Chickenfoot -- the group made up of Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith -- are hoping to get back to work next year.
Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony says he was flattered by comments his former bandmate David Lee Roth made about wanting him back in the famous group recently. As he jokingly noted, "He never used to talk like that when we were all playing together."
There's once again drama in the world of Van Halen, with singer David Lee Roth complaining about a recent lack of activity and communication within the band, and openly calling for a reunion with original bassist Michael Anthony.
Chickenfoot fans will be able to celebrate the band's entire output with a very special box set early next year. The group have announced the 'I + III + LV' collection, which will encompass both of their first two albums, plus the limited-edition live album they put out.
Chickenfoot are getting set to re-release their self-titled 2009 debut album in October, featuring four live bonus tracks. But fans won't have to wait that long for a taste; you can hear the live version of 'Lighten Up' right here, thanks to our exclusive preview.
Bassist Michael Anthony tells us he was “surprised” to hear a story that he was starting a band in the vein of Free, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.
The last time Michael Anthony was on ‘That Metal Show,’ his former Van Halen (and current Chickenfoot) bandmate Sammy Hagar didn’t feel his friend went into quite enough detail about his departure from one of rock’s most famous and successful bands.
