Eddie ain't the same player. I saw them tour BEFORE their first album, saw the 4th album tour (their peak), and now he's a sloppy parody of himself...like Jimmy Page trying to play his old stuff. Really sad. I saw DLR last summer and they did nothing but old Eddie stuff and some unknown guy did it note for note and then some. Great stuff.

It's always the same thing. A guy is a bad ass stud, gets married, and goes straight downhill. The day Tiger Woods announced his marriage I told everyone watch his game go straight to hell. Been right on the money so far.

Eddie needs to get divorced, get a bottle, get pissed off and find his cajones. Rock gods are meant to be mamby pamby daddies.

for a time I winced at the old music we loved growing up...but looking back I think it was the last golden age of "Average American guy music".
Eddies old guitar and DLR schreeching as you are doing 80 on a back road.....good times.

It was stuff dudes could play in the Camaro while cruising for chicks. Back when drinking a few beers and chasing girls was still acceptable behavior for young men.
Nowadays that'll get ya arrested, in treatment, or thrown into a consiousness raising class.

Everything became really "sissified" sometime in the 90's. While not a great fan, I think the grunge guys were the last gasp against the "non-threatening-pretty boy band"/teen tart mentality of modern pop rock.

I miss the days of loud @ss bands, loud cars, jean jackets, bad hair and the cheapest beer/women you could find. Oh, to be young again....
