    NO!

        I dunno. I do like his bass playin' but to me, he was always "just there". Some songs he did so very well. Like SGMAD and Outta Love Again were great. Im not saying he sucked. Im saying he was "replaceable". I would say the other 3 were not replaceable though. :D

            Hendrix is great in moderation, but we are talking about a 4 piece band that claims equal recognition, not Jimi and the back up band. :D Now you got me in the mood for some Hendrix.

                While you're at it, listen to some classic Ozzy with Bob Daisley's classic basslines replaced...

                    You guys both make a valid argument. Mikes bass licks were nothing special, and he probably could have easily been "replaced". But, his vocals are key to the classic sound and without it...well....It ain't Van Halen without Mike Anthony!

                        You said every song?

                        first 2 albums were great bass albums. Again though, any good bass player could do what Mike did.
                        [...] going to tell me that those two albums wouldn't have been the same without Mike playing Bass? You dont think any pro bass player could have done those albums?
                        I may be wrong, but I heard Ed did some of the bass parts himself in the golden greats. Anyway, do you think Anthony really did the bass tapping on "You're no good" for instance? I really don't.
                        Yet, he was perfect in his place back in the gilden years as a bassist and mate (it seems so at least). But his damn too shrill screams make me cringe on the boots I've collected for years. Sure the only detail that doesn't fit, to me. But big Mike fitted perfectly in all other aspects.

                            I prob wouldn't be able to tell the difference in all honesty. Im not a big Ozzy fan. (Dio was a better frontman for Sabbath too!) :D

                                Dave is the only one out of the 4 who could deliver right now. EVH is in no condition to hang with the Diamond One. Check out the 4th of july footage. DLR has got his game back, unlike the alcoholic sisters.

                                    Ed's 'Brown Sound' has been true to it's namesake on record since 1984: comes across like shit. His live tone may still be listenable, but his recorded sound post-Roth just sucks. Think it has to do more with Ed handling production and engineering chores, regardless of who got the credit on the Van Hagar albums.

                                    Dave's got a unique voice and style which I dig, but the man was never Pavarotti [sic (?) ]. From everything I've seen and heard since 1999, Roth is more than capable of serving up the classics, and knocking them right out of the park. Might have difficulties with the screams on the verse-ends of something like 'Outta Love Again', but doubt I'd be splitting hairs that much if they got back together. Shit, Ed was flubbing the rhythm parts to 'Running With The Devil' on one 2004 mpeg I saw on this site, so maybe it's not Dave we gotta be concerned with here.

                                            But I don't spend any time there and don't know if it is still available.

                                                    This is exactly right,Ragoo.Mikey has always been a meat and potatoes bass player and he has never been anything but.Can anyone really imagine Van Halen backing vocals live w/o him?He is very distinct,for a refresher watch the live clip of HFT,he's THAT fucking important to the sound.His and Dave's voice mesh so well together that the 2 of them together sound like 3.

                                                    Still think he is a shiver looking for a spine to crawl up though
