Mike TOURED with Sammy long before he got the final boot from VH. In one of Eddie's drunken, hour-long phone calls to Howard Stern's show or maybe it was that interview Mike did with a Japanese magazine, the final straw was when Mike launched his own brand of hot sauce and went on some radio station to promote it. Of course, the radio showed billed it as the bassist from VH and his new hot sauce. Supposedly, that really set of the brothers. Though I think it was all Ed and Al just goes along with it.
