        It's so they can't be upstaged by a better opening band. Which isn't hard to do....

          I read an interview a couple months ago with the guitarist from Autograph. They asked him about opening for VH. He stated he was forbidden from doing any "tapping" during the tour - because King Eddie would not have it.

            I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                    I think Eddie told White Lion the same thing. Vitto was sayin "Don't tap..?? what am I supposed to do? So he played his solos on a fuggin Tuba.

                      Damn! If he's gonna be that way about it, maybe he should have patented tapping back in the day.

                        I recall an interview where Eddie said he was angry when he learned that Tom Scholz was tapping in his extended solos on stage. Something about Eddie feeling ripped off.
                        "We were sitting on the bus one day and there were 5 of us hanging out. There was only one beer left in the cooler and we actually all took a little cup and split it. It was a pathetic day in a rock and roll when five grown men have to be sitting there sharing a beer. "

                          Ed once tried to copyright the backslash because it represented a striped finish.

                              not surprised. Steve Lynch was a BEAST with the tapping. Would've made Eddie's 3 note arps seem vanilla following Lynch's 8 finger tapping.

                              My only issue with Kool & The Gang opening is the number of band members. Aren't there like 8 of them? I hate it when the band impedes my access to the salad bar
