In a recent interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, singer Sammy Hagar revealed that he collaborated on a new song, together with Eddie Van Halen, in one of the dreams he had.
Here’s what the singer said:
“I shouldn’t be hyping it now. Nobody knows this but [my Circle bandmates] Michael Anthony, Jason [Bonham], and Vic [Johnson].
”About two months ago, I had this dream and Eddie came. We were in a room like this, with a bunch of people around. It was just like he’d been gone. It was not like he was passed, but he had just been out of my life and we hadn’t seen each other for a while.
”He’s going, ‘Man, let’s write some music!’ I said, ‘Yeah, f*ck it, man. Here, let’s go!’ We went over into a corner, in this room. He had a guitar and he played me this thing.
”It was like this lick, [just like] the last lick that Eddie Van Halen showed me, when I went back for the [2004] reunion tour and when he was a mess. I said, ‘Eddie, show me your newest s*it,’ because every time I’d be around him I’d say, ‘Show me your newest sh*t.’ He’d say, ‘Oh, check this out!'”
