Sammy Hagar thinks Mike Anthony sings one particular song better than David Lee Roth.
Hagar took to Instagram and shared the setlist for his upcoming show at Barrett-Jackson. He wrote in the caption, “Set list for Scottsdale show Barrett-Jackson Friday, January 17. Anybody got a problem with this set list?”
The Red Rocker then commented under his own post saying he has been responding to too many comments and revealed the first song of the list. “You guys are wearing me out. I can’t answer all these. But it’s going to be a fun show. Loose like a cabo birthday bash show. The first song is ‘Bad Motor Scooter.’ Some people said they couldn’t read the first song. Montrose in the house.”
Another user shared their surprise at a certain song, “Love ‘Rock Candy.’ Surprised to see ‘Ain’t Talkin’ Bout’ Dave. I mean, *Love*.” In response, Hagar said Mike Anthony sings it better. “Mikey sings that one better than Dave.”
According to the setlist, the band will perform songs like ‘Finish What Ya Started,’ ‘Pound Cake,’ ‘Best Of Both Worlds,’ Why Can’t This Be Love?,’ and ‘Right Now.’
The shows continue, and Anthony has some news — his band with Hagar, Chickenfoot, might be releasing some new music very soon. “I hope everyone’s having a great holiday season,” the bassist shared in a recent video message on Instagram. “Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah—however you celebrate. And I just want to take this minute here to thank everybody for all the love and support this past year. Everything from the Mad Anthony Café [merch store] to coming out and seeing The Best of All Worlds Tour this year.”
“I have nothing that I wrote out, nothing planned. This is all just coming straight from the heart… But anyway, I want to wish everybody Happy Holidays, Happy New Year. Here’s to 2025, and let’s make it a… great year.” He then revealed, “We’ve got a lot of great stuff planned. Maybe some new Chickenfoot music.”
Chickenfoot is made up of Hagar, Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. The band released two studio albums in 2009 and 2011. During their 2011 and 2012 tours, veteran session drummer Kenny Aronoff stepped in for Smith.
Meanwhile, the lineup for Hagar’s The Best of All Worlds tour also features Anthony, Satriani, and Aronoff. Hagar has also recently shared that this group has been working on new music, including a song dedicated to Eddie Van Halen. Hagar says it will be released in early 2025.
