Yeah, it's cool that they let a buddy from another band come up and play, but I would've liked to have seen Reb Beach's take on EVH there instead.

It's videos like this one which make you appreciate the front man Dave is and excitement which Dave generates.

The problem with most of the 80's bands is just the low level of energy they bring. I know, they got old, but it still sucks. Most are just so pedestrian.

Man Kip Winger looks nothing like he used to, u barely can recognize him.

**BlindtotheWorld** · 02.11.19, 07:04 AM

I don't mind Kip's voice at all but boy does it not work for a VH cover.

Not even close.

Winger's "Pull Me Under" is a bulldozer.

I guess Rod Morgenstein needed the money back in the day. He played so much down from his capabilities while in that bad.

True. I've heard him play some jazz stuff. He is quite good.

...whelp, I might as well get the elephant right out of the room:

In spite of the SugarMetalPop vitriol that this song has garnered over the last 30 years, from 3:20 on, if you can't hear any of the elements similar to what our beloved EVH, little Stevie Vai, and Satchmo have brought to the table as household guitar gunslingers, then you're probably deaf.

I give you the almost-criminally-underrated Reb Beach...

Theres no doubt Beach is an amazing player.

Except when Dave was no longer in VH and became part of the hair band movement himself.

Was never a huge Winger fan, but they were certainly talented and "Headed for a Heartbreak" is a ridiculously well written song. There's some really cool unexpected key changes, and drum work. It's almost like a Dream Theater song with a better singer. The outro solo is some of Reb's finest work.

*I believe that Paul Taylor hooked up backstage with a girl I knew in HS when they rolled through town back in the late 80s...
