Eddie was wrong about Michael (but the things that he said was not in his best years, that is for sure), he wasn't wrong about Diamond Dave way earlier.

Contrary to what many others say the facts is Michael WAS NEVER kicked out of VH . Anthony decided to leave VH on his own , he was given a choice by both Edward and Alex who said either you stay with us or you go with Sammy and Mike chose Sammy . This notion that Eddie and Alex just got rid of him because Eddie wanted to perform with Wolfgang is the biggest crock ever. Mike told Eddie and Alex to F off . Only long after Mike left did Edward teach Wolf to play bass to get good enough to perform.

@@2216sammythe VH brats are jerks , everyone knows it . Michael was the only one who acted like an adult and a pro in the original band .

were you there?

For sure. He was the only decent guy in the band.

He dont like donuts..

Rush has always been on a different leave then most rock bands .it was never about money or fame .They were more mature. And the best of friends together

Just read Geddy's book. They had their differences for sure, but butt hurt should only last a little bit amongst friends, or is acted out the next time you get drunk together. I was surprised to hear how much coke Geddy did while performing

Yep at every level more so when you are doing your own material. I know from experience guessing the same for you

@@OldDawg-mc3dy definitely

Those play a part in a lot of cases....but sometimes, people just can't get along. Having been in my share of bands...good and bad....I can agree with the comment once made around me that "bands are like marriage without the sex" and there's a lot to that. You have to put up with each other's quirks....a lot. You have to depend on each other...a lot. You also have different visions of what you are, what you want, and what you intend the band to be. Mix all those things with all the things you mentioned with pressure and that, I'd say is the root of all bandmate issues.

Eddie was one of the kindest souls ever , you got to stop believing a lot of what is posted . Eddie stopped doing interviews after a while because the interviewers would always add a bunch of things he never said . Every pro guitarist who's ever met Edward thought he was amazing and incredibly kind and exceedingly generous to a fault .

@2216sammy Yes, he was kind to people who didn't know him. To the people closest to him, he treated them like crap. Look at all the things that he did to Mike. Are they untrue? Making him sign away his rights to the band? How about signing away his future earnings to the band? Also, did you ever hear Michael saying anything bad about Eddie? Come on! Not every journalist had to be lying? I don't get involved in things like this on UKposts. However, Michael is one person that I will defend simply because he is loyal to a fault.

@@2216sammy Dude, you're living in a fantasy world. There are mountains of evidence and first-person testimony of what a jerk Eddie could be, and was, to many people close to him. Alex in some ways was even worse. People love to talk about what a fool DLR was, but go look at what an ass Eddie made of himself at Dime's memorial.

I'm sorry, but he was a jerk.

After I heard the interview where he was talking about Randy Rhoads after he died it changed my whole outlook on Eddie Van halen. Then there's the whole Michael Anthony thing. Eddie seemed like such a miserable prick.

Exactly

Good point. I saw them in 1987. Stood at the stage. They never even looked at each other. Dee Dee would look over and nod or make eye contact with the band. There was NO communication that I saw between these guys.

What about Dio later working with Ritchie Blackmore?

The Kinks

From personal experience, you're so correct. Especially when you get into heavy hobbies like cocaine and opiates. Even if you're relatively disciplined enough to make your gigs on time, if you don't have drugs, you're not playing well, if you have drugs, you usually take too much and you're not playing well. And then stick 4 or 5 guys in a van together, with broken air conditioning in Florida in August. Or people are on different drugs/alcohol and criticizing the guys on the conflicting drugs. The irony is, the more successful you get, the more damage you do to yourself and each other. I was afraid I couldn't play if I cleaned up, and just the opposite happened. My musicianship was better than ever. It's unfortunate but it's not a new problem. First off, when and where you are going to work, everyone else is off work and heading there to party. And, especially in the lower rungs of the entertainment industry, playing on stage is the high point of your day, the rest of your day/evening can be boring, lonely, and depressing (especially if you're trying to keep a relationship together and don't want to 'socialize' with the wonderfully charming women you often meet. And ironically, the most destructive vice I experienced dealing with in a band was alcohol. But regardless of the poison, musicians have been familiar the struggles of addiction way back when the term "rockin' and rollin' meant something much different than it came to mean. There's really nothing new under the sun. Except the Internet...

Except when you realize that Simmons and Stanley for example are drug and alcohol free and are a massive pain in the ass, they were responsible for most of the problems. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull never took drugs either but drove off literally every band member with his behaviour. Do we need to talk about Morissey?

