Sammy Hagar Shares Eddie Van Hale-Inspired ‘Encore, Thank You, Goodnight’

Sammy Hagar recently released a new song, “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight,” inspired by a guitar lick that former bandmate Eddie Van Halen showed him in a dream.

“Encore, Thank You, Goodnight” features guitarist Joe Satriani, bassist and fellow Van Halen alum Michael Anthony and drummer Kenny Aronoff.

“This song is my final bow to that part of my life,” says Hagar. “It’s not meant to be anything more than a ‘thank you’ — with love, with respect, and with one hell of a guitar solo.”

Hagar also shared that Satriani’s contribution to the track brought a unique emotional energy, saying, “Joe was the perfect partner to help me shape the sound — he brought in that big, emotional, guitar-driven energy that feels like Eddie’s spirit but is entirely of Joe’s creation.”

“With Michael Anthony’s thundering bass and stellar Van Halen-esque background vocals and Kenny Aronoff’s relentlessly powerful driving rhythms, the song really came together on all levels,” he added.
