I keep my old loyal friends i grew up with and the musicians with whom i work seperate.
Seriously, I'm not sensing much openmindedness from you. Firstly, you swooped in here basically coming from the highly intelligent position "it sucks" (
). After being met with the usual response such a post merits, you then revealed your true perspective, that of the moral/musical-expert denouncing the artistic merit of said artist (and he is an artist, like it or not).
I'll give that to you. Sorry.

And it IS all relative, as you said. If record sales count for something then Eddie is about as "up there" as it gets. If having a bajillion girls creaming themselves over you as you play while a bajillion boys wish they were you counts for something then the same is true. If having a few dozen tracks hit the top 100 charts over the span of nearly two decades counts then it supports the theory even further.
...and he was a pretty great backup singer. :D

In my book not one of those things matter.

Will VH have a following in 50 years? I likely won't be around to see it, but I hazard a good guess the answer will be yes. In guitardom history his name will be forever ranked high, and the mark of maturity here would be to learn from this and use it to develop the ability to adjust your ever-so-learned opinion a little, because what I'm saying is right.

Whatever, neither of us can really tell, so I'll retract my statement that they will be forgotten in 50 years. I apologize for any arrogance that might've come across.

Btw, what has the guitarist for "Biggy" ever done? Any meaningful impact happening there?

Biggy was the brooklyn rapper who got killed in 1997. I grew up listening to old rap music.
