Gary Graff of Billboard.com reports: Sammy Hagar, who's currently on the road with former VAN HALEN bandmate Michael Anthony as his special guest, has a number of projects in the works. First among them is a new album, the follow-up to last year's "Livin' It Up". Hagar says he's about "halfway through" with it and plans to finish recording in December and January for an expected second quarter of 2008 release.
"It's quirky music," Hagar says. "It's a little bit more worldbeat and kinda harder rock, more like going back to (1981's) 'Standing Hampton' or (1984's) 'VOA' or something. Those records were very '80s, with a little bit of influence of Peter Gabriel and people like that. Now I think it's more Peter Gabriel-influenced with a hard rock edge on it."
Hagar will support the album with a summer festival tour, for which he plans an "anthology" tour that will feature the original MONTROSE lineup, his original SAMMY HAGAR BAND, his current group, the WABOS, and a "superstar guitarist" that will join him and Anthony to play VAN HALEN material.

Better yet, don't read any more. It doesn't get any better, trust me.
How DARE that piece of shit compare himself to someone like Peter Gabriel! Gabriel is a fucking GENIUS of music! Hagar has made a living off of driving the road David Lee Roth paved for him.
Of course, we all know this...
I can't believe that fuck even thinks for a second that he's in the same catagory as Pete...
:mad:
