If Van Halen tour again, who will front the band? Michael Anthony says the time is right for the band to perform with both David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar.
In a new interview airing on 'Oprah: Where Are They Now?,' Sammy Hagar says he wants to be friends with Van Halen and apologizes for past bad comments.
25 years ago, Van Halen dumped their long-time engineer Donn Landee, and brought in Andy Johns, who once engineered Led Zepplin, and then brought in Ted Templeman, who used to produce Van Halen when David Lee Roth was around. They created an album that was a departure from their sound and their subject matter. Sammy Hagar tells how the album got it's name.
When Sammy Hagar entered the studio to record what he thought would be the contract-fulfilling closing chapter of his solo career with 1987's I Never Said Goodbye LP, he brought along his new Van Halen bandmate Eddie Van Halen to play bass and co-produce.
Sammy Hagar's latest band, the Circle, delivers a hit-studded live show that offers classic cuts from throughout his career — but he claims Alex and Eddie Van Halen would love to prevent him from performing the songs they wrote and recorded together during his stint in Van Halen.
