JASON BONHAM Says THE CIRCLE's First Record Of All-Original Material Is A 'Concept Kind Of Album'
THE CIRCLE, the critically acclaimed supergroup featuring Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson, has completed work on its first album of all-original material.
Bonham told Sonic Perspectives in a recent 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."
According to Bonham, the final song for THE CIRCLE album was laid down last month. "On Father's Day, I was on tour and I went into the studio, 'cause [Sammy] sent me a new song that he wanted to add to the album," Jason said. "So I went in on Father's Day and recorded drums in upstate New York. But it was great, 'cause I found a great new studio which I'd love to go back to. So it was fun to go do. So I had a day off, did that. And literally I got the mix back from [Sammy] yesterday."
Jason went on to describe Sammy and Michael as "the most positive" and "fun" people to play with. "It's a whole different vibe," he said. "With them, it is what you see — it's a party. Sammy is so up and so positive. And Mikey is such a wonderful guy and smiling. And it's all, like, 'Yeah, it's fun!' It's that fun, life's-too-short-to-be-miserable [attitude]."
He continued: "I'm English, so I can be very 'half empty.' Sammy is always 'half full.' He'll come up to me and go, 'Don't be English around me. 'Cause this is fun. You have got nothing to be worried about.'"
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.

SAMMY HAGAR NAMES HIS ‘FINAL’ ALBUM ‘SPACE BETWEEN’
Sammy Hagar revealed the title of his next album and said it would probably be his last.
Space Between will be released under the banner of the Circle, his band with Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson, and it’s penciled in for a January 2019 due date.
The former Van Halen singer had previously discussed the theme of the LP, saying he explored the nature of greed in the lyrics. In a new interview with the Broward Palm Beach New Times, Hagar elaborated:
“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," he said. "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. … It’s what I discovered by being both rich and poor.”
Hagar recalled being homeless at the age of four and his mother keeping the family together while his alcoholic father was in jail. “My mom was such a great mom, and she was such a great cook,” he said, noting that they’d had a “great time,” even though the experience was “horrible” in retrospect. “I never felt like we were starving to death. We used food banks, and now that’s why I support them so much.”
Summarizing his message, Hagar said, “the most important thing is giving love. Without it, we’re fucked.” He then quoted some lyrics from the new album: “Without it, you’re dealing with the Devil / He’s at sea level now.”
Hagar admitted he’d like to win a Grammy for Space Between. “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.”
The Circle have a number of live appearances booked between Sept. 15 and Oct. 19.

As far as the free CDs go, when you order multiple tickets you get multiple CDs. I've received 4 with some groups where I'm buying all the tickets for everyone. And if I bought a ticket with Jimbo let's say, he already had bought the CD so I would just gift them.
