Sammy Hagar, Def Leppard To Get Stars On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

I'm pretty pumped for this: both Sammy Hagar and Def Leppard will finally get stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The news came from the Hollywood Walk officials yesterday during a livestreamed event. The video below of Sammy getting the news is pretty sweet.

I have to be honest: I thought both Hagar and the Leps already had their stars, so this honor is beyond overdue.

The ceremonies for both star unveilings have not been scheduled/announced yet.

2023 Record Store Day Album List Revealed

The list of albums coming up for Record Store Day on 2023 was just released. This year, RSD will be on April 22. The most exciting release on the list for me is Van Halen: LIVE, Right Here, Right Now.

 It will be on four albums and cost $100. This is the first time Live, Right Here, Right Now will be on vinyl and there will only be 9,500 records pressed. The release will be on red translucent vinyl -- of course! This is the Sammy Hagar "Red Rocker" era of Van Halen, after all!

'Funky Feng Shui -- Sammy Hagar & The Circle, New Video

An interesting new video from Sammy Hagar & The Circle today. It's for the track "Funky Feng Shui" and it features a giant woman stepping around the band Godzilla-style. The song is on the upcoming album Crazy Times.

One of the lyrics to this song is:

"Walking a dog on a leash
A doggie bag in her hand
She’s picking up shit
So, we don’t step in it"

Yep. Sammy is singing about dog poo. 

Happy Saturday!

'Pump It Up' -- The Circle, New Video

Sammy Hagar & The Circle just released a video for their cover of the Elvis Costello song "Pump It Up." The song is just fine - it's a surprising cover but the band sounds great and Sammy Hagar can sing anything. I can't help but laugh at the video, though. I mean, it's unintentionally funny. The way Sammy is dancing - or stomping - just makes me chuckle. Plus, the old tennis shoes on a bazillionaire is also funny to me. It's like wardrobe forgot that part of his outfit or something. Anyway, it's Monday and this is a good day to enjoy new music!

Broadcaster Eddie Trunk shared a photo of himself with Vince Neil and Sammy Hagar on Friday night. The duo did a private event together. What is Eddie doing here?!?
