I was quite a big Van Halen fan up until Diver Down and from there it all went a bit pear shaped. Link to Steve Vai, who started on a high with P & W and lost the plot a bit on Sex and Religion and whenever he started singing on slow numbers. Aerosmith came with a string of turkeys after Pump, in particular those power ballads written in cahoots with some of the naffest tunesmiths on the planet.
