Quote

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

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
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.

It's a good thing I don't read everything Eddie says, or I'd be up in arms and not enjoying my life.

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

So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.

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

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 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.
Sammy Hagar
Image
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 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
Image
I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot my new record with them is phenomenal.

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

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.

And for him [Kurt Cobain] to do that [suicide] - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong. It just sent a bad message to a troubled generation.

Love Walks In, it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.
Sammy Hagar
Image
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
Image
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.
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.
