While I can appreciate the sentiments from Valerie...
it doesn't excuse the way that Anthony was treated in 2004....and the way he was basically legally written out of VH, just to be a part of that tour. For that alone, you can take all of the good vibes that Bertinelli will try to sprinkle on this thing and wipe your ass with it.
If it was a case that EVH couldn't get along with any bass player and that Wolf was the only one that he could live with....then, yeah, ok. But to force MA to write himself out of VH royalties just to be a part of the tour...and during the tour, ban him from spending even 2 seconds to answer questions (i.e. not promote, but simply respond) about his hot sauce, was truly despicable....it doesn't matter who's playing bass for VH, MA's jettison was bile inducing.
This doesn't even touch the fact that VH, vocally, sounds like a bad roth solo album, with MA....
