Don’t miss this epic trip down memory lane with plenty of riffs and rock talk along the way!

You wouldn’t believe Mico Klokoc Thompson’s story—it’s like something out of a rock and roll legend. This guy’s been hooked on electronics since he was just a little kid, probably around six. His grandfather used to tinker with tube TVs, radios, and ham radio setups, so there was always some cool gadget to mess with at his grandparents' house. Oh, and his grandfather also played a little guitar, which kind of planted the seed for Mico’s lifelong love of music and tone.

By the time he was 12, Mico was already reaching out to big names in the industry. He wrote to Ken Fischer from Trainwreck Circuits and even the artist relations team at Kramer Guitars. And get this—Ken Fischer actually responded and told him to stay in touch. Talk about a promising start!

Fast forward a few years, and by 17, he was on the road with Aerosmith, working behind the scenes while Guns N’ Roses was the opening act. Can you imagine being a teenager and getting that kind of backstage pass to rock history? From there, he jumped into the Hollywood music scene, fixing tube amps and working with local guitarists at Amp Crazy.

It didn’t take long for Mico to start rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in the game. He worked with Eddie Van Halen, Ratt, Poison—you name it. And when he moved to Nashville, he didn’t slow down. Instead, he started working with country legends like Marty Stuart, Travis Tritt, and Merle Haggard.

But Mico’s not just some behind-the-scenes tech guy. He’s been a key player at Trainwreck Amplifiers for years, partnered with One Control Effects and Amplifiers, and he even designs his own amps now. He’s all about restoring vintage gear and helping musicians perfect their tone. I mean, he’s worked with everyone from Ted Nugent to Pat Travers, and even up-and-comers like Benito Di Bartolie and Dante Bonasera.

Mico’s the guy you call when you’re serious about tone. Whether it’s building a custom amp, restoring a classic, or just dialing in that perfect sound, he’s the one who makes it happen. He’s a legend in his own right.

Epic Jam Session at Flying Pickle Productions!

What a day! I teamed up with Music Therapy Laz and Magic Man for an unforgettable jam. We cranked up our Positive Grid Spark Mini Steve Vai amps, shredded through MXR Randy Rhoads pedals, and swapped between some killer guitars.

The riffs were flowing, the vibes were electric, and we had an awesome time connecting with the live chat. From jaw-dropping solos to gear talk, it was a music lover’s dream.

Stay tuned for more epic jams—you don’t want to miss the next one!

Jason Bonham has announced he won’t rejoin Sammy Hagar's "The Best Of All Worlds" tour. Bonham, who played on the U.S. leg celebrating Hagar-era Van Halen, left with four shows remaining due to a family issue. Kenny Aronoff, a former Hagar collaborator, stepped in for the final dates.

Thank you for having me on your show!

As we near the close of Season 4, we welcome fellow fanatic @johnnybeane to riff on his VH memories and stories, like the time he saw Sammy in his Porsche and those few times he was *almost* in the same record store with him.

Sammy Hagar is building excitement among fans with hints of something big on the horizon.

The rocker recently posted videos on social media featuring himself and Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony in the studio, captioned, “Big announcement coming up next week. The best of all worlds band—we are up to something.” The post also included hashtags like #newmusic, fueling speculation about what’s to come.

In the clips, fans get a taste of what could be a new song. In one video, Anthony is seen laying down a bass line while Hagar’s vocals—singing “thank you”—play in the background. Another clip shows Anthony recording backing vocals, adding to the intrigue.

But it might not stop at music. The post also included the hashtag #moreshows, hinting that another leg of the tour could be in the works. Hagar tagged Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani, and drummer Kenny Aronoff, who stepped in for Jason Bonham during part of the previous tour, suggesting the entire lineup could be involved.

Hagar previously told ABC Audio that he had plans to create new music with his Best of All Worlds tour band and had already collaborated on a song with Satriani. He also expressed hopes for additional tour dates.

The Best of All Worlds tour, which kicked off in July, showcased a mix of Van Halen classics and Hagar’s solo hits, leaving fans eager for what’s next.
