40 below is awesome. As well as Drop in the bucket and Its Showtime.
IMO, YFLM is the only weak spot to the entire DLR catalog. Mostly because of the production and the attitude of the performances. The songs are not bad. F that Nile Rodges dude.Leave a comment:

If I'm being honest I would say that ALAE isn't necessarily an album that stands out as among my favorites of Dave post-VH in terms of start-to-finish.Leave a comment:

Some of those shows were almost certainly filmed for posterity.
Not sure if Dave has a beef with WB that would prevent them from seeing the light of day, but if so - I would be on board with VH doing a Wha? one-off show of only ADKOT tunes and maybe a few non-WB covers - yes, that would mean a live VH show with no Jump... gasp! - if that's what it took to get an official live VH release. Dave would have to sing better than he did on the Downtown Sessions, though.Leave a comment:
