More quotes by Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.
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
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
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
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
Write me up for 125, poster my face wanted dead or alive. Take my license all that jive, I can't drive 55.

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 had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.
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
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
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
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled, I've been Rolling Stoned.
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
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 just have a vision of something, and it seems to go a long way. One thought goes a long way.
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
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.
Sammy Hagar
When I want to go be Chickenfoot, I go out and I'm the artist. It's all musical.
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.
