These songs.” Delving deeper into those years. We’re going to talk about some of my favorites throughout my career, but seeing fans old and new really embrace the new series resonates a lot with Mikey and me. We were at my 76th birthday party in Cabo, and we looked at each other, high-fived, and said, “Let’s do it.” We pulled out a couple of them, and from our first jam, we There was an immediate love fest with fans. The music we create will outlive us all. They deserve to be heard, so it’s time for us to get out there and provide music for the fans while we still can. “

Hagar and Anthony previously worked with Satriani in supergroup Chickenfoot. They made two albums between 2009 and 2011 and toured across the United States, but never performed a Van Halen song. After Chickenfoot, Halen and Anthony began playing with guitarist Vic, Johnson and Jason Bonham on the Van Halen track Sammy Hagar and the Circle. This new lineup is essentially a mashup of Chickenfoot and the Circle, and is the closest thing to a Van Halen tour so far.
In 2022, Satriani revealed that he had been contacted to perform in a Van Halen tribute show with David Lee Roth and alex van halen“I met Alex when I went to Los Angeles,” Satriano told Q104.3 in New York. “But I think there are some internal issues that need to be addressed with the family… A lot of times, I told Alex, ‘Are you sure about me?’ because I didn’t act like Eddie. I was just, ‘I’m a huge fan. Of course I could play the stuff. But Eddie was so original — like he was running around the stage and singing and playing. It was awesome.”
The project never got off the ground, but now Satriani has another chance to tackle Van Halen classics as well as select songs from Hagar’s solo career. A press release states that they will play “Finish What Ya Started,” “5150,” “Your Love Makes Me Crazy,” “The Best of Both Worlds,” “Pound Cake,” “Sexy Little Thing,” and “One Way to Rock ”, “Now”, “Good enough” and “The eagle flies”.
