Michael Anthony, a former Van Halen bassist recently unveiled he is working on a new project along with members of Aerosmith and Bon Jovi.
Anthony stated on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation that, “I wasn’t going to mention anything about it, but 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, I don’t wanna get ahead of myself and mention too much, but it might involve Phil X [Bon Jovi guitarist] and John Douglas, who you know as [the touring drummer] for Aerosmith right now.”
When asked who would be fronting the group the bassist explained, “I don’t wanna mention any names, but a really, really cool singer, And we’re recording just for fun right now, some stuff. That’s all I can say.”
In another part of the interview, Anthony spoke about the making of Van Halen III as well as the band’s album with Gary Cherone that recently turned 25.
Anthony stated, “I remember Alex was going through a divorce, And there’d be times where we’d start up in the studio and he … would record for a half hour, then have to leave to meet with his lawyer.”
He continued to say, “It was just a really strange, strange, strange time, One thing that was really kind of sad for me was that there was not even a handful of songs that the band actually recorded together in the studio. And before that, we used to record everything with everybody in the studio.”
