guitard: Has Dave ever been there?

I am sure he has. If I remember correctly, in his autobiography Dave mentioned that he was at the studio when he quit the band.

What I really meant . . . more along the lines of “has he ever created music there.”

Where was that photo taken? I saw a guy standing with the same board at the car entrance to Staples centre June last year.

With thx to the Dutch VH forum :mrgreen: :mrgreen: , this showed up in a huge dutch daily newspaper

http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/5602/Muziek/article/detail/3393707/2013/02/14/David-Lee-Roth-wil-Michael-Anthony-terug-in-Van-Halen.dhtml

translated with google translate
David Lee Roth would like to retrieve Michael Anthony Van Halen says the frontman of the band in the music magazine Rolling Stone. Bassist Anthony was just before the recent reunion of the band put aside and replaced by Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang.

Anthony has since always claimed that he never received a reason for his resignation, but that he had no grudge against his ex-bandmates. The musician soon found shelter in the band Chickenfoot, which he plays with another former Van Halen member Sammy Hagar, star guitarist Joe Satriani and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

Roth says not so much the bass of Anthony to miss, but his distinctive voice. “What we have to let go is probably one of the best high tenor voices of all time,” he says. “The voice of Michael is as recognizable as the high voices in Earth, Wind & Fire and the Beach Boys. I’d like to see us back. “

I would wait for the article to come out before making any judgments. Sounds like the usual bullshit sensationalist headlines from “Rolling Stone”.

The online article that Ron posted IS the article in question.

The way RS spins it is like something from a tabloid. :-?

Maybe the band is just fine… and Dave knows, full well, how to get attention. I suspect Dave is trying to create a little controversy, just to get everyone a little excited. Nothing like a little fear, that there is trouble brewing in the band, to get the fans talking.

Besides, tabloid headlines always get people to look. It’s like a car wreck…. you just can’t turn away.


The poor folks play for keeps down here…They’re the living dead. Nobody rules these streets at night like Van Halen!!
