Van Halen is getting back together. A mere 20 years after anyone would honestly care, David Lee Roth is getting back with the Van Halen brothers to tour the world and, frighteningly, record a new album. Longtime bassist Mike Anthony had the good sense to decline to take part in the reunion.
Who knew that the guy who played a bass shaped like a bottle of Jack Daniels was the voice of reason in the band? Don't David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen, you know, hate each other? How does this end well? I'm predicting another trip to rehab for Eddie.

Chuck Klosterman thought Anthony was the most important part of that band, for his backing vocals. Hmmm.
I think he's right. But also for his ability to hold the rhythm section together while Eddie kinda went all over the place. He kept the songs grounded while everyone else freelanced.
And... wow. His voice is high.
I never liked that band.
