S t e v e Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 i just listened to the new VH album and was so glad the DLR was back on board...gutted, i was expecting so much more from eddie (and before you say he's been there done that and has nothing to prove) BULLCRAP!...i read on here how malmsteen and vai are stuck in the 80's, listen to eddies playing! sounds like an 80's kid in a guitar store just learning to play, maybe the drugs have done him in or he just can't be bothered and just needs some cash? i tell ya now, there are players about now that maybe looked up to eddie back in the day that would play him off the stage right now...he's finished.

duane v Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I too sound pretty much the same way I did back in the early 80's, but I was better then. I'm not one to judge, because I'm nowhere near what Eddie has accomplished, and neither are you..... I'm enjoying VH's recent work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 and neither are you very true, but i'm not the famous one who changed guitar and what you could do with it, in the 80's...or who's current abilty is under question (by me), respect for who he is and what he done but now?...he's lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Duane...you and everyone else judge when you decide to pull out the wallet or not. I did not pull out the wallet for this album. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Certainly you're entitled to your opinion However having my listening choices, I certainly would choose Eddies worst guitar work over yours and my best work any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 However having my listening choices, I certainly would choose Eddies worst guitar work over yours and my best work. That cuts deep duane!! ;) Honestly, i'd listen to a LOT of other players before I listen to EVH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I knew EVH was done when I bought Van Halen III. Nothing he has done since then has convinced me otherwise. I had hoped the new stuff might be a pleasant surprise. Well, at least I wasn't disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take RR, EVH and the Beatles over most.... Those are the guys that move me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded good at the Cafe Wha? gig but haven't heard the album yet. I'm just glad Dave's back and there is no synth (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 What, Eddie should be "someone else?" Clapton isn't what he was, in the 60's either! But, in some (a lot of) ways, he's much better! Besides, Everyone's a GD "critic!" Mostly, people who haven't done Shite! You like him/her/them, or don't...no big deal. Are "Classical" players, "stuck" in the century that the composer wrote in? I guess you could say so, in some ways. But, so what?! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, to a point, Shred...but, it's only one album, and who says he hasn't grown, or evolved? We don't know that! We don't know, what he's quite capable of, based on any one album, or song, or lead guitar break. Maybe it IS a "knock off," effort...for just his/their own amusement? You don't have to buy it! That alone, will send all the critique, that's needed...IMHO, as always. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well its clear you are ok with (and even like) listening to the same album over and over again by a different name. :) P.S. You're wasting your money. :) And thats ok...like you said, people listen to music differently. You guys just listen to it wrong. :) hehehehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you on the whole buying it thing which I have already addressed. This album will not be joining my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
