Original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony was asked if he had any regrets about his career and he revealed that he wishes that the legendary band would have ended in a much bigger way.
Anthony made the comments during a new interview with Get On The Bus. He shared, "The only regret that I have is how things, unfortunately, turned out for Van Halen. It's a culmination of everything that happened or whatever, because when Van Halen was really firing on all 12 cylinders, we're living the dream, it's the fairy tale or whatever, and the first time it ended when Roth left the band, luckily Sammy joined the band and it was like a rebirth. And, obviously, the band was even bigger at that point or whatever. (continue)

Made with a spirit of bolstered confidence, the longstanding band has built a composed foundation upon sonic agelessness and brutal honesty.

The Violent Hour, the new project launched by Butcher Babies founding vocalist Carla Harvey, have shared a brand new single called "Hell Or Hollywood' that features a guest appearance from Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society guitarist Zakk Wylde.
"I wanted to write a song that felt the way I did when I first moved to Los Angeles at twenty," Carla explains, "like my motorcycle boots hitting the Sunset Strip for the very first time. I had driven across the country with nothing but a paper map, no friends, no plan-just a dream. I figured I'd survive somehow, and every day was exactly that: survival. There were moments that nearly broke me, followed by the kind of euphoric highs that made it all worth it. That's what Hell or Hollywood is: the chaos, illusion and grit in perfect juxtaposition. Wouldn't leave it if you could..." (continue)

"I always like writing songs with Steven," says Babiuk. "I had this song idea for 'Your Strange Love' and Stevie took the lyrics to a whole different level with a Venus in Furs vibe and had us add a tambura to give the song a more mystic feel. Stevie knows how to get the job done!" (continue)
