In a recent Instagram post, Sammy Hagar fondly reminisced about a Van Halen show where they were pranked by members of Alice In Chains.
Hagar shared a picture from the live show, capturing the moment when Alice In Chains members joined Van Halen on stage, almost completely naked, and danced with Hagar while Eddie Van Halen looked on in amusement.
Reflecting on the experience, Hagar expressed that touring with Alice In Chains was exceptionally enjoyable, and he believes they had more fun with Alice In Chains than any other band that toured with them.
He speculated that the photo was taken in Seattle, possibly the last show of the leg, but emphasized that such playful moments occurred regularly throughout the tour. Hagar concluded his post by expressing his sincere miss for Layne Staley, praising his soulful vocals, and expressing enduring friendship with Jerry Cantrell. He concluded with a declaration of absolute love for the Alice In Chains members.
Here’s what he said:
In VH, I think we might have had more fun with Alice In Chains on tour than any band that toured with us. I believe this was in Seattle, probably the last show of the leg, but whatever, this kind of sh*t went on every night. I sincerely miss Layne Staley, soulful vocals and Jerry & I have remained very close friends. Absolutely love these guys!
