Michael Anthony finds out he was fired through word of mouth...

UnbeLIEVable. I'm glad he has a good attitude about it all, though.

MA is top notch. Too bad Eddie isn't. I'd pay to see a stop on the Sam and Mike tour, but I'll never pay to see VH again after the disaster that was the 2004 tour.

It's truly sad when politics and business kill the spirit of why a group of people, who were presumably friends, got together in the first place.

Mike didn't play most of the bass on the records, but his voice is crucial to the Van Halen sound. It's sad. It would have been awesome to reunite the original lineup. People suck. I don't blame Ed, I'm sure he has his reasons. Mike did take the high road in that article. It was the right thing to do.

Really? This is news to you guys? Geez.

Word is that Ed played bass on most everything. I can't confirm that...but I can confirm that he played the bass on "Poundcake". I was at the session.

What a joke the VH legacy has become.

Yes. I got to hang with Al and Ed on a couple of occasions, via a mutual friend.

Thumbs up, he was saying how it is while taking it in stride. It sucks that he had to find out that he was kicked out in the same way that most of us did though.

Wow, those images sum it all up. You'd think Valerie Bertinelli might have the sense to keep her son off this trainwreck, but I guess she's too busy with her diet commercials. I honestly feel bad for the kid. His ignorant father is setting him up for so much ridicule. I thought Mike really handled that well and sounds like he has more concern for Eddie's son than Eddie does.

I'd rather see Anthony and Hagar at this point anyway.
