More quotes by 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
If you have a higher reason ... than just to make money... it will bring you longer fulfillment. And it won't feel like work.
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 looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.
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
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
I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
Sammy Hagar
I was really wanting to be a rock star. I was saying, I am going to have a fancy car, I got to have fancy clothes, and I have got to play the whole role. Obviously, I meant business.
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
If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.
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
All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.
Sammy Hagar
I've always been into writing love songs.
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
After I had my dream, I got into numerology. Like my buddy's name is Bill, and I would say, B is a two, and each I is a nine, and the L's are fours. And that's eight. I would figure out everybody's numerological single-digit number.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
You could be in the gutter and fall in love with someone, and you feel great. That's my honest opinion. I've witnessed both sides of that fence and being in love is where it's at.
Sammy Hagar
I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.
