to the moron ranking on the 14 yr old kid. You are the one re-writing Van Halen history. The typical brain dead American playing tough guy on the internet. You told all your pathetic cyber tough guy friends you stepped up like a man to insult a kid didn’t you. Thank you for helping me finally understand why americuntz let bush cheney and the other 2-bit crooks take 1/2 your wages then give it to businesses that share profits with them. LOOK UP THE WORD ORIGINAL, VH1 WAS RELEASED IN 78, 7 YEARS AFTER THEY FORMED. i laugh at people who get their info from websites for dummies. WIKIPEDIA IS EDITED BY MORONS LIKE YOU, AND MOST OF ITS WRONG. YOU BELIEVE ROTH ALMOST DIED IN CANADA DONT YOU. BENDING THE DEFINITION OF ORIGINAL TO AVOID LOOKING LIKE THE DOPE YOU ARE, THEN GENE SIMMONS IS PART OF THE ORIGINAL VH ALSO. YOU FIGURE OUT WHY. YOURE AMERICAN AND ITS NOT ON WIKIPEDIA SO YOU WONT KNOW THE REASON. BUT AMERICANS ARENT EXPECTED TO BE AWARE OF TRUTH. YOU ALL BELIEVE BUSHS ECONOMIC ADVISORS THAT SAY YOUR ECONOMY IS STRONG. THE EXPERTS FROM MOST OTHER COUNTRIES SAY AMERICA WILL FALL INTO A LARGE DEPRESSION BY JULY 2009.

to the stupid 14 year old… mark stone wasn’t even on the DEBUT. so, he was there during formation of the group but michael was the ‘original’ bassist on tour and on the FIRST record… so kid you keep trying to manipulate the facts…

are you’re parents “liberals” by any chance? liberals re-write
history to suit themselves is all i’m saying…

Mike left VH to join the other half.IN doing so he created a conflict of interest.It was Sammy who lead mike away and that was his master plan.They are both traitors to us all! Mike is the cause and effect of us not getting the full re-union.Thanks Mike! You all got it backwards.

Yes, I too seen them a few weeks back and Wolfy nailed all the harmony parts.It is still not the original Van Halen but it was a hell of a show. Quit bitching about it and go see the show. Micheal is having fun right now out with the Cabo Giant anyways. )

” Itâ€™s as close to the original as you are going to get.”

No, it’d get a lot closer if they’d just pick up the phone and ask Michael Anthony to join the tour. He’s not dead, y’know.

Any old bass player can play here – nobody listens to Van Halen for the bass playing – nobody goes to a concert for the bass playing – If he is so great, how does he get replaced by a kid? Are you in love with wassiz face?

Michael Anthony contributed more to the VH ’sound’
than most folks will ever know!

You are correct, sir.

NOT a reunion.

Who cares? Why do you even bother writing about such a non-story? Who doesn’t know that this is not the original Halen? It’s as close to the original as you are going to get. If you don’t like it, don’t go to their concert.

Im a musician and I can tell you from my point of view, Michael Anthony was key for Halen. Even though I never really took to the new Haggar Halen much, they did make some good music and made a new legacy. Even though I idolize eddie and think he is one of the best of all time, he being a total asshole excluding Michael Anthony. Im a major fan of teh original Van Halen, but I doubt Roth can still pull off the screaming stylings and athletic showmanship he did back the day. You just cant go back. Its all history now.

It truly is amazing with all of these jurassic rock shows that are in the news. Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, none of them are true reunions, even the Rolling Stones do reunion tours but they never do capture the glory that once was. It is just to fill their wallets once again. The Glory was back in the hey day of the original tours. Even Queen wont call it a ReUnion with Paul Rodgers singing… Man it is sad to hear old Queen songs made famous by Freddie and have someone “cover” them that was not a part of the real thing. I feel sorry for Wolfgang though next his mother may be the lead singer of the band… Then it truly will be a Van Halen Family Reunion…

i ain’t paying to see them without michael anthony on bass. period. wolfgang is a kid, has no right to even be onstage with the greatness they were no matter how good his over-inflated fat ass is. the kid might be good but this is NO re-union. i’m surprised roth is going for this… van halen is and always be the original 4. period. without michael it’s tired.

Matt (#13 above) says that the key parts are there. Ok, first off, do any of you people here play bass????? If not,then maybe you should pay attention to the bass lines that Mike layed down. The dude is a master and I don’t give a ass-rat if WOLFIE was taught by dad. There’s more to playing than notes, it’s called feel and I doubt that Wolfie has it. And secondly, those high harmonies are Mike. Does anyone think that some punk ass kid is giong to be able to hit those!!!!! I THINK NOT. I’m not going becaus it’s a “reunion”. I’m going because I want to hear the old shit, not So This Is Love.
