I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.

More quotes by Sammy Hagar
I'm John Lee Hooker in the sense that he was a blues man and he played blues his whole life. I'm a rock guy and I'm going to play rock music my whole life.
Sammy Hagar
I've always been into writing love songs.
Sammy Hagar
I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.
Sammy Hagar
So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.
Sammy Hagar
Write me up for 125, poster my face wanted dead or alive. Take my license all that jive, I can't drive 55.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
I would rather sing about my love affair or about a woman or to a woman than some guys any day.
Sammy Hagar
Everybody has weird dreams, but a usual weird dream is, okay, so your mom's driving a car and she's a dog.
Sammy Hagar
That song [Don't Tell Me] didn't take us anywhere, and I know why now. It wasn't what Van Halen fans wanted. It showed the darkness of Van Halen, and basically the end of the band.
Sammy Hagar
I just have a vision of something, and it seems to go a long way. One thought goes a long way.
Sammy Hagar
Love Walks In, it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.
Sammy Hagar
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
Sammy Hagar
When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.
Sammy Hagar
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
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled, I've been Rolling Stoned.
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.
Sammy Hagar
I've been drinking tequila for a long time now, and it's never been about drinking to get drunk. I don't do that. I never drink tequila during the day, and I don't drive at night.
Sammy Hagar
I can be singing about cat food and I'll make you think that I mean it.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and soul into those records. Those lyrics when I sang 'em, I gave myself goosebumps.
