Michael Anthony

Bassist says the new group started recording together "just for fun."

"They were a little bit more straight-ahead, what Van Halen sounds like," bassist said of unreleased tracks.

He broached the subject with radio host Eddie Trunk.

Bassist is one of several rockers who've been linked with a potential concert honoring the departed guitar god.

Anthony says, 'I hope something happens in the future.'

Bassist says he's spoken to David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen, but plans didn't get far.

Bassist takes over from Sammy Hagar at Circle show for "Runnin' With the Devil" and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love."

The bassist has hope for an eventual return.

A scheduling conflict kept Anthony from exploring the idea last year.

Both former Van Halen members are up for the event, whenever the timing is right.

Communication's open between the two classic Van Halen members.

Bassist expressed that he hadn't spoken to his former bandmate for many years.

Wolfgang Van Halen says Van Halen had nothing to do with Michael Anthony being temporarily removed from two album covers back in 2007.

It's been a tough year for fans, but these gifts might make things merry and bright.

He says Van Halen bassists never had chance to speak but looks forward to it.

The two shared a moment of silence before playing 'Right Now.'

The bass player claims he 'Never heard a call back' regarding the proposed reunion tour with Van Halen's original lineup.

It happened at a show from Sammy Hagar and the Circle.

Bassist says reconnection with former bandmates is “not gonna happen.”

Singer says he’ll put the Circle on hold for bassist if reunion takes place.
