Bass, Beats, and Firepower: Michael Anthony Leads the Groove at Sammy Hagar’s 2025 Birthday Bash

We don’t usually post cell phone footage, but this one is too cool to pass up.

This clip comes from Night 2 of Sammy Hagar’s Birthday Bash 2025, where Michael Anthony joined Hagar, Phil X, and Kenny Aronoff for a ripping take on “I’m the One.”

It’s everything you’d hope for from this crew. Michael Anthony’s rocking a Schecter PJ bass and Peavey Rig, the tone is huge and unmistakable, the vocals are locked in, and the energy is all smiles. Phil X and Hagar go back and forth with the kind of chemistry that only happens when everyone is having fun.

It may not be pro shot, but it captures the best part of live music: great players having a blast together.
