It's Official - Michael's out and Wolfgang is in

[NealIsGod]

This may be the closest thing to Mikey playing in classic Van Halen that you will ever see again:

MICHAEL JAMS WITH THE ATOMIC PUNKS
POSTED: 11/07/06

Mike got up on stage with the Atomic Punks at a private party for the fine folks at Yahoo! recently. The fearsome foursome ripped through a bevy of VH tunes including "Panama," "Hot For Teacher," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," "Dance The Night Away," "Everybody Wants Some!!" "Feel Your Love Tonight," "You Really Got Me," "Jamie's Cryin'," "Runnin' With The Devil" and "Unchained."

See Mikey's website for pics: http://www.madanthonycafe.com/news.html

Also, here's a link to an Atomic Punks video - check these guys out (if you haven't already):

I'd rather see these guys with Michael Anthony than I would classic Van Halen without him.

MA's involvement with The Other Half and doing stuff like this is probably the main reason Eddie is being a dick to him.

I agree. For the longest time, seems Eddie had Mike convinced that he couldn't do anything but Van Halen. Thanks to Sammy, Mike started "getting out". And I think that's why Eddie is pissed at him...because Mike doesn't NEED him to have a job anymore.

No question.
1 person who I'd have a lot of faith in, as far as being able to convice VanGrudgeHolder that the reunion w/ Dave can't be complete w/out Mikey:

Sammy Hagar.
Might be how it goes down.

But don't they hate each other now? Whe would Ed listen to him?

No...they don't hate each other. Eddie may hate Sammy, or at least be pissed at him (for some reason) . But, I think Sammy only has frustration towards Eddie...just from watching a good friend go down the shitter because of his addictions. I think if Eddie could possibly pull his head out of his ass for one minute, he might see that Sammy is probably the best real friend he ever had.

[Voyager]

Eddie only hates people until he needs them. Then they become his friend again for a while until the tour is over. Eddie liked being able to control Mikey. Now that Mikey has moved out from under the authority of the VH brothers, Eddie is whining about it.

Eddie needs to grow up. He's acting like a little kid.

[VH101]

And then there's Alex...

He's always seemed to be the "level-headed one." I wonder how Al feels about the whole thing. Since he's rarely quoted, it'd be cool for him to intervene and say, "Listen, Ed, we need Mike if we're going to be doing any classic stuff!"

[Voyager]

Is this really what we want to see in 2007?

[NealIsGod]

Ugh. Ridiculous!

[VH101]

Oh my! I don't think Dave would wear the same shirt Sammy would!

I lost my lunch when I saw that. I needed a good laugh, my laptop however now needs a good cleaning.

[BRETT5150]

Voyager, I agree with everything you said about Eddie before. He just loves using people. ......
Alot of people will agree with me that VH died the same day Ed Leffler died. That was christmas 1993. After that, the wheels and the safety net just dissapeared. Between 1986 and 1993 VH were the best band in the world, and they were smiling and they were the greatest friends. Now all we get is bullshit.
If Wolfie is in as they say........I dont know how I'll feel. VH have become a joke.

[Voyager]

It is a joke for sure.

[Just Mindy]

OMG

Don't know whether to laugh or cry

[NealIsGod]

Don't know whether to laugh or cry

PERFECT name for this tour.

I think if Eddie could possibly pull his head out of his ass for one minute, he might see that Sammy is probably the best real friend he ever had.

The way I see it, Sammy would go into such a head session w/ VanStubborn with no other agenda than to make the Dave reuinion complete w/ Mike's inclusion.
He'd be going into the conversation(s) as a fan of the original lineup, which he is, knowing he's at peace with his VH legacy. Given that, that there should be no perceived personal hidden agenda Eddie should take heed.

True. But, it'll be really hard for Eddie to hear anything, unless he pulls his head out of his ass.

[ltbob]

Ed always says he doesnt care what people think. No Mike,no vh.

[WardyS3]

Okay so I am all for the nostalgia trip, DLR back yeah fine enjoy. But this STINKS!

Mikey has yet again been kicked in the ass, and this time simply because after all these years of loyalty he chose to speak the truth (recent highlights posted at melodicrock a few months back from magazine interview where he made several admissions including the one about the pay cut) AND ALL BECAUSE MIKEY SIDED WITH SAMMY JOINING HIM ON TOUR AND KICKING ON WITH HIM DURING THE VH TOUR!. Who gives a shit if they called themselves the other half of VH!? Eddie Van Halen may well remain one of my favourite guitarists but this latest act confirms him for me one of my least favourite people in the business. GROW UP! And I couldn't care less about Wolfgang and I don't give a shit how good he is. It's not about talent it's about loyalty. Shame on Ed. Wolfgang should stand on his own two feet and listen to the fans that care about this, tell his old man to go get Anthony or go get screwed! Have some respect for Fsake!

Watch for the next step. Bring in the coin for the DLR fronted tour then...
Van Halen for the next Rock Ass INXS trip. Money money money...
I've had my rant and said my piece - Pathetic!

[johnroxx]

I think I'd rather see the Genesis reunion in 2007 than VH.

Yep...no-brainer there.

;^)

[daltonsdad]

They probably gonna use Steve Augeri to do the backing vocals
Serious it sucks Mike is not there

What the hell are they thinking? Wolfie gonna help write some songs about LIFE? LOL! Do you think the Mike thing is in retaliation for hanging and playing with Sammy all winter in Cabo?

Maybe Sam Mike & Dave can recruit a great guitarist and a drummer and hit the road although the Van Halen Guitar & Drum sounds are very unique! I'd go if they hit the road! Maybe pick up Joe Satriani and Bonzo JR!

Maybe Sammy and Mad Mike need to call up Schon and Castranovo now that Journey is getting a short break
and jam out a Planet Us album just 'because they can'

[BRETT5150]

I Cant even look at my right arm anymore. Its got the VH logo and the 1984 cover underneath with 5150 written across the top. This is a shocking way to treat us.
