Damn straight. Highly underrated drummer. Did I tell you about the the time I got to hang with both Eddie and Alex for a couple of hours a few years ago? (again, memory fading)

The intro is the extent of my admiration for him. And you just did.

No but I'm sure it was killer.

I'm inclined to take you under my wing and educate you so that you can more accurately insult classic rock bands.

Know what's even more outrageous? Yngwie Malmsteen is note for playing on a scalloped neck. When really it was Ritchie Blackmore who played on a scalloped neck first - way, way before Malmsteen did. So why doesn't Blackmore get the credit? That's what I like to know.

Elph, elph......

Trying to use VU in an attempt to dissuade VH, not only makes you look bad, but also sully's both bands.
