Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen talking again

Later on we were at my house, my buddy and myself, and his phone rings, and it's Alex," he says. He is all. Hey, tell Mike I said hello! Then I know he's handing me the phone; "Here, Al wants to talk to you." I find myself asking, "What?" This was last May, and I hadn't spoken to Alex in, say 10 or eleven years. Anthony says the chat was "nothing heavy," adding they "didn't want to get into anything about the band." Still, it was fantastic to chat with him. "We discussed life in general, getting older, and what's going on around us in the music business for roughly twenty minutes and had a great conversation." However, Anthony, who was with Hagar at the time, notes: "I do have kind of a personal spin on that one.

Eddie answered, "Yeah, Sammy, I hope you're doing well also.’The only thing that appeared strange was Eddie never calling Sammy "Sammy," in all the years Sammy was in Van Halen.

Anthony claims he is "kind of over" the stress related to Van Halen. Enquired about a reunion he says, "Being one of the largest bands there ever was, it's heartbreaking to watch how everything trickled down as it did. Should we have gone out, we ought to have done so destroying everything everywhere.
