@oldschoolHalen Absolutely wrong. He played Bass in a band called Snake previous to VH, and has said in many interviews how his father was a famous musician (polka music) who bought him his first bass and amp at a yard sale while Mike was still in his teens. Your story is probably about someone else.
most ppl dont kno this but when van halen got michael anthony he was a guitarist and they said well if he can play guitar we can take the b and e string off and he can play bass
Not a bad cover by one of my favorite bands - Van Halen. I agree that Alex Van Halen is a good drummer, but he isn't the best of all-time. I'd probably put the drummer from The Who (Keith Moon), the drummer from Rush (what's his name, Neil something), and the drummer from Jimi Hendrix's band above Alex Van Halen.

Here's what this is from.
Ive had this on VHS since 1994.
It was a satellite show for record store buyers shot @ 5150 live in 1993.
It was used to promote the live cd/vhs "RHRN".
The first part of the show was VH taking ?'s from people on the phone.
Then 3 suites came out and talked about the cd and vhs tapes.
Then VH walked into the studio and played 2 songs.
"Dreams" and Won't get fooled again".
I still have the vhs tape but im sure someone has this whole thing on youtube.
