Anyone seen the “Hired Guns” documentary that was mentioned in the interview?

I have and its really good. Definitely worth checking out.

I'd bet Dave cant even hear himself at times up there, much like Ed cant hear that his tone is more abrasive than in years past.

Don’t really consider myself a Sam guy or a Dave guy.

Unfortunately, too often, Dave sounds like hammered dog shit singing live (or sometimes a screeching cat fight). Have no idea if it’s him just not trying or he’s lost his ability. Don’t really see how it makes a difference one way or the other. It’s one of a few reasons I won’t pay to see them live anymore.

Like this clip, would really love to hear the entire record.

Like just about any singer as he ages, Dave can't sing those songs in the keys they were originally written in, especially because Rock singers usually sing at the top of their range on a recording. They need to bring those songs down a step to a step and a half for Dave to be able to come close to singing them like they were recorded. The problem there is Eddie would have to learn them in a completely different way or tune down so low his guitar would be unplayable. But given that, I wouldn't go see them live again either. The only exception would be if Mike was in the band, then I might go for nostalgias sake.

On that John5 video Dave is singing in a comfortable range. I do remember when Dave left the band and then the brothers were ragging on Dave's singing and the fact that Eddie had to tune down a half step for Dave, Ritchie Blackmore was asked about it all and he said something like, that's stupid, you play the song in a key that is comfortable for the singer.

LOL.
I think this will see the light of day before any VH stuff will.

If Dave wasn't in the band he woulda released it already. Ed on the other hand has no intention of releasing anything. Now or when VH is over.

Thus, yeah, that says it all.
