garyg7133 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I liked VT when it came out. Granted the production, as stated above is less than wonderful. To me, just being so happy that they came back was enough, but listening to the anger in the album was something else. I am in the middle of reading Ghost Rider, have read Roadshow and The Masked Rider. Reading Ghost Rider so far is not what I expected. I had been putting that one off thinking it'd be too depressing. I think on some level all of the older fans here feel some sort of connection to the band because we grew up with them. When this all happened, for me anyway it was a "whoah" moment because you think of this band as different from a lot of the bands out there. They're not party animals, they all have families so you figure there won't be the mayhem that follows a lot of bands. Lo and behold, here is this massive loss that is so unimaginable that it is a miracle that Neil even survived it much less carried on with the band.. I'm sure though after reading Ghost Rider I will listen to it differently than when I first heard it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and if I have to read an entire book to appreciate an album, that's much farther than I'm willing to go. I've read enough of Neil's blogs or snippets of blogs to know I have no interest in reading an entire book by him. If that makes me less of a fan, then so be it, but I care about this band for their music, not for the details of their personal lives. I agree with Goobs I actually like VT, I don't think it is a bad album. Conversely, I'm not a huge fan of the track "Ghost Rider" Go figure ..

jnoble Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I appreciate the emotion and passion that went into VTs and reading Neil's book emphasized that, but it's still largely a totally unlistenable album regardless. It's just too dense and loud and long to tolerate beyond ten minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
