"I told them I didn't want to work with Dave and I wouldn't wanna tour with him. Musically we're pretty much evolved a lot more than Dave. We tried to do a new album with him and his ego just wouldn't let it happen." - Mike Anthony
Now you know why Wolfgang is the bassist in Van Halen.
Oh my...and to think I was looking for a musical reason to continue my fanhood of Van Halen's real bass player. At least he can sing! Terrible solos, always. The bass IS a real instrument. This thing looks like something outta mission control. NOT a representation of bass players, or bass solos.
Exceptional bass player. They never should have kicked him out, not saying that Wolfgang is bad or anything but Mickey is really good. Keep the thunder rolling.
Why is everyone saying this sucks? He said he played bass because he wanted to blow peoples pants off! And here hes just using his 100,000 watts he had and just fuken BASHING his bass. Live this solo prbly took your soul away. Badass if you ask me
I'm not speaking ill of anyone. But honestly I just don't like all those effects on a bass. When Van Halen were playing it straight, I thought Mr. Anthony was great. I love the sound of a Rock trio.
Jesus, this is some weak-ass shit. Eddie must have been climbing the walls backstage waiting for this amateurish noodling to end. I love Michael Anthony for his contribution to the rhythm section and his amazing backup vocals, but his "solos" were a joke.
I'd like to see that duet too. But only because it would make geddy look fucking amazing. It would be like a super hotchick hanging out with a dumb fat girl who wears too much makeup.

This was the part of the show where you ran to the john...loved Mikey, but his bass solo was just painful to watch and hear.
