Have you ever heard the demo for VHI ? Crap guitar sound, Very little lead guitar work and lot's of doubled rhythm tracks.

It was Templeman who helped design the VH guitar tone. It was he who convinced Eddie to play more lead guitar, and it was he who had Eddie play more interesting and embellished rhythms, which ultimately needed no doubling.

In fact, listening to the demo, they sounded like a very mediocre band with a good singer.
