  • Van Halen is better with DLR but Sammy is the better solo artist.

  • Soooo luv this song!!!!

  • Love Sammy Hagar!!! His solo stuff was the best, IMO, just never liked EVH (prick)...

  • VanHalen does not know what it's missing since he Sammy Hagar left. Too bad the rest of the band can't carry a tune. He is one hard rockin singer who made the band work. Well at least they still have Eddie on lead guitar. Bill

  • The Red Rocker can still bring it! Would love to see him reunite with Van Halen for one more album..

  • This song - YOUR LOVE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY - by SAMMY HAGAR peaked at # 13 on the Billboard HOT 100 in the spring of 1983

  • true heavy metal !!!!!!!!

  • @HeavyMetalBeliever very true. sammy is the sh!t

  • i love smmy.

  • @HeavyMetalBeliever agreed. and make that 'were talented' cause ed's washed up now

  • @jl98jl Alex is washed up too apparently. At least Sammy Hagar can still play guitar and sing, all Eddie can do is make endorsement deals and get royalties every time someone buys an album with "Beat It" on it or downloads it online.

  • DLR is one of the dislikes for sure...

  • @jl98jl And the Van Halen brothers. Yeah, they may be talented, but they're assholes.

  • I have always loved Sammy!!!! I've followed him from Montrose to present day! Never miss a show if I can help it!!!!

  • I so love this song! Thank you for posting.

  • SAMMY IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • is all i can say is i wish i could go back to the time when this song came out what a blast!!!!!!!

  • @kjames475 RIGHT ON MAN-- IT ---WAS-- A BLAST IN THE 80S!!!!!!!!!! TODAY IS A SHIT PILE COMPARED TO THEN, EVEN WITH ALL THE TECHNO CRAP PRODUCTS OF TODAY! THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH BETTER THINGS WERE THEN-- ON EVERY LEVEL!!!

  • @Karnakdmagnificent and we had lotsa sex without having to worrry

  • Billboard's #79 song of '83. God bless ya, brother Sammy. Thanx, Louvers, for postin' it Happy new year, Sammy.

  • lol fukrs...

  • This song should have been in the movie "Top Gun".

  • I always listen to this song when a beautiful woman kind enough to let me be in a relationship with her is "Driving Me Crazy". SAMMY HAGAR FOR PRESIDENT!!!

  • My mom and I were singing this when it came on the TV "Retro Rock" station

  • Sammy rocks as a solo artist!! No Van Hagar for me!!!

  • This is one of my favorite Hagar songs. Reminds me of when I was a teenager. Why does everybody always compare people in rock? He's better than him or this is better than that. I've seen Hagar solo and with Van Halen and I've seen Roth with VH and it was all awesome! They all contributed and made great music. Much better than the bullshit you see today!

  • Van Halen aside (and he was GREAT with them) hagar was an underrated singer/guitarist/songwriter his whole career. Anyone remeber Montrose???

  • @zepploid

    Yes I do.... hot sweet cherries off the fucking tree here..

    Now that lyric may make that WKHALFASS happy here

    FUCK HIM

  • @onlyafterdarkness You can't fuck me. I'm straight. Go find a gay man to satisfy you.

  • @zepploid Yes indeed! Rock Candy. Space Station #5. Bad Motor Scooter. Rock The Nation.

  • I give credit to sammy hagar for sammy hagar..gotta say out of roth and him, i prefer the roth songs...but he was an ass!!!

  • i like halen but you have to give sammy credit all of the songs he sang with them went big

  • Reminds me of being 17 and cruising around in my 69 dodge charger with a bad wireing harness and my girl with me just jammin to Hagar waiting for the lights to go out.aaaaaaaaaaa yeeaaaa! Memories.

  • i rember when i used take chick out put this cass.it works all the time if you know what i mean rock sammy......

  • Saw Sammy in Houston with Night Ranger. Drank to much and bought the wrong t-shirt. Boy was I ticked.

  • I never liked Sammy with Van Halen. I love Van Halen, and I like Sammy's solo stuff. But the two never seemed to fit that well together. This is probably my favorite Sammy solo song.

  • @BrownanDownable...i agree. People get so upset about the whole roth/hagar thing, but I just preferred the mojo Van Halen seemed to have with Roth.

  • Comment removed

  • for every 500 like theres always 10 idiots who dont like the song

  • OMG lmao you guys are dumb... Cherries on the vine is a sexual reference!!!! dumbasses

  • I work at walgreens and this is like the number one song haha

  • Sammy has the vocals hands down...

    

  • i was soooo in love with the "red rocker" sammy hagar.. way before van halen. oh i thought eddie v halen was hot too.. what a little hussy i was. haha

  • Love Van Halen, but his solo stuff is the best!

