Did Eddie Van Halen Assault Sammy Hagar Onstage in 2004

Shinedown drummer Barry Kerch, whose band opened for Van Halen during their bad-tempered reunion tour with Sammy Hagar in 2004, recalled how the dream-come-true experience also had a downside.

While Kerch said he had a great time with Hagar, Eddie Van Halen and Michael Anthony, plus Wolfgang Van Halen and his mom Valerie Bertinelli, there was no denying the negative energy between the two factions in the headline act.

And he recalled the moment Eddie Van Halen assaulted Hagar onstage while the singer was partway through the line of a song.
