Michael Anthony posted a statement on his blog about him and the VH Tour... I'll quote it and link it below.....

It’s not that I’m not touring with Van Halen because I’m going out with Sammy, I’m going out with Sammy because I was not invited to do the VH tour.
Sammy told me that if I was asked to be part of the VH tour and decided to do it, it would be totally cool, and it would not tarnish our friendship in the least!! Well it’s not to be, and life goes on. I’ll still be out there with Sam, and I can’t wait to do some partying with all of you. One last note from myself to all the Van Halen fans out there who will be attending their shows…Wolfgang is a great kid, so don’t judge him too harshly. I’m sure he’ll do just fine!!….See you all soon, Mike” - Mad Anthony Blog

Sound like a pretty stand-up guy, but maybe that's just me...?

Looks like he doesn't care in the least.

Kinda makes all the people bashing VH for not touring with him sound like asses.

So, basically, the intolerable neurotics (EVH, DLR) are touring, and the dudes you'd actually want to have a beer with (SH, MA) are not. Yeah, that's going to go real well.

Perhaps that was his point....

Guess the only guy with class from VH isn't even allowed back into VH.

Says a lot about the guys currently in VH.

I'm still just trying to believe he threw a bone to Wolfgang!

MA sounds like a class act to me.

So sad that VH ruined themselves with their own hands during the years. They turned the reunion event in such a soap opera, in which almost all the members (involved or not in the band, look in the web for David Lee Roth declarations for example) do statements to justify or not their presence.

BigM555 is right, MA sounds like a class act to me too.

That wasn't my impression at all. The part about "I wasn't invited" makes the Ed bashing completely justified IMHO. However, I will agree with everyone else who is saying Mike is good people, because he could have taken a potshot at Ed and his kid, yet refused to do so. That's class.

yep, Michael Anthony seems to have more class than the better halves of VH.
