Finally, Vocalist Sammy Hagar has performed with many legendary guitarists including Eddie Van Halen, Ted Nugent and Ronnie Montrose, but he told the Reno Gazette Journal that Joe Satriani stands out as the best guitar player he’s ever played with. Sammy’s apparently insane. Hagar and Satriani are about to embark on a tour as Chickenfoot along with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

New York, April 30, 2009 – Today, MTV, AT&T* and Craig Brewer, the director of the Academy Award winning movie “Hustle and Flow,” have announced that “$5 Cover,” a groundbreaking, multiplatform new effort by Brewer and MTV New Media to document the modern Memphis music scene, will premiere on TV on Friday, May 1, with content also accessible online and via mobile phones in the coming weeks. By combining Brewer’s expert storytelling with the content distribution savvy of MTV and AT&T, “$5 Cover” gives music fans “anytime, any way” access to an insider’s look at what’s happening today in a city rich with musical history.
The centerpiece is a 15-episode series shot in Brewer’s signature style that follows the professional and personal lives of some of the city’s up-and-coming musical acts. Each episode contains a live performance, recording session or other musical component that is seamlessly integrated into the drama. AT&T will present the inaugural “$5 Cover: Memphis” series, which premieres on MTV and MTV.com on May 1, with new episodes airing at midnight on Friday nights. MySpace will also host exclusive content and promotion for the series across various areas of the site.
Had an old VHS tape with a lot of those unreleased Woodstock performances, nice to see them getting the DVD treatment.
