Michael Anthony Working on New Supergroup Project
Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony seems to have a new project in the works. In a recent interview on Trunk Nation, he teased the new band to host Eddie Trunk.
“There is a little side project thing that I’ve kind of been speaking to some people and might be doing a couple of things with,” he said. “I don’t wanna get ahead of myself and mention too much, but it might involve [Bon Jovi guitarist] Phil X and John Douglas, who you know as the [touring] drummer for Aerosmith right now.”
Anthony wouldn’t reveal the vocalist, saying he didn’t want to name any names. However, he stated, “it’s a really, really cool singer. And we’re recording just for fun right now, some stuff. That’s all I can say.”
Aside from his time in Van Halen, the rock icon has been in several supergroups, including Chickenfoot (featuring Joe Satriani and Chad Smith) and The Circle with Jason Bonham. Both of those groups were fronted by fellow VH alum Sammy Hagar.
