(Classic Rock) Michael Anthony says it was only after Sammy Hagar left Van Halen that the two became close friends. Former Van Halen bassist Anthony and Hagar later teamed up on Chickenfoot and are currently working together on Hagar's solo project.

The pair worked together during Hagar's two spells with Van Halen, but they really hit it off as friends once Hagar had left the fold entirely in 2005. Anthony tells the Niagara Gazette:

"It wasn't until after Sammy left Van Halen that we connected on a personal level. We have a lot in common beyond the music, we love the beach and we love cars, and when you have common interests it reflects in the music you play together." More on this story.
