Sometimes I think I'm going to yawn so extravagantly that the top of my head is going to fall off.
Punk rock snob!
I think you're right about Michael Anthony as far as creating new material goes. The backups he came up with worked great. He always seemed to do the right thing at the right time for their music. But if they're just playing covers of themselves doing the oldies, then any bass player can fill in the Michael Anthony role. The actual bass lines are nothing special, and anyone that can sing and play can do his vocal parts.
LOL. There's only one "brown sound" in my life, Greg. it's a necessary evil, usually a relief and sometimes a pleasure.
Another thing about Wolfgang is he's too damn young to be playing with these dudes. It just doesn't look right. Older dudes should play with older dudes, kids should play with kids. Mixing 'em together just looks wrong. Especially for a band like VH that relies so heavily on their visual impact.
"Mean Street" is still one of my favorite tunes to put on to start a workout.
Tell me about it. The '70s and '80s punk bands that are still touring in the UK all have twenty-year-old drummers. :/ Except for our band - our drummer is fifty and fantastic.
We found out two weeks ago that he has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Treatable, but still a shocking blow, especially to him and his girl.

That sucks. I obviously don't know your guy, but please pass along my best wishes to your drummer from some drummer jackass in Texas.
And if you need a fill-in while he gets treatment, fly me over there.
Ugh, that sucks- Seriously, hope this turns out ok.
I just think early VH had a lot of attitude, humor and fun.
Mommy, why did you name me Wolfgang? Shut up and comb your face, dear.
