As I said in an earlier music thread I am not a great fan and knew nothing about them in their hey day. The only song I was aware of was Jump, which didn't do anything for me. Of course it came from the end of their peak era and wasn't really representative, but I didn't know that at the time. However, being a sad collector who feels he has to have all the 'greats' I do have the box set of their first six albums.
Doubtless he was a great guitarist but too many twiddly bits and weak songs for my liking and the songs (and albums) all seem pretty short. Despite his virtuosity there are no prog epics as you'd expect from such a guitarist.
Having said that I do like David Lee Roth's voice and would have liked to have seen him perform in his hey day. There don't seem many decent clips of VH at their peak anywhere and certainly no dvds.
I do actually love the track D.O.A from the second album and the way DLR sings it.
