Yawn. First tune sounds like something Frank Marino would’ve written while in a stupor and thrown out after he sobered up. 2nd one has a Sammy Hagar-like vocal and is dragged out for no apparent reason. Didn’t bother with the 3rd. Someone needs to tell the average modern rock guitarist that tapping for the most part (unless done by EVH) sounds like crap in a club or a large arena (not that these guys will need to worry about that.) I saw David Lee Roth with Steve Vai and Sheehan in a large auditorium. Worse sound I’ve ever heard. Couldn’t even tell what the song was halfway through. These guys will move on within a year.
Holp crap does this ever suck. I’d rather watch Jack Russell’s GW5 than this. Interesting that Portnoy is rocking the smaller drum kit. Probably couldn’t afford to ship everything to Rio.
Sounds like the crowd is having a good time to me. that is the best test.
Right on Jim. This album is barely a month old and these people are singing the lyrics at the top of their lungs and having a great time. You can’t argue with that. DR says this sucks. There’s no accounting for taste but how anybody can say this sucks is beyond me.
Yes, all 45 of them seem very happy.
This band sounds great, Billy is shredding as always and Richie sounds great. I would loved to see them live sometime.
No doubting Billy Sheehan’s talent, but certainly doubts over his chosen cult.
Back in the day I can vividly recall when bands and their management frowned upon people taking their cameras into concerts, in fact their distaste for such practices bordered on paranoia fans were searched for any kind of camera. Now we have bands actually using fan filmed footage for promotional purposes, but the music industry complains all the time about the loss of revenue due to illegal downloads and such.
It’s pretty hard to feel sympathy for the industry when on one hand they seem to endorse certain ‘practices’ and then come down heavy with the other hand regarding others.
