Whereas Van Halen itself is really finished and dusted – it could have been troublesome to proceed with out the legendary Eddie Van Halen – that’s to not say we received’t hear new music from its alumni sooner or later.

Sammy Hagar – who fronted the rock powerhouse between 1985 and 1996, and once more between 2003 and 2005 – is at present on the highway on a trek dubbed the Greatest Of All Worlds Tour, which sees him joined by former VH bassist Michael Anthony, in addition to guitarist Joe Satriani, drummer Jason Bonham and keyboardist Ray Thistlethwayte as they play a choice of Van Halen classics and different tracks.

However as he reveals in a brand new interview on the Bogus Otis podcast, the Greatest Of All Worlds band are literally eyeing up recording some new music of their very own.

“Sure. I assure it,” Hagar says [per Van Halen News Desk]. “I don’t know when and why as a result of information don’t promote! [laughs] I’ve made a few my greatest information of my life the final two solo information they usually’re fortunate to promote 50, 60 thousand [copies].

“You go and make a document these days simply to lose a pair hundred thousand bucks. It’s all good however, ya know, I want a tax write-off so it actually helps. I am going, ‘Look it. I made too many this yr, let’s go make a document! [laughs]”

Presently, such new music stays a pipe dream, as the concept has merely been floated round. However given the continuing success of the Greatest Of All Worlds tour, which started in August and can proceed till October, we wouldn’t be stunned if it does certainly grow to be a actuality.

In July, Hagar revealed that he’d tried extensively to get former Van Halen drummer and Eddie Van Halen’s brother Alex onboard for the present tour. “We reached out to him a dozen occasions earlier than this tour, in each manner,” he mentioned. “E-mail, textual content message, telephone name, message on the machine, OK? No response.”

Extra lately, Hagar proposed that the explanation for Alex’s aversion to speaking to him is the very fact he has a brand new e-book popping out in October, Brothers, which he describes as a “love letter” to his late brother.

“I’m positive when he made his e-book deal, they mentioned, ‘You can’t speak to Dave, and you can’t speak to Hagar,” he mentioned. “I assure you, that that was a part of the deal.”

Tickets for the continuing Greatest Of All Worlds Tour are nonetheless obtainable.
