As a founding member it was one of the greatest disgraces in rock history making him forfeit his rights and royalties. The VH brothers couldn't have behaved any worse. Mike? Never a bad word. Pure class.

@dyer2cycle I always have to go with Dave before those 2 because he helped "create the early, but I respect your opinion. I think sometimes it depends on which era of VH you grew up on.
@dyer2cycle2 ай бұрын
@@alanmartino5488 I agree about him being at the beginning, I just always thought of him, as a lead singer, as the weak link in the band even back well before he left in 1985. I also agree about which era you like being dependent upon what you grew up on..well, for me, the change came in 1985 almost exactly when I was transforming from a teenager to a young adult..I honestly like both eras, but the DLR era was the Van Halen of my teenage and high school years...the SH era was the Van Halen of my young adult years...I was a "late bloomer", and overall enjoyed my young adult years and my freedom at the time, much better than I did my high school years. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I heavily favor the Sammy era. Sammy got blamed for the change in musical direction in VH, but it was already starting to occur..1984 and even Diver Down were evidence of this. By the time For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance came out, the music was beginning to take on a darker and heavier tone again, much like Fair Warning had before..5150 and OU812 are in my opinion great albums, but I now favor Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance more...

Mike - In those early years, you trusted. In the middle years, you were betrayed. Know that, as we the fans became more informed about it, we felt that betrayal, too. The truth over all of those years is the embarrassment earned by those who tried to do you dirty. Your strength to be here today, to be YOU, is an inspiration to all. The thing we love about you, is that you're a fan, not a rock star. I hope you know, that you truly believe and will never forget how much the REAL MF'in FANS LOVE YOU BROTHER!!!

Mikey's bass solo he came out with a bass on a cord, he hit a sustained note and lifted it over his head, snapped it in half, threw it on the stage and stomped on it.
