Weekend Update

March 10, 2002 - Don't forget to enter the Peavey Wolfgang Custom Shop competition at van-halen.com. Every month they are giving away a custom guitar to one lucky winner. You have to enter each month to be eligible for that months prize. The guitar currently up for grabs is the Skulls & Flames design, valued at $3139.99.

Speaking of Peavey guitars, Eric in Whitman MA reports that the Plexi Glass Wolfgang Special featured in the new custom shop was played by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters last week on the VH1 Late Night show. (** Update 3/11 ** Ian Anderson emailed to say the guitar played by Grohl was actually a Dan Armstrong plexiglass guitar.)

The Peavey Wolfgang Special plexiglass guitar is also a favourite of Eddie Van Halen's. It was apparently strapped to his hip non-stop for a few weeks!

"Planet Us" Update From Michael Anthony

Michael posted the following update on his web site last Friday...

Things are getting pretty exciting these days. I thought you'd like to hear a little bit about two of the kick ass songs we've been working on, so strap in and check this out!

Vertigo has a slow, heavy groove and has Sammy's killer pipes all over it. Watch out for Neal Schon too, 'cuz this fucker be-a-shreddin'!

Peeping Through A Hole is a high energy song that will almost leave you pissed off by the time you're done listening to it because it's so intense. I especially dig the killer drum work on this song, compliments of my man Deen Castronovo.

We're currently bashing out some more tunes and I can't wait to open this baby up full throttle. Ow!

Stay tuned for more,
Michael
