Well, allright, at last!  I think them working with Sammy again is the best idea, and as of recent, given various personality quirks, I think this will be secure.   I liked the Roth flamboyancy from the first few albums, but Dave literally has  "shown his ass" a little too often.  I think their sound on the F...album hit it right on the head.  And let's face it (guitar players..), Edward is NOT going to go back to using Marshalls and Strat type guitars (was it a Hammer he used initially?  ), so the sound is definitely going to be the 5150 amp with the Ernie Ball , and ..uh, we'll see....  But...how's his HEALTH holding up?  Thought things were pretty grim there for awhile, with all the cough..cough..smoking and drinking.
