Recent Michael Anthony Interview

[MAX]

This guy 'tis Japanese and translated it the best he could but it's still a cool piece of Halen info.

Props to that guy for doing it.

"I always read a fan site of Van Halen, and I pay attention what a fan thinks about."

Michaal Anthony Reading the Army?

Wonder what his reaction would be?

[RuzDNailz]

He had a lot of interesting things to say. What really caught my
interest was when The Bass Player mentioned how it was magical
when they did songs like 'Mean Streets' with Dave in the last time
they performed together. Imagine how WE will feel seeing that again.
3 months. That's all DLR is asking for. Come one VH brothers, it's
not much to ask for. All we want is for CVH to rule once again and
make us feel like the kings we were back then. Light that CVH torch
and wave it in the faces of all Spammy fans. Really show the Sheep
how it's all done!!!

Even Steve Vai said he loves Dave and will appreciate the break he gave him but did say Dave has a huge ego and you have to do it his way to work with him. Steve said he had no problems because Dave was technically his boss but he could see where Dave would butt heads in a band of equals.

[Dan]

Thanks for the Link Max.

"When we gathered in a studio with Dave first, we played several songs, Hot For Teacher or Mean Street etc. It was a very interesting experience and I thought This is that magic!. And then Dave brought in a tape of Chemical Brothers, and said to play such a music."

So that was why there wasn't a reunion? 'Cause Dave wanted to, shall we say, "upgrade" the sound? Or even, intigrate the 21st century "piledriver" rock sound with a 21st century "disco/pop" beat?

Fuck, I'd buy it. Just make it sound like a snarling, haven't-been-fed-for-a-week pitbull...

Besides, isn't that what they did back then? Polished, but raw rock'n'roll, that had the BeeGees production style coupled with the Sex Pistols attitude.

"Geez, I suppose I should realize that the Mullet died before CVH died." Time to head over to SuperCuts.

Thanks for sharing it here...would love to know the rest of the 6 pages worth of interview in english, if it has anything to do with CVH & Dave.

And I agree with EVH that their concert tour is really not the place to promote Spam's colored water where only HE is making the profit from sales. Spam doesn't believe in sharing the wealth.

[Rikk]

Good read.

Makes me think (more than ever) that this band is deader than Julius Caesar.

[John Holmes]

Who gives a shit anymore. This band is done.

Dave keeps crying on air and elsewhere how bad he wants a reunion.

Eddie is on meth, alcohol, and good only knows what. He's unable to work.

Alex fucks things up whenever he gets a chance, adding more problems to the mix.

Mikey is nothing more than a hired hand. A shit out of a cow's ass has more hearsay.

The only thing is Dave going on solo. That's the closest thing to Van Halen we'll ever get.

[Terry]

Fuck, CVH trying some industrialized techno-rock for a few tracks would have been better than the swill they churned out with Hagar in 2004. That shit was substandard even in terms of what Van Hagar was capable of doing.

Anthony isn't even of any use now in terms of finding out what's rattling about in the Van Halen brother's heads. Poor fucker only participated in the 2004 reunion because Hagar wanted him there...wow.

I'll tell you, if I had been playing bass with EVH for nearly 30 years, and the dude didn't want me there, I sure as shit wouldn't try to wiggle an invite by slipping in with the bands SECOND singer. I'd tell Ed to go blow it out his ass.

[Uncle Rico]

I have a better chance of winning POWERBALL than these guys reuniting. This is very very sad.

I think even Mike wants one last go-round with Dave, just for the fans.

Too bad the sisters won't let it happen.

[Terry]

Mike will play with the band regardless of who is singing.

Seems he's pretty much lucky if EVH lets him participate at all these days (granted, there are all kinds of luck).
