Interviewing Michael Anthony is like completing a really difficult four-piece jigsaw puzzle. But after Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar and Chad Smith, hooking-up with the fourth and final member of 'Chickenfoot' was compulsory…

If you're not yet familiar with the Led Zep-rivalling supergroup, you'll probably recognise Michael Anthony as a founding member of Van Halen. Anthony joined the band as bassist in 1974, before being replaced by Eddie Van Halen's son - Wolfgang - in 2004.

As well as a series of Yamaha bass guitars, Anthony boasts his own custom-made Jack Daniel's model. Shaped like a whiskey bottle, of course. Check out this video to see it in action.
