Sammy Hagar considering recording with Van Halen bassist and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer

Sammy Hagar won't be on the road much this year, besides a few gigs with his group the WaboRitas and his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Van Halen. But that's not to say that he doesn't have plans to make new music. Hagar has been performing recently at his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Mexico with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, and he told us the three of them might hit the studio together: "We're thinking about, when the Chili Peppers tour is over, about doing a little record. Not a permanent thing, but we've been calling ourselves Chicken Foot down here, you know? A power trio. And it's so much fun playing in a power trio, you know? I haven't done it in a long time, playing all the guitar, and, and Mike and I singing together. It's pretty strong, man, it's a pretty exciting band. So we're thinking about going in the studio, and maybe making a record."

The Red Hot Chili Peppers wrap up their North American dates March 7th in Houston, then head to Japan and Australia for shows between March 19th and April 19th.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is March 12th in New York City. This year's honorees also include Patti Smith, R.E.M., Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, and the Ronettes.
