Im the biggest VH fan on earth, saw them 6 times, met Ed and Alex, was at the 82 Philly Spectrum show when Ed played with a cast on his thumb, AIC opening in 91, Osh Kosh 2013 when he bled on the neck during Eruption, and have said for 25 years....they shouldve gone out as a 3 piece once Sammy left and performed extended instrumentals and let Mikey sing a handful. Imagine Jam Band Halen!!

I’d have to go with women and children first, just because it’s so different, super creative. I remember it Eddie was saying he felt it was the most unique album

[@jhisick9339]

I believe both eras of the band truly hit their stride on their respective third albums.

ZZ Top is not complicated at all. Critics are obviously not musicians 3:40

Ordered my book this morning using your VH store link. Interesting interview to say the least. As the dialogue went on, I became more and more surprised that Martin wanted to write this book. The mixed (at best) reviews of the records, musicianship, and odd comparisons (The Who?) was unique to put it nicely. I almost sensed a theme that reminded me of a band that was popular on college radio when I was in high school, REM. So many of my friends liked the band up until the point that they hit the radio and mainstream. Then they would say they only liked the old stuff. The author is for sure a "deep cut" guy. Looking forward to more videos. I am a new subscriber.

Thank you Evan! Martin is definitely honest in his opinions on all of the bands he writes about, which I respect since he knows not everyone will agree. I appreciate your honesty as well. Very respectful. Hope you enjoy the other videos!
