Original sentence: In 2006, the band's long-time bassist Michael Anthony was forced from the band.Since then, a poor selling album and poorly attended tour (Van Halen III) with new vocalist Gary Cherone, no activity at all other than failed reunions with Roth from 2001 - 2003, and an overpriced (and thus for most people unaffordable), non-profitable reunion tour with Hagar in which Eddie Van Halen's sobriety was questionable throughout.With all the disagreements between Eddie and the band's vocalists, with Alex Van Halen quietly backing up his brother, Anthony was often seen as the voice of reason within the band
Edited sentence: In 2006, the band's longtime bassist Michael Anthtony was forced from the band.Since then, a poor selling album and poorly attended tour (Van Halen III) with new vocalist Gary Cherone, no activity at all other than failed reunions with Roth from 2001 - 2003, and an overpriced (and thus for most people unaffordable), non-profitable reunion tour with Hagar in which Eddie Van Halen's level of soberness was questionable throughout.The legacy of the band lives on in it's influences, but how well it is remembered compared to the impact it had on the world is unfortunate.With all the fallings out between Eddie and the band's vocalists, with Alex Van Halen quietly backing up his brother, Anthony was often seen as the voice of reason within the band
