    I saw them live, in early March of '78, VH opened for Journey on the Evolution tour (it was opener VH, then Ronnie Montrose, then Journey).

    Great show. This was right before Running with the Devil was released nationally.

    I think MA is a very good bass player.


    BTW, I read in the paper recently that Ed and Valerie split after 24 years of marriage.

    +1! Very underrated; listen to his work on Diver Down (loved his bass sound for that album!).

    Eddie is why I play guitar. He is why I own a Music Man. He is my hero - even if he falls/fails.

    Is it just me, or when DLR sang about sex, it was in a 'naughty immature junior high locker room jokes' sort of way WHEREAS when Sammy sang about sex, it was 'that weird creepy old guy at the mall wearing the trench coat that mamma warned you not to go near' sorta way?

    One guy made the subject devilish frat-boy fun, the other just made it disturbing.

    As a big fan of VH and Extreme, the VH3 album disappointed me on many levels. I may have to go back and revisit it, however, judging from the positive comments on here.

    Just my 2 cents.

    horrible sound

    i saw them years ago with d.l.r. man they sounded like ****. it was an insult. it's like they did not even give a damn. i'm a big old school v.h. fan but that pissed me off. eddie need's to get back to his root's, and remember to have fun again, that's when he rocks.just my opinion.

    At least we have recordings of old Van Halen. Kinda sucks that a couple guys can't get over their egos long enough to get paid millions to play rock and roll to thousands of adoring fans willing to pay $75 per ticket to see them.

    Ed's the one who got me to discover EBMM as well. I just had enough money saved up to buy a EVH guitar when he and EBMM split in 95/96, so I bought a first year Axis and still have it. I get too caught up in the band and what Ed's doing but I do owe it to him for introducing me to EBMM.

    My goal like many others is to own at least one of each. After scouring the catalogs/internet there is no other brand that I'd rather own.
