I enjoyed this @Ithaka

that isn't a VH record
f*** you!! for even mentioning that and reminding me

there's a good ass theory that VH3 wasn't even produced by Mike Post and he left after a few weeks and eddie made everything himself

CRINE

damn i broke the thread

idk why Gary Cherone kept trying to sing and sound like sammy... the range wasn't there and on top of that it made him seem unoriginal/poser type

the song structure makes no sense

the lyrics..... the f***ing lyrics

ughghh

Few would argue (including the musicians involved) that 1998's Van Halen III, the only album by the band to feature Extreme's singer Gary Cherone, was anything but an unmitigated artistic and commercial disaster. The arrangements are directionless, the music plodding and almost contrarian in its lack of discernable structure or melody, and Cherone, who has always acquitted himself well in other musical contexts, sounds frightened and frantic throughout. Given the lack of aesthetic judgment exercised by all involved, it's par for the course that "That's Why I Love You," which would have been the one really solid tune on the album, was not included. The sound on this demo is not the best, but it gives a glimpse into a parallel universe where Van Cherone showed some promise.

wasn't even Cherone's complete fault

the album was just directionless and caught even more heat just off the fact they titled it VH3

Was just about to say the fact they called it VH3

this is also pretty cool

VH3 and then a couple years later metallica drop st anger which is just as bad if not worse

that 97-2004 period

St anger

Rock was doomed
