Hagar frustrated over Montrose tribute DVD
Frustration: Sammy Hagar
Sammy Hagar says the estate of Ronnie Montrose is behind the delay in releasing the guitarist’s tribute show DVD.
And the frustrated singer vows that if the concert film doesn’t hit shelves soon, he’ll take action himself.
Guitar icon Montrose shot himself in March this year. He had suffered from clinical depression for much of his life, and the deaths of his uncle and dog within weeks of each other are understood to have been factors in his decision to commit suicide.
The following month, surviving Montrose members Hagar, Bill Church and Denny Carmassi fronted a memorial event that also starred Joe Satriani, Neal Schon, Tommy Thayer, Jimmy DeGrasso and many others.
It was filmed, and an early release was predicted – but it’s yet to take place.
Answering fan questions in the video below, Chickenfoot frontman Hagar says: “There were some problems with the Montrose estate people. They weren’t co-operating and stuff.
“But we filmed everything and it was great stuff. If it doesn’t get done sooner than later I’m going to just take it and do it myself.”
In other answers, the Red Rocker says he’d love to jam with Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page, he wants to write a recipe book and he tries to use social media to “make the world better.”
Asked about his plans to import sea salt from Mexico to flavour his own brand of tequila, Hagar replies: “I have these big buckets, two big buckets, and I come back privately so I have to go through the same customs procedures.
“I stick it in the corner of my airplane somewhere and they haven’t looked twice now. If they ever open that baby up you know I’m going to be detained for a while – because it doesn’t look like salt.”
Chickenfoot are planning a year without action in 2013 due to drummer Chad Smith’s commitments to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Satriani’s solo work. But the singer says he and bassist Michael Anthony might work on a project together.

Hughes’ second thoughts over Purple tribute
Tribute: Glenn Hughes
Glenn Hughes had second thoughts about whether to contribute to Deep Purple tribute album Re-Machined.
But in the end he appears on two tracks of the disc dedicated to celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band’s groundbreaking Machine Head album.
Re-Machined is released later this month but is available now as part of a Classic Rock Fan Pack.
The former member, who’s currently fronting Black Country Communion – although possibly not for much longer – recorded a version of Maybe I’m A Leo with Chad Smith and Luis Maldonado.
Then when keyboardist Jon Lord died suddenly, he went back into the studio to lay down a cover of Highway Star, even though Smith’s band Chickenfoot had already delivered their own version. His take on the track is included as an exclusive bonus in the Fan Pack edition.
Hughes tells Noisecreep of his involvement: “At first I wasn’t sure I wanted to be. There are certain songs I wouldn’t want to try and re-do.
“Originally Black Country Communion was going to do Highway Star, but Joe Bonamassa was just too busy. So I did Maybe I’m A Leo and I love how it turned out.
“The reason we did Highway Star was, I’d just gotten off a plane and heard the news about Jon. I was just crushed.
“I knew Chickenfoot had already done it, but I wanted to do something for Jon. So we got Steve Vai for a very quick, live and wonderful recording session.”
Hughes, a member of Purple between 1973 and 1976, says Vai is “king of that genre” and adds: “He inspired me to really open up my pipes and go for it, which I did, for Jon.”
He believes Machine Head stands out because “it blended so many interesting types of metal songs.
“When I think about the prototype of what heavy metal was back then, there were two huge bands that mattered. We can include Zeppelin but I know Jimmy and Robert don’t consider them part of that. So the two primary bands were Sabbath and Purple.
“But whereas Sabbath was heavy, Purple was more refined and melodic metal. It was different.”
Re-Machined Classic Rock Fan Pack track listing
01. Smoke On The Water – Carlos Santana
02. Highway Star – Chickenfoot
03. Maybe I’m A Leo – Glenn Hughes, Chad Smith, Luis Maldonado

Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers’ fond tribute to late friend
RHCPs: marching for Mullen
One of the highlights of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ most recent album I’m With You is the meaningful ballad Brendan’s Death Song. Now the band have released a brand new video for the track.
Track: Red Hot Chili Peppers – Brendan’s Death Song
File under: touching tribute to the guy who gave the Chilis an important early break
Brendan’s Death Song was written for the Chilis’ late friend Brendan Mullen (founder of 70s Hollywood punk club the Masque).
In 1983, Anthony Kiedis and Flea took a demo tape to a popular LA club, Club Lingerie. There they had their first encounter with Mullen, who was the booker for the club at the time.
They played Mullen their tape while they danced around to the song – and Mullen was so impressed, he offered them a spot opening for Bad Brains.
Mullen stayed good friends with the RHCPs until his death in 2009.

Music: Primus’ tribute to Lee Van Cleef
Hang 'em high…
Last year Primus returned with Green Naugahyde, their first full-length studio record in over a decade. One of our favourite tracks on the release was Lee Van Cleef, a paean to the deceased movie star. Now Primus have released a video for said tune.
Track: Primus – Lee Van Cleef
File under: jerkalong spaghetti hoopla
Lee Van Cleef gained notoriety by starring in Spaghetti Westerns alongside Clint Eastwood (ie. The Good, The Bad And The Ugly).
Primus clearly prefer Van Cleef’s acting talents to Eastwood’s, as the song’s lyrics go like this: ‘On the big screen they wanna see ol’ Clint… they all wanna see ol’ Clint… but I wanna see Lee Van Cleef.’
Primus might have a point, but we always preferred Bob ‘Tumbleweed’ Baker (aka ‘The Singing Outlaw’) ourselves…
It’s worth watching the video to the end, when a crumbling and zombified cartoon version of Van Cleef finally wreaks his revenge on The Man With No Name…
