Sammy Hagar - Coming up next Wednesday, we welcome the "red rocker"
Sammy Hagar to Rockline! In a Los Angeles press conference on April
16, 2002, David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar announced they have joined
forces for an unprecedented concert tour kicking off Wednesday, May
29th in Cleveland, Ohio. This is the first time these legendary
rock'n'rollers will be sharing a stage, each performing their arsenal
of hits on this co-headline tour--for Sammy, hits like "I Can't Drive
55," "Heavy Metal," "There's Only One Way To Rock," "Your Love Is
Driving Me Crazy," and some of the many hits he had with Van Halen
like "Why Can't This Be Love," Right Now," "Dreams," "Finish What Ya
Started," and "When It's Love." Of course, Sammy Hagar was the lead
singer of Van Halen from 1985 to 1998, while David Lee Roth fronted
the band from it's start in 1978 until 1985. Sammy still spends a lot
of time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, at his "Cabo Wabo" cantina (of
which he also has his brand tequila), where he recently played some
shows to celebrate the club's 12th anniversary. Sammy joined Montrose
in 1973 (formed by ex- Edgar Winter guitarist Ronnie Montrose) and
became a minor rock hero in the Bay Area of San Francisco, in
particular acquiring a reputation as a potent live performer. After
two albums with Montrose he left to go solo, achieving a string of
successful albums and singles--1983's Three Lock Box became his first
Top 20 entry, and included "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy", which
reached number 13 in the singles chart. Hagar then took time out to
tour with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, Kenny Aaronson (bass) and
Michael Shrieve (drums, ex- Santana), recording a live album under
the band's initials HSAS. Returning to solo work, Hagar enjoyed his
biggest hit to date with the Voice Of America out-take, "I Can't
Drive 55". In 1985 he surprised many by joining Van Halen, from whom
Dave Lee Roth had recently departed. Don't miss this legendary artist
as he talks about this upcoming legendary tour, only next week on
Rockline!

[WhoHalen]

I thought it was on 97.5 at last check, but I could be wrong.

[Don Kirschner Fan]

I'd love to hear about all of the deals that've been thrown the bands way to do anything from a full-fledged reunion to playing somebody's back-yard party!

It was a good interview. Sam says he only throws up once a year, the day after his b-day party. Said something along the lines that his musical tastes are changing nowadays. I don't think that's good news. He also said he can't bring himself to sing Rock-n-Roll Weekend at every show but does want to sing Right Now at every one. I would rather hear his older stuff like Rock-n-Roll Weekend but that's me. He threw a few jabs at Dave but they were all in fun. He also claimed that Keith Richards supposedly bought up every bottle of the Cabo tequila that could be found on the island of Oahu on a recent trip there.

Keith was probably taking it home to the boys so they could drink it while planning their press conference. They had to have been shitfaced to come up with that blimp thing
