MICHAEL ANTHONY Reveals He Hasn't Spoken To VAN HALEN Brothers In 10 Years In New Audio Interview
September 8, 2014, 9 years ago
Former Van Halen and current Chickenfoot bassist Michael Anthony was interviewed by Eddie Trunk last week. Michael, while laid back and candid, shared his disappointments about being estranged from Van Halen - without sounding bitter. Highlights include:
- Michael hasn’t spoken to the Van Halen brothers since the 2004 tour.- Back in 2002, on the eve of the Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth Tour: Song for Song, the Heavyweight Champs of Rock and Roll, Eddie Van Halen gave Mike an ultimatum and implied that if Michael did that tour, he would be out of Van Halen. Michael was shocked, angry, frustrated, and ended up doing the tour anyway.
- Michael says he hasn’t yet listened to the A Different Kind Of Truth album all the way through.
