Great job kids! your hard work paid off. And, I hope you realize how lucky you are to have shared a stage with MA.

Michael has always been a class act, and even though I love Eddie, it's a shame that he seems to be a shitty person. VH - Mikey = not VH.

MA was the secret weapon of VH. His solid bass playing held down the fort allowing EVH to do his thing. His amazing backup vocals covered DLR ass countless times live. He's a class act all the way. I've never heard anyone ever say anything bad about MA. How many people can claim that? When all the shit about Van Halen dumping him for EV's son for the reuinon tour MA carried himself with class and dignity.

@gjralaska That is because the camera operator is a rookie.

Unfortunately the camera operator never showed that young girl shredding the lead on this song. MA complimented her at the end saying how difficult it is to play Eddie Van Halen.  She is the blond who walks past him at the end.

i don't know.....um...I guess I meant that kid is better at playing guitar....or...if he's the kid I'm thinking of

[chrismanmiller13]

that kid that's singing is better when he's playing the guitar.....but...whatever

[hypersonic1990]

i agree with you sir

Being a parent of one of the kids in the show, I was at the show. Michael Anthony is a quality guy. He was very generous with his time staying for pictures with the kids and signing autographs. It was an absolutely amazing experience for the kids.

MA is the best background vocalist in the f'in history of rock. Don't ever underestimate the importance of this skill. It's a totally different animal than singing lead. It requires a fine ear, instant perfect judgment, and better pitch than the lead vocalist. Yeah he's a damn solid bassist too, but VH would not have stood out as well throughout their careers were it not for MA's soaring b-vox, which in my opinion, was just as integral to their sound as Eddie's virtuoso guitar playing.
