Listen To Clip Of New SAMMY HAGAR And THE CIRCLE Song 'Trust Fund Baby'

Sammy Hagar has shared a clip of the song “Trust Fund Baby”, which will appear on “Space Between”, the upcoming first album of all-original material from THE CIRCLE, his critically acclaimed supergroup also featuring Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson.

“Here is a taste of the first song,” he said on Instagram post. “Play it on whatever system suits you and crank it up, it fucking rocks like the rest of the album!”

Hagar told the Broward Palm Beach New Times last year about the lyrical themes covered on “Space Between”: “It’s about the misconception that money is the root of all evil, because the truth of the matter is that it isn’t money at all. You can feed the poor, you can heal the sick, you can make people happy, you can stop a war with money, but it’s greed that is the problem. That’s what the whole record is about. It’s what I discovered by being both rich and poor.”

Hagar added that “Space Between”, which is due later this year, will likely be his last album, and he hopes to get a Grammy for it.

“That’s my bucket list: to have one more credible musical experience in my life,” he said. “I think I did it, and I hope it’s as good as I think it is. I’ve been double-parked in the rock ‘n’ roll business for 40 years, and I want a stamp on my validation so I don’t have to pay to get out.”

Bonham told Sonic Perspectives in an interview that THE CIRCLE‘s upcoming disc is a “concept kind of album” that needs to be listened to “in a specific order, which kind of tells the story.”

The drummer added that Hagar has “been really inspired as of late, and I think it’s gonna be some of his best stuff. It’s definitely diverse,” he said. “As I said, when you listen to it in the order… It’s gonna be an incredible… What he wanted to do was do something very different than he’s ever done, which is send you on a journey, like the old days. When you put on an album, you listened to it from start to finish instead of just a song — where the placement of each [song] is vital for it to make sense.”

THE CIRCLE released a concert album, “At Your Service”, in May 2015. Recorded on tour in 2014, it features live performances of hits from Sammy‘s four decades of rock (MONTROSE, solo, VAN HALEN, THE WABORITAS, CHICKENFOOT) as well as classic tracks from the LED ZEPPELIN catalog.
