Tired of the tequila-friendly party shows that he’s been performing for the last 13 years with his post-Van Halen solo band The Waboritas, Sammy Hagar tells Billboard.com his decision to form Chickenfoot with guitarist Joe Satriani, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith was a challenge he desired as an artist.
“I just got to a point where I felt I needed to grow,” Hagar says. “I was feeling stuck and stagnant. And the whole party thing I... Read Full Story

They don't seem thrilled about it, either.When it comes to Van Halen , I, like all people of decent character and sound genetic makeup, prefer the Diamond Dave era over Van Hagar by leaps and bounds, but there's no denying that Sammy Hagar is an important and significant part of Van Halen's history. So, yeah, it's kind of a bummer that Activision has confirmed that you won't be seeing the Red Rocker in Guitar Hero: Van Halen . But leaving out long-time bassist Michael Anthony in favor of...

Alternately, I think it would be hilarious if the game only featured Gary Cherone. Aerosmith , AC/DC , Metallica , and The Beatles have already done it, and it would seem that the trend of Guitar Hero and Rock Band games that focus specifically high-profile music acts isn't slowing down anytime soon. It's long since reached the point where it's about as popular to blindly speculate about which band should get Rock Banded next as it is to make jokey guesses about which movie franchise should...

David Lee Roth is one of the great frontmen of all-time. I think if Van Halen had kept their original lineup (Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen), Roth would be mentioned alongside greats like Mick Jagger, Roger Daltry, and even Robert Plan as the proto-type rock 'n' roll frontman. He had the voice, the moves and the charisma. I mention this to let you know, as the division of Van Halen's fans go, I'm a David Lee Roth guy. That being said, most of this post will be...

When it comes to conservative rockers, Ted Nugent takes the top spot. My mom, after reading Ted, White & Blue, is even a fan. There are a few others who side on the Republican side. Gene Simmons of KISS wasn't afraid to tell anyone Bush was right for the country in 2004. Alice Cooper recently opened a Christan center for kids. Sammy Hagar has been a contributor to California Republican Congresswoman Dana Rohrabacher for many years, and supported Bush in 2004. He also played in Minneapolis... Read Full Story
Four of rock's most celebrated musicians are joining forces in a new domino game played by old people band called ... Chickenfoot.
Guitarist Joe Satriani, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and rocker Sammy Hagar are now a rock-n-roll supergroup, sharing a name with a lame attempt at a party game . I guess they were all sitting around one night changing out their orthopedic inserts, when they decided that what they realized retirement... Read Full Story
