Exactly, VH 3 doesn't show growth, all it shows is that a once great band, with a guitar player with an ego bigger than the Pacific Ocean, can put out a terrible album, and pass it off as "maturing" to some fans. Experimental? Please. I don't think people really know what experimental in rock music is if they think VH 3 is. If that album is considered a "growth" for Van Halen, they should have it...

I'm truly surprised that among the tunes people have suggested dropping, no one has mentioned "Big Fat Money". To me it sounds like an uninspired three chord yawn, the type of throwaway tune used to fill time on an album the same way a cover tune is used to pad out a stage show. Replace it with a completed version of "Crossing Over", get rid of the dumb sound effects nonsense, tweak the running order...

Mike played bass pedals like Geddy from Rush on the keyboard part for Cradle. I remember an old issue of Musician magazine mentioning this in an interview with Ed when he was telling the interviewer what the sound was at the begining of Cradle,how it was a Wurlitzer and a MXR Flanger, and how they would...

VERY COOL PICTURES!!! Was/Is Mike a very good keyboardist/pianist? Or was it more of a case of just learning a specific part for a specific song?

As long as we're beating Amsterdam to death we may as well add this dude Kent to the mix. Sure as hell can't nail it better than this:

Hell, Dave kind of talk sings through a lot of the songs on album, so I guess the answer is yes he does! I think it is one of the better boots of Dave, and Vai is still there though Sheehan is gone. The set list is not as good as EEAS tour. I never liked Gigolo...

Hey Stuff, don't forget to tie a red bandana around your neck.
