Ex-VAN HALEN Bassist: ROCK HALL Was 'A Night I Will NEVER Forget'

March 23, 2007

Former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony has posted the following message on his official blog:

"Thanks for a GREAT week!!

"I just wanted to throw up a little post about last week and how great it was!! First of all I want to again thank all of you on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction! It was a night I will NEVER forget. Sam [Hagar] and I had a great time. It obviously would have been perfect under better circumstances, but nonetheless it was an honor to be a part of it.

"On Wednesday after the induction ceremony, I flew to Puerto Vallerta to meet the cruise ship headed for Cabo. That night Vic Johnson, Dave Lauser and myself played a two-hour set of some of our favorites, including some 'old' VH stuff. I can't remember the last time I sang lead vocals for that long...It was GREAT!! I saw a couple of short clips on YouTube yesterday. If you want to check them out just type in Sammy Hagar 2nd annual cruise or follow these links:

"Sammy and I finished it off with a noon time show at the Cabo Wabo on Friday the 16th. A big THANK-YOU to everyone who was there and on the ship!! It was an awesone time meeting and hangin out with all of you. I needed a couple of days rest after that!! (DETOX TIME!!)

"One last thing: For those of you who can't get enough Michael Anthony hot sauce heat, we've just come out with a XXX RESERVE sauce that should be just what you're looking for. We have it available in my online store now. Check it out and let me know what you think. It's not scorching heat (I want you to be able to finish the meal!!) but just hot enough to maybe remove a few taste buds!!"
