Sad isn't it? It was strange that he didn't play on the new tracks for the last best of collection, but the gave Hagar writing credit and he also performed on the songs....

It's one thing for Eddie to say "you know, we're not friends anymore and we don't like each other, so I don't want you on tour" It's another to flat out remove someone from your history.

Not at all...
But they still make me want to vomit.
That is just silly using the backing tapes of a guy that you just gave the shaft?! That's insulting. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if his bass parts aren't gonna be used as awell...
the Van Halen brothers are acting like assholes
Michael Anthony's bass parts AND melody vocals MADE most of the songs the great music they are!!
Get over yourselves Al and Ed-the band carries your name but..
wake up c**ks**kers

Yeah MA is doing the right PR thing considering the shafting he's received. If its the truth, good on him for being that much of a man.
Its yet to be seen exactly how much of a vital part he played in the band. It'll be even harder to prove because the odds of them recording again, let alone something that would match the VH heyday are really stacked against them. Personally, I agree his melodies were great but there are plenty of backup singers on this godless planet. Next.

to set everyone straight. anthony barely ever wrote any songs anyways, he would should up and record the bass parts they had written for him. anthony is credited on the first van halen album for songwriting yet the songs were written and performed live many times before michael even joined the band. they had a bass player before anthony. the van halen brothers were being nice and making sure everyone got the same paycheck from an album. i don't here anyone complaining that yoko won't let paul mccartney buy out lennons share of the writing credits for the song "yesterday" since it was proven lennon didn't write any of it

As I said in a different post, his bass lines probably are replacable. His vocals definitely are not. I don't really know what went on between EVH and Mike, but it is easy to see that EVH is about as classless as one can get.

Michael Anthony is all class. As for the VH bros...there's a saying around here - I wouldn't piss on'em if they were on fire.
