Sammy Hagar catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk Crazy Times, his new album with The Circle that finds the former Van Halen frontman teaming up with producer Dave Cobb.

The Red Rocker tells us how Cobb pushed him to give more of the old Montrose and Van Halen power to his vocals. He also talks about how the concept album spotlights a darker personality than he’s known for, and how he want feedback from Elvis Costello regarding his “Pump It Up” cover.

Hagar also reminisces about a lost Van Halen track that’s tied to the movie Twister and how it could finally see the light of day soon, the story behind bonus track “2120,” and working with Slash and Bootsy Collins on 1997’s Marching to Mars.
