Members bassesofalessergod Posted August 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 Why do you think it is a travesty? VH replaced Michael Anthony with his son on the cover of VH1 on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayer7770 Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 Are you talkin' about the 2nd album cover which is blurry? Oh, never mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bonoman Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 For once I agree with you, BOALG. This is the worst Reunion Tour idea EVER! My money says that they don't make it past six shows before cancelling and/or killing Roth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bonoman Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 VH replaced Michael Anthony with his son on the cover of VH1 on their website. Oh! I thought you were talking about the reunion tour! You're right - this is worse! So, for twice I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitargod0dmw Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 And better yet...he looks to be playing a {censored}ing guitar...not a bass in that pic. Even though on the site, they have him playing a Frankenstein replica bass thing... I'm losing more respect for these guys as the days go on.

Members walkerci Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 VH replaced Michael Anthony with his son on the cover of VH1 on their website. I understand now. That is a huge insult to Anthony. The man played with the band for years and he deserves respect for his accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayer7770 Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 I understand now. That is a huge insult to Anthony. The man played with the band for years and he deserves respect for his accomplishments. Not to mention his Yamaha sig bass kicks massive ass!

Members bassesofalessergod Posted August 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 Meh, what has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? i'm a huge DLR-era VH fan..... I've been looking forward tothis inevitable re-union for over 20years. Now i have no interest in it. This is a bass forum and this is easily the most newsworthy bass issue out there right now.

Members Ender_rpm Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 Embarassing? How so? Regardless, its like Lucas replacing thr crusty old white dude at the end f Jedi with the young guy in th enew movies. It just chips away at the happy memories you've built. Its a thoguhtcrime is what it is, re-writing history. Wolfgang plays bass in Van Halen. Wolfgang has always played bass in Va Halen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I completely understand all of your points and I empathize with your position. However, VH belongs in the past like many other acts. Anything those assclowns do at this point beyond disappearing into obscurity just tarnishes their legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stage performance was like watching really, really bad acting. And his bass "solo". Staggering around like he's drunk while banging the JD bass on the stage before ultimately pulling a JD miniature from a compartment in the bass and hoisting it to crowd as to declare victory. Lamest {censored}ing thing I've ever witnessed. And I've seen them back in the day when they didn't do this kind of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catphish Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 where is the pic on the right from? On their website everything I see is the one on the left, which I assume is Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted August 16, 2007 Members Share Posted August 16, 2007 You could have just stopped with "Bass Solo". MA is a great guy, and a solid rock bassist, but giving him a solo is just.... well it makes no damn sense. He's not Marcus Miller now is he?
