Former VAN HALEN Bassist Announces Addition To MAD ANTHONY Family Of Hot Sauces

February 20, 2007

Former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"There's a new addition to the Mad Anthony family of hot sauces coming soon for those of you who just can't get enough heat. You wanted hotter taste with the same great flavor and Mad Anthony's has heard the call! Mad Anthony's XXXTra Hot Private Reserve is in the final stages of preparation and is just what you need to turn your favorite meal into a five-alarm inferno. So ice up those ass cheeks and get ready to sizzle, because Mad Anthony's XXXTra Hot Private Reserve is on its way! Don't forget to have the Fire Dept. on speed dial!"

Anthony isn't letting his dismissal from VAN HALEN get in the way of his feelings about being elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On his web site, the bassist previously wrote, "I was very excited and honored to learn that VAN HALEN would be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this March. I want to thank Eddie, Alex, Sammy, and Dave. It has been an amazing experience and I am very proud of what we have accomplished. I'm not sure yet how the induction ceremony will work, but I'll keep everyone posted as I find out the details. A Big MA Toast to all our fans for their tremendous support over the years! Love you all and bottoms up!!"

Last year, Eddie Van Halen announced that his 15-year-old son Wolfgang had replaced Anthony in the band. No announcement has been made about the reason for the lineup change.

The band will be inducted March 12 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
