I actually like the first song on the Cherone album quite a bit. There might be one other one. I still think EVH is probably the greatest rock guitarist ever. And the fact that he plays fast/started the whole tapping thing is probably at the bottom of the list as to why I think that. The riffs he writes are just stunning. He has such a unique feel and style, and without fail every time I hear a new VH record I hear something that makes me go "holy shit", guitar-wise.

Here's a theory. Even if DLR had stayed in the band, they'd still have ended up sounding less like good early VH and more like mostly not so good later AOR VH. They were already headed in that direction on 1984.

Funny that you call that song out. I don't think it falls into the category of AOR Ballad. Now, "Love Walks In" from the same album, that's a cheesy ballad. But I think "Why Can't This Be Love" is a great pop-rock song. And that guitar riff is a great, unintentional (I assume) Devo rip. Try listening to it back-to-back with 'Girl U Want".

DLR is "on fiyaaaahhhh" on the new one...erudite wit and humor in full play.
