VH was a HUGE part of my high school experience. Growing up in
So Cal we all went to the Starwood and Gazari's to see the latest
bands with a young kid toting the last name of Rhoads!
I'm sure every high school had that one kid who was the THE hot
drummer...it was my buddy Brian and he was OBSESSED with
AVH....right down to the exact kit and fire extinguishers
mounted.
That Dallas gig shows AVHs's gorgeous wrist snap...he hits
w/such power and consistency. Much of his earlier fills
reminded me of a big band drummer...sure part of his
pops influence.
THIS is what I remember about early AVH at the end of songs...
saw him do this at the LA Coliseum and Dave told him to stop...
Al was PISSED...never forget that moment.
(sorry Sturla...you start a VH post and it takes off...lol)
