During a new episode of “Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk” on SiriusXM’s Faction Talk (Ch. 103), Sammy Hagar revealed he’d like to help sift through Van Halen’s vault of unreleased songs – which he said features “probably a lot of Eddie [Van Halen’s]” music – and work on anything that’s unfinished. But he doesn’t want to get fans “too freaking excited” about that happening because he doesn’t think Alex Van Halen is interested in opening the vault.
“I don’t think Alex is user-friendly,” Hagar said. “I don’t know why, but he’s just not.”
However, Hagar believes Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolf, is receptive to releasing the music.
“If Al were user-friendly, I would get with Al and Wolfie and go in there, go through it, pick the pieces I could make a song out of, and write the lyrics and melody and make a song out of it, and piece it together. And yeah, get Mikey on board and go in there, and we can have a Van Halen record. I guarantee you Eddie’s got a ton of stuff.”
Sammy Hagar continued: “But Alex would have to be involved. And, of course, Wolfie would be user-friendly; Wolfie’s got no angst against nobody. He should be the happiest kid in the world right now, I’m so happy for him right now I can’t tell ya.”
