I recently re-read the chapters from Sammy's book that sucka posted some time back (thanks again, BTW) and the section where Sammy talked about "re-inventing" VH's sound is very interesting to me. I look at a band like U2 and how they constantly are changing their sound but yet, they are undeniably, U2.
Anyone else wish VH would have followed suit? Not saying selling out or anything but that the music would have continued to mature and evolve. Some hate the fact that EVH used a synthesizer for a time, I personally thought it was awesome. There is something appealing about an artist who is so good at what they do, that they aren't afraid to take risks. With that in mind, I can appreciate VH III a bit more than at first. The song "Once" is a great example. Some other songs that come to mind are:
Big Bad Bill
Feels so good
On the Outside
Seventh Seal (to some degree)
I have a double live cd from the Police that has a cool sound. Especially the drums and guitar. I'm just hopeful that VH will get it together with whatever singer that works best. Cause, for me, it's always been about Eddie, Mike, and Alex.
What say you?
