Eddie lived hard, surprised he made it this long. One of the best.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:Yeah it was probably that.
Not the 50 years of smoking.
Eddie was unequaled when playing guitar but he wasn’t famous for his medical advice.
...and drinking.

I was at that show. Was pretty good, I remember I'll Wait, which was dead on and sounded great.
Quoted from VanishingVision:The first four records are all excellent, but Women and Children First is my favorite. Especially Romeo Delight, burning hot speed metal that was way ahead of its' time.
RIP Eddie, cancer is wretched.
The only one that was a step down was Diver Down.
1984 is a perfect record, front to back.
Quoted from VanishingVision:I like the A side of Diver Down. Secrets is my favorite "mellow" VH song and excellent driving music.
The goofy stuff on the B side isn't exactly bad, but yeah, it's certainly not what I buy a rock/metal album for.
I just listned to Roth's Eat 'em and Smile, and it's easy to see who put that material in DD. Some tracks on Smile are actually pretty good (Going Crazy, Tobacco Road), but not a lot of VH music on there.
