Regarding Doug Aldrich, all I knew about the guy was the glowing praise that I'd seen heaped upon him by the good folks here and on other guitar sites. So when Dio came through here with Doug in tow, I was pretty stoked to be getting the chance to see him play. All I can say is that I hope I caught him on a bad night - he really wasn't the player I was expecting. It was just a mess of gratuitous and not very appropriate overplaying at every opportunity.
Maybe that venue is cursed. I saw Thin Lizzy at the same place recently, and John Sykes was just awful that night - talk about obviously not giving a toss...
