I saw Van Halen for the first time when I was a kid on the Fair Warning tour and Michael Anothony leaned down right in front of me and gave me a blue guitar pick with his name on one side and of course the Van Halen logo on the other. That made me a lifelong fan Michael! God Bless!

Love his down to earth humble personality, still a class act. There are damn good reasons why he's probably the most beloved member of VH throughout the whole fan community 'til this day.

Mike is always cool during these interviews. Seems like he maintained some sanity in the band during the weird times.

Great interview. Mike is very modest and down to earth. His playing and vocals are legendary.

Mikey is a rock star and should have been included in those last two VH tours. My two cents. RIP EVH

Michael Anthony 100% class act!!!

Michael is so great. He doesn’t get enough credit for his bass playing and backup vocals that help define the VH sound. With the BS he had to put up with and the things they did to him, most people would write the dirtiest tell all book imaginable, but he manages to stay humble. Fan forever!

The Rock n Roll hall of fame is now a mosh mosh of musicians not just rock musicians… that said, I believe Eddie Trunk, who’s career is to keep the rock community involved in the back stories of rock musicians making us love the very people making their way into the rock n roll world. Eddie is indispensable in this world. Thank you Eddie Trunk !

That Metal Show returns.

Absolutely! VH can certainly be correctly referred to as America's Led Zeppelin or The Who level band. Very accurate analogy.

When Roth was put into the straitjacket at the hotel, wasn't that taped into the Panama video? Probably the not the only instance. What a great interview.

Most underrated bassist in rock. Dirty Movies best song.

The best part of Michael and Sammy is they really seem like just normal guys. If you came up to them they would talk to the fans. Alex and Dave would not. Dave may even try to charge for a VIP experience to say to words to him. .

Rest well great one the music world misses you..EVH

As a fan more then anything I would love to see a bunch of rehearsal footage from both era 's. (if it exists) ? The problem I see with a tribute to ED is well that means Roth & Sammy would both need to be involved and neither can sing too well anymore especially Dave. Plus they don't get along. Great episode fellas and awesome seeing MA.

Sammy sounds great live. He's in his 70's and can still put on an amazing vocal performance. What are you talking about? Even if Dave decides to back out, Sammy and a bunch of other singers can lend their vocals for a night or two of tributes. The list is endless if they start calling some people.

Michael has the same laugh as Sammy.
