Love Eddie cause VH I absolutely kills in every sense. Tone and skill are over the top, and it holds up all these years later. I mean, the playing on that record just made everyone else sound stupid. Why do I hate? I think he's squandered his talent on playing some really bad material over the years, especially with Hagar. I would have really loved to hear an instrumental album from him at some point rather than VH III. What a waste. Laziness? Who knows. It was nice to catch some Youtube clips of the DLR and EVH reunion tour - sounded great, great vibe, and they pulled out some of the old tunes that still hold up. Wish they would do a real album together.
