          Not cool, taking a guy's beer like that. Well, as long as Osama doesn't have it.

            Osama..I think that dude is dead..just a hunch.

            I could be wrong, but I hope not.

              The tree doesn't fall far from the nut. It's true, and if you're smart you'll run away from where it falls, but that doesn't always happen. This interview is proof that the tree falls on the nut.

                Ed said Mike was in another band. He can't play in 2 bands at once. Like that hasn't been done before!

                  >> ...and just talk thru his songs really..without the high dynamics range..his singing style is not far from "talking".

                  Oh, I thought you were talking about Stephen Pearcy.

                  I haven't heard *every* Ratt song, but I swear the 12 or so I *have* heard, Pearcy is just talking - no notes actually sung.

                    I just hope they can get 'ole Mike for some of the shows at least.

                      I'm sorry, but a get together without MA is like Van Hagar for VH purists.

                            If there is a tour, and in my mind thats a very big if, the tour will be lucky to see 25 out the 50 dates, if that.

                            The youtube interview is pure propaganda.

                            All I can say is, they better be very selective where the show dates will be
                            because alot of people will be ready to beam little wolfie.
                            Its not right, but even so, its a no brainer little wolfie is gonna get hit.
                            There are many diehard VH fans that will show up for that reason only.
                            Its not a real reunion to them because Mikes absent, but to get a chance to bomb wolfie, well enough said.
                            Peace, Love and Happieness and all that stuff...

                            I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.

                            Yes, there's a bee in the pudding.

                                Exactly..How long was Mike supposed to waite, even if the band was in positive productive posistion.

                                I think Mike deserves batter than this, considering he prolly put alot of things on hold (personal and buisness) for a very long time as a loyal member of VH.

                                Ed was a mess health wise and unstable for the obvious reasons. everything was uncertain and in a bad place,,cain't blame him for hooking up with a friend/bandmate in that camp and go what he does best..have fun, make music and tour. Mike was buying bought his time , passed on who knows what for years on end..for what..to be replaced by Ed's kid.

                                No, he was punished for being the most stable person in the band..makes sense to me.

                                Don't sell Mike short because "he's just the bass player". Mike is one of the most solid players in the Rock world IMO!

                                His contribution to the style, sig and sound of Van Halen is just as significant as Steve is to Maiden , Geezer to Sabbath, Jones to Zep, Bruce to Cream, Squire to Yes, Lee to Rush, Gene to Kiss..and so on..None of whom would be the same without.
