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 always liked a good love song and I dig being in love.
Sammy Hagar
I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.
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
This is pop music. You've got a candidate for president of the United States using it, that's hitting the biggest audience you're ever going to hit in your entire friggin' life. And you don't want that? Bullshit. That's what you want. It's not even for success or fortune, it's because that's the power of the song.
Sammy Hagar
I can be singing about cat food and I'll make you think that I mean it.

I had been in Africa for six weeks on a safari with my family. I said, You know, I made a lot of money. I am getting kind of burned out. I really want to do something special. So I went on this extended trip to Egypt, Kenya, Sardinia - I really did it, man. I was coming home, and while I was gone, they changed the speed limit from 65 to 55.

Love Walks In, it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
Sammy Hagar
I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot my new record with them is phenomenal.
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
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled, I've been Rolling Stoned.
Sammy Hagar
I had been reading this book about Zen Koan philosophy, and it was talking about the right here and the right now, and how important it is, and I was really trying to get there in my life.
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.

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

I see couples fighting about the stupidest things. You just have to rise above everything.
