In a new interview with Guitar World, Steel Panther guitarist Satchel opened up about the Van Halen album ‘5150’.
Here’s what he said:
“This record, 5150, took some time to grow on me because I was so mad Van Halen split up. And it didn’t sound like the Van Halen I knew – they were growing and evolving. I hated that when I was younger.”
He added:
“That’s probably why I formed Steel Panther, so I could just be happy not growing or evolving.“
As many of you know, ‘5150’ is the seventh studio album by Van Halen which was released on March 24, 1986, gaining major success as it peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
In addition to its success, the album is the first one to feature Sammy Hagar as the lead vocalist after David Lee Roth’s departure.
