[Van Hagar]

When I heard they were doing an album together, I thought it was crazy. They are two of the all-time greatest vocalists in my opinion, but how were they ever gonna blend together, their styles seemed so different. Then I listened to the album, “Raising Sand” I think it’s called, and came away thinking, Damn that was great.

I guess one of the oddest was the Aerosmith-Run D.M.C. pairing for ‘Walk This Way’, which gave Aerosmith’s career a second wind. Rock and hip hop didn’t mix at the time, but that collaboration opened it up. I still like the original Aerosmith version better though.
