At least Sammy still has a solo career/other projects and has constantly since he left VH. The same can't be said for DLR, who has basically been running a VH tribute act for 30 years.
I get the Satch issues, but Kenny is a fantastic drummer, and actually a better all round player than Alex in my opinion. His catalogue speaks for itself. For me these shows are all about Sam and Mike though and I'm there, all in for that. It's a fantastic night out.
