MA on songwriting credits

[DLR7884]

Mullet O' Plugs never wrote a damn thing while in VH. He was lucky to get a writing credit on a single song in the entire catalog while he was with the band.

He's an over rated bassist (G,G,G,G,G,G,G....) and I'm convinced he didn't play on Fair Warning.

He took the high road because he doesn't have a fucking leg to stand on.

What is a calk board? Try using two hands to type. dick.

You got me little fella............

Now I'm being lectured by the "sharpest nail in the bucket"..............

[Heater]

Doesn't answer the question....WHAT is a calk board? Maybe your post would make more sense if you explained it. Nice picture, is that you on the left? Boom!

[Panamark]

If he never wrote them, what a fucked up question to ask him ?

Yes, he spoke nicely about his former band, but a month ago
was laughing his ass off with Sammy about Van Halens incompetence
to get their shit together. I hope he really digs the album and tells
Hagar the same.

I give it three years and the kid says i can't play with 60 year olds. The last tour they have is with Mike. Wolfie has connections now. He will be wanted he can play drums and axe pretty good too. So in comes Mike with Dave's help and $$$$$$$$$$$. Sammy will be close to 70.

Ed brought in his own kid...MA was gonna be out anyway

Yeah I don't think he had a choice, seeing as how he only played on three songs on VHIII and had nothing to do with BOBW. He said in a 2006 interview that the VH brothers didn't want him on the 2004 reunion tour.

CHALK BOARD...I know its a mystery when a person drops a letter out of a common word....try to keep up kid

What happened to that other Bueno Bob who couldn't have been more in opposition to the whole thing? If I recall you wanted no part of a Van Halen without Mike? Have you come from the Dark side finally? Nice to have you back!

Yeah, more or less. I hated the thought at first, and a large part of me STILL would love to have Mike back, but at this point, it's barely an issue to me anymore, really. Wolfgang's honestly got all the bass chops Van Halen needs; I don't care all that much about the backing vocals, per se. It looks weird to have a kid amongst old men, yeah, but what are looks when it comes to having the band back?

And it's not like I'm going to go on a hate fest about Mike...or anybody else, per se, if Mike wants to play backup in Chickenfoot, that's fine...if it makes him happy, whatever...his being gone is his fault, Hagar's fault, Eddie's fault, and even Alex's fault, they're all equally to blame for it....Mike could suck it up and call Eddie and probably get his job back, but he doesn't; Eddie could call him and Mike would be on a plane inside of 2 hours...it is what it is.

I have no vitriol towards Wolfgang, and in his shoes, hey, it's a cool gig to have, you know? As far as I care anymore, if anybody REALLY misses Mike all that much, they can go listen to The Other Half of Planet Chickenfoot or whatever...

...but based on the sales of THAT particular band, well, NOBODY DOES.

Chickenfoot III

Is burning up the charts

[Matt White]

It's the greatest thing I've ever heard, outside of Supertramp and Erasure.

You really are a dolt

Well, from what I read in the thread that was directly quoted from Anthony, the words "lawsuit" and "songwriting credits" weren't spoken by him, and I think it was classy of him to simply wish the band well and say that he was looking forward to hearing the new album.
I still can't decide if Mike Anthony has been exhibiting a zen-like sense of peace and acceptance over being ousted from the band, or if he has the personality of a doormat.

I'd say the latter.

I'd say the latter.

Yeah...perhaps...I mean, if he's bitter or pissed at all, he sure does a good job of hiding it.
