Sammy Hagar talks about unfinished Eddie Van Halen jams

Sammy Hagar has gone on record saying there are several unfinished Eddie Van Halen jams in the vault from his time in Van Halen, and, with a little effort, they could be turned into something.

The Red Rocker talked to the San Diego Union-Tribune, saying the recordings need to be fleshed out with background vocals or new lyrics. Sammy said that he's "leery about doing that.” Hagar added, "The legacy of Van Halen is so great, and – prior to me joining the band – the legacy is pure greatness: Eddie’s guitar work, the band’s playing, the songs.”

He also said, “Anything left over wasn’t good enough to be on those records. I don’t care what anyone says; putting out [unreleased music] wouldn’t do anything, other than make someone a little money. But I know Eddie had a ton of [unreleased] jamming stuff he made on cassette tapes, because that’s how we wrote songs.

“So, maybe,” Hagar teased. “Who knows what they could put together?”
