CF is out to have fun. Listen, in this era of music, we should be thankful that these guys are putting out real music being played on real instruments. Not everyone is going to like them, thats life, I doubt the guys in CF are losing sleep over the fact that not everyone is going to like them. So far I like it, I prefer Down the Drain. I dont get the whole comparison thing. Whoever said this is a VH replacement??? These guys are doing their own thing. I suppose when you have two guys in a band that were in VH togehter, sure there may be a VH vibe, just the same; chad is going to shine thru and you might here a littlt RHCP vibe, and certainly Satch is going to shine and we’ll here his vibe as well. Thats part of the band, each guy is going to bring in their own vibe, whats wrong with that? I don’t see why this has become a Dave ia better then Sammy thing. Let these guys do their thing, if you dont like it , that fine I’m not going to knock you for it. Thats the great thing about music there is so much of it out there, there is something for everyone

I couldn’t make it out…

Good point on the EVH boozing in ’04. It was a sad state some night.

Skutch, I hear ya…Ed was definitely boozing from ’78-’84…and beyond for that matter…but it appeared to be DEBILITATING in ’04. Sammy said some nights he didn’t recognize what song Ed was starting because they were unrecognizable. Some nights were better than others, but on the whole it was a real mess on the guitar.

It kind of reminded me of a recording of ME playing VH on the guitar…the songs were great, and while the musicianship occassionally impressed me, I heard a LOT of F&*%-ups that really made it a C+ effort at best.

Sammy and Mike were also the only ones who seemed to be interested in interacting with the crowd too…it was wierd…because Eddie has always been that smiling, lovable guy on stage.

dave is a clown and he knows it. Humans Being sucks. Ed’s drinking probably had little to do with it. Was he not drunk between ’78-’84?

The 2004 tour would have been a lot better if Eddie would have been sober, and you cant compare Hot for Teacher against Dreams, maybe Hot for Teacher and Humans Beings

, Dreams or I’ll wait. Dave looked like a clown with those stupid hats on and he really cant sing very well. Sammy always put on a great show.
