Sammy Hagar's Book Might Help New Van Halen Album?

03/22/2011
. (Rock News Desk) Sammy Hagar insists his warts-and-all biography, which includes detailed stories about his time with Van Halen, is actually doing the band a favor. The singer says their current studio sessions are not going well � but if what he's written angers them enough to focus on creating music, all will be well.

Hagar has completed two stints fronting the band and recently revealed how he tried to quit during his last outing, but was thwarted by contract clauses. Original singer David Lee Roth is working with Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang Van Halen on a new album, but Hagar understands there's a great deal of tension surrounding the project.

"It's not going so good. That's what I've heard through the grapevine, that they've already fired one producer, and Eddie and Dave can't be in the same room together. If they can't be in the same room how can they make a record?," Hagar tells MTV Hive. "I think I'm doing them a favour with my book. It may put a fire under their asses to swallow some pride and make another record for the fans." more on this story
