We told you last month that Alex Van Halen was working on a new Van Halen project featuring unreleased music from the vaults. We also told you that the project was still in search of a vocalist. Speaking on the “Rock of Nations” show late last week, Sammy Hagar and bassist/vocalist Michael Anthony were asked if they are participating in the project.
“No. We haven’t been asked, number one,” Hagar replied. “I can tell you, Mike and I, the day I walked in the studio, in 5150, to basically, if you wanna call it, an audition, but to meet the guys and to play music, we played for about eight hours at least. And we recorded everything. Everything that I ever did, and every time we made a record, we recorded hundreds of hours of jams and music, and then we’d cut ’em up, made songs,” he explained, adding “But I’m disappointed that Mike and I wouldn’t be invited. It’s, like, what? Are you kidding me? We’re still alive. We’re out here doing it. We’re playing those songs. We can still do it, you know?”
