Sammy Hagar and the
WABORITAS performed
"I Can't Drive 55" during the pre-race ceremonies Sunday (February 25) at the
NASCAR Auto Club 500. Former
VAN HALEN bassist
Micheal Anthony provided background vocals on the track. Watch video footage of the performance at
this location.
Even though
Hagar won't be on the road much this year, he performed recently at his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Mexico with
Michael Anthony and
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer
Chad Smith, and he told
Launch the three of them might hit the studio together. "We're thinking about, when the
CHILI PEPPERS tour is over, about doing a little record," he said. "Not a permanent thing, but we've been calling ourselves
CHICKEN FOOT down here, you know? A power trio. And it's so much fun playing in a power trio, you know? I haven't done it in a long time, playing all the guitar, and, and
Mike and I singing together. It's pretty strong, man, it's a pretty exciting band. So we're thinking about going in the studio, and maybe making a record."
