I don't think I've seen this anywhere and I don't know why it only just crossed my mind now. Probably in light of Mike's first-class handling of the RRHoF induction, anyway...
From all the accounts I've heard/read, it seems like even Mark Stone was fired in person. Yet Mike, who's contibuition to the band was invaluable, finds out that he's fired through the media??? Let alone replaced by an unproven 16-year old???
What a classless, cowardly, not to mention scumbag, move. No wonder Ed, Al and Dave didn't show up for the RRHoF induction. They weren't man enough to face Mike!

now that's a funny post, yeah that's probably why Mike and Sam both thanked Ed, Dave and Al.

You don't even get an argument out of the Ed/Dave suckers for this part. Fuckin jackoffs. Otis, you are also right about the other douches not being man enough. It's funny to hear Ed talk about kicking someones ass. I've got 3 sisters, anyone of whom could mop the floor with that little fucker!
EDDIE IS THE ULTIMATE ROCK DOG!

You got it wrong. As last night's show proved, it's MIKE who fired Ed and Al from VH. He now IS Van Halen all by himself! :D

I think Mike handled it very well and intelligently. He's going to go on with his life knowing that Eddie will eventually call and apologize as part of his recovery process.
I believe the whole mess of the last few months (and a few others from years past) will be cleared up when Eddie gets out of rehab. He screwed up a lot of things and he will have to make peace with his band mates before the band can continue. At this point, I don't care what form VH takes, as long as Eddie cleans up.
I'm sorry, but I am glad Mike is out. He never fit in this band anyway and his contributions are largely over exaggerated. He isn't even a mediocre bass player and he is pretty much a dork. Nice guy and all but he would be better suited in a band like Europe or white lion or some poppy shit like that. Van Halen is a darker blend than his personality. He would make a good janitor:p

I'm sorry, but I have to ask.....
Have you ever listened to any Van Halen??

All of it. Ed should just play the bass and pre-record it and hire Mike as a back up singer. He really sucks at bass, sorry man but it's the truth. I have met him twice and he is a total dork.

Yea, OK......You've listened to Van Halen.......But you can't hear it.....

I have heard it all man,I just don't like Mike, never have. You can't honestly say he is even a "good" bass player. I know he is the fan favorite and all but he is just the fat guy in Van Halen where a bass player should be to me. I look forward to whoever plays bass next. Even Dave recognized that he was not a necessary component for a reunion and was willing to go out with Wolfie on bass and that is saying a lot.

I can honestly say that MA managed to hold onto his job as a bass player in one of the greatest American rock and roll band of all time....alongside of one of the greatest guitar players ever to grace an arena.....and....somehow, despite his failings.... and the last time I saw him, he was being inducted into the Hall of Fame.....and is involved in project called "Chickenfoot", which includes a drummer who knows a thing or two about "good" bass players.....
Yea....he sucks.....it's a goddamn miracle he even made a living at it....:rolleyes:

Stirring the pot is so passe'.
Get some new material if you're gonna try to work people up.
I know who you are. :)

Damn.....and I fell for it....hooked me like a big fat tuna.....:brickwall
I'm starting to see the signs now......1 post, then jump right in making shit-disturbing statements.....
Bonzo....if your not an alias......a word of advice from a recent newbie.....cruise around a little...get your feet wet, before you pop off and call Michael Anthony "just the fat guy in Van Halen"....mmmmk..
If you are an alias.....please just kindly fuck off...:smokin:
He would make a good janitor:p
Well it isn't hard to guess what you do for a living.
And that's not to say you're a janitor. Janitor in training, I would guess.

That tag didn't last very long. Here's a tip. Try being less subtle next time. :sssh:
