Don't know how many people know this, but Sammy's son, Aaron, was the original singer for Bloodline.  He was pretty good but things didn't work out for the album.  His time in the band was pretty short.  I was lucky enough to see that lineup before he split.

I'm a tyrant, but balance in all things, brother.  When they do their job, mine is easy and they can have anything they want within reason.  When they don't they get "The Dad Look" which will stop charging Rottweilers in their tracks, and a big fat NO.

It's Love
Jeff

Kapt. Kirk,

Sammy Hagar will be up the road from you on Hwy 44 in Bourbon, MO (about 2 miles from me!) after this tour is over. He wil be picking up his new car: "Sammy's car, called the GCM-R, is a brand new '67 Mustang," he said, noting that, with all the special features on it, carries a price tag of $165,000. It began with a basic Mustang body but the rest is all custom parts.

There is an article about Gateway Clasic Mustang in the local paper that talks about his new car and also another on order for Michael Anthony. This shop does some excellent work. Here is the link to the article http://www.emissourian.com/site/index.c … &rfi=8

If you are ever headed towards St. Louis, drop me a line. I have been taking care of the Street Team in the St. Louis area. By chance did you catch the show in Springfield at the Shrine back in Sept. for the Greater Ozarks Blues Festival?

A few years ago we saw Sammy at the Hard Rock. At that time he was working on a side project with Michael Anthony, Neil Schon, & Deen Castronova.

Michael came out and played bass on the VH tunes. Neil Schon came out and played guitar on "Only One Way To Rock". The encore was Sammy, Michael, Neil, and Deen. Their project band was titled "Planet US", and they played 2 songs. "Vertigo" was the first and it had been written for the Spider Man soundtrack and rejected as too hard. The second song was "Peeping Through A Hole", about an abused child. Both songs were absolutely killer. Very very hard rockin tunes.....the band almost sounded a little "Tool" like. Hard to describe but the crowd was left standing with their mouths open like they'd been hit by a train. Awesome. One of the best rock shows we've ever seen, counting the previous 2 hours from Sam.

The side project never materialized any further as all the guys had their own stuff to keep working on. Neil later formed "Soul SirkUS" and recorded a full CD with the material that was to be for "Planet US", but again the project never came together. Too much Journey work to really focus on it.

Usually during the day when Sammy is in Vegas he can be spotted in the cabanas near the pool at the Hard Rock. He and Michael Anthony swear by it.

Should be a fun weekend in LV, although we wouldn't miss Joey's show to see Sam.

Jim and Phil, hope you get out of town ok.  We got this snow suppose to be here by this afternoon and I have a feeling I will be shoveling the driveway before we leave tomorrow.  Have a great time.

Take care

Be safe and hopefully catch up to you all in Vegas.  I'm sure you will have stories you wish you could tell us but as you know:  "What Happens in Vegas, Stays In Vegas!".
