    I saw them twice in October, and it was well worth the ticket price both times.
    Who gives a crap about EVH's ego or DLR's ego when they're on stage setting the building on fire. Eddie is in great form, and Dave is sounding better than he has in years.
    Sounds good, you're right, people should get real and realise that most rock stars are up their own arses, just some more than others, what does it matter when they come up with the goods like VH do..? Send 'em over here man.

    Hopefully they'll head across the pond in the summer. I imagine there should be enough demand in Europe. They're selling quite well in the States.

    It would be a very rare treat, I think they supported Black Sabbath last time they toured the UK (Ozzy was still there!) about 79 I think. Then they did Monsters of Rock in 1984, I'm pretty sure that was the last time they played here with Roth, they ain't done a whole lot here at all, but they are popular.

    Producer Mike Post said Eddie played the drums on VH3 which is not a claim I remember hearing before.

    Never heard that before either.
    Makes a little sense if Al was f'ed up at the time.
    I have heard plenty of stories about Ed playing bass parts and having to essentially teach MA how to play the songs he wrote, but never anything about drums before.
    Wonder if Al will make mention of it in his book.

    Teaching Mike how to play the bass is nonsense. Now Ed played bass on all but three tracks on that album so he might have showed Mike what he played but that’s about it. Ed was very mean to Mike after they kicked him out all because he was butt hurt that instead of sitting around doing nothing he decided to jam with Sammy.
