"What it came down to is that Sammy doesn't want to work. We said "No, we should all be in the studio together because we're a band". He only came in for two days. Simply: he didn't want to work. He was telling everybody that we were talking to David Lee Roth behind his back, which we weren't.... He started to attack the band. He is basically lying. He wants everybody to have sympathy for him. Thinking we kicked him out. And that's not the case at all." - Mike Anthony on Sammy Hagar, 1996
Mike Anthony = Biggest phony in rock. Kicked Sammy to the curb in 1996 with the VH Bros and then cried like a baby when he was kicked out. Now he's Sammy's stooge.
No balls at all. No one even cared about him when he was in VH. Just Spammy fans crying now about the "evil" EVH.
Thanks for the post! What a GREAT man and a great musician who supplied the most OUTSTANDING back up vocals for one of the greatest rock bands to have EVER lived! Big "up" to you, Mikey!!!
Not being so hip to Van Halen, I think this guy had all the Heart of the band, and will far out-success any of them! - Thats if the Tokillya business fails!
They keep showing the '57.. but give me that silver '56 ANY day! Fun to watch Michael.. smart man.. knows what he's talkin about when he does.. he's not the glamour boy that many are.. makes it real :)..
While in Van Halen Mikey was always the quiet one...well now we know Mickey is the guy who should have being doing more of the talking. He's the nicest guy from the original VH. I hope Chickenfoot's next album outsells anything VH puts out!!!
man,eddie could learn so much from mike and his attitude towards people.i'm surprised eddie doesnt try to charge him everytime he says "van halen"..LOL
NICE INTERVIEW!!! It's great to hear Mikey's story of his beginnings in music. Nice new bass too! I'd love to have one of those! As a beginning basist it gives me hope to hear him say what he said at the end! Rock on Mikey!!! Love ya!!!!
Great interview. Positive. Upbeat. Infectious. Mikey's got a charazma all his very own. Fun story about his dad. For those interested, there is a pic of Mikey with "Walt" on his web page. Root around, you'll find it. It was snapped during the '04 tour.
He is the king , utter utter respect for the man , great bass player , great singer , Vh will miss him more then they will ever comprehend . Rock on Mikey!!!!!!

Michael Anthony was a part of VH as much as any one of those guys. His backing vocals gave them their sound.
