Ed looks like an insane Bond villain and Gary the henchman that always pops up for one last surprise battle after the villain is defeated by using his one weakness against him. In this instance metal guitar picks.

Ooof is right… Gary has to keep leading Ed to answer questions while Ed’s rewatching The NeverEnding Story on a loop in his own head.

It's interesting, as much as Gary really tried to pump in his own energy into the performance, it seemed as though Ed really had to be The Guy and take on the role of frontman. He was really the only person the audience's eyes were focused on now.

Nailed it. I listened to the Balance world premier radio special recently and he does it on that as well. Totally takes over.Neil Diamond Dave wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 8:18 am It's interesting, as much as Gary really tried to pump in his own energy into the performance, it seemed as though Ed really had to be The Guy and take on the role of frontman.
The more control Ed took over VH the more it sucked.
The best VH ever was was right at the start when he just did the guitar and Dave ran everything else.

I like how during Panama Gary screamed “I’m coming to get you, boy!” What the fuck.
Ed looks like Bart, Otto and Moe from the Simpsons all at once.

Superb find . This is my favorite era of VH
Ed was on fire. Wish they could have put out a second record
Unfortunately the only pro shot from this era is the Sydney show .

And Germany but I don’t remember how many songs that was.

Ha, definitely. It's sorta like how I think the Born Again Black Sabbath lineup is one of the most interesting of all the Black Sabbath eras - How many peeps will say Ian Gillan over Dio and Ozzy?
Maybe me, only on Sludge.

What a huge vacuum on stage without DLR. Cherone's vocals are fine, but as far as stage presence goes it looks like they pulled somebody up out of the audience.

Ed completely drunk off his ass is such an insanely great player. He’s fucking ripping here.

Gary can sing, but listening to When it's Love... his voice has like 1/1000th of the personality of Hagar, which itself didn't have as much personality as Roth.
Gary sounds like an AI singer on a computer generated VH cover.

Re: Vh3 three songs proshot and interview
He’s really harsh as a singer with VH, something that’s doesn’t come across so much in Extreme. Maybe he was trying too hard or something? It barely sounds like Gary on the album, the rumor was they fucked with it to make him sound more like Sammy. Doesn’t really sound like Sammy either it just sounds shit.

Re: Vh3 three songs proshot and interview
They just picked the wrong keys for him to sing. Gary can't get up there where Sammy could, and even Sammy couldn't consistently hit the "Dreams" notes, which is why why almost never played one of their biggest songs from his era. The Gary songs needed to be tuned down a little or re-done at standard tuning but in the proper keys so they'd work with his voice. His singing sounded way too harsh on this album and was unpleasant to listen to on many of the songs.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 5:47 pm He’s really harsh as a singer with VH, something that’s doesn’t come across so much in Extreme.

WTF was that move at 2 minutes into the video? I love Gary as the singer of Extreme, but he is a weird dude.
