Ed Makes MIkey relinquinsh any claim to VH

**kevohman** · 06.09.06, 12:16 AM

Its all there in Melodicrock.....What a load of BS....
At this point Ed can take his name and his band and play ukes or accordians , or maybe even tubas....I couldnt care less....
If any future reunions dont include MA...I wont be buying a ticket....
and I for sure wont buy any new recordings without Mikey....
Hope you got all the money you need Ed....because I'm done giving you mine
Enjoy being a lonely drunk bastard and owning your name.
I used to think EVH was the coolest guy in the world, now I just think hes a bitter ass.....
Enjoy the money ED....soon it will be all you have left

Ok....so its a repost.....I didnt see any other titles like it when I posted it....
didnt think to look under another new interview....had to express how disgusted I am at the greed of the mighty VH brothers....
So....if this is a repeat post....I beg forgiveness

Oh well, the reality is, there is no Van Halen anymore. Too bad for us.

Enjoy the memories guys

Maybe Eddie should get together w/Axl Rose to fore the most dysfunctional band in rock 'n roll history...

Question to all -- who f'd up their band more Eddie or Axl????

It is just a shame what happened to both Van Halen & G 'N R....

It's sad how a guy (Eddie) who everyone loved has turned into such a prick. To treat Mike that way is really unbelieveable. Mike has stuck with the band and all of the drama and changes just seems to go with the flow. It's really a shame that Ed treats him that way and I'm really suprised that Alex goes along with this, maybe he's part of it. It's really a shame what this band has turned into. It's appears Ed gets pissed off if other members of the band does anything outside of VH, but he can go out and do what ever he wants. What an asshole.

If what Mike says is true, and I have no doubt that it is, Eddie is a dick!!
Mike is saying that Eddie did NOT want hime to be part of the "reunion" tour,
due to his relationship with Sammy...but, the "reunion" was WITH Sammy!!!?!!
Does this make sense to anyone??...Sammy was good enough to get back together with,
but Mike isn't due to his connection with Sammy?!?

Eddie is a piece of shit!!

I'm not apologizing for Eddie, but I think there's much more to this story than anyone outside the VH camp even has a clue about. Yeah, Eddie appears to have become a bitter prick, and Mike only made a small fortune off the reunion tour. Do I feel sorry for a multi-millionare who is semi retired at 50 years old? No.....Mikes a big boy and appears to have gotten over it, shouldn't we?

Edward always said MA did not contribute to the band and was making money off of the Van Halen name
Old news

Without Mike, VH will be old news.

This looks very bad for ANY type of VH reunion.

**ziggysmalls** · 06.09.06, 07:46 AM

I don't feel sorry for anybody who got 25% writing credits on every VH song outside of the three on BOBW. Considering that he only played bass on half of the songs since 5150 that is not a bad gig.

"Hey Mike can you show up and do backgrounds?....oh yeah here is your check for $1,000,000."

Tough Life. I know Eddie is a prick but lets not feel bad for poor old Mikey. He has done pretty good off his relationship with EVH.

**gabby gabbster** · 06.09.06, 07:49 AM

Ok..so Mike can sing those high parts really well. But what else has he really contributed? What if Ed played the same 12(t)0-5-8 line from Eruption over and over in every single solo?
I realize Mike is part of the classic sound that is VH and he deserves credit for it. But I think we should all take this with a grain of salt because we don't know the whole story..especially when Ed hasn't said anything recently. We've only gotten Mike and Sam's side of the story. Too many people jump on the "Eddie is a prick" bandwagon and we don't even know these guys.

Mike would've contributed where ever needed...but, he was NOT allowed to!!
Yeah, Mike is making money and is getting SOME credit...but, this WAS a band...from the beginning...
ALL members contributed to their success...but, it's only taken one drunken, stubborn, control-freak fucker to destroy it!!

**Greenpaw** · 06.09.06, 08:10 AM

I must have missed the part where it said we are supposed to feel sorry for Mike?

I say good for Mike, if that's the direction Ed wants to go that's his business, but Mike is healthy and wants to play music and have fun and he's doing just that.

But IMO, there will be NO REUNION with either singer if Mike ain't there. Especially Dave, he knows the importance of a FULL CVH reunion.
