So This Is Love

So for anyone who doubts Michael's contribution to Van Halen, I have 7 words for you

THE BASSLINE TO "SO THIS IS LOVE"

That's right. 'Nuff said.

I Don't Wanna Hear About It Later

Let's review some of the initial comments to the site.

Oh yeah? Well, here's VH with motherfuckin' Jan Hammer! Put that in yer pipe and smoke it!

This clip features Eddie with his trademark Kramer Baretta and Jan Hammer's trademark male pattern baldness.

"Wolfie is going to have his Motts Apple Juice bass " Then inexplicably mentioned something about Gary Cherone. An era by the way that I still refuse to acknowledge.

"VH without Michael is like eating pasta without olive oil - you don't really think you need it until its not there, and then once you start eating you think, hey, I should have used olive oil. Michael is the Halienest of them all."

Well put! I totally agree.

..I to like many of you jumped out of my socks upon hearing the news that Roth (the man, the myth. and the legend) was back with the mighty V.H. Then like many of you immediately thought "what about Mike?"

That just about sums up my exact feelings. Luis by the way is my brother. As kids I secretly wished we would one day form a band called "Van Galdames".

What About Michael?

So it's happening. Van Halen has decided to reunite with David Lee Roth. Now a few months ago I would have jumped for joy while cranking Fair Warning. I must say that today I was pleased at first, but then somewhat disgusted. Why? Well, a few months back when the ever present rumors where starting to boil up word came from the Van Halen camp that Eddie and Alex where rehearsing for a summer tour WITHOUT MICHAEL ANTHONY!!

It seems that he had been dumped from the band in favor of Eddie's 15 year old son Wolfie. Now nothing against the little dude, but what the hell were they thinking? Do I have to point out the massive (and mostly overlooked) contribution that Mike had on Van Halen? I have started this blog in protest of the "reunion" that will take place this summer.

In the coming months I intend to (and invite all of you) to contribute to this site to uncover why this is such a tragedy. One that true VH fans should not take sitting down.
