It was one of those classic Deep Purple tracks when lyrics were secondary to the riff (wait...that's all of them). But, it's still cool.
The original Van Halen was always the brothers (virtuosos), the singer (the showman) and the bass player (the soul). Then, it became Van Hagar with the brothers (virtuosos), and Sammy and Michael (the party).
Ultimately, the band disintegrated and the party moved on...to Chickenfoot.
Today's Music Friday post offers up Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony (along with Joe Satriani and Chad Smith) with their insane version of Deep Purple's "Highway Star."
And...there's just one more week til Daylight Savings, babies!
Thank you Dr. Fever!
