In a new interview with Jose Mangin, Sammy Hagar talked about other bands.
During the chat, Mangin stated that his favorite band is Pantera.
To this, Hagar confessed that their manager proposed he become their lead vocalist.
Here is how he recalled:
“Let me tell you something crazy. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it’s true. But Pantera had a manager. This was before I actually became friends with Vinnie. He said Pantera, want me to be their lead singer of the band, could you be interested and I said ‘No, not after Van Halen, I’m not going to another band especially covering for somebody else.’
He continued:
“And I brought it up to Vinnie one time, and he doesn’t remember it, but I don’t know if there is any truth in it.”
