Sammy Hagar & Joe Satriani release NFL theme song

Sammy Hagar’s been writing stadium-size rock anthems for decades, so it’s no surprise he has teamed with the NFL to provide some musical inspiration for the new season.

Hagar and Chickenfoot partner Joe Satriani have recorded “Knockdown,” one of the new songs included on the Official Gameday Music Of The NFL three-track single.

Along with tracks from Darius Rucker and Hinder, Hagar’s “Knockdown” is an adrenaline-charged, fist-pumping rocker that will be used by the NFL throughout the season.

The track will likely remind fans of Hagar’s “Mas Tequila,” his attempt at rewriting Gary Glitter’s “Rock And Roll Part II,” a song that has filled sports venues for years.

Meanwhile, Hagar and Satriani are also featured on the new Chickenfoot disc, “Chickenfoot III,” set for release September 27.
