Latest Bass Player Interview

[Never was]

Why can't Mike wear a dress and be a back up singer since Wolfie actually plays bass better

I'm sure Sammy a dress his size.

[Kristy]

And you're a god damn fool to ever want to buy/try his rat poison hot sauce. Fuck him.

[TJMKID]

Yup. The big W holds the cards. Him breaking away would help. Not so sure he's ready to leave the nest yet, though.

Wolfie just seems like a spoiled 22 yr. old baby. Very immature and afraid to say anything that might get his Daddy's panties in a wad.

If Wolf wants to grow a pair and start acting like an adult --- he needs to push out a Facebook post where he clearly states how much Mike Anthony means to the history of Van Halen and that's why he needs to come back for one last reunion tour of the ORIGINAL lineup.

Wolf can hang on as "rhythm bassist" for this reunion tour so he can still collect a small paycheck and make his Daddy happy that he's employed and not spending all his time at In 'N Out Burger.

[DLR Bridge]

Spoiled? Sure. Immature? I dunno. He seems more level headed than the adults that surround him at times. I just wish he was able to do an interview with some more difficult or uncomfortable questions being asked. You just know the interviewers are prepped on what's on the no-no-list.

I like to ask him what he thought of Sammy shitting on his Dad and actually saying that he (Wolf) ran crying into Sammy's dressing room one night in'04. I'd also like him to outline his favorite Michael Anthony contributions to Van Halen. You can't tell me he doesn't have one.

[Angel]

I find him to be immature but level headed.

Totally agree...I'd LOVE to actually have someone from Howard Stern's show...seems like he's the only one that can get past all the handlers AND have the balls to get tossed after the fact...ask some tough questions.

Wolfie has GOT to have a couple of fave riffs of bassplayer's...there's the open e-string slide...the now infamous bass solos...the warbling screams...gotta be something there for him to like!

All kidding aside...I really liked the 6 albums they made...I can't think of another band that put 6 out there from the beginning that can hold that much weight in Rock...but the Spammy love ended it all for me personally in regards to Anthony. It was just sick to witness the Monsters of Rock concert to see THE might Van Halen reduced to such dangerous lows...then to keep it down...like they were actually trying to kill the golden goose...it was just sad. Now? So much time in between tours and recording that they're becoming irrelevant to the Music World again that it begs the question...Why include David Lee Roth and Wolfgang if that was all the brothers were going to do? I was content to seeing the DLR Band more than once a year on tour and hearing what he was doing in the studio. If all they're going to do is rehash stuff from the vaults why bother? Cut Dave loose and give him his due. It's GOTTA be killing a guy like him to NOT perform in front of an audience...Dave NEVER dialed in a bad show in regards to CVH material...he gave it it's due and in some cases expanded on it by giving us the backstory. I'd really like to see more of Wolfie's input...I thought for his age he did a STELLAR job up there and he did everything bassplayer could do and built on it with his own flair. Hell, give the kid a song where he's the lead vocal...I don't care anymore...JUST DO SOMETHING!!!

Time's a wastin'!

[DLR Bridge]

Dave's not chained to the machine. He could cut himself loose (again) if he wanted to. I agree that he is the type to go stir crazy from inactivity, but at this stage in his life, he seems quite comfortable filling his down time with projects that don't involve getting out on the stage in front of people.

[WARF]

Michael Anthony is the only TRUE bass player for Van Halen!

[Kristy]

Yes he is. Too bad he is such a dick.

[FORD]

...who can't extract his head from Sammy Hagar's cheese clogged ass.

[FORD]

Yup. The big W holds the cards. Him breaking away would help. Not so sure he's ready to leave the nest yet, though.

Maybe if Tremonti had asked him to join Creed, rather than just his sideline gig.

Not that I would consider Creed a good band, but Wolf seems to be a fan, and a friend to those guys.

[Never was]

There's an assumption that the band is inactive now, I wouldn't assume that. Nothing happens fast for this band but I believe there is more activity than perceived.

Agreed. I just parused a Sammy interview in Classic Rock magazine w/ Alter Bridge on the cover. Not only is Ched talking more trash, but he states that the Van Halens rejected his offer to do a song with him on what would have been a career spanning Anthology (whoopee) hence, it's just "...and friends". His intent was to play with all the people he has played with in previous bands, that's why you've got Schon, Carmassi, Satch etc. washing dishes on there. It's a good sign that the brothers told him to go pound sand up his ass. The fuck even said he went easy on Ed in his book. He just keeps getting classier.

Yeah, I think things might just go Mike's way if that were to happen.

Thank you, this one made me lose it. Well done!
