To Michael Anthony!

Hey Mike hope you are great and that everything's cool with you and your family, we at the VHFORUMS know that you come visit us every now and then, just hope you read this.

PLEASE try to work things out with Eddie and Alex, a REUNION without you would be a shame.

Long Live MAD ANTHONY!!!

It would not be a reunion without all of the members, Mikey included.

Without Mikey, it's just different VH lineup.

That is all.

AGREED

Could this be the reason that Mike was a no-show for Sams 2 shows this weekend?

Could be...maybe his daughters had a soccer game or something. Or maybe the wife said "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Saucetards unite!

p.s. I'm still going without him...hell MA might even buy a ticket!

Mike's always been the invisible glue that held the band together. If Mike and Sam were "The Other Half", and VH tours without Mike and without releasing new material, they will have to be "The 75%".

**VanBlu** · 10.26.06, 01:06 PM

If it was me, I wouldn't do it. They've treated him like total shit for the last 4-5 years and I'd be over it. If Ed called and asked I myself would tell him to fuck off, but that's just me.

United. But not the part about still going without Mike.

Just a question. Was Mike ever advertised for these shows? If not, how could that make him a no-show?

you really think valerie would allow her son to go a full blown tour. doubt it.

mikey or its not van halen.

**perticelli** · 10.26.06, 01:19 PM

Mike will be there. 100%. write it down.
Nothing else makes sense and no closure, which is the 2nd of only two reasons ed is doing this.
Well, possibly 3 reasons.

Try millions of reasons. I don't care though...bring it on. Even though I don't think Mikey is Jesus like some people around here, I really would like to see him in this reunion.

No mike, NO VH

**Lodewijk** · 10.26.06, 01:47 PM

All of these guys are ten years past being able to sound like old VH anyway, with or without Mikey.

I've got the impression that we'll NEVER see that band again ! Sad as it is.............you all know it too, you're just like me......with a big fat case of VH denial !

That, my friend, is the wisest thing said today thus far. Those expecting to relive the UsFest simply because Dave and Ed are onstage together again are going to be disappointed. Time changes all things.

However, I must admit, the prospect of Me Wise Magic live does titillate.
