Regardless of dickness, the energy is long gone. VH stopped being VH after 1984. I really liked Diver Down and Women and Children First... great albums I've listened to many, many times.... 1984 got a lot of production polish but they still had that energy that made their sound unique.
By now, most of them have really slowed down, voices and styles have certainly changed... and I'm sure the experience will be (to me) like listening to lite-jazz instead of rock.... They'll take liberties on the hard parts they can't do anymore and smooth it out and over-produce it. So, needless to say, I'm prepared to miss it.
Yes, I'm cynical AND unrealistic. I want every musician to stay 26 and stay able to do all the drugs and keep up all the creativity forever. ha!
