    Mikey:

    I think some of us give Mikey too much shit, I mean come on.... I don't think it really matters to him who is singing for the band, this cat just likes to play live and make music.... A true musician if you will.

    I can honestly say that if I were him, I'd still be there too....

    Just my 2 cents:

        Yeah, Mikey likes to play, I can dig that. My question is why does he seem so suck ass-ish to the VH brothers? Does he really need them that much?

          I don't think he needs them really.... But I don't think he's a push over like we all think he is either.... He went on tour with Dave and Sam, and that pissed VH off. But then again he could be.

            Switch I honestly don't think Michael is suck-ass to the brothers... As kc mentioned that perception is just something that was cooked up on the VH boards. One thing I noticed and kept in check when I was in bands was you can only fit so much ego in a room... even in an arena for that matter. Some musicians are just true to their trade and don't get caught up in the drama and soap opera. IMO Mike's had a great gig for the last 30 years... making music and touring the world. Does that say he needs the brothers?? Or is that just Mike's life??

            I'd say the later...

                Say what you will about Mikey, he don't care. He's happy.

                But I bet he wants Roth back.

                      Mike doesn't want Roth back.He told the sister's he won't come back if Roth was. Fuck him. He's into his butt buddy Spammy, not the sister's or Van Halen.He's had a easy ride in Van halen. Besides back up vocals he's useless.

                          Mikey is the luckiest person in the history of rock-n-roll. The reason he stays with these jokers is because he will never get a gig that pays so much and he is too untalented to da anything solo.

                            Whatever, Mike has some killer chops on bass.... He's not about the flash, he's about being in the pocket. Say what you will about him, but if any of you were offered his life, I'll bet you'd jump at the chance.
