Van Halen to Roth: dude, get your ass up there and sing, bitch!

[Virginia Dare]

How could he refuse such a heartfelt plea?

1. Note to Van Halen

Quit now and salvage what dignity you have left. It's over. Hell, they even dumped on Michael Anthony, for Christ's sake.

9. DON'T get me STARTED.

They are my favorite band EVER (see username); but I am DONE with the current incarnation because Michael Anthony's being kicked out.

Sorry, I love them, but Ed needs to grow the hell UP. This is why his wife left him, too.

13. Valerie's single?

hmmmmmmmmmm

[NewJeffCT]

2. Unfortunately

I'm 40 years old now, and have much less desire to see a concert these days than I did 10 years ago.

3. Eddie is such a prick, I don't know if Dave should

Honestly - how do you get rid of Michael Anthony????

I assume this is the post-alkie Eddie who was known to make the rule "no alchohol on the road - for ANYONE!"

Dave may be a spaz, but at least he's an honest spaz.

4. Get your stop watches ready.

Let's see if they can beat their previous record for world's briefest reunion.

[Book Lover]

5. Wait, wait, wait, wait - they dumped Michael Anthony?!

Holy god, what is the poor SOB going to do now? That's like dumping your first wife who's been cleaning up your shit for the past thirty years.

I just read the article. They brought in Wolfgang!!! I am disgusted. Disgusted and appalled. Kid, get your own band!

6. I did a little looking

It looks to me as if Micheal left Van Halen to work with Sammy Hagar. There seems to be a reunion with Roth and Michael is invited to do it, but it's up to him. After all of that, I really don't care anyway, but I thought I would see whats up.

[Book Lover]

7. Hey thanks

Like you say, why care at this point... it's 2006 fer cri-yi.

[lildreamer316]

11. No no no.

TRUST me.
That may be the "official" line;but what really happened is that Ed didn't even want Anthony on the last tour; and only kept him in because of the new release and Hagar insisting on it. (example: one tour bus/plane with Ed and Alex; the other carried Mikey and Hagar). This time; Ed was gonna have it his way or no way. He's mad at both Mikey and Sammy because of their product lines; he got mad when the sauce and the tequila were promoted on the tour at coliseums and amphitheaters. he's also mad that Mikey has remained friends with Sammy no matter what. He thought that if he was mad at Sam; then everyone should be. Mikey is just a laid back guy who loves to play music. Who can argue with that?

As I said above; I love them; and I have undying respect for Ed's musical genius; but his ego is a serious problem and he needs to grow the hell up.

[johnnie]

12. Well, I liked their first album

In fact, I bought it the day it came to the stores. The guy working there had to open the box and stamp a price on it for me. It was like $4.99..LOL.

I liked about 4 songs off their second album, and then that was it for me. Eddie was great when he came out, but he stopped impressing me real quick.

So, I'm not too worried about what goes on with them now. I think there is too much bad blood among them all to ever make any really good music again. That's just my opinion.

[KatyaR]

15. Well, Mike and Sammy are my two faves from that band,

so they should just form a new band --yeah, that's it . . . .

How the hell does ANYONE fire Michael Anthony? That's totally insane--my god, can he play . . . .

[Radical Activist]

8. Let the crapfest continue!

god that band sucked, whoever was singing.

[Nickster]

10. Seriously, what the heck is wrong with Eddie? It couldn't have been more than a month

ago he was on Howard Stern talking crap about David Lee Roth and Michael. Geez. Supposedly, they already have an album's worth of material recorded from the first reunion fiasco that never saw the light of day.

[NC_Nurse]

14. Maybe his drinking was covering up

a serious personality disorder or something. He's turned out to be quite the jerk.
He always seemed so cool, back in the day....musta been crocked...
