Thanks For The support!!
First of all, I hope all of you are having a great Summer!! I want to thank everyone for all the support you're shown me during the past months. I'ts all been pretty crazy, and I just wanted to bring you all up to speed. Alot of you have been asking about the upcoming Van Halen tour and my response to it. It's not that I'm not touring with Van Halen because I'm going out with Sammy, I'm going out with Sammy because I was not invited to do the VH tour.
Sammy told me that if I was asked to be part of the VH tour and decided to do it, it would be totally cool, and it would not tarnish our friendship in the least!! Well it's not to be, and life goes on. I'll still be out there with Sam, and I can't wait to do some partying with all of you. One last note from myself to all the Van Halen fans out there who will be attending their shows...Wolfgang is a great kid, so don't judge him too harshly. I'm sure he'll do just fine!!....See you all soon,

Mike

I just wonder how can you not like a guy like that!

Man, the high road he's taking is even higher than his backup vocals, and they're pretty dang high!

Like I said earlier in this thread, whether you respect his playing or not you gotta respect him as a person. Very classy guy.

OMG yeah! I was never a big fan of his, but the stance he has taken in all of this has been HUGE. I am so immensely impressed with his ability to take the high road.

Definite kudos to MA. Still won't give the VH brothers a penny, but I'm impressed nonetheless. I most likely WILL buy tix for MA and Hagar if they visit locally, however.

The way he handles himself in the press is cordial and polite. Based on what we can know about the Van Halen situation, he seems to be a very nice, polite and reliable person - a gentleman and a professional. Again, I'd be surprised to learn that he actually did something to cause such treatment by the brothers VH.

I'd be happy to have a beer with him any time. He seems like a good guy.
So I guess you could say he just acts like a BASSIST then

You can almost imagine MA at the top of the hill hitting a low B with a big stack and a pair of subwoofers, moments before the mudslide hit Eddie's house...
