I know many hate Sam, but this sounds like a good time.

SAMMY HAGAR, MICHAEL ANTHONY, JASON BONHAM And JOE SATRIANI Announce 'The Best Of All Worlds' 2024 Tour

Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Sammy Hagar is embarking on the long-awaited "The Best Of All Worlds" 2024 tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals),Jason Bonham (drums) and revealed on Nov 14 on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show" that Joe Satriani, one of the best guitar players in the world, will complete the band. Produced by Live Nation and featuring special guests LOVERBOY, the 28-date tour will commence on July 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida and will conclude on August 31 in St. Louis, Missouri. Pre-sales begin on Wednesday, November 15 at 10 a.m. General on-sale begins Friday, November 17 at 10 a.m. local. For tickets and more details, go to RedRocker.com.

"We're gonna go deep into the VAN HALEN catalog," Hagar told "The Howard Stern Show". "If you're gonna go deep into the VAN HALEN catalog, you need Joe Satriani."

Although Hagar and Anthony normally play five or six VAN HALEN songs" on the road with THE CIRCLE, Sammy told Stern they are planning to only play "five or six of my songs" alongside VAN HALEN classics and deep cuts.

"When we go out next year in July, it will be almost exactly 20 years since Mike and I did a reunion with Ed [Eddie Van Halen] and Al [Alex Van Halen] in '04," Hagar said. "Mike and I just said, 'We can't wait another 20 years. How long can I even sing these songs? How long can I do this stuff? I just thought it's time to serve the fans."

"There's stuff we're going to do on this next tour that we haven't played since that tour in 2004," Anthony added.

Regarding the challenge of learning legendary VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen's parts, Satriani said: "There are things that are so iconic, you have to nail it. But if you go deep with what he did live, he never played the same thing twice. He kept evolving; he kept pushing. He'd do the recorded version a little bit, but then he moved on.

"It's a daunting task when you do the deep dive into what he did," he continued. "But it's good to start at the beginning, and then you just learn all his little improvs and you get the idea of what he was trying to do. It's thrilling; it's fun."

The tour follows on the heels of the chart-topping success of "The Collection II", the box set released October 6 featuring newly remastered versions of the four consecutive #1 albums released during the Hagar era of VAN HALEN: "5150" (1986),"OU812" (1988),"For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" (1991) and "Balance" (1995). A reminder to fans of the arsenal of hits, many which haven't been played live since the band's 2004 reunion tour. Collectively, Anthony, Satriani and Bonham have played together in nearly every phase of Hagar's career including VAN HALEN, CHICKENFOOT and THE CIRCLE, so fans can expect a setlist which draws from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last four decades, including "Finish What Ya Started", "5150", "Your Love is Driving Me Crazy", "Best of Both Worlds", "Poundcake", "Sexy Little Thing", "One Way To Rock", "Right Now", "Good Enough", "Eagles Fly" and more. They've also enlisted legendary Australian musician Rai Thistlethwayte on keyboard and backing vocals. The tour represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this band of brothers deliver one of the most legendary hits-packed live shows of their career.

"It's crazy to think that it'll be 20 years since Mikey and I played these songs with VAN HALEN on the 04' 'Best Of Both Worlds' tour," Hagar said in a press release. "With Joe on board, we can take a deeper dive into those years. We're going to touch on some hits from my entire career but seeing fans old and new really embrace the new collection set off something in Mikey and I. We were at my Birthday Bash in Cabo for my 76th and looked at each other and high fived, like 'let's do it.' We pulled out a couple of them and it was an instant lovefest with the fans from our first riffs. The music we created is going to outlive us all. They deserve to be heard so it's time we go out and serve the fans that music, while we still can."

I can't imagine why anybody would hate Sammy Hagar. He's always struck me as very up front about shit and down to earth. I saw him with Van Halen on the OU812 tour 30+ years ago and it was a fantastic show.

I'd have no problem paying to see this line up. Satriani was really bringing it in that video.

Agreed, but there are quite a few red rocker haters out there.

Agreed. Seeing Joe is what got me to take a closer look.

Saw Sammy this summer. Can't do the high stuff anymore but the music was very good. Had Mikey sing all the high parts.

**Dartgod** · 11-17-2023, 11:24 AM

My sister lives in St. Louis and already bought tickets for this, so I grabbed a pair for the wife and I. Should be a great show.

Sammy may well be the coolest, most down to earth guy in rock n roll... anyone who doubts that should watch a few of his "Rock n Roll Roadtrips" on youtube

But he was simply ALL wrong for Van Halen

While I admit I do like their earlier stuff better, I wouldn't say he was all wrong for VH; just different. For starters, Sammy was always a much better singer than Dave, and he could sing the early stuff just fine. Good luck to Roth ever trying to sing Hagar stuff. And who's to say that the band wouldn't have altered their newer stuff had they not parted ways with Dave.

I guess I'll also admit that my opinion has softened a bit over the decades because Sammy's so cool and Roth is a gigantic douche.

I think it was Billy Joel who said something along the lines of "I didn't think about singing these songs in my 60s when I wrote them in my 20s." Old age is a bitch - for most, the voice goes to hell along with everything else. At least he recognizes his limitations.

**Bowser** · 11-17-2023, 04:17 PM

I'd make the trip to St. Louis for this

I'm totally cool with Sammy lovers, that guy definitely rocks

His Rock n Roll Roadtrips are just fantastic, he'll go and hang and jam with anyone from John Mellencamp, Chad Smith from RHCP, Rick Springfield, Zach Wylde, Rob Halford, Ted Nugent and everyone in between at their homes or on their tour bus

He's a fantastic guy who'd I'd love to hang with one night in Cabo

I just honestly believe that Sammy is better without Eddie, and vice versa

Sammy is straight ahead
Eddie took angles
Dave had a swing that just worked better
Or something like that

**Easy 6** · 11-17-2023, 08:48 PM

Sammy can still howl like a wolf into his 70s, he's legit...
