Van Halen Tribute Album: Michael Anthony's Vision for a Musical Homage to Eddie Van Halen
Michael Anthony shared his thoughts on a possible new album by Van Halen, suggesting that it should be an instrumental tribute to Eddie Van Halen. The project, led by Alex Van Halen, involves unfinished recordings from the band's active days, with Wolfgang Van Halen on bass. Steve Lukather is assisting Alex in reviewing the audio carefully before releasing it to ensure the quality meets their standards. Paul Rodgers was approached but declined to participate, citing his focus on acoustic music. Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth were not mentioned in the project. Anthony will join Hagar for a Las Vegas residency and tour, highlighting their shared love for cars and the beach. The 5150 album will also be reissued to celebrate their era in Van Halen.
