Right now, someone doesn't recognize Eddie Van Halen.

Sammy Hagar recalls “craziest songwriting experience” in shower.

Single incident took place during joint tour in 2002.

Singer says his group’s success led to copycat acts who resorted to “gimmickry and trade crap.”

Health setbacks are partly to blame for their lack of touring.

Singer warmed up his band in front of some invited guests.

But not a full tour, he says.

The frontman insists he not only wrote the band's songs, but structured their guitar solos, designed album covers and much, much more.

Singer says band’s work ethic came out of years of preparation and that he started getting ready for Las Vegas residency 11 months ago.

Singer insists he’ll bring more “boom in the room” with five vocalists and three guitarists.

Singer describes four-year lay-off as “paralyzing” as he gears up for Las Vegas residency.

Singer says he's going to Vegas solo because Eddie Van Halen's "probably not gonna answer the bell this time."
