In a recent interview with AXS TV, Hagar even claims that his experience on 2004 Summer Tour was “the worst experience” of his life.

“It was horrible. He did horrible things to people” Sammy Hagar recalls what Eddie Van Halen was like on Van Halen’s 2004 World Tour

The Andy Griffith Show was never afraid to try something new. Luckily, in the 1960s, television shows were allowed to be patient and develop into something great. Nowadays, if a show doesn't connect immediately, it risks cancellation. However, The Andy Griffith Show was given the time to mature throughout its first two seasons. While Sheriff Taylor's character began as more of a caricature, the creators and star later grew to realize the perfect way to present him. Andy wasn't meant to be the comedic relief; he was the voice of reason off of whom the wackier characters bounced.

When you’re the son of Eddie Van Halen, try as you might, you’re always going to fall under his shadow at times. It’s a burden that Wolfgang Van Halen has learned to live with, and in a recent interview with MusicRadar, he detailed how he’s molded his approach to his guitar playing to help veer away from direct associations with his old man. “I approach guitar playing more as a producer and more as a drummer than a guitar player,” he explains. “Rhythm is always the first thing for me and melody is the second. “It's more about songwriting when it comes to...

Milk and cookies…. Music and lyrics….Scotch and soda…. Rhythm and blues… Macaroni and cheese… Yin and yang…. Will and Grace… Comden and Green… Paired up, they suit each other, or as the song “We Go Together” from Grease so eloquently says, “‘We Go Together,’ like Ramma-lamma-lamma-ka-dingity-da-dinga-dong” and “Shoo-wop-sha-whada-whadda-yippidy boom-da-boom.” Going together even better is a perfect pair of pow this week at 54 Below. In their official New York City debut as a duo – a dazzling, delicious, dynamic, dynamite, duo — decades-long friends Liz Callaway and Jason Graae sparkle with real chemistry and connection. The opening on July 3rd, the night before the Fourth of July, had plenty of fireworks of its own and their bang-up job continues on July 5 and 6. Both are in great voice and are energetic, seemingly untouched by time.

Having been part of the music industry for over 60 years, Townshend watched the industry change several times. And while a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the musician recently shared how the band didn’t make any money during their early years thanks to greedy managers.
