I never heard that one. A little more pointed speak from Mike...more like his interview from oversees.

I wish the interviewer would have shut the hell up...he cut Mike off twice where Mike was going to keep talking...

VH = DONE

Hey, cool..he comes to the Van Halen forums every day...he has to be talking about here, right?

Probably. He is likely one of us too, incognito.

This site is best overall.

It just makes you sick to hear it.

Mike rules. Can you even imagine how much patience it took to put up with all the crap all this time? How long did it take him to get fed up with it? YEARS. None of us would have lasted half as long.

God, I hope he doesn't go to the Army. We're much more civil over here. Usually.

Notice Mikey sais he'd "never go out on stage and make fun of the band or do a parody of it." I wonder if he was referring to Sammy's tactics cuz that is precisely what Sammy has been doing all fuckin summer.

Mikey is as straight up as one could ask of him.

Two words!

1. Blue
2. Grass

If that ain't parody....

Sounded to me that the interview was chopped up into soundbites...

It was. One can hear the edits at the beginning and throughout.

Often these "interviews" are performed by others, then cut into pieces. The "DJ" simply speaks in the alloted gaps to provide the "illusion" of an actual interview taking place.

If he was referring to Sammy he would be a hypocrite. Mikey was with Sam!
Doesn't seem like that would be very straight up to me.

Mike is the coolest dude around.

I just wish HE would give Ed a call, and get together, go eat, say what they have to say, clear their differnces and get back to kick ass.

We all know that Ed is on a different world right now, but he also said HE was open for anything.

Even though we all know Ed will release his solo album, in the end, it's VAN HALEN the band what WE FANS want.

I just hope he reads this FORUMS and know that we love him, and that we want to see him with VAN HALEN not with The Other Half.

WE LOVE YA MIKEY, KEEP ENJOYING LIFE!!!

That's a tuff call cuz Mikey was just on stage. Did he actually say anything or just stand there while Sammy "made a parody," of Van Halen's Summer Nights.

No Respect and unconscionable. If that ain't crossing the line than what is?
