Micheal Anthony's role in Van Halen

[Dennis]

I think a more important question right now is what was Mikey's involvement in getting Sam & Dave together. I have a hunch that he was the one who broke the ice between the two....

...MIKE ANTHONY..IS THE SMILE IN VAN HALEN...& he is also the backbone of the band..

Michael Anthony is a HUGE part of what was Van Halen. His vocals are truly awesome. The man has a great set of pipes.

One of the reasons Dave solo playing VH tunes doesn't sound quite right is because no one he's ever had can sing like Michael Anthony.

It's easy enough to get people that can play the same notes on a guitar or do the same drum beats, but you just can't match the human voice. MA is more important to me in VH than Alex is. Alex IMO would be the easiest person to replace.

There have been heaps os stories on this topic. But what is Mike's role in the once mighty Van Halen??

Edward and Alex said his an equal

Sammy and Dave said he is a yes man??

Gary has said nothing because he has no ego!!!

Micheal Anthony is to me a great person. He still to this day loves his van halen fans. The people wana no info, what does he do?? Gets a website, he goes out to Namm and other guitar shows!!!

So why do people get pissed of when he tells us his gona work with Sammy again?? Tell ME!!!

Whats Mike gona do?? Put his finger in his ass and wait for Eddie and Alex?? FUCK NO!!!

His gona go out there and play some tunes with a great friend Sammy Hagar!! If Edward is pissed who cares, at least his man enough to talk to an ex member instead of putting legal shit in front on of it

On ya Mike!!!!
