Michael Anthony on Trunk Podcast

[DLR Bridge]

Burn through the first 15 minutes of Trunk talking about himself and the interview starts. Not bad. He definitely wants back in, most likely for the same reason Dave wanted it. Spoke kindly of Wolf. He hasn't spoken to Ed and Al since '04 which I was hoping not to hear. He does sound a little more like he quit, but was put in a bad spot. He was surprised at how Gary was treated, too. In any case, worth checking out a midst these slow VH news days.

If you see an advert it's his not ours.

[TitanTopper]

Yeah, I found it to be a really good interview. I've always liked MA...nothing has changed for me. Interesting that MA refers to DLR as "Roth" at one point in the interview. Also, Trunk basically goes out of his way to let you know he's hearing NOTHING about the guys doing new music. Said there have been a few rumors of a FEW possible live dates, but nothing else in the VH camp and that Wolf is working with Tremonti. He seemed frustrated just like the rest of us. The VH boys are geniuses, but ride that line of being brilliant and just nothing more than whack jobs!!

[twonabomber]

and that Wolf is working with Tremonti.

Hmmm. Alter Bridge is touring, they'll be here in October...

[Von Halen]

They'll be here too. I'm going to see them. Awesome band. Myles Kennedy is badass. In fact, I'm going to see him with Slash next week.

Speaking of Slash, has anybody made as much great music, with as many different lead singers, as Slash has? That motherfucker just keeps bringing it.

That's a long tour then, my ticket is for December...

His best singer was Eric Dover. He needs him back. I don't care for Myles at all. He's a bit too Geoff Tate-ish sounding IMO.

Get yourself in some sort of therapy.

I think not on the genius angle... excellent musicians, yes.

Beyond that... social recluses, piss-poor business professionals and lazy some-bitches wasting what little's left of their productive years in life jacking off at home... That's what dumb-asses do... not geniuses!!

No, no... Senor Vette the Home Wanker™ has been around the neighborhood a lot longer than 2 years... If I recall he was part of the legendary madness at DDLR.com back in happier times... before... the Dark Time™...

I still believe a new album is in the works. We all know as Van Halen fans getting any info out of that camp is extremely difficult. It's been there philosophy to keep things pretty quiet until the last moment with only vague hints of activity. It usually gets quietest before something is about to happen. That still may mean months away but here are a couple of things that show something is happening . . . . .

1) Roth said there was a "secret project" in April of this year and talked about a new album and that it would be out in 18 months or so .

2) Mark Tremonti in February of 2014 . . . Said Mark: "With Wolfgang in the band now, he does a lot of work with VAN HALEN right now, they're putting together a new album,
so it's going to be hard to get everybody's schedules to line up."

3) When the new picture of Ed visiting the Howie Weinberg Mastering Studio in July that was possibly to do with a new album.

Any thoughts?

Donnie likes Tacos.

Love your optimism though!

If there is a new album, I'm guessing it'd be more of the "35 songs from the Different Kind of Truth demos". That would be easy for the band, they wouldn't have to worry about writing anything but some lyrics possibly and some small revisions? Plus if there is a new album coming early next year I'm guessing that visit may have been Eddie taking the premasters to the studio and it'd most likely be done by now. They're probably sorting out packaging, release dates, label, promotion (although they didn't do much of that last time haha).

Then again because we know like 3 little hints I could be completely wrong....all I say is to top A Different Kind of Truth they better bring out a new album AND 1984 blu-ray (with 1984 documentary)....then in between the 2008 show (with bonus songs from 2012) then more of the 35 songs can make another album and to top that they need to bring out a live bluray of Oakland....then more of the 35 songs and a early CVH bluray boxset (remaster 78, 79, prealbum footage, 1980 documentary, US festival etc, behind the scenes stuff)....and then that'd probably be it from the 35 songs and I'd be content...one more album with the original four (and live blu-ray)? Maybe a full Aus tour as well? So I can actually see them (with Mike or Wolf, I don't care as long as I witness Eddie and Alex live) hahaha. All this must happen within the next 2-3 years too...asking too much?

[DLR Bridge]

Interesting that Mike says he's not interested in writing a book just yet because he would make too many enemies. I can't imagine him divulging so much damning information about other people in a book about his life the way his buddy did. Even in this interview, he said "not to mention any names" at least a few times. While the possibility of returning to VH remains remote, he is wise to not burn the bridge.

[DLR Bridge]

He's only working with the solo Tremonti project, no?

[Diamondjimi]

He's only working with the solo Tremonti project, no?

Most likely. Because, YOU CANT BE IN TWO FUCKING BANDS!!!!!!!!

[DLR Bridge]

So you caaaann be in two bands. This is so confusing anymore.

No no it's quite simple if your last name is Van Halen then you can be in as many bands as you want.....

^^^he just stayed quiet here for a long time. Envy made him start posting.

His numerous "thanks" during that period made him one of my favourite posters here, lol.

All those "thanks", still no cred.
