if you saw them then you know he was not some stand in the background bass player (like John Entwistle of the Who). No knock on Entwistle, but Michael Anthony was a big part of their show.

Roth

Loooooolllllllllllllllllllll

David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen apparently didn't have to get back on the road to be reminded why they broke up 23 years ago.
A planned reunion of the Roth-fronted Van Halen -- set to be the biggest tour of the summer -- has been delayed indefinitely. The promoter behind the tour, Live Nation, told its employees the shows are off for now. No other information has been released by the band, which was to include Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen, 15, standing in for original bassist Michael Anthony (who's also had trouble getting along with Eddie).

WHoa whoa whoa whoa whoa here keith! Entwhistle was the single best bass player imo in history. When he played solos and other songs like My Wife (Boris the Spider too) that he wrote, he was possibly the most talented and exciting to watch. He was low-key in appearance but not how he played. He stated he was low key because Townsend and Daltrey were competing so much that he just decided to sit back and chill!

Listen to Young Man Blues...then listen to Jamie's Crying, you tell me who was better...

do not misunderstand what I was saying. By no means was I knocking "the Ox". My only point was that because he was so low-key (and somewhat behind the scenes) he could be replaced easier upon his death. Michael Anthony was more front and center. By no means however was he better.
