Lang's solos didn't have much to do with the tunes. Like EVH's solos tend
to ramble for no reason. Or like I sometimes ramble for no reason. :-) I
think his singing style (in sound and look) is similar to Joe Cocker.
Whether that's good or bad, I leave up to personal tastes.

Not big on the band, or the tune, but I like the solo!
