Members The Evil Dr. X Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Originally posted by BAZGUITARMAN I`m going to skip this whole new chapter in the ever sinking VH saga. This is just sad. These guys always will be one of my faves, but they insult every fan with the way they do things now. It`s all about $$$$ now. Just like KISS with the reunion tours. I won`t waste my money on this disaster. Eric The thing is, he doesn't owe anybody anything. I am glad he shared his talent with the world and sure everyone is disappointed he didn't continue on, but that was his choice. It is hard to see all the red tape and bull{censored} he had to go through being a rock star. When everyone has their hand in the pot benefiting from his talent, it would tend to make a person bitter, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great investing seperates the haves/have nots in the biz, and Ed had some doozies.Unlike people busting their asses to make a living, or get signed, like lots of "celebs", all he has to do is go away.Stay home and record his scary jazz prog (snore...) crap, release it on the net fo'free! Teach music @ UCLA, or god for {censored}ing bid, do, oh...., er,....Charity work?Next stop-Branson, (or the morgue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedddy Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Van Halen suck ass for kicking out Micahel Anthony. I wouldn't see those lumps of {censored} play if they paid me. Also, its not cool to be in a band with your dad. You're supposed to hate your parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sordid1 Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well I do think it isn't the same without Anthony but if you can replace one instrument and have it not kill the band it's bass (unless you are Primus). IMHO unless they get Roth or Hagar back it's just not going to be good. Lightning rarely strikes twice and it NEVER strikes a third time as Gary Cherone proved. I hope they are good but I need to see it to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevin Pelletier Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Originally posted by leadfootdriver I'm sure he's a great kid, but that's weak. The fans don't wanna see some kid on Bass for a reunion tour. Get MA back, he's 1/3 of the band. You sir are 100% Righhhhhhhhhttttttt It has to be Michael Anthony or it may just suck or will it.??? Ed still needs to get his chops back on par , and maybe his drinking ??? Although this could be very , very interesting . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Maxx61 Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 Few, if any, outside of the VH inner circle know what the band is sounding like these days, so why not simply wait to hear 'em and THEN make a judgement. All this conjecture about this upcoming tour without MA makes about as much sense as looking at an ultrasound and telling the world how cute your baby is. You won't know until you see it.

I would imagine the kid can pull it off just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because VH are assholes. kicking out michael anthony was an assholish move on their part. i don't care how good they are. i don't listen to music that is performed by assholes.

I also didnt see anything in his playing on the xxx vids that impressed me either. I think he forgot his own formula for success. He might be better off going out on a solo piano tour, seriously.

Members bigt Posted December 15, 2006 Members Share Posted December 15, 2006 It's not just the musician you have to replace on the bass, but the harmonies as well. I don't know, but I doubt little Wolfy can harmonize like MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about that aspect of it I was just saying that musically I don't think it would change much. I thought it was crap that they outed Anthony but that wasn't the point of this I was adressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Deceptively simple" is what I'd call Michael Anthony's bass playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily play Michael Anthony's bass parts and do all his backup vocals and my Dad aint a guitar god. I bet he can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
