Sammy Hagar

Aside from being one of rock's more distinctive vocalists, Sammy Hagar is a pretty decent guitarist. But for big chunks of his career, he's had the good fortune of not having to lean on his own chops. In fact, he's played with some of the genre's best axemen, including two of rock's greatest living guitarists: Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen.

After 40 years in the business, Sammy Hagar wasn't looking to discover a new way to make records. But that's exactly what he accidentally did with 'Sammy Hagar & Friends,' a collection of spontaneously recorded songs that features almost as many musical styles as guest stars.

Sammy Hagar has treated his post-Van Halen solo career like one big party, and with his latest release, he's rounded up an undeniably impressive guest list.

'Sammy Hagar & Friends' might be the most guest star-studded rock records of the fall, and Hagar has just released the video for 'Knockdown Dragout,' which features Joe Satriani, Denny Carmassi, and Kid Rock.

Sammy Hagar is going all out for his first solo record in five years.

Sammy Hagar has invited nearly a dozen friends, current and former bandmates to join him on 'Sammy Hagar and Friends,' his new studio album due in stores Sept. 24. Kid Rock, Journey's Neal Schon, Chickenfoot's Chad Smith and Joe Satriani and members of Montrose are amongst the stars announced this morning.

Featuring guest appearances by some of his favorite collaborators, and at least one surprising cover, Sammy Hagar's new album is shaping up to be one of the more eagerly anticipated of the fall. The Red Rocker premiered portions of the record during a recent interview.

Sammy Hagar has been added to the growing all-star lineup of Toby Keith's Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert, scheduled for July 6.

If you've ever thought to yourself, 'Wow, I'd sure like to hear Sammy Hagar cover Depeche Mode,' then you're in luck. In a new interview, Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith says he recently helped the Red Rocker lay down a new recording of 'Personal Jesus,' along with several other tracks.

Sammy Hagar returned to his hometown of Fontana, Calif. this weekend to be honored by the city as part of their 100th anniversary celebration. In addition to serving as the Honorary Grand Marshal of the 2013 Fontana Days Parade, the town presented the "Red Rocker" with a sign for Hagar Way, a new street dedicated to their hometown hero.

Don't look now, but Sammy Hagar is celebrating 40 years as a professional rocker, and he's bringing the party to his fans with a series of summer tour dates.
