Ditto that! I don;t remember who said it, but if anybody left off at "Some Kind of Monster", that was 10+ yrs ago! Go find Death Magnetic at the used CD store. It's in my CD player as I type this!
As for poor old EVH and DLR, it's Sad But True (ha,ha) they are washed up. That song is the worst pile of steaming crap I have ever heard. Too bad, too. Other bands like Styx, Journey, and especially my fav, Iron Maiden, all continue to tour, some in more original form and others less, but the MUSIC stays true to the band and the band to the music. And mostly give the fans what they want! I have seen Styx 47-teen times since 1998. And without Dennis DeYoung, they are actually a better band (no Babe or Roboto in concert anymore, ya!) Journey has had a few singers and the new guy, Arnel is an incredible singer in his own right, not to mention he sounds just like Steve Perry. And Iron Maiden, there is no comparison. They are better than ever. I saw them in Tampa last year and I'm still coming down from the show.
As for VH, they will be here in Atl on April 19th, my son's 12th birthday. I planned to take him and just bust for the cheap seats. But yesterday I won 3rd row tickets on the radio! I can't wait. The tickets are $170 for the front floor!!!! Jeez, who really wants to pay that much to see old wrinkled dorks? HAHAHA!
One more thing, not to dredge up the old Sammy vs. Dave debate, but Sammy took VH to highs they would NEVER have reached with Dave and never will again!
