Quote

Dave was great in Van Halen. No question about it. He was one of the best at being Mr. Rock Star. But it's sickening to see a guy still trying to be that with a wig on 20 years later.

I would rather sing about my love affair or about a woman or to a woman than some guys any day.

I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.

Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.

We always sold 4 or 5 million records no matter what we did.

I'd say it [I Can't Drive 55] has probably been the most successful song I've ever been involved with, including any Van Halen songs.
Sammy Hagar
Image
I loved that song [Don't Tell Me], but man, it was dark. That song did nothing for Van Halen.

I feel it's such a tragic thing [Kurt Cobain's suicide]. Here is a guy, a young guy, that had everything in his hands. He could have had a great life. He had a wife, he had a child, he had a fantastic career. He was important to a generation. And for him to do that - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong.

The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
Sammy Hagar

I wish I would have known Kurt Cobain. I would have been the first guy there to get him help, doing anything I could have. I just felt like the people around him kind of let him down.

We needed time off from each other after our last tour because there was a lot of personal stuff we had to take care of. Eddie needed hip replacement surgery. Al needed his back worked on. And I was going to have a baby.

I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.

The good thing about breaking up is that you have nothing else to lose.

I was loud and electric at night, got all shook up with Elvis.

Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled, I've been Rolling Stoned.

I'm a co-writer, publisher of that song [Right Now ], so for it to get accepted, we had to sign off on it. I signed off in a second. You bet that anyone can use this. I don't care. You can use it for anything. If it is to inspire people in the positive sense.

It took me a long time to put it to use in things, but the name of my publishing company is Nine Music, and Red became my theme song.

I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like Love Walks In, I can do it.

I've had my fill of One Way To Rock or I Can't Drive 55. Those are guy songs to me, and I'm cool with that. But when you write a great love song and you start seeing that 50 percent of your audience is beautiful women, that's much more rewarding, than having a bunch of guys out there.

I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.

There are a lot of people going around where an alien took over their body, and their soul will actually leave and be, like, in a sleep or in a near-death situation.
