Sammy Hagar is following through on his promise to release new music with Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony, and Jason Bonham.
“It’s really, really good,” Hagar told ABC Audio. “And the idea is to channel the Van Halen way of writing. Let Joe write some crazy, whacked out guitar music, and I’ll just write lyrics and sing to it.”
Hagar also said he’s also up for another Best Of All Worlds tour.
“Because if we don’t, then those songs, nobody’s going to play ’em,” said Hagar. “There is no one else to play those songs, and I’d hate to see that stuff just fade out.
“Obviously those people want to hear those songs,” Hagar added. “So if they want to hear those songs, it ain’t about money, it ain’t about success and fame and fortune, it’s about I got to serve it to ’em because I wrote ’em.”
When that next tour happens, Hagar plans to add Van Halen songs that the band didn’t make the setlist this past summer, including “Love Walks In” from the 5150 album.
“We couldn’t get it done on this tour,” he says. “It just didn’t come together. So we’ll figure that one out.”
