Dave is an entertainer and either you like him or you don't. But to say he "sucks" is patently absurd.

You can't say it any better. Dave's one of my main musical influences as a front man, not that I tried to be "like" him, but that it's all about the show and entertainment. Sammy was good, Dave was GREAT.
