 er of 1997. Having completed his first solo recording\, Marching To Mars\,
  after his departure from Van Halen in 1996\, Sammy recruited long time fr
 iend and drummer David Lauser and keyboardist\, Jesse Harms\, to be part o
 f the line up for the his new post Van Hagar band.<br style='margin:0px\;p

 sical history together. The two budding musicians met in 1968 when Sammy s
 topped by to check out a band David was rehearsing with. This meeting woul
 d ultimately lead to their first collaboration together\, The Mobile Home 
 Blues Band! Shortly thereafter\, David and Sammy formed the Justice Brothe
 rs...eventually moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1971. From there\,
  Sammy hooked up with Ronnie Montrose in 1973\, releasing the ground break
 ing 1st Montrose album. David and Sammy remained in touch and eventually\,
  Sammy asked David to join him in 1980 to tour and record. David went on t
 o record Sammy's entire Geffen catalog\, Standing Hampton\, 3 Lock Box and
  VOA featuring\, Sammy’s signature song\, I Can't Drive 55 and Sammy’s 198
 7 solo recording\, I Never Said Goodbye. After Sammy parted ways with Van 
 Halen in 1996\, David was asked to take on the drumming duties yet a third
  time!<br style='margin:0px\;padding:0px\;font-family:arial\, helvetica\,

 x\;line-height:20px\;background-color:rgb(221\,221\,221)\;' />There was ta
 lk of getting a female bassist... While Sammy was still busy with VH\, Dav
 id met Mona during a recording session with Muscle Shoals great\, Wayne Pe
 rkins. David was so impressed with Mona’s solid bass playing and harmony v
 ocals that when Sammy mentioned he wanted to try out a girl on bass\, Davi
 d immediately suggested his new found friend. Sammy recants\, “Mona drove 
 up on her bike with a bass strapped on her back and blew us all away!”<br

 rist who could cover the entire spectrum of Sammy’s musical career\, inclu
 ding signature Van Halen guitar\, would be no easy task! Enter\, Vic Johns
 on....formerly an integral part of the Bus Boys\, a first call for Dr. Dre
  in the L.A. Hip Hop scene and the leader of his own rock/fusion group\, T
 otal Eclipse\, Vic was ready to cover all the bases with ease. To quote Sa
 mmy\, “I knew Vic was the one from the first song we jammed!”<br style='ma
