HOLY FAAAAAHKIN SHIT™, Mike Anthony GOT HIS BALLS BACK!!!

"To sign on to do the tour, they made me relinquish any rights and claims I had to the (Van Halen) name, the logo, whatever. At this point, there is basically nothing going on as far as Van Halen goes. It's tough to say that, but I'm not going to sugarcoat anything any more."

"I've always tried to skate around these questions," Anthony says. "But the fact of the matter is when we did the tour in 2004, Ed didn't want me there because of my relationship with Sammy. I sucked it up and took less pay, because I thought if it was the last time Van Halen went out and toured, and I wasn't part of it, I would really be upset.


melodiCROCK has made some bullshit up over the years in terms of rumors. but i dont think that they fabricate or masticate interviews my black ******s of the clan

Nice to see Mike finally saying what we all knew. It must really be over or he wouldn't have said that though. Well, either Mike knows there is no chance of a reunion ever, or Eddie is too fucked up to understand what he said anyways.

Mike's on a rant there!

Mike, you were part of Van Halen's last tour.
It happened in the mid 80's.

Remember ?

Lets hope Mikey doesnt really have his balls back.
That would be detrimental to the classic Van Halen sound
should the real band ever reunite..

Hagar says he is in the same boat as Anthony when it comes to forecasting the future.
"I wish Alex was my brother and I've said that to him many times," Hagar says, regarding the Van Halen drummer. "Ed and Al are tight as hell and you ain't going to get between them. When you're with them, you're an outsider so Mike and I were always buddying up when Ed and Al would start speaking (their native) Dutch and smoking cigarettes and getting in fistfights (laughs).
"I don't have a lot of faith in another Van Halen reunion. I'd be totally willing if everything was cool, but I'll tell you straight up, everything's not cool."

That's good, hearing from Sammy.

I'll take no Van Halen over Van Hagar any day of the week.

As usual, David's the only one who looks good...

If Mike was in Dave's band then it would be the Other Half.

What difference does it make if Mike gives up the Van Halen name?
He will always be known as Van Halen's bassist. Who is Ed to dictate to Mike who he can be friends with?

Clearly these guys aren't nearly the same band that split their publishing four ways back in the day. Not by a long shot.

All about money I suppose. Plus it avoids any crap like Pearcy & DeMartini had where there were 2 bands touring at the same time called Ratt.

who could forget the bassplayer squeal!

Oh for Pete's sake...

If Van Halen comes back around...they'll have Mike...

Because if Van Halen ever comes back around...it'll be with Dave...

Who will insist on Mike's presence...

Otherwise...it ain't Van Halen...just Ed's sub-par solo band...

I don't know if Eddie can eat that much crow. 25 years ago who would have guessed the VH bass player and the singer from Montrose would be touring as The Other Half of Van Halen? Fucking weird.

Ouch guys, here we go again.

(more success with hagar?)
half as many is more? Did they enjoy it twice as much? I don't get it

I think they meant more success as continuing. Everyone knows it wasn't more as in greater success. Well, almost everyone:-)

It's admittedly strange. I'm going to go see Marky Ramone pretty soon...he's billing himself as "The Last Ramone" or some such thing...

Of course...he's not...

If he means "original" Ramone, he isn't...that would be Tommy...

If he means "other" Ramone, he isn't...because there's still Ritchie and CJ....

I guess I could put Geoff Nicholls and Bobby Rondinelli in my band and call it Black Sabbath... :D
