I did like the song Hooligan's Holiday, but yeah it's a totally different sound for Motley.

I wouldn't know if the Motley Corabi album could crush a bug since I never bought it. Heard 1 song and saw the video for it. It wasn't Motley Crue to me. Motley Crue was my 1st concert ever...way way back in 1985 with Loudness opening up. And this wasn't them. Not to me. I didn't want a new band, I wanted Motley Crue.Yeah, you're definitely onto something. Especially given your stance on Motley Crue, when you know deep down in your soul that the Motley album with Corabi fucking CRUSHES anything they did with D.U.I., yet you're gonna sit here on this board and talk shit about how D.U.I is the shit, and can't be replaced?
Are you onto some kind of actual logic here? Or are you onto the deeper side of raw irony?
It's a chess game, dude....every move is critical.
And apparently the majority of fans, the band, and even Corabi himself all realized this as well. Vince isn't "the shit", but no...he can't be replaced and have it still be Motley Crue. If you are trying to get the highest quality musician to take a spot in the band to improve the band, why not just replace all 4 of them? Because it won't be Motley Crue. We clear?
The thing about Michael Anthony....or any other bass player or background singer is the band can still sound pretty much the same without them. It is much easier to mimic & sound like a bass than vocals. The singer is way too much of the sound of a band to be able to change it with very much success. AC/DC is really the only band that comes to mind.
This isn't to be a crack on Mike. Just saying that of the 4 parts of Van Halen, he was the easiest to replace & still keep the sound and feel intact. And reading the recent publication of his interview from 1986 and reading his recent interviews from 2012...it's clear the guy never really liked Dave. Yet Dave has always had pretty decent things to say about the guy.
It's shows a lack of class for Michael Anthony to take shots at Dave.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

The Corabi Crue album smoked. Seriously underrated. That is another case where the band probably should have changed the name, and an example of the opposite-Van Hagar effect, in that both were polar opposites of their original incarnations musically... unlike Van Hagar, the Crue with Corabi.... didn't suck.
And Anthrax was leaps & bounds better without Belladonna.....but it wasn't Anthrax.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Exactly!! "Power To The Music", "Misunderstood", "Poison Apples", "Hammered", " 'Til Death Do Us Part", "Welcome To The Numb", "Smoke The Sky".....seriously heavy motherfuckin' shit, right?The Corabi Crue album smoked. Seriously underrated. That is another case where the band probably should have changed the name, and an example of the opposite-Van Hagar effect, in that both were polar opposites of their original incarnations musically... unlike Van Hagar, the Crue with Corabi.... didn't suck.
I thought the same thing with Poison when they went with Richie Kotzen......just kickass songwriting! That's the way to go!
If "5150" was Van Halens first album, every label in the world would've passed on them. They've all got enough Journey's and Foreigner's and REO's and all the other middle-of-the-road bullshit on their label, they don't need another one, and that's all Van Hagar was...and Mike stuck with them through that. He hung on until they contractually cut his nuts off and made it impossible to be there anymore....THAT'S FUCKED-UP!!
They created a work environment that NOBODY would've put up with, and he bailed.....made him sign away what was rightfully his.....THAT'S FUCKED-UP, TOO!! Especially when he openly admits that he would be there for them in less than a phone call. He found out he was replaced in th press at the same time we all found out he was replaced......THAT'S SOME FUCKED-UP SPINELESS CHEESY BULLSHIT!!!
Unlike his current dipshit failure of a singer, Mikey's choosing to take the high road, and if he's willing to do that, especially what he's been through, then maybe it's good enough for us, too.
I just can't bring myself to say anything bad about Mike, especially when I know that he'd be there in a lightning second. He's just as down for this band as we are, so what's with all the fucking hate??Comment

Hate to be so unsensitive, but really, who really fucking cares what he says??
It's not the printed page......it's all about the ONSTAGE!!
.....and they fucking cooked!, on all cylinders. You're lucky if you get to witness something this fucking badass even once in your lifetime, and they fucking BROUGHT IT!!
VAN HALEN IS:
DAVID LEE ROTH: Vocals
EDDIE VAN HALEN: Guitar
MICHAEL ANTHONY: Bass
ALEX VAN HALEN: Drums
....buckle up or get thrown, bitches!!

LOL! You're going there with it? o.k. then.......
I've already stated my case, if you choose to continue talking shit about him, that's your fucking business, not mine.....
far be it for me to get in the way of what could possibly be yet another dirty fucking lie!!.....
The ball's in your face....err, I meant to say.....your court.

Mike isn't the only one who finds the "we're tired and need to re-charge" excuse lacking... He is a career musician and certainly understands the business end of it.
There's been an indication among industry people that Azoff and his empire assessed the VH 2nd leg which will be competing directly for entertainment dollars in a rotten economy among a busy summer schedule with a lot of double billed big rock acts. With VH returning to several large markets for a second round... it's easy to see that the sales outlook carries a high risk of being low. Why not rather postpone the summer, maybe go off-shore a bit and then return state-side once the other summer tours have sizzled...
To me that makes a heck of a lot more sense than... we're tired..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

So Mike says... "Yeah, I watched itand yeah, that’s Dave. He hasn’t changed a bit."
You consider that a knock..? Sounds more like an acknowledgement to me...
Seems to me the anger should be directed at the media constantly dredging VH commentary from past members. Although how many decades did it take for the press to quit asking McCartney about John/Yoko after the Beatles split up and even after Lennon was dead..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Maybe because it comes just days after the release of the interview where he states:
Dave's ego is too big
Dave's voice sucks and they all had to tune down for him
MA sang more verses live than Dave because Dave was too busy acting a fool
Dave is a hypocrite
Dave was never MA's friend
Dave had to buy all his friends
Dave can't write lyrics
Dave causes the band to play worse
Dave is a homo
and on & on & on & on

You're basing this off of interviews from the 80's & 90's?
Well if that's the case you may as well throw the whole band except Wolfgang out the window. Ed & Al weren't any too kind about Dave in many more past interviews..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment
