Ya know, every now and again I do an interview and I have a pinch-me moment. All of a sudden, I have the realization that I’m talking to True Rock Royalty… somebody who laid the foundation and kicked open the door everyone is walking through right now. And today I’m excited to share one of those types of interviews. Michael Anthony is arguably the greatest backing vocalist and bassist in hard rock history. He was the standard in the 70s and 80s in a band that lit the world on fire: Van Halen. This band was so great, legendary bands were scared of them. Especially when Van Halen were rookies and opened for them on tour. Sometimes these iconic bands tried to sabotage them by messing with their equipment or lighting, but it didn’t matter; Van Halen was so electrifying that nothing could stop them. Michael Anthony tells the story of Van Halen's magnificent debut album that changed rock forever, and he has some hilarious stories about the charismatic ironman and atomic guitar hero Eddie Van Halen that you won’t believe… It’s next on Professor of Rock.

It’s time for another episode of our series Revelations, where featured artists reveal rare stories about their greatest songs. And if you haven’t guessed by now, today we have a founding member of my favorite rock band of all time… Van Halen. bassist and backing vocalist extraordinaire Michael Anthony. You gotta see this interview. Michael tells us the funny story of meeting Eddie and Dave for the first time, and they borrowed his PA for a gig, also how dozens of guitarists would go under cover to try to steal Eddie’s Genius… It got so bad they were sneaking around their rehearsal space, and Eddie had to turn his back to the audience to keep his secrets, and how the rookie band got sabotaged by other bands when they were coming up because they were afraid of this band’s ferocity and the story behind their perfect 1978 debut including, Running With the Devil, Aint talking Bout Love, Jamie’s Crying and Eruption. This one’s a can’t-miss next on Professor of Rock.

That was just part one… I actually got a chance to go in-depth on every Diamond Dave album with Michael Anthony, so stay tuned for future installments. Thanks for watching.
