My thoughts go out to the family of Scott Hoffman, a long time Redhead, who passed away on Sunday. Rest in peace Scott, my love goes out to the family

– Sammy

Gary Arnold the man behind Chickenfoot passed this morning sad sad news indeed. My love goes out to his family members – sincere love in my heart.

Sammy thinks about the un-thinkable and delivers a show that stacks up the best songs from the David Lee Roth years of Van Halen with the best material from the era during which Sammy himself fronted the band.   In this upcoming episode of the series titled The Best of Both Worlds¸ Sammy imagines a future where Van Halen hits the road with BOTH lead singers, and Hagar has assembled the dream setlist for that concert.

I must say I really enjoyed myself hanging out with Joe and Mikey on the phone for our Facebook live chat yesterday at El Paseo. I think anyone that watched us knows that wasn't rehearsed and scripted and probably unfit for commercial TV – ha ha! 

I just listened to the new Chickenfoot BEST+LIVE CD head to toe and wow, that band is good! After not hearing the songs – especially the live concert – in a long time, it  sure took me back to some fun times.  Seems like yesterday, but looking at the dates it wasn't.. ouch!!!

Time sure flies, don't it?

I'm also so excited about the new Season 2 of Rock & Roll Road Trip, I got some of the best interviews I've ever done in my life! The people I interviewed for season two – John Mellancamp, Don Felder, Rick Nielsen – people I've barely knew now have become dear friends. It's amazing what just sitting and chatting for a few hours with someone outside of our celebrity lifestyle can do. I'm loving it.

And keep an eye out for the weekend of May 25/26 on my Top Rock Countdown radio show. I'm doing a special on Van Halen called the "Best of Both Worlds/The Ultimate VH Set List" where I am basically answering all those fans that want to see a reunion. If there ever were to be a reunion, you will hear what I think it should be!!!!!

Love me some Redheads – got some Circle shows coming up in June and the best lineup for the 4th Annual Acoustic-4-A-Cure yet.

PS: no Cinco de Mayo in Tahoe this year, we're just doing the outdoor summer concert series
