Yes, listening to this I can see why Geordie likes them (but man, do I hate
these vocals--both the melody and the actual singing).

He's not the only guitarist to like EVH. Guitar Techniques magazine did big
features on both John Frusciante and Dave Navarro only a couple of issues
apart, and the results were surprisingly similar: both of them love Jimmy
Page and British post-punk bands, including the Cure, Joy Division?and
Killing Joke, while JF also mentioned Siouxsie and DN mentioned Cocteau
Twins & Bauhaus. Aside from those, they both love the first 4 VH albums.
?
Off the path a bit there, but what the hell.
Jim.

Maybe we should have a "guilty pleasures" thread.
My two cents: Houston had a great voice, but how she chose to use it left
a lot to be desired.
Same with Van Halen as instrumentalists.

Aihe: Re: [kj] OT OT - HOUSTON DEAD
So could Keith Richards, and he's 20 years older than Whitney. I'm not sure
how he made it, mind you, and woe betide anyone on here who utters a
syllable against the Great Man when he finally stops!
You've been warned ! ;)

Amusing to think that despite her musical shitness, from all accounts
Whitney could quite possibly have drunk, smoked and snorted all of us under
the table, before breakfast.

My sentiments exactly, Alex. When Whitney Houston was releasing her music,
I already had my Siouxsie and the Banshees, my Dead Can Dance, my Xmal
Deutschland, my Cocteau Twins on heavy rotation, and no one could change my
music preferences and my love of different female vocalists in the mid 80's
already.
I only feel very bad for the teenage daughter Whitney Houston is leaving
behind. All the rest the media is going to stream will be the crocodile
tears and this tragedy will yield big business, as it is usually the
case when a mainstream star dies.

I mean, personally speaking, I COMPLETELY DESPISED Whitney Houston's
music. When her first album debuted back in the 198whatever, I was working

As was completely the same case with Michael Jackson, the music I sought
out at the time (and, for that matter, still) served as the ANTIDOTE to the
inescapable Whitney Houston. Did she have a powerful voice? Certainly, but
that doesn't mean I have to like what she did with it. On other fronts, she

So yeah, I hated Whitney Houston's music. But Fluw's account underscored

mean a great deal to a lot of people, For that alone, it's a loss (to say
