Mike sounds great on the CF album. In fact, I found his playing with CF to be even more interesting than some of his stuff with VH.

Not to mention the backing vocals are back.

To me, the three tracks that sound like his playing are Fire In The Hole, Dirty Water Dog, and I'm guessing Josephina.

Not a rip on Ed the genius guitar player....but certainly not a very good bass player.

Like Fuddman says, that's the biggest sign of a guitar player playing bass, they just follow the guitar lines, a good bass player does not.

I read an old interview with Mike and he was asked about Eddie's bass playing (probably after Ed played bass on Sammy's 1987 solo record). Mike responded Ed can "pick up a bass and blow away alot of players" but Ed "needs to learn how to hold down the bottom end".
