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.

If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.

I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like Love Walks In, I can do it.
Sammy Hagar
Image
I just have a vision of something, and it seems to go a long way. One thought goes a long way.

I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later

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've always been into writing love songs.

When I want to go be Chickenfoot, I go out and I'm the artist. It's all musical.
Sammy Hagar

Yes, I'm looking at you, looking at me, looking at you, looking at me, looking back at you.

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.

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.

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.

I would like to enlighten people.

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

When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits package.

Everybody has weird dreams, but a usual weird dream is, okay, so your mom's driving a car and she's a dog.

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.

I loved that song [Don't Tell Me], but man, it was dark. That song did nothing for Van Halen.

I can be singing about cat food and I'll make you think that I mean it.
