VAN HALEN: ONCE AGAIN, THEY AIN'T TALKIN' 'BOUT LOVE

I'm glad that Ed Van Halen seems like he's off of alcohol and drugs, but it's a bummer that he always has to beef with former Van Halen bandmates. Now it's bassist Michael Anthony, who along with former singer Sammy Hagar, is in Chickenfoot (with Joe Satriani and Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith). He's saying that Michael quit the band (probably unlikely) and Michael says he knew he pissed off Eddie when he started playing gigs with Sammy Hagar, but he didn't find out that he was being replaced by Wolfgang Van Halen until he read about it online.

There's a Guitar Hero: Van Halen coming out, and it will only include Ed, Wolfgang, Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth, but not Anthony, Hagar or Gary Cherone. Cold, but I guess Jason Newstead wasn't in Metallica's either.
