#325 A #VanHalen Celebration!

Author: Rock of Nations with Dave Kinc August 9, 2024 Duration: 52:33

Dave and Shane love everything #VanHalen and had a chance to catch up with #SammyHagar and #MichaelAnthony before their #BestOfBothWorlds show in suburban #Detroit. Here is the full chat.


In the spirit of honoring the VH legacy, we also added sound from a 2023 interview we did with Sammy, and a 2022 interview with #JoeSatriani that made huge headlines in #RollingStone, #EddieTrunk radio, etc - where Satch confirmed talks with #AlexVanHalen and #DavidLeeRoth for a tribute show or tour honoring the life of #EddieVanHalen.


We also revisit our conversation with VH historian Dr. #GregRenoff who wrote two books related to the band and reacted to the passing of Eddie back in October of 2020.


Enjoy our salute to one of rock’s greatest acts ever!
