I've always enjoyed the "Roth era" records the best, I just think DLR is the ultimate frontman, and possibly, IMHO, the greatest frontman of all. Everyone wanted to be him/like him. The whole band was great, I especially like the discs:
Fair Warning
1984
Women and Children First
VHII
VHI
Think that, at the time, there was probably no other band that could touch them. I've seen them 3 times(all w/DLR), and they were ****ing awesome. Dave does a 30 minute sword/knife/karate thing for the 1984 show, amazing.
Great thread, VH is one of my all time favorites. I wish they'd finally release that long awaited(and WELL OVERDUE) box set they've been talking about for years, I'd be in line for that.
I hear they're in the studio as we speak working on new material? I've also heard it sounds ALOT like the old stuff? if that's true, i cannot wait for it's release.