Ace's live performances are terrible though. Sometimes his behavior makes me worried.

Ace Balthasar lives 😂

They had a few chomo songs about underage girls

@@OldManMuskratI haven't heard them. But a lot of bands did.

Slave to the Grind and Youth Gone Wild.

I can only think of 18 and Life. Other than that yes I dont know any other songs. I want to puke thinking about them because I drank yesterday.

I liked them heavier than Journey, but they were HUGE. "Don't Stop Believin'"

Journey has had a very long career and sold many units (75mil+) - but even then, they are so utterly UTTERLY dwarved by Aerosmith, Guns'n'Roses or Metallica .. even playing devil's advocat I find no metric that would support the 'most famous' claim. Personally, I'd probably put them over Pantera and Skid Row, and that's about it ...

@rodnyg7952 And money to pay for the drugs and booze.

And with emphasis.

...I also came upon this comment at just the right moment, note "Goldstein" pronounced two different ways at 16:32. Well just after 1632, but it's a favorite number of mine.

It's AI crap as usual, pretty obvious.

and with the oddest inflection ever!

@@D-Fens_1632 I was waiting for more! Gold-Stone, Gold-Stin...

I wish the entire band would retire

Seeing them was my biggest disappointment of 2009. The band was playing well but Vince ruined the experience. After 3 songs I walked out. Luckily I was at a festival, Faith No More made it a great evening.

Beacuse he was less than a 2 years in that band (Metallica) and Elefson spent most of his life in Megadeth. Sure he can't erase all that work and not play it anymore.

I would be mad at Waters as well if he made me sing the part of the mother in “Mother”

Today everything is AI. These are bots.

He also called Dave Mustaine "Dave Moose-tane" lol

@@drk321 I suspected as much. The transitions are good, but beyond that, everything seems like generic AI stuff that is about 70% accurate, showing footage barely related to what they're talking about.

The voice parts of these documentaries must be a computer because he mis-pronounces all kinds of things like first names , last names , nicknames, Song titles , album titles , you name it and he fucks it’s up. He fuvkd up words that all of us fans know oh so well as something that he’s trying to get past us but due to our experience by time and osmosis , they can’t . I watched one doc that was narrated by a middle eastern voice that was so far off that it just turns off the watcher because the accent over powers the knowledge your hearing. Another case of money ruining art .

@wsbill14224 I always got the impression it was Axel too. Especially since at one point he was the only founding member left. GN'R was my favorite band. I had all their cassettes. Well the 4 good albums. I remember waiting outside of Sam The Record Mans at the local mall for Use Your Illusion 1 & 2.

P.S. Axel may have been/is a big a$$h@!e but he was/is a great singer (not so much live) and songwriter.

Glenn Frey/Don Felder when the Eagles were at their peak

I feel for Sykes. He wrote an album full of hits, recorded it and then gets sacked.

@trebleface7835 Blackmore and Gillan to this day are still quite complimentary of each other's talent. With them it was always clashes in personality.

AI decides what "rock feuds" are most interesting.

What you say about Roth is true, but if you do some research behind he scenes you will find out Eddie and Alex were just as big of jerks, just in different ways. Alcoholism was destroying both of them, and the way they treated Michael Anthony was criminal.

I still love their 80’s music though

LMAOOO🤣🤣😅

Sweetserenity79 ya me too. I graduated high school in 79 and kiss was the first concert i went to in 80. Now none of that really interests me.

It was a fact that Eddie did help Mike on Bass a lot . Not as much as Eddie said but Mike had trouble and Eddie who can play many instruments helped him.

@@2216sammy I have heard other musicians verify that Mikey struggled. It just sucks that Eddie felt the need to publicly embarrass him. Micheal seems like such a gentle soul. Dude can sing as good as any front man of the era and the back up vocals was part of what made Van Halan so awesome. I often wonder why Mike didn't front. Maybe he didn't have the look or couldn't play Bass and sing at the same time. Lita Ford said she struggled with singing and playing guitar at the same time. She had to break the habit of looking down at her instrument before she went solo.

@@Ratcity69if he fronted he works not have to play bass. Find a bass player to replace him. If he was as bad as it’s been said, that wouldn’t have been too difficult

They dropped the name and walked away with all of the talent.

It probably didn't happen like that. It would have been legally invalid because supposedly as the popular version goes, Rose is said to have threatened to not complete a tour in 92 unless they signed the rights to the name over to him. This would constitute duress or blackmail thus rendering it illegitimate and easily challenged legally. But it never was, so that has to tell you it didn't happen like that.
