The summer hasn’t been kind to Van Halen’s original bass player. First Michael Anthony found out that he was being replaced in the legendary group by a 16-year-old, then he watched as the band tried to re-write history by airbrushing his face out of old album covers on their website. MTV News recently interviewed Anthony, and you would think this would be the perfect opportunity for him to exact some revenge on the Van Halen family.
Instead, Anthony took the less-traveled high road:
“It’s not like it was totally unexpected,” he told MTV News during a recent interview, “only because of the strain from the 2004 tour and how everything’s been since then.” Anthony is referring to the band’s 2004 reunion jaunt with Roth replacement Sammy Hagar, which grossed almost $55 million before ending on a sour note (at the conclusion of the run’s final gig, guitarist Eddie Van Halen smashed one of his guitars and quickly walked offstage).
“That’s the one thing that’s really kind of sad,” Anthony continued. “It would have been cool to get onstage with Dave again, but I’m not going to whine about it, because that’s the way it is. Why waste my time trying to make a stink about it?”
The news isn’t all glum for Anthony, as he will be heading out with Sammy Hagar for the Other Half on October 19th. Read on for more from Anthony…
