So much of the time people focus on the awesome power of Led Zeppelin, the whole 'Hammer of the Gods' thing, but John Paul Jones, probably because he was a session player, he put a lot of thought into his playing. He didn't just lumber through.

Black with flames, that's how I always envisioned a roadster. That was the classic hot rod. I used to draw pictures of roadsters with flames on them in school.

I didn't have any money to buy a car, so when I got my license I did not have a car at first.

Chad Smith is a member of Chickenfoot, and that's that.

You can be a supergroup without having good songs.

I always said to my wife, 'That's for sissies. Girls get facials.' The first time I tried it I said, 'Oh man, what the hell have I been missing all these years.' Let me tell you, I go in there for about an hour and a half, and the girl does my facial and also massages my neck and my arms.

It's an honor to be brought into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and I'm going to show up if I'm invited, you know?!

Probably for drums, a guy I really enjoyed watching is Simon Phillips. I've seen him play with The Who and with Pete Townshend on his own - a really great drummer.

It always sucks to have to cancel a show because of illness, but unfortunately it sometimes happens.

I drink Jack Daniel's. I drink tequila. But you do it in moderation.

Like music, cooking and more specifically, barbecuing is one of my greatest passions and my sauce is a celebration of these simple pleasures in life. I am thrilled to have my original BBQ sauces featured on Hard Rock's menu, as both embody the true meaning of rock 'n' roll flavor.

Michael Anthony

Oh, I just love playing music.

Michael Anthony

God, what can I say about Chickenfoot that hasn't already been said?

Michael Anthony

I'm the ultimate rock 'n' roll sideman. But that doesn't mean a 'sideman' isn't vital.

Michael Anthony

Chickenfoot, my relationship with those guys is great.

The band changes one guy, sometimes the whole damn thing changes - look what happened when I joined Van Halen.

Michael Anthony

My father played music, so I was always around music, even from the time I was born. My father actually was the one that originally got me into music.

Michael Anthony

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.'

Michael Anthony

In my business, you could be making money one day, and the next day you could be serving up burgers at McDonald's. So if you want to be able to stay on top of your game, you've got to keep with it.

Michael Anthony

Chickenfoot is phenomenal. I can't believe the music we're making.

Michael Anthony

Lead singers, they're their own breed.
