Which song do you think features the best background vocals from Mike? I think Jamie's Cryin' is probably one of his best.

Summer Nights and On Fire....and I just wanna say last night at 8 o'clock they played a fourfer of "old school Van Halen" it starts with "Mean Street" then fuckin "On Fire"!!!!! then "Take Your Whiskey Home" "Drop Dead Legs" and they add one more..."Dance The Night Away"! But I shit my pants when I heard "On Fire" on the radio I actually had to go into a Friendlys Restroom and wipe myself!

Actually my favorite Mike backin' vocal song is an unreleased song, "Put On The Lights". Love the parts "Fast Eddie...get it ready and "Sexy Sadie, sittin' waiting"

Mike IS the shit no doubt. He vocal's on MWM are pretty burly as well as all the other tunes everone mentioned. Mikey is another reason why Van Halen is so original. We love ya Mikey! Out