  • @tk2aero Yeah I agree to me David Lee Roth will always be the voice of Van Halen but Sammy Hager is way better as a solo artist instead of the his new band chickinfoot with Michael Anthony & it goes for him too Michael Anthony was way better in Van Halen then chickenfoot

  • @resdsox1 yOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG! SAMMY WAS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO VAN HALEN. ROTH'S VOICE WAS ALWAY'S ABOUT HIMSELF!!

    YOU AREN'T A TRUE VH FAN IF YOU THINK ROTH WAS THE BEST FRONTMAN. WHY DO YOU THINK THIS NEW VH ALBUM SUCKS? IT GOT EDDY DRINKING AGAIN!

  • @shyte1961 NO! YOUR THE ONE THAT IS WRONG DAVID LEE ROTH WILL ALWAYS BE THE VOICE OF VH! SAMMY HAGAR WAS A DOUCHEBAG IN VH! YOUR THE ONE THAT IS NOT A TRUE VH FAN IF YOU THINK SAMMY HAGAR IS THE VOICE OF VAN HALEN & NO I LIKE THE NEW VH ALBUM BUT THERE BEST ALBUM WILL ALWAYS BE THE 1ST VH ALBUM NO VH ALBUM HAS NOT EVEN CAME CLOSE TO THAT ALBUM! BUT I ADMIT SAMMY HAGAR MADE BETTER SOLO ALBUMS THE DAVID LEE ROTH!

  • @resdsox1 you suck

    sammy created a new vh and that alone saved vh! while dave snorted kilos and fried his brain, vh was rockin

    yankee rose, just like paradice, and couple others kept dave in coke money yeaaaaa whooooopy ........... oh and mewise magic was a last hurrah !!!

    so take that DOUCHE BAG!

  • @musiclovr2 You Suck!

    Sammy Hagar kicked ass as a solo artist but he will not be the voice of Van Halen he was a joke when he was in Van Halen

    David Lee Roth will always be the voice of Van Halen but yeah his solo work was not all that great but I have no problem fighting with anyone saying that David Lee Roth was not the voice of Van Halen witch he is

  • @musiclovr2 Amen brother!!!! If DLR didn't have Vai & Sheehan playing in his band he would've been snorting baby powder!!!

  • @tk2aero AMEN!!

  • For those 10 people that clicked the dislike button. F$%^ you

  • Get over the cherry thing...This is a GREAT song!!!

  • Gotta luv Sammy...Greatest song ever by him♥

  • @TAMPABAYSUCKS Umm.....the food there ain't that good.......

  • That's what I'm talking about.  An audio/album version that SOUNDS good!!! Thank you!

  • these ten haters wouldn't know good music if it kicked them in the ass!

  • that,s just sammy

  • This song - Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy - By Sammy Hagar ( Full name Sammuel Roy Hagar born on 10-13-1947 in Monterey CA) Peaked at # 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in March- 1983

  • love this song and the red rocker!!!!

  • This song should be played loudly, or louder than that. It's listeners should be prepared to seriously rock out in it's awesomeness.

  • I played drums for Sammy Hagar last year at the CaBo Wabo's in Las Vegas!!!  And he is TALENTED!

  • Comment removed

  • Ah yes, this is REAL music, why new music has to drive crazy,,,with being terrible is beyond me. These new artists have so much music to get inspired from but they either ignore it or outright rip it off by sampling and making a completely new (bad) version. Its rare to hear something decent let alone good music today. Long live the 80s!

  • @ViciousAlienKlown the 80's were good, but the 60's and 70's were better :)

  • @ViciousAlienKlown I was a teenager in the 80s but I do love the 70s just as much. The 60s has some great music to but in my opinion not as much.

  • Sorry Sammy, cherries dont grow on vines. They grow on trees. Dumb Ass!!!

  • @sugardaddy31766 Is that why they call it a cherry tree? Dumbass.

  • Please post three lock box?

  • sammy!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 80's.....best decade EVER!!!!!!!!

  • @suthrnbell32 Amen, no ifs, and, or butts!!

  • @suthrnbell32

    BAR NONE!! 80's are long gone, but they live on in the memory of millions.

  • @suthrnbell32 any real music Connoisseur gotta consider 80's rock the best rock

  • @suthrnbell32 Oh Yaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • we love you in st.louis sammy!!!!!!!!!! red rocker

  • I like this song. But Sammy messed up when he sang "Hot sweet cherries on the vine". Cherries grow on TREES, not VINES.

  • @onlyafterdarkness Funny you would single me out when I was by no means the only person to notice that. Which I did long before there was a You Tube.

    Now bask in your make-believe superioity complex...

  • Comment removed

  • First Concert I ever saw was Sammy opening up for Z.Z. Top, 1983, Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale Long Island. Feels like it was yesterday!

  • this is really good shit!!,,needs heavier edge,,but cool!!

  • Sammy hit #13 in Billboard, 2-26-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! God bless ya, brother Sammy!

  • This is music

  • I've always loved older women

  • @DipShitCajun they are the best lol

  • 80's i think is the best of all time.

  • Always loved this Rock Songs that makes me wanna SCREAM and go LIVE!

