I was just listening to Sirius' "Buzzsaw" channel, and right before the DJ intro'd "Runnin' With The Devil", he said:
"Guess what Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony are doing right now? Recording an album together."
I've been keeping up with posts at the SHML regarding the recent Tahoe shows, and I didn't see anything like this mentioned in any of them. Is this true? If it is...WOW!!! :dance: |

| Only good things can come of this - it will distance Mike from that 'Other Half' garbage... my only regret is that Mike doesn't get out of Sam's shadow. He's better then Sam and needs to do something on his own, or get out of music all together. |

| I read an interview with Joe Satriani in this months Guitar Player. He talks briefly about doing something with Sammy, Mikey, and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers). Sounds to me like this would be the recording that's happening. |

Sammy and Mike will be recording an album with Chad and Joe and playing some live shows later in the year. Straight from the mouth of Joe Satriani at one of his shows in Glasgow on May 14th.
I will post a couple of pictures when i return from seeing Van Halen in the US. I recorded some of the Satriani show and if anybody wants to author it drop me an email and i will send it over.
Cheers Brian. |

| Several things come to mind when I read this. First, why is everyone so surprised that Joe Satriani is playing with them? There was a thread all about this a while back. Secondly, What happened to Mikes solo project that he said he had in the works? I remember it being something like a Mike and Friends kind of deal. |

From vhlinks...
New Sammy interview http://www.bestofwny.com/nightlife/
Sammy...
Hands down MIKE’S backing vocals and bass playing are as big a part of the VAN HALEN legacy as me, EDDIE, ALEX or DAVE. It has been and always will be an open door policy for MIKE in any band I’m in.
Ross CAT-In our previous interviews you’ve always made it clear about how much you respect ALEX VAN HALEN and that you thought that the VAN HALEN fans deserved a chance to see the original line-up tour with ROTH. Any desire to check out the current VAN HALEN tour which is getting primarily positive reviews in its second leg?
SAMMY- No I just can’t do it, after the last VAN HAGAR tour EDDIE became my enemy, he wasn’t the same guy he was when we started the VAN HAGAR era of the band; he made what should have been a great experience just down right miserable. Now when I say that I’m talking about the EDDIE VAN HALEN that is struggling with his personal demons, they’ve been pretty well documented.
I will say this, the fact that they are doing the tour with DAVE is awesome, they have owed the amazing VAN HALEN fans that for a longtime; but not taking MIKE out isn’t doing the ROTH era justice and it’s just wrong.
If you’re finally going to go out and bill yourself as the original VAN HALEN, then MIKE should be playing with them for GOD sake, that’s just my two cents. I understand EDDIE wanting to play with WOLFIE but he should just go out and start there own band.
That being said it seems that some positive has come out of this whole thing, last time I saw EDDIE he was in really bad shape a few years back; but I did see a recent photo and he looks healthier then he has in a long time. That to me is a great thing, EDDIE has all the support on the planet from me if he is finally getting his shit together. If this tour has helped him get himself together and clean up I’m so happy for that.
Ross CAT-Lastly, you toured with DAVID LEE ROTH back in 2003 any chance you’d be willing to set aside differences and give VAN HALEN fans the “Best of Both Worlds” with all 5 guys touring together?
SAMMY-As far as that goes that’s just not something I’m really interested in doin again right now, EDDIE would have to be able to bring himself back to ground zero; by that I mean he’d have to be completely clean.
Right Now I’m having the time of my life and looking forward to seeing all the Redheads on tour this summer as well as making some new friends on the “Poets and Pirates Tour” |

One of the funniest web VH things that I ever read was floating around a few years ago - it had rejected Spambo song titles... they were like 'I love the love we're making when we're makin the love we make' - if anyone has that list, it's funny as hell. |
