To say things between Van Halen and former members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony are strained is maybe a bit of an understatement. But despite the tensions there still a lot of love there for what the current Chickenfoot members did with their former band.
Hagar tells Vegas Rocks! in a new video interview that he’s still disappointed that the friendship with his former bandmates has concluded. He explains, “I could get along with Alex. I got along at one time with Eddie amazingly. Obviously Mike and I are dearest friends on the planet, but Ed and I … he turned on me. It was a horrible, horrible ending to a beautiful, beautiful story, and I’m still disappointed that they have not reached out to be friends, especially Alex, because Alex and I didn’t have a problem.” However, Hagar says he understands that Alex has to side with his brother.
But while the chips have fallen where they may, Hagar says he has no regrets where he is now as Chickenfoot is satisfying every musical need he has. He adds, “I am not hungry for any reunion, I am not hungry for any other band, and I am completely in love with Chickenfoot. If it wasn’t for that, I’d be bummed about the Van Halen situation.”
When asked if he might ever patch things up with Eddie Van Halen, Hagar said, “I can’t see why we wouldn’t and I can’t see why we shouldn’t, but I don’t know. It’s not my goal. I’m not out there wasting energy on that. As far as I’m concerned, he owes me an apology. As far as I’m concerned, if he wanted to be friends, he should reach back out to me because what happened on that reunion tour in ’04 was some of the most miserable, back-stabbing dark crap I’ve ever been involved with my whole life and I would never go through that again with anybody or for any amount of money or any amount of fame and fortune or nothing.”

Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
He's not out there wasting energy on that?! Is that not all he wastes his breathe on? Breathe requires energy. He's been wasting lots of it.
I love the last interview...spammy burning all the bridges...go on, man, go on!!!

I love reading how Hagar thinks he is the hardest done by guy in rock history. He got paid, well. Still gets royalty cheques. How about the way you (and your band, management etc.) tried your best to sink Dave publicly?
Dave (with or without VH) should have gone on to greater heights but in the end was dismissed pretty much as a typical lead singer Froot Loop as he was brandished with tags like Fag, Lounge Lizard, Show Boat that YOU Hagar only fueled.
Wacky Dave.
"I'm sure Dave's difficult, like I said, hey, I wouldn't want to be around a guy who acts like that all the time. You know, who starts bumping and grinding in the middle of the street and stuff? You know, walking down the street? Probably stops and does his little number, you know. It's just silly."
I'm thinking about changing the little of this thread, mainly because of the word "Ched". For one thing, it's an insult to cheese, and everyone I've ever met likes cheese. Really, a little bit of the stuff on a hamburger or between a couple of crackers is delightful, and only adds to one's enjoyment.
On the other hand, if you add even the smallest increment of Sammy Hagar to anything, you end up puking your insides out, washing out your eyes and wishing to scrub out your ear canal with a Brillo pad. To sum it up...

The heart is on the left. The blood is red.
well said. i love joe too, he's a great human being as well as an unbelievably talented musician.
it's just a shame he didn't go with a more worthy frontman.
i'm gonna hit 4000 posts tonite!!
I met him once in Stockholm, many years ago, when he played here. On the day of the show I was going through Old Town and I couldn't belive when I saw him, he was with his wife and kid, and he had a hat and sunglasses on, and I just thought what the hell, I'll bother him. And even though he was with his family, he was the sweetest and kindest guy ever.
i know! i met him in brisbane 4 years ago and straight out told him that he gave me a career. he was so gracious and humble as i related how an 18 year old punk from the boondocks of australia got inspired to become a real 'guitarist', and teacher, because of him. we both had welling eyes as he signed my 'not of this earth' tab book. i'll never forget that moment. music is a powerful thing, ay?
not to mention BLOOD AND FIRE!!!!
somethin crazy happens... then BOOM! i'm doin the victory dance.
I wonder if he's coming out with a penis-flavored tequila?
Satriani I think has too much going on in the music for some singer to just detract from. Hagar is a mainstream Beiber wanna be.
Who da fuck would be just right for Satch?
Unfortunately for Joe, I think he's type cast himself as an instrumentalist. Of the Chickenfoot I've given a listen to, I just hear a guy who's settling to keep it simple for rock's sake, but salivating at the same time to go berserk as he has in his past with an all out barrage of too many damn notes! Guys like Satch reach into their trick bag so often that guys like me keep saying, "that riff's from this, that riff's from that". Just as Barry Williams will forever be Greg Brady, Satch will always be that guy who played Satch Boogie (Y'know, the Hot For Teacher rip off minus singing).
Poor Satch. Can't escape who he is. Destined for solitude in his room with his 8-track and axe.
I can't think of any vocalist that would fit right with Satch.
i'd give it a go.
and i'm fair to middle on the rhythm guitar.

The Red Retard is on History Channel, on an episode of American Restoration entitled "Right Here, Rum Now "
http://www.hennemusic.com/2012/09/sa...-american.html
In an episode entitled “Right Here, Rum Now,” Sammy hires Rick to restore a vintage refrigerator into a rum dispenser - something Hagar calls a "Rumerator."
The hookup between the two is a promotion for Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, the latest addition to Hagar’s alcohol empire. Distilled on Maui by Mark Nigbur of Pau Vodka, the Red Rocker launched the drink in Hawaii last November and it was introduced Stateside in February.
The Hagar episode of American Restoration premieres Wednesday, September 26 at 9:30pm eastern / 8:30pm central.
This is unbelievable
I saw the Godawful commercial for that mutual reach-around and ass-feltching fest. God it looks bad...
