Despite the core members consisting of lead vocalist Sammy Hagar from Montrose and later Van Halen, lead guitarist Neal Schon of Journey, bassist Kenny Aaronson, who played with Joan Jett and Billy Idol and drummer Michael Shrieve of Santana, the band was later identified as a "Flash-in-the-Pan" supergroup.
In a report cited by BBC Music, Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve, also known as HSAS, was among the nine supergroups that failed to recreate the same spark and success they had achieved with their original bands.
Formed in 1983, the quartet released their debut album, Through the Fire, in 1984.

Among the standout tracks was "A Whiter Shade of Pale," a cover of a song by the British rock group Procol Harum.
Another signature song by the four-member band was "Top of the Rock." It is widely considered their anthem.
Unfortunately, following the one-and-done album, HSAS officially disbanded less than a year after their debut.
“A band like that should go on the road like real men do,” the drummer told Ultimate Classic Rock, adding, “They go out on the road and you take it everywhere. That’s how you do that. And that was the reason why, in my opinion, it didn’t do what it should have done.”
“They felt that they could sit back in their armchairs and sell records just by putting out a freaking video,” he added, referring to bandmates Hagar and Schon.
