We all know that Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth in Van Halen, but imagine him doing the same for Aerosmith. Well according to what Brad Whitford told
The Metal Show that was almost the case. When Steven Tyler took a break from the band to do American Idol, they were thinking of going on tour with a new name and new singer. The person on top of their list was the man who can’t drive 55, so they called him and asked if he was interested. The man who makes a lethal Tequilla thought it would be “so cool”, but sadly or luckily that never happened.
I don’t know how I feel about this because I have seen Hagar with Van Halen and I wasn’t that impressed. I like him when he does his own stuff, but I am not a fan of him doing someone elses. Plus no one could replace Steven Tyler, he is a one of a kind who can’t be replicated.
