However, Hendrix died at 27, when his fanbase was his age or younger. They could afford to wait decades to release that stuff. The majority of VH fan, including Twonabomber, can't wait a decade or for sure decades. For WB, Wolfgang or anyone else to wait 30 years to put out that material, would be criminal.

Just re-listened to this today. Struck by the fact that Edward recorded a version of HOT FOR TEACHER where he played the bass...and doubled the tapping intro.
Dave obviously took that idea with him when he did the EEAS record....had Vai & Sheehan do that little trick on SHY BOY. Just guessing that didn't sit well with our man EVH.Comment

Oof I just picked up a bass fully expecting to be able to play it but my left hand isn't big or strong enough.
Another interesting take on that song is the crazy picking version by Jason Becker that was on his demo tape that got him the gig.
I always wondered if he would have been allowed to do this live if he had been well enough to tour, I suspect not.Comment

A shame what happened to Becker because I think he and Dave could've made more music together which would've extended Dave's solo success.=V V=
