I heard about this a day or two ago on the radio. Could they do worse than Cherone?

From an interview I saw with Hagar after he initially left, he said something to the effect of while the band had good musical ideas, nobody could write a complete song. Would a new lead singer fix this? Is Eddie anywhere near the guitarist he once was?

you know, with all the trouble they have been through, Balance sure was one hell of an album IMHO. i wish they'd just keep cranking out the hits with Sammy. oh well.

saw them live a few years back on the Balance tour and it rocked.

never watched this Rock Star show btw.

F'in Hagar. That guy is such a tool. They should go back to DLR, even though he's kinda psycho. At least they rocked with him. Eddie just needs to suck up whatever his deal with DLR is and get with the program.

Eddie and Sammy need to work it out. VH w/ Sammy > VH w/ Dave

VH w/pre 1984 Dave > VH w/Sammy >>>>>>>>>> VH w/current Dave.

Dave looks like crap nowadays and I would say his singing is worse, but that would imply that he can still sing.

5150 as a whole is better than any other VH album as a whole. They had some great stuff but only a few songs off each early album was good. Sammy contributed more to VH than Dave did.

Eddie's the reason keyboards were introduced. Eddie sissified VH more than Dave or Sammy.
