Michael Anthony Says He Could Sing for Van Halen

10/22/2014
. (TeamRock Radio) Michael Anthony says that he could sing any Van Halen track well enough to lead the band - but admits he doesn't fancy the pressure of being a frontman.

The former Van Halen and current Chickenfoot bassist sang lead vocals with Snake 40 years ago and provided backing vocals to VH frontmen Dave Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. But handling the main role would be too much for him, even though he believes he has the voice for the job.

Anthony tells 107.7 The Bone: "I don't need that kind of pressure on me. Lead singers, they're their own breed. It wasn't until the fourth or fifth Van Halen record that people would go, 'Wow! You're singing backgrounds on those records. That's not David Lee Roth.' And I go, 'Hell, no! That's not David Lee Roth.'

"I sang Somebody Get Me A Doctor. That actually goes over quite well. But I'd sing any of them. I could sing any of that crap. I can sing it all." Read more here.
