NEW SUPER-GROUP PROMISES TO BRIGHTEN UP 2002 FOR ROCK MUSIC FANS
A new supergroup is being formed in Los Angeles, with plans being formulated for
an
album then a US tour.
The group will be fronted by former Van Halen vocalist Sammy
Hagar. Playing alongside Hagar will be long time friend and current Journey
guitarist Neal Schon.
It's no secret that Sammy and Neal have been looking for a situation where they
could
work together again.
News of the pair's intended plans have been the subject of
discussion on a dozen Internet message boards.
Current Journey (and former Hardline) drummer Deen Castronovo is also involved
with the project.
But the interesting twist in this tale is the question of
just who would be the bass player.
The hottest tip out of L.A. for this position is none other than Sammy's former
band mate
- Van Halen's own Michael Anthony.
Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony have maintained their
friendship over the years, despite Hagar's acrimonious split with the band he
fronted for over a decade.
The only individual that has recently commented on anything related to the
band's
activities - Brad Starks, Van Halen's webmaster, was
contacted for a comment, but had
not replied at time of printing this.
It is understood that a legendary rock n roll manager is behind the super
group's plans and is shopping a Studio Album and US Tour package to various
companies.
The other rumour associated with this super group project is the possible
inclusion of a second guitarist.
If so, the hottest tip from LA based sources is that the position was offered to
and accepted by former Guns N Roses guitarist
Slash.
Planning is still in it's early stages and
there is as yet, no suggestions on the board for a name to
the project.
Until a formal Press Release is made available,
consider this group a work in progress. No one yet seems sure about
the time line involved here either. But I hope full confirmation of the band's
line up, plus plans for the album and tour will be announced soon.
