Exclusive: SAMMY HAGAR Talks About Project With JOE SATRIANI, MICHAEL ANTHONY And CHAD SMITH
Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 11:38:24 EST


BW&BK spoke to SAMMY HAGAR before a smokin’ party of a WABOS show yesterday at Casino Rama (north of Toronto), and got a little more out of the Red Rocker on his recently touched upon new musical project…

“Well, JOE SATRIANI (guitar), Chad Smith (drums) from the CHILI PEPPERS, and Michael Anthony (ex-VAN HALEN bassist) and myself, we got together for a weekend and it was extremely prolific. You know, eight songs came out of it. Joe and I got together one day before and kind of came up with a few ideas, and it was just so good that we were saying, ‘Geez, we better kind of make a record.’ So I built a brand-new studio… otherwise we would already have it done, and it’s just getting done, so I think we’re going to try get together in August and see if we can make a CD. I don’t know, I mean it’s crazy in this day and age to think about even making a whole CD, to me, but I think we can do it. It’s just so good; I can’t believe it. It’s like a cross between Van Halen and LED ZEPPELIN, and a little bit of a funkier thing, because Chad’s drumming… he so funky. It’s pretty interesting that the combination… you know, it’s like chemistry. You can put the best players in the world together and you think it’s going to be great and you go, ‘Geez, this isn’t great at all,’ or it’s better than you thought. And this is better than we even thought.”

Sounds like Van Hagar mach-2.

I actually hope they come out with an album, it sounds like a promising line-up. Also, maybe it will give the current Van Halen line-up more incentive to match and come out with thier own new cd.
 
I like Satriani, I'll give them a try (aka download) because the rest does nothing for me.
