Hey my fellow rockers and rockettes!
My recent trip to NAMM 2011 was awesome! Several of today's artists such as Orianthi, Tommy Thayer of KISS, Eric Bass of Shinedown, and Michael Anthony of Chickfoot/Van Halen were there. The highlight of the whole week was my exclusive interview with Michael Anthony, and I mean exclusive. I considered myself very lucky to land the only television interview with him. You will see this interview on an upcoming episode of Rusty Cooley's Guitar Asylum TV dedicated to bass players! Can I hear some slapping da bass man! Being a bass player myself, we should get more credit. If it wasn't for us and the drummer, the guitar players couldn't keep time! Right Rusty Cooley?
Back to Michael Anthony, we talked about them entering the studio to record their next album and a new tour possibly with or without Chad Smith depending if the Red Hot Chili Peppers will be touring this summer. Rumors were flying about Tommy Lee sitting in, but with the announcement of the Motley Crue/Poison summer tour, that's not going to happen. One cool thing you'll hear in my interview with Michael is he has no hard feelings about not being a part of Van Halen anymore. He wishes them the best.
