Does it really matter anymore? I was a huge VH fan until the Cherone debacle. Having seen Eddie and Al on places like MTV talking about their decision to replace Sammy--well--in hindsight, it seems pretty clear that Sammy's story is more truthful. They capitalized with a song on a movie soundtrack, cashed in on a Greatest Hits package and then tried to out-Kiss Kiss with a greatest hits tour replete with BOTH singers. Sammy should be saluted for balking at yet another get rich quick scheme. Don't these guys have enough money?
Anyway, it seems just as apparent that Eddie is a real jackass to work for. I thought so when Dave was let go, and know so now. They've basically killed any allegiance true fans had for them. Yeah, the guy has an awesome talent and the group goes down as one of rock's greatest but really, who cares anymore. Just like my favorite band Boston, one gets tired of hearing the continued excuses and stories and begins to believe that the guy in charge has a few mental problems.
