CHICKENFOOT/ex-VAN HALEN frontman SAMMY HAGAR & THE
WABOS are opening select dates on AEROSMITH’s Cocked, Loaded,
Ready To Rock North American Tour. “This Aerosmith tour is cool,” he
tells Doug Elfman from VegasLand. “I really thought I was gonna rip the
place apart and they were gonna throw me off the tour. But you can’t
blow them off the stage. They’re great. They’re back at the top of their
game. Steven (Tyler) is singing his butt off. It’s a great concert.”
Rocknation publisher Tom Mathers caught the Woodlands show and
had this to say about it. “Sammy Hagar continues to deliver live and in
the studio, and shows no slowing down for a long time. All these young
bands should listen and learn from the master songwriter and
performer. Now days not naming any bands but many continue to put
out a record with mediocre songs, while Sammy continues to write rock
masterpieces. That is why I gave Chickenfoot the #1 Hard Rock CD pick
of 2009.”
