Of anyone who could rightfully have a lot of legit complaints at some people and bullshit. What a Gentleman, and it's why he has so many friends all over, and if you ask anyone about Mikey and they will all say what a great guy he is, and one of the greatest rock n roll bass players ever in rock n roll.

It was so out of control, the owner of the house had to leave to bring his sister to the emergency room, the street was double parked, people were trying to drive up the street but only enough room for one way traffic so the streets were at a stand still, the house was so packed people were partying in the attic, people fucking in hallways, it was so out of control I left the house. The cops had to walk to the house to get there lol

The Roth Era songs belong to Wolfie/Alex. So Sammy has to pay them to play the songs. The Hagar/VH songs are co-owned by SH/EVH/Alex and he can play those without having to share revenue. Hence, just a handful of pre-Hagar songs.

And I gotta say the way the VH brothers treated him because he stayed friends and performed with Sammy while VH was on hiatus was absolutely ridiculous, they took his picture off the cover of the first album and replaced it with Eddies son, I mean gimme a break, the fan backlash was immediate and well deserved, trying to erase him from the history of the band?

The setlist so far on the tour is not what Hagar was promising, a celebration of the legacy of Eddie and Van Halen. It’s still just a couple of Roth tunes with mostly Hagar-era stuff. And there are no deep tracks at all. Everything so far is what VH had always played on tour. That’s all well and good, I suppose, but it’s not what we were promised. And that’s a huge let down because it was either a lie or backtracking. Anyway, great interview, Anthony is awesome as always.

Yeah, kind of a let down considering they're the only ones doing anything Van Halen that have been members of Van Halen.

I am glad they came out with this set list since I am a Van Hagar era fan, no offense to the classic Van Halen line up or the the Roth era , but for me Sammy took the band to another stratosphere when he joined the band.
