The reason is simple, if you were in your late teens, early 20's from around 77 thru the
80's, and went to parties and wanted to Rock, VH was on the nights playlist. The
songs are fun, sex, drugs, rock'n roll, thats what they were about, and of course,
we ate it up. And no player has been ripped off/copied more that EVH. Think it was
all about massive dive bombs, two hand tapping, think again, check out "Spanish Fly"
"Ice Cream Man" and "Little Guitars" for some of the best acoustic work ever put
on tape. I'm convinced some form of VH will be out in 07, and trust me, there loyal
fans will be out in force. How often do you get to see a living legend
