They have even less elegance and charm than the real thing.
Still don't see what is so elegant about them. Probably never will, Uwe.
Not that it is of any importance what I think. If you enjoy them, that is the only thing that matters.

But touring life is hard work and nothing for a recovering cancer patient.

I also think my fellow countraman Eric Grönwall did a great job. The clip is from one of the first series of shows he did in Skid Row. He came in as recovering cancer patient and unfortunately his body could'nt cope with any lengthy touring in the long run so he had to jump ship recently after 2 years in the band. A pretty relaxed newcomer considering he is a big Sebastian Bach fan and knew what shoes he had to fill (hang on for that high pitch scream at 5:19):

Jimi is Glenn Hughes' manager and Ash is Glenn's drummer.
It turns out they have an amazing band called Dead Sea Skulls.
The guitar player is Jimi's brother by the way.
Now if that isn't music predictably right up Herr van den Broek's alley!
Ash is a real find as a drummer.
