In the early days, and especially on the first few albums, Eddie pretty much showed Mike what he wanted Mike to play on a lot of the bass parts. Eddie wanted a bassist further advanced back then who he didn't have to coach so much.

To have a more accomplished bassist in the band, not for personal reasons.
"Hey Mike...nothing personal...but you're out of the band because you suck..."
Think about how fucking ridiculous that fucking sounds..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

and there isn't a member of Van Halen that has ever said anything even remotely close to that...
all those rumors came from outside sources...
IE...people who supposedly were asked...
IE...Billy Sheehan...
who has to be the first fucking bassist ever to leave a band to start his own..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

This is common in bands. Not the "you suck" part but guys who are cool otherwise but not cutting it musically are politely showed the door. I have been in bands where this has happend. Anyway, Eddie didn't boot Mike out back then and Mike did get better."Hey Mike...nothing personal...but you're out of the band because you suck...And God heard the voice of the lad.

Wolf better be good, or it will be ugly.
I will walk out.
Just can't see Dave doing this unless it's amazing.
I have a feeling this is going to explode in a good way.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

I could care a less about the background vocals to be honest...
it just makes me physically ill that after Ed putting the fucking shaft to everyone for the past 11 years (and I should count all the years after 1985)...
when IT COULD HAVE BEEN HUGE...
I mean...for fuck sake...if that fucking hip motherfucker would have just shut the fuck up...
Van Halen would have reunited 11 years ago...
still with prime years left...
so...
11 years later...dED waves his hand, like the Crown Prince of runny shit...and makes it happen...
dED waves his hand...and Dave is back in...
dED waves his fucking hand...and Mike is out...
dED waves his fucking hand...and HIS SON IS IN!!!
You are damn right I have issues with that...
I swear to christ...we should fucking sue Van Halen for the name...and the rights to the name...
It belongs to us...more than them..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I wasn't kidding when I posted that...
I posted a thread about it a few months ago...
If I owned the name Van Halen...
I guarantee you that in a year's time...WITHOUT A TOUR...
THIS SITE...would have the name respected again..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I still think Shemp had a bigger say in Roth not joining than Ed.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

I don't care what Shemp said...
had Ed told him to shut the fuck up...
that would have been the end of it...
and I actually believe that Alex and Dave are the ones that have remained in moderate contact over the years...for whatever reason...
Dave and Alex have said as much..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment
