After I saw the pic of Ed on Oscar night, I did some web surfing. At Wikipedia, I saw that Mikey gave an interview to a magazine on March 6, 2006. I could not believe what I saw. So, rather than tell you what he said, I have it pasted below. Enjoy!
March 6 2006: An exlusive and revealing Michael Anthony interview appeared in Japanese rock magazine Buurn. Some of the highlights were:
* Eddie Van Halen did not want Anthony to take part in 2004 reunion tour due to performing with Hagar previously.
* Eddie Van Halen had issues with Sammy Hagar selling Cabo Wabo products at Van Halen 2004 shows.
* The band had tried on three occasions to make a record with David Lee Roth.
* During one reunion attempt David Lee Roth wanted the band to play music similar to the Chemical Brothers.
* Anthony did not play bass on any of the three news songs on the Best of Both Worlds compilation.
* The whole band only played together on 3 tracks on the Van Halen 3 album with Eddie Van Halen using a drum machine on Dirty Water Dog.
* Anthony hasnt spoken to Eddie Van Halen since the end of the 2004 tour, though has spoken to Alex Van Halen at Greg Emerson's (Van Halen drum tech) funeral.
