Eddie's almost as bad.

It makes me sad thinking of how good that band was and what some its members have become. Eddie misses the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction because he's in rehab. Roth doesn't go because he's busy bickering with the organizers or the band or whatever. At least Sammy and Mike showed up.
I saw VH about 16 years ago and the only thing good about it was the opening band (Alice in Chains destroyed them). Sammy lost his voice and Eddie was drunk. Just terrible. I saw Roth 4 years ago in Virginia and he was decent, but I've become tired of his boorish behaviour. I was excited for a few minutes when I heard VH was going to get together and tour again but of course they screwed that up as well.
As you said, Dis: at least we got the first few albums we can still smile about.
