Personally, I was never a big VH fan. I was forced into learning some of their tunes by my instructor. I give the man credit for his abilities and what he has done for the guitar movement.....just was never a big fan. As for learning some of his tunes....man, I have improved in my playing that is for sure.
With that said, dwf got me into listening to some of their stuff much to his insistance (and possibly banning me for my blasphemy! ) and I have really warmed up to them. Better late than never I guess. I still practice my VH stuff daily and I continue to look into more and more tunes of theirs to play.....great stuff to learn.
But, their new songs are not to my liking. Just my opinion. I would say, they had better come up with some better tunes than those three. I think once the tour is over, the "real" writing will begin or have been done while on tour and a much better selection of tunes will be put out.....I certainly hope so. I think those were "feeler" songs to see if the magic was still there. Not only that, it lets the fans see that they are together and a new album is possible.
So, not being a big fan of theirs, I am intersted in hearing some new material. I do have a live recordiing of the first concert and it is pretty good. I can see why you all are excited about them. The energy was certainly there and I would go see them, as long as the reviews are better than the first couple. Not bad for someone who was not a fan whatsoever.....dwf would be proud!
