Damn

Who cares about Greensboro? Does anyone even know what state Greensboro is in? Are they even in America??

A recent grad of a public school system I presume? Perhaps a former student of Jay Bennish?

Here’s a YouTube of VH performing ‘Jump’ in Toronto on 7 Oct. It may have been more in tune when they play it the way they intended, but it still doesn’t sound pretty painful.

So, use the video at the link above for comparison purposes.

I believe it’s in NC.

Eddie tried. I was on a flight with he and Val (sigh) and a very young Wolfie once (all in coach!) and he couldn’t have been nicer. Unfortunately, DLR proves that it is possible to be a rock star and a lounge act at the same time.

How long before we see acts like VH, Ratt, Poison, White Lion, Winger, etc turn up on PBS pledge specials, probably hosted by Martha Quinn or something?

The Final Countdown. Now there’s a song to get suck in yer head!

Why you….!!! :) I just had to read it and now it’s stuck in my head.

I saw that bluegrass version and crikey, it wasn’t very good. Having watched too many VH1 shows on 80’s bands that reunite for one night, I have to say that many of the singers have lost their voices, due to getting older? No idea, but I will now bravely, or stupidly, go watch this video.

Eddie’s off! He’s tuned flat, and he doesn’t hear it?

Nah, the pre-recorded keyboard playback was way sharp, which made Eddie’s guitar sound way flat.

however it seems like DLR compensated adequately, but EVH had a tin ear and could not improvise correctl to the higher pitch.

Right, Dave did a decent job of singing up to the pitch of the keys. I’m guessing Eddie’s in-ear monitor crapped out (I didn’t notice any monitors onstage so I’m assuming they’re using in-ears), so if he couldn’t hear the keyboard track all he had was his wall of guitar amps behind him, which could explain why he didn’t try to transpose up to the keyboards on the fly. I would bet he’s a proficient enough ear player to do that, unless he was just completely trashed.

I wonder how Wolfgang handled that, couldn’t hear the bass at all.

Either way, what a freaking train wreck.

Hire a keyboard player guys, and fire the idiot sound guy that f’ed up.

Sammy is 10 times better than Dave at this stage in their careers. Mr.Ego Dave can go Jump (in a lake). I’m going to see Sammy again instead.

I hope that you and the four other people that will be there have a good time.
