    Does this new live album finally put to bed the conspiracy that they are piping in MA on backing vox? Wolf can be heard clearly singing them and singing them well.

    Eddie is so used to being the ONLY guitar player onstage, with just a few exceptions over the years. Even Sammy (a more-than-competent guitarist) only played guitar on special occasions with the band.

    Maybe they could just have Mike replace Alan "Fitz" Gerald as the secret keyboard player/singer backstage? They're already piping in his vocals so the sound won't change much...

    That was a theory on his first tour 7-8 years ago. I don't think people are still saying that.

    He may be singing them, but he sounds nothing like MA. The background vocals are still a missing ingredient in the band's current sound, IMO.

    It should be noted all those wonderful background melodies that MA sang back in the day were written by David Lee Roth. Nowadays, they are being sung by Wolfgang Van Halen. Sure it's not Mike, but Wolf does a damn good job imo. The new live album is testament to that
     
  7. Do you mean that DLR wrote the vocal melodies and MA came up with the harmonies or that DLR wrote everything to do with vocals? Also, what is your source for this?
