Re: Band lineups you wish would have gone on for longer

I saw that lineup of Whitesnake live at Day On The Green 1987 and they kicked ass! I was very impressed! An album with them recorded after that tour also would have been killer! All you would get would be SOTT with two generic metal guitarists instead of Vai. Campbell was out of Trev Fleming riffs ...

1988 Monsters of Rock-Castle Donington. Still in great shape, what a day /night/ morning that was. Met Lars, Lemmy, most of Maiden after the show... I had that one too.

Udo's solo band did one too, I refuse to subject my hearing to it because I know it'll suck.
Is there any hard rock or metal band that did a good album with a symphony? Metallica and Kiss don't seem that bad but not great either. And Leppard and Scorps blow.

800k Indonesian Rupiahs would be my guess. A cool $50, just buy it. The postage may be another 50 bucks though.
