Van Halen might wanna get someone from their camp outside of ex-singer Sammy Hagar talking about their upcoming new album, cause he’s not exactly working hard to shift units for the band lately.
Sammy Hagar has accused his former bandmates in Van Halen of using their ex-bassist Michael Anthony‘s backing vocals via tape in concerts on their 2008 tour with singer David Lee Roth, even though Anthony was not performing with the band at the time.
It's been 27 years since David Lee Roth recorded an album with Van Halen and the wait is almost over. Next week the band is rumored to be releasing the first single "Late Term".
It's just a 30-second clip -- a riff, really -- and you'll have to wait until September to hear the full album, but if you've been eager for a taste of the new Chickenfoot record, the band has what you're looking for.
Sammy Hagar's Biography Red:My Uncensored Life in Rock came out last month, which gave us plenty of time to read it. And we still didn't. Luckily Rolling Stone did.
In Van Halen's Classic "Live Without a Net Video", Sammy Hagar introduces "Love Walks In", by saying "This is a song about Aliens". Turns out he wasn't joking.
During our Awesome 80's weekend, we wish we could settle one of the biggest debates in Rock History. Sammy or Dave? At Jack we love both and you'll get plenty of Van Halen from the 80's this weekend. Meanwhile this week, the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar tells Rolling Stone Magazine that Eddie Van Halen is kind of a fruitcake, and the band is dysfunctional. Does he think he's burning bridges? Not at all.
