Michael Anthony is a class act and I’m glad he took the high road and didn’t fire shots back at Ed in the media. It was a shit movie by Eddie to dump Michael Anthony and not let him be apart of the 07/08 Tour with Roth! It’s also actually nice to HEAR Mikey again on an album mix! I remember when I first spun OU812 I was like “is there any bass on this album?” You have to EQ the hell out of that album to get any…what a JOKE of a mix that album is!! It’s also nice to see Mikey happy and in a REAL band again and not the Cabo Wabo cover band with Hagar.

Eddie is a tool and always will be.

Mikey is going to show the Van Halen’s what they kicked to the curb as trash. When they see or hear of this, which they have, they will go “damn we should’ve kept him!”

But they won’t and thank you. Chickenfoot is going to Europe and other places that Van Halen will never go to. Van Halen is done.

PUSH…Sammy always said the brothers were really hard on Mikey, and that he never understood that. I think they simply thought “how dare they” consider themselves “the other half”. Ed’s response to that was “my brother is the other half”, so it’s obvious they do not see Dave, Sam, Mike, or even Wolfie as equal in stature.

Success really changes people. Eddie and Al are more in the Axl Rose/Michael Jackson kind of mindset. I’m really happy that Mikey & Sammy are more in synch with the mindset of their fans. This summer will truly be something to remember!

I think after 10 years of promises that its pretty obvious who is the demented,bitter and twisted one.

Balls still in your court Ed!!!!!!

Yeah..it is weird but i’ve never seen anyone as oblivious as Edward…EVERY one wonders what really happened with mikey but Ed isn’t making a sound about it…Some people just have really weird reactions to constructive criticism or even opinions…Ed if you read this stuff at all I think Mikey,Sammy Roth and Cherone ( not to mention Mike’s kid’s ) deserve an answer.

Yeah I’m talking about before the 2004 tour. Can’t figure it out who wouldn’t want MA? I can understand wolfie on this tour but MA has been nothing but solid and helpful to EVH’s Career. As far as a shredding bassist…I’ve heard vai and sheehan’s jamming solos together on tours and that get’s boring after a while. I would go for the solid dude who can groove and sing his ass off!
