Sammy Hagar<\/a> and the Circle\u2019s newest Lockdown Sessions video is a cover of the 1977 AC\/DC<\/a> classic \u201cWhole Lotta Rosie.\u201d<\/p>\n

It begins with drummer Jason Bonham calling up Hagar to suggest the song. \u201cGive me a call,\u201d he says, while a recording of AC\/DC\u2019s \u201cHell Ain\u2019t a Bad Place to Be\u201d plays in the background. \u201cI think I have an idea for Lockdown Sessions number five. Do you remember the AC\/DC song we used to do in Cabo? I\u2019m sure you do, though you may not remember many things that go on in Cabo.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s referring to the band\u2019s October 2016 four-night Birthday Bash at Cabo Wabo in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they played \u201cWhole Lotta Rosie\u201d at every show. That\u2019s the only time they\u2019ve done the song, but the band \u2014 which also features former Van Halen<\/a> bassist Michael Anthony and guitarist Vic Johnson \u2014 regularly breaks out tunes by Led Zeppelin, Montrose, Alice in Chains and other classic rock icons at their gigs.<\/p>\n

The group was supposed to spend the summer playing gigs with Whitesnake and Night Ranger, but it\u2019s very likely that the COVID-19 pandemic will force them to postpone the dates. They have spent their quarantine time teaming up digitally on songs like the Who\u2019s \u201cWon\u2019t Get Fooled Again,\u201d Bob Marley\u2019s \u201cThree Little Birds,\u201d Van Halen\u2019s \u201cGood Enough\u201d and their original tune \u201cFunky Feng Shui.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the future of Van Halen remains quite unclear. They haven\u2019t played a show since 2015 and frontman David Lee Roth filled up his 2020 calendar with Las Vegas dates and a stint opening for Kiss on their farewell tour, telling the press that the band is \u201cfinished.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The future of AC\/DC is also quite murky, although there were reports (and photographic evidence<\/a>) last year that the band was cutting a new album in Vancouver. They suggested that frontman Brian Johnson and drummer Phil Rudd had returned to the fold, although nothing is remotely official and the COVID-19 outbreak probably put their plans on hold.<\/p>\n

Whatever the future holds for Van Halen and AC\/DC, Sammy Hagar and the Circle remain determined to keep their music alive, even during lockdown.<\/p>\n
