Your position is consistent on that, but that's not the case with a lot of the sheepocrites over at Links.

But 3/4 doesn't always equal 3/4. Mike's role in the band wasn't equal to Dave's. Or to Sammy's, for that matter. We all know who wrote the songs and it wasn't Alex or Mike. So Dave & Eddie & Alex are a much bigger 3/4 of the band than Eddie & Mikey & Alex were.

You have been calling

Ed + Al + Mike + (Insert name here) Van Halen
for years..


Time to loosen up and enjoy old fella !

Dude you're just bummed as I am...come on and admit it Marky Mark. Fuck you don't even care about the torch thing YOU came up with.

Ed finally got what he wanted for a long time, he got Mike out.

I feel bad for Mike.

[Brett]

Ed waited for the big payday and sent Mike to the curb. I'd say he got even . And because why, Mike likes to play music and and not sit at home and drink himself to death?

Absolutely!

I heard from guys who were at Namm that Ed's big issue with Mike was the whole funeral thing with Ed's mom and not so much the Sam and Mike thing.

Well, as AlbertR points out, technically we could fire it up..
Im more excited than dissapointed, especially that VAN HAGAR
can now be buried for good...

But yeah, of course I would be more stoked if it was 4/4..
But this is a way better offering than we have been given
in over 20 years... (Except of course MWM and CGTSNM)

So I have a smile on my face..

Hey, theres always the other half !

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

Other half of what ????????????????

:p

After 30 years, you don't sit and figure out who meant what. Ed's a dick and could have easily included Mike and made everybody happy. Instead, he chose to put his stupid kid in the band.

What about the funeral?

[PlexiBrown]

One thing is for sure....complaining about Mike being out ain't going to change anything....at least not for this tour.

[PlexiBrown]

Mike didn't show at Ed and Al's mom's funeral or even send a card or call Ed and Alex. Even Dave reached out at the time. This is what the guys at NAMM were saying.

[Panamark]

FUCK VAN HAGAR

FUCK THE OTHER HALF

OOOOOH YEAH !!!!


THAT FEELS GOOD

Sing it with me Brenty !!!

I cannot believe that's true. Come on. That would be so out of character for Mike, not even to send a card? I just don't buy that, no way.

What can I say. People can believe it or not believe it. It was tossed around quite a bit at NAMM and I had actually heard this before. The word was that even though Ed wasn't cool with the Other Half thing that it was the funeral thing that really put Mike in Ed's shit house.

Unless you know Michael Anthony personally, I don't think you are qualified to say that. Not that i am, but your denial of the possibility is baffling if in fact you don't know the man or his personal feelings towards the VH brothers.

Don't take this as a flame dude, I'm merely stating that you can't just blow off the possibility that this is true. I have heard this story from a few different sources as well, so I have to believe that where there's smoke, there is usually fire.

If you DO personally know Michael Anthony; then just disregard this entire post.
