Same here. It's nice to hear them again. I feel, if anything, they've gotten better. I like Gary's tone better now. Definitely very Sammy Hagar at times. Still himself of course.
Any idea who the guitarist is?

TEMPO TANTRUM: What a lead singer has when they can't stay in time.
They must be advertising the crap out of this. The Banshee song hit my Facebook feed yesterday. Loved it. Was a huge fan of Steve Vai during his days playing with David Lee Roth.
Eddie, I guess I needed to add a smilely face. My humor can be pretty subtle.
Nope. Didn't help. I had 3 in my first response and one in my last response.
But to clear things up...

I'm pretty sure C.C. DeVille didn't play in any of those bands. I believe he was the guitarist for Poison, Extreme, and Van Halen when their original guitarist left. **----->>

I got lost in the sarcastic who is the guitarist answers!!
Those were some of us joking around. Eddie is absolutely correct. I don't think your were asking; but in case you are, Nuno Bettencourt is the guitarist for the band extreme.
Hope that helps if things got confusing with all the joking.

I knew the Nuno part, I was just concerned about some of the other answers!!! I thought to myself, "they can't really be thinking this, can they?"
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
It was a joke I only get the chance to play once a year .. waddyu want from me??
