Sammy Hagar discussed why he was persuaded Joe Satriani was the appropriate guitarist to represent Eddie Van Halen on the Van Halen tribute tour, which began this week. They've known each other for years and were both members of Chickenfoot, along with Michael Anthony.
However, in a recent interview with Classic Rock, Hagar revealed that there was more to it than simply hitting the road with an old friend. "A million guys could've done it - well, not a million," the singer admitted. "But you walk into a music store and see a 12-year-old kid sitting on an amp with one of Eddie's guitars, playing 'Eruption.'"
