hagars says he's done

[farmer ted]

f.y.i. last night va. radio station 104.9 reported "sammy hagar says his latest solo album, not 4 sale, will be his last. hagar says he has no intentions of retiring from the music biz, but says he's done all he can do as a solo artist." could this mean......

We can only hope it's another little snippet Sam's coming back to VH... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Could this mean....What??? Sammy back in VH? I'll believe it when I see it or hear it.

This confirms all of our suspicions. Sammy's gonna be the lead singer of a reunited ABBA!!!!! It's Party Time! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Great first post.

While it does smell like bullshit.........I was curious about the "call letters" of the radio station.

Any additional information would be greately appreciated.

Well, if he is back in VH that mean's we'll never hear any of the classic VH stuff....EVER! I hope they flop with him....

I think the chances of them floping with Hagar are very slim but I agree we won`t get to here the DLR era stuff . I`d welcome Sam back but they`ve got to play some of the old classics .

This isn't the first time he's said this. When he was on Rockline, back in October, he said the same thing. He had no intention of doing this album, and has no intention of doing another. I wouldn't read TOO much into it.

I would imagine if they start to play the same crap and the same boring show it will happen again....

*sigh*

Anyway...You can listen to the Rockline interview HERE.

If Sammy does come back to VH then I see him a bit more willing now to sing some more classic VH than he was before.
Reason being that after this past summer, I feel like he got what the fans want. But he knows that Dave can't pull them off like he used to.
He no longer feels "threatend" by Dave's legend.

A boring concert with Sammy?
I've seen VH with dave a few times and it was the same show. Basically the same stage set-up, same old "Davisms", 4 guys going in their own direction on stage, not much interaction and continuity. The lead singer fucking up his own lyrics and not remembering them quite often.

Then I see the stage set for 5150, OU812, F.U.C.K. and Balance tours and they are all different. They look very happy "together" and look like they are a team. I even got that impression when Gary toured with them. Again, a different stage set-up.

"NOT 4 SALE" did seem like it was an un-planned release by Sam. Maybe the whole Sam & Dave tour was a test to see if he and Dave could co-exhist together for something with VH in the future. If Sammy doesn't have any plans to do another solo album right now is probably either due to him returning to VH or the Planet Us thing. I still don't think that PLanet Us will be happening for the forseable future, Van Halen will come first for Mike and possibly Sammy.

It's the songs that they play live that are boring...that's what brings it down. Even people sending in revue's of DLR/SH this summer...Sammy played a good set, but completely brought the crowd down with some of his mellow songs and boring ass stories. Who cares if the stage setup was different on each SH-VH tour...the songs they play are boring which brought me down whenever I saw them....They don't know how to keep the crowd on their feet with Sammy...

Yeah don't read too much into Hagars "retirement" as a solo artist. Artist do this all the time. Look at The Who. They go away and come back every few years.
