Did Michael Anthony play bass on every classic Van Halen song?

[SNIPER]

Thanks for posting that vid Chef. I needed a good, delightful bowel movement and that really helped fill the bill!

Thats what I call some fire in the hole,

There must be some kind of way that we can make it right. (uh, no)

[SNIPER]

I honestly can not decide what is the least painful to observe here. Is it (in no discernible order):

1. Alex Van Halen's neck brace
2. Gary Cherone's tuneless, off-key and Clorox gargled vocals
3. Edward Van Halen's dubious and somewhat questionable choice of clothes from the JC Penny's catalog
4. The astoundingly awkward difficulty that Michael Anthony is having playing EVH's bass parts?

How long can this go on? Not very long // Tell me what is wrong? ..You guys suck with Cheri and this album is LAME.

I'm gonna go with the off key Clorox gargled voice of Cherone for most painful of the 4 options. Sadly, I think I had that shirt Ed's sporting. I still feel sorry for the good people of Australia for being served this incarnation live.

OMG I remember seeing this live, I was so disturbed by the way Cheri was acting.

I have been injecting my fingers with fat 3 times a day. After that I get two super size fries to wear as gloves for a couple hours before practice. I strive to be the best bass player ever.

[Zing!]

Yep. Where it is known for certain that he played bass on a VH recording is the shitty '04 Best of Both Worlds new songs. The aweful It's About Time is basically Ed doubling every single guitar part to the T. Same thing he did with Cherone VH's Without You. Booooorrrriinnnnggg.

Oh yeah, forgot about those three 'bonus' tracks.

Like the rest of the free world.

KISS came up with the Psyco Circus. Van Halen 3 came up with the Sucking Circus. Nice circus ring and clothes Eddie. Is that a coral snake hanging out of your guitar?

That album jacket pissed me off. it was them all trying to show how much fun they were having as a band messing around & stuff. I didnt buy it for a second.

Ouch. Painful knowing I'll never get that 6:15 of my life back...

That's awful .... That's the worst vh cover bandever ... It's like a bag of cats

Exactly. If you want to gauge Ed's ability on bass, you need only listen to Haggar's crap-fest or the Cherone debacle, if you have the stomach for either.

I've said it before and I say it again now - one of the first things we KNOW for sure that Ed played bass on was that Hagar solo album around 1986. For me, the guy was simply not a bass player on the evidence of that - the bass playing on that album stood out to me as a guitar player trying to play bass.
