I can’t believe that that it now looks like

OLA is now under threat ! :-(

 

I personally prefer VH when they kick ass

as I think their importance as the act that , with their

first 2 albums , which were released (as we all know )

in the late 70s , in effect dragged Hard Rock into the 80s.

 

Without no VH & VH II you wouldn’t have had ...

Ratt, Motley Crue , Tesla, White Lion , Bon Jovi , Europe,

Extreme , Mr.Big etc

( the list is endless )

Plus acts which were around before VH such as

Whitesnake , The Scorpions and Ozzy’s on his solo LPs

adapted & modernised

their sound to a more VH influenced blue print.

OLA has been under fire since at least the third round, it just keeps getting the immunity votes to be saved. Personally I think it’s the second weakest song on the album. Bottoms Up and DOA for the win!

Wow - 1st time in a long time the last 4 matches with my favourites. Surprised OLA has lasted this long because I thought it was a deep cut that only I loved.

A diverse album, considering the consistency in rockin tune on VH1, imo.

Love it all but always thought DOA, LUTS and Somebody get me a doc were flawed gems but with the Doc being a particular fave of mine. Well it does have one of Eddie's best solos and riffs doesn't it?

i.e. I can see why they all might divide opinion.

Played the Doc to a Maiden/Pantera fan at work who hadn't dabbled in VH who just said 'Great riff but naff singing'. Who cares when the playing that's good!

 

Have tried learning to play Spanish Fly on the classical but the tappin's not the hardest bit, it's all the rest of it!
