Former
VAN HALEN and current
CHICKENFOOT bassist
Michael Anthony was interviewed for today's (Friday, November 13) edition of
Adam Corolla's daily podcast. The 70-minute conversation about the early days of
VAN HALEN and
CHICKENFOOT is now available for streamiing using the audio player below.
In a recent interview with
San Antonio Express-News,
Anthony stated about last year's
VAN HALEN reunion tour, which saw
Wolfgang Van Halen playing bass, "I caught a little of it on
YouTube and word of mouth. I found out they were doing that reunion like everybody else did.
Eddie (
Van Halen) would go, 'Oh, he's playing with
Sammy now.' My phone's always here. I jammed with
Sammy because I wasn't asked to do the reunion."
Regarding the fact that only he and
Hagar showed up when
VAN HALEN was inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
Anthony said, "That was weird. You can't put your crap aside even for one evening? At this point in my career and my life, I want to have fun. I'm not 20 years old anymore. If I was still in my 20s, I'd say, 'Bring the fight on.' But I want to hang out with people that are positive and upbeat.
Sammy? You don't get much more positive than this guy."
