Sammy Hagar says Van Halen used Michael Anthony’s backing vocals during live shows after they’d sacked him – and the bassist should have sued them for it. Sammy says Eddie Van Halen and co made the move because none of them can do what’s required when it comes to backup singing – especially Eddie’s son Wolgang, who became the band’s new bassist.
Hagar tells Attention Deficit Dilerium: “Those vocal harmonies on the last tour were Mike on tape. Mike should have reamed them for it. Wolfie don’t sing like that and Ed sure as hell don’t. “Go on the internet and listen to Ed’s voice live from the reunion with me. Hear him song on When It’s Love and some of those other songs. Ed can’t sing – and his voice is shot if he can, from cigarettes and booze, anyway.”
I remember this going around when they were touring. It wouldn't be surprising if it were true.
