So it's just Michael Anthony from the original band? Hilarious. Who is going to play keyboards and how overpriced is this going to be?

That's why they're calling it a tribute tour.

Every concert these days is overpriced (unless you're an over the top diehard fan)

Why does the linked article state that Jason Newsted will not be part of the tour? He was in Metallica, not Van Halen.

I'd go if they had a closer show. I am probably in the minority, but I much prefer Hagar over Roth.

I recently paid $35 to see Dinosaur Jr. The overpriced shows tend to be the nostalgia old dudes that can't play anymore. Also, Van Halen after DLR sucks.

That's just another variant of Sammy and Michael's side projects, for lack of a better term "Chicken Circle". (Chickenfoot is Sammy, Michael, Satch and Chad Smith. The Circle is Sammy, Michael, Vic Johnson and Jason Bonham.)

Probably better to just call them Chickenfoot with Bonham instead of Smith, though.

You compare a one hit wonder (albeit very good musician songwriter) charging $35 to the rest of the more popular band tours as your example that concerts aren't overpriced? I'm sure all 100 people at that show were ecstatic at that cost.


The reality is that concerts are tremendously overpriced. You should've paid $10 for that show

Are you calling Dinosaur Jr a one hit wonder? - I asked where you were from yesterday, you never replied but now I know - Mars

Dinosaur Jr were far from a one hit wonder. Entire albums are truly great (You're Living All Over Me and Green Mind).

How many hits did they have? I agree they are a great band. J is very unique and good, but liking them does not change that feel the pain was their only hit.

I think Sammy has a pretty good claim to being a “legit” part of the band

No. They're a no hit nobody.

Seems bizarre that Satch is involved in this.

There was a brewhaha a while back that he had been invited by Alex Van Halen to be part of a tribute tour.

Satch literally knows everybody and has been playing with Hagar almost 20 years.
