Interview: Michael Anthony - The MusicRadar.com Podcast |...

What this episode covers

Michael Anthony calls himself "the ultimate rock 'n' roll sideman." But when you've spent over 25 years providing the thunderous bass and high-flying background vocals for Van Halen, does the word 'sideman' really apply? For reasons known only to Eddie Van Halen, Anthony was passed over for the band's recent reunion tour with singer David Lee Roth. Bummer, right? Yes, but Anthony's got a brand new 'supergroup' in Chickenfoot, which includes Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. A revealing interview with a man who's done it all. For more on Michael Anthony and the best music news, reviews and tuition, head to www.musicradar.com.
