Basically, we all waited for her to be done singing the "new stuff" and let the rest of the band do the songs we wanted to hear.

She's got a great voice, and has done some stellar side work. She's just wrong as lead for Little Feat.

Re: Fuller. They had some decent hits with Fuller, but I basically agree - he was designed to keep the vessel between the navigational markers. - nothing more.

To me the Van Hagar albums range from "meh" ('F.U.C.K.') to pretty good ('5150'). nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #17
