Ok...i wanted to check in with this thread again. I caught a little flak for saying that Dave sucked, so i wanted to expand a little on that.
First, let me say that i always have been a huge VH fan. Back in the day, the walls of my room were covered with posters and many of those were VH posters. Have seen them live with both Dave and Sam and thoroughly enjoyed both renditions. That being said...for me...VH was never about the singer regardless of who it was...it was all about Ed and what he did/does with the guitar.
In thinking about this thread i went back and listened to both of the Dave solo albums in my collection.... Skyscraper and A Little Aint Enough. I hadn't listened to them in a while and i still enjoyed them both. I also went back and listened to the Dave era VH albums i have...no complaints there either...Dave is fine.
My complaint was simply with the current state of Dave and that he flat out doesn't sound very good. I know some of you disagree with that, but after watching the Ellen clip again...i still stick with my original post that Dave sucks.
However, yesterday i was driving listening to HairNation on XM radio and they were talking about this very same subject. I am not a Twitter person, but apparently (according to HairNation) the reaction there was very similar to my opinion. Anyway, as Luc Carl was discussing it...he said something like..."ya, he can't really do it anymore, but he was great so we should all give him a pass". So...guess i'll go with Luc Carl.
