Full New Michael Anthony Interview

[Full Bug]

"But I tell you it would be one damn interesting show when they ask us to get together and play for the induction ceremony. I know Dave; he'll be there a week ahead of the show just waiting."

Thats a funny comment, and likely true, lol....

[Matt White]

THis is exactly why I went to see DAVE last summer....

EVH is too screwed up to do ANYTHING.....

[Warham]

It's both Dave and Eddie's fault. The Bass Player's® just caught in the middle.

Dave is just too damned controlling, and Eddie is just too damn drunk most of the time for them to ever come to any sort of agreement.

Dave needs a reality check and Edward needs to be told that he has enough money now and it is supposed to be about the fans that made them, not how much money they can make.

Well said

Aint that a bitch.....

Check this out from the links!!!




Do you really care about us fans? I know we dont know what's going on, only all the stuff from the web..frustrating, idnt it?
There's one way and one way only that you can salvage your fans..and dont go resting on your laurels and place in history..history works from most recent to earliest, so it will end up as ""The fucking whack-job asshole who fucked himself and his band by silly pride, who happened to be the greatest guitarist who ever lived..."

Or it could end up as "The gift of music was never given as freely and amazingly as it was with Mr. Edward VanHalen, the greatest guitarist who ever lived"

If you care at all about the fans, then it must be the latter and the only way to do that is to suck it up, let it go and play music for us..that's why you are here.if its just you, al and two others, so be it, but that wont get the history part done. If you care about that at all, which i dont think you do, you should at the least do a reunion finale w/ DLR.

Otherwise Ed, do all of us lifelong fans one final favor and TELL US YOU ARE RETIR[SIZE=3][SIZE=3]

That's great.

I just checked this out at Links.

They've got a 'rant' thread going on over there (to ed and al).

I now believe Dave has to put his ego aside for the band, the fans and for the reunion he wants so badly. I know you dont want to change Dave, but $50 million dude?

And I guess Dave was hurting for cash? We were SO fucking close to a reunion. Every member of that band has to ask themselves what they REALLY want to do. And then DO IT!

Don't believe anything the fat little bass player says.......remember he was one of them fucking dave on his royalties.

yeah.....it's all Dave's fault as fucking usual

[Lloyd Anger]

Thanks Full Bug for the release. I'm very sad and and very bummed by this whole thing. I feel empty and incomplete.

I love Dave. I love Eddie. I love the music they have given us. The greatest, bar none.

End of story? Who knows.

Who's choice? Who knows.

Will either make a move? Who knows.

Dave, you are KING! Can you make it happen?

I need a ('nother) drink.

I think Dave was trying to flex some muscle after being fucked in the ass in '96. I think it is funny that Mike went into Dave's dressing room and Dave agreed with what he was saying in regards to his ego. Perhaps Dave will lose some ego, and Ed will cut back on the alcohol. I doubt it, but I always hold out hope.

[Dave's PA Rental]

Great get, Bug...did you have to translate that from Japanese? (holey run-on-sentences, Batman...)

Couple things...Mike Anthony is a dude caught in the middle...most of you people who bash him AND EDDIE'S BROTHER would be first in line to sing their praises if/when they get back with Dave. That's one thing ive NEVER understood from alot of the 'regulars' at this site (notice I didnt say 'old-timers')...you bash Mike and Al...dont tell me you wouldnt fall back in love with them if Dave comes-a-callin...

Next, EVERYONE associated with that band is at fault here...maybe some more than others, but it's such a shame...that part where Mike describes the vibe of them playing together again made me almost cry.

So close....so close.

I had Cato translate it for me.... :D

[ULTRAMAN VH]

Lets be real folks, we all want The Diamond One back in VH, but after 21 long years and 3 failed attempts in the past, it probably is not going to happen. Lets hope WB releases some DLR era boxsets before were to old to enjoy them. It is obvious both camps are more concerned with their ego's than us fans. I am amazed that Al was the one being diplomatic in the studio, agreeing to let Dave do his thing and the rest of the band theirs on the new cd.

[fenway5150]

What a fucking pathetic situation that band is in right now. It's a go nowhere project that keeps collecting dust with every passing day.
