I guess if you had something against "hair metal" in general, you wouldn't like Extreme. But listen carefully to the music and the message, and you'll find that they ain't no "hair metal" band. |
No I had a roomate back in my "single" years who owned that CD and I thought it was just bland, dull and boring... not at all very creative or good...
pretty much sucked!
Sorry.

I really like the first Van Halen record and I am pretty fond of 1984 as well.

| Van Halen is a talented band... |
     |
...without an anchor.
David Lee Roth wasn't the best singer or lyricist, but he was a showman.
Sammy Hagar wasn't a good lyricist either, and his drinkin' & druggin' attitude was tired, tired, tired, but he could sing the antennae off a cabo-wabo-cockroach.
But Gary Cherone... He just did not fit. Not at all. He's not a wild showman, he's not a particularly powerful singer. Good, yes but not earth-shakingly good. His lyrics weren't so swell either. In Extreme, he could play off of Nuno Bettencourt but in VH, he seemed exactly like the surrogate he was.

Very well said. Except that after,
| quote: |
"How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
Oh! How does it feel when it's love?
It's just something you feel together
(Oh oh oh oh) Oh, when it's love
(Oh oh oh oh) You can feel it, yeah!
(Oh oh oh oh) Nothin's missin', yeah!" |
I would say "...Hagar wasn't a good lyricist" is being charitable.

Apparently Gary was very energetic when he toured with Van Halen. So you can't say that he wasn't a good showman. I always come back to the fact that Gary sounded good with Extreme, but not with Van Halen. Nuno may be a contributing factor, but I don't think that's all. Van Halen III was simply terrible. No soaring harmonies, no melodic content, no real Van Halen riffs, no tightness within the band, overly elaborate 85-minute arrangements, etc. All the things that made Van Halen were not to be seen. They had the potential to do a great album, but they blew it.

In my opinion anyway.
