Ain't talkin' 'bout reunions.

Who was David Lee Roth talking about when he recently hinted at plans to return to "the original thing" with "somebody famous"?

Starting over after achieving incredible success can seem daunting — and it's a feeling that former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony knows all too well.

There's a bond between a bassist and a drummer that often goes deeper than those shared by the other players in the band.

Eddie Van Halen says he's still enduring the ups and downs of his working relationship with David Lee Roth because it's what the fans want. The fans who want bassist Michael Anthony back in the lineup, however, are out of luck.

Sammy Hagar will release a concert recording with his new band the Circle, featuring Jason Bonham as well as former Van Halen and Chickenfoot bandmate Michael Anthony.

It's been great having Van Halen back in action with David Lee Roth in recent years, but the dark cloud hanging over their reunion has been the absence of original bassist Michael Anthony, who was exiled in favor of Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang. Don't expect to hear any sour grapes from Anthony, though.

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.

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.

I classify Chickenfoot as a rock supergroup! I think you have to when the band consists of Joe Satriani on guitar, Red Hot Chili Pepper drummer Chad Smith, former Van Halen/Van Hagar members, Michael Anthony, and Sammy Hagar, and everything I have heard from them ROCKS!

There have been a lot of rumors that VAN HALEN is in the midst of recording a new album with DAVID LEE ROTH... and if that's the case, the band's former bassist MICHAEL ANTHONY can't wait to hear it.
