Title: Warning! Warning! Massive ego on the loose!
Product review: I'll never forget the childhood ecstasy of playing "Runnin With the Devil," over and over and over again on my first stereo. Now I want to forget the agony of listening to this new Van Halen record. Eddie suffers from complete lack of control on every front: the solos are boring and repetetive, the songs are all too long, the "new" noises are not interesting (even annoying!), and for God sake, could no one put a stop to "How Many Say I?" I don't see Cherone as a problem--in fact, he's mixed so low I can't tell if it's really Sammy. Worse still, fans of all things Van Halen are hard pressed to find any signs of Michael Anthony's trademark vocal, which after all is the only reason we accepted Sammy so quickly. Next time, perhaps a producer who will make Ed sit down, shut up and play guitar. And even if so, I'll still want to hear it before I shell out one penny. If you haven't bought VH3, SAVE YOURSELF!!!
