  Oral cancer survivor here. Had it worse than Eddie as I had most of lower jaw replaced.  Its beatable ... but you gotta clean up your act and be vigilant about your health.  I'm one year cancer free.

  Like it or not, Michael Anthony&apos;s harmonies ARE crucial to the sound of Van Halen records

  The treatment of Michael Anthony is probably the biggest piss off, dude was a stud on the bass and a very important part of Van Halen history.

  I met Eddie when I was living in a Sober &nbsp;living in 1991 in Burbank . He was in rehab on the third floor at Saint Joes Medical Center. When he took his 90 day chip at an NA meeting, I gave him a book called as Bill sees it.He gave me a big hug. &nbsp;After he got out of rehab, I saw him<br> around at AA meetings. He sure remembered me.<br>We smoked a few cigarettes a few times out in the back by ourselves. I guess it was my 15 minutes. I think he already had an operation for his tongue cancer. He told me that Valerie left him because he wouldn’t quit smoking anyway I gave him my number and told him if he wanted to go to a meeting with somebody just give me a call. The call never came. Meeting him was a highlight of my life. I’m just a garage musician, but I’ve always looked up to &nbsp;that man’s Musical gifts. I wish I could’ve helped him. I didn’t get sober until 2000’s<br>ITS REALLY SIMPLE !!! How<br>NOT EASY !!

  Michael Anthony should’ve walk out on Van Halen after they asked him to take a huge pay cut and sign all the recording rights to the Halen Brothers

  As I said before, I’m a smoker and drinker, but when you ignore doctors recommendations, and only descend more into addictions, things will go bad!

  I love the fact that when you listen to Eddie when he plays, it feels like he is alive at that moment. I am dead serious. &nbsp;Eddie lives on in his records.
