Good Lord, I'm surprised assjack Eddie hasn't sued for the utter embarrassment this is for practically everyone involved with this project. To each their own, I suppose, but between the negative reviews (thanks for the heads-ups) and the sampling of the songs, I know well enough to stay away from purchasing. For non-straight reading of a VH song that's worth some time, check Lee and the Press-On Nails' swing version of "Hot for Teacher." That one's a tribute, not just some carbon-clone cover that all the songs on LITTLE GUITARS are.

Good and Bad3
I didn't know what to expect when I got this CD, but some of it isn't bad and some of it is. I loved Unchained, Dance the Night Away and Atomic Punk. I liked Light up the Sky except that it sounded like Yngwie Malmsteen was trying to sqeeze every lick known to man into one solo, but the overall sound was good. The rest of the tracks were pretty good for the most part except for Running with the Devil, So This is Love and Little Guitars. Jake E. Lee's guitar work and solo in particular aren't very good on Running with the Devil. The solo is nothing even slightly resembling the original. I also didn't care much for the guitar work and tone in So This is Love either, but everything else sounded okay. And lastly, Little Guitars sounds like it was recorded in a home studio for $200 in someone's basement, although the arrangement and musicianship were good. These are just my opinions though so check it out for yourself.

I usually despise tribute albums, but once in a while I check them to see if some version of a beloved song by one of your favorite rock artists receives a new spin, a new touch.

In this case, nothing hapenned. Bob Kulick Tribute Enterprises delivered a perfunctory tribute album, where all the songs seem exactly like their original versions. Useless.
