Mike has been a busy guy. Too bad he's not in the studio with Van Halen. Too bad Van Halen is not in the studio!

Good to see he will be out in the fresh air. They really keep that site updated over there...

Actually, I'm surprised they could track one of these basses down, seeing as how they're probably just FLYING off the store shelves.

Yep - it's almost astonishing Mikey's webmaster is Brad!

Well then.......I guess I will be on my way over there to see if I can meet Mikey. Wish me luck. If I get any pictures, I will be sure and share with everyone.

Way to be rxman [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] Ask that fat fuck about what he said in January. "We will be hearing something soon" or something to that effect.

[Markymark]

Hmmmm! Interesting! If Mikey has time to be in AZ attending car shows, I suspect that Van Halen has no immediate plans for recording, releasing or planning an up coming tour. Just a thought!

[hellohawk]

Well, looks like Dave and Mike are getting on with their lives. Maybe someday Ed and Alex will too.

How does Mikey have time for this appearance when VH were apparently supposed to be touring "this fall"? Remember him saying that? What's his answer going to be now? Spring?

[JWS_5150]

Remember, Mike never specified the year. He only specified the season.

He could've meant Fall 2005 for all we know. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Rikk]

Now now, JWS_5150, give them some time to get things together. 2005? That's a lot of pressure. How's Fall 2008 sound? After all, the boys need their rest. [img]graemlins/sleep.gif[/img]

sweet!!! I work in Scottsdale, and live close by...guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow night.

If it's appropriate, I'll ask him about the band, that way I can come back and give you guys the same old answer

[TrapZZ]

well don't i suck :-\ I was in a meeting that ran late and I couldn't make it there in time. I even bought a remastered VH II cd for him to sign

not that I would have found out anything special, but still... sorry guys that I didn't get a chance to try
