SAMMY HAGAR & CIRCLE Record New Song 'Funky Feng Shui' As Part Of 'Lockdown Challenge'

Sammy Hagar and his CIRCLE bandmates Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson are using the coronavirus downtime to make new music.

The four musicians connected via their smartphones from four separate locations to record a brand new song titled "Funky Feng Shui".

The track originated from a jam THE CIRCLE had been playing backstage to warm up for shows, with Bonham laying down his parts first, Johnson adding his guitar second, Anthony putting down his bass third and Hagar topping it off with his vocals.

A video of THE CIRCLE performing the track can be seen below.

"THE CIRCLE will be doing more of this, it's too much fun!" Hagar wrote in a message accompanying the Instagram clip.

SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE canceled its previously announced South American shows, which were scheduled to take place this month, due to the escalation of the new coronavirus (COVID-19).

At the moment, SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE is still scheduled to embark on a summer 2020 U.S. tour with NIGHT RANGER. WHITESNAKE recently pulled out of the trek so that frontman David Coverdale can undergo surgery for bilateral inguinal hernia.

SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE released their debut studio album, "Space Between", last May.

"The album is really about money, greed, enlightenment and truth," Hagar told Billboard about the LP's lyrical concept. "Money is not the problem. Money is beautiful; You can heal the sick, you can feed the poor, you can stop a war with money. It's greed that's the problem. So you shouldn't hate somebody just 'cause they're rich, especially if they didn't fuck anybody out of (the money) and if they do something good with it. Go guys like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, you can't be mad at them for being so rich. These guys build hospitals, build schools for children and other countries. Those are good guys. That's what you can do with money."

That was fucking awesome.

As Darrin says, sometimes rock bands overthink it.

Harmony and balance. Appropriate for these times.

It’s actually pretty good. Well done.

Is this a song of historical significance in the VH canon? To my knowledge, it's the first time I've seen Mike slapping.

Sammy hosts a radio thing once a week, and the theme was supergroups.

They played "Top of the Rock," from HSAS, and it still sounds absolutely killer, to my ears.
Then they played "Oh Yeah," or whatever that Chickenfoot song is called.

Afterwards, Sammy kinda dissed HSAS, and said "We definitely got a lot better at the
Supergroup thing with Chicken...."

The two songs, side by side, there was no comparison.
Top of the Rock, flat out rocked!

I think that's because "Top Of The Rock" is one of the best HSAS songs, and "Oh Yeah" one of the lesser CF efforts. If they had compared "Hot and Dirty" from HSAS with "Future In The Past" from CF, the results would've been different.

Top of the Rock>Oh Yeah, but CF>HSAS.
