And Bob Vinyl gave me this CD for my birthday when it came out after I wasn’t going to buy it initially. I was glad he did. If I’d bought it, I would’ve been disappointed to certain latitudes, but it being a gift, I let it ring in my ear and grew to like it a good bit. Becker certainly had enormous shoes to fill; kind of makes you wonder if he’d be considered a guitar god had he not had to follow Vai.

I bought this the day it came out and I remember hoping that it was really good. I thought DLR’s previous record, SKYSCRAPER, was a little heavy on the keyboards but I liked it anyway. I though that this record was solid, not as good as EAT’EM AND SMILE but still good. The title track is pure Diamond Dave and it hooked me in. I’ll have to revisit this one.

I saw him on this tour, ironically Gary Cherone’s band EXTREME opened for them.

To hear Roth talk about his influences, you’d think this thing would sound timeless (like early VH), but it actually sounds very dated from a production standpoint.

My favorite parts on the record are from guitarist Steve Hunter. An ok album, nothing special…

I bought this the day it came out. I liked it well enough except the guitar seemed a little low in the mix and it didn’t break any new ground for the Diamond one. However I have not heard in over ten years and I only own it on cassette.

I remember borrowing this from Metal Mark when it came out and loving it, but I never bought it until recently. A year or so ago, I foudn a vinyl copy for a few dollars and picked it up. It was disappointing after all that time had passed. Jason Becker played well on the album, but I think Vai’s shoes were just too big for him to fill. Vai brings a lot more than just technical skill and that’s why he’s one of the few virtuoso guitarists that I really like.
