Whether it's his outer glaze or cream-filled insides, King Ding Dong gets his subjects filthy!

Putting that out as a live album is one of the most puzzling decisions that band ever made.

Roth compliments Wolf's singing during "I'm the One." As far as I'm concerned, he paid TOO MUCH attention to The Kid.

The contrast between Ed's skills and Dave's is just incredible. It's like if Hendrix and Mama Fratelli started a band.

And the astounding thing is Dave seems to do it on purpose!
If only he sang in a lower register, he would sound 10x better. Most of the songs didnt even have that high cauterwaiing on the original recordings.

So much this. Dude totally blows out his voice trying to “improv” everything when he could have sang it like the record and had a much easier time. Not to mention his goofy carnival barker outfit and sliding around like he’s Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk. He makes the whole thing unlistenable.

The only live VH record I’d be interested in would be one sourced from the Fair Warning tour! They were at peak performance mode in those days!! 😁🔥