  • My favorite song from the 1980s. Why can't bands of today make music this good?

    I used to listen to this song in Florida.

  • yep good tunes from back when I was in my 20's.

  • These six haters are driving me crazy.....

  • @gemdavey You Got it my friend.....they are trying to defend their feeble and weak generation of music. They can't back it up,....... we all know that, 80's RULE... The haters know that. I hope they come around............Peace as always.

  • Thanks for posting this. Glad i grew up in the 80s

  • 6 people listen with no ears.

  • Hagar rules!

  • Comment removed

  • @musicman257 The younger generation only has crap like Linkin Park and Puddle of Mudd to compare. No comparisant at all Sammy by a landslide!

  • Sammy has such a voice! I love this song!

  • doobie light up an feel the Magic!!

  • So awesome!!! I hope i see him when i go to Cabo next year!!! : )

  • @bbsunshine11 Make sure you go in October, he has his annual Birthday Bash!  His B-Day is the 13th.

  • Sammy Hagar: a tiny little man trapped in the lipstick!

  • @FilmSlides That is a great question. I think Standing Hampton was best. The question I want answered is if the first Montrose album was as classic as Standing Hampton. Rock Candy vs Heavy Metal. Make It last vs There's only one way to Rock. The Red Rocker Kicks ass. I love the three lock box album too along with VOA.

  • Three Lock Box and Standing Hampton, hard to tell which one is better.

  • i'm 15 and i love this song

  • I remember this from very late '82 and early '83. A great one from Hagar.

  • 1:43 makes me overweight

  • I remember I had this cassette tape when I was 18 and wore it out! Great freakin' album from a great rocker!! Long live the Red Rocker Sammy!!

  • i love this song-one of my faves.wish hed come to rocklahoma!!!!!!!!!!

  • @hulk90000 yeah!!!

  • Great song from the red rocker!

  • SAMMY HAGAR---"YOUR LOVE"

  • GO Red Rocker!!

  • sammys a legend, success as a solo artist and then is actually better then diamond dave.

  • I love this song and i love Samm

  • One of his best!

  • How can anyone not like this song? A true classic.

  • Your Love is driving me crazy > your love is my drug

  • Comment removed

  • Funny how fast Van Halen went downhill once Sammy left.

    Coincidence? I think not!

  • @WarrenTooLoren2 Yeah, not gonna lie, sammy held them together like glue.

  • sammy hagar fucking rocks!

  • I've got the poster from the Three Lock Box album cover hanging in my garage. Can't beat The Red Rocker!

  • Classic!

  • Three Lock Box TOUR '83. I was there and still have the t-shirt from the show. Man I love the 80'S!!!!

  • Billboard's #79 song of '83. Sammy, the Red Rocker, hit #3 rock, #13 pop, in Billboard. God bless!

  • The Red Rocker!!! OH BOY All the Keg Parties, Great times Thanks for the posting.

  • Awesome song! Thanks for posting it! :)

  • I have all the Sammy Hagar albums during the Geffen era on vinyl. They're all good in my opinion. and i'm only 20

  • (Part 3 of 3) And the rest of his reply: "I was using (if I remember...!) a Roland JP-8, a PPG wave, an Emulator 3, maybe a roland JX3P..no Oberheim stuff. I found that for me, it did not translate well across the guitar spectrum. I needed

    to use synths that were able to be programed to either cut through guitars or ride on top of them."

  • @deodato2 Thanks so much for a real musician's input. Much appreciated!

  • (Part 2 of 3) Here's the first part of Alan Pasqua's reply: "Thanks for your note...I came up with all the parts for everything that I played in those days. Keith was in the studio as well as Sammy, and they would either like a part or hate it. It was up to me to find something that fit."....

  • (Part 1 of 3) Thought everyone might find this interesting. In 2005 I played this song on keyboards in a local cover band and had the pleasure of e-mailing Alan Pasqua, who played keys on the original, and received a kind reply from him. I asked if he recalled what type of synth he used and if he was "told" by Keith Olsen (producer) or Sammy to play those parts the way he did or if he pretty much had creative control. His reply is in Parts 2 & 3 (ran out of room on this message :)

  • Indeed remember this one from 1982-83.

  • I have this album on CD and I will never get rid of it. It's so hard to find. THis is my favorite Sammy Hagar song. It might also be my favorite song of all the 80s.

  • Hard Rockin' Sammy's only Top 20 Solo Hit reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983

  • sounds like chickenfoot........:P:PP:P

  • one lone Lady Gagamaggot fan... oooh so sad

  • great song i like sammy  with montrose & his solo stuff, but never liked van hagar

  • i have this song as my ringtone great song

  • Gota love that Sammy he will always be the red rocker !

  • Takes me back to some awesome days!!!!!

  • Isn't this the song that goes youre driving me crazy you driving me mad that one 80's style song it's been so many many many years... =( 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's is real music not this fake garbage today 

  • @Jackspadeproductions that new shit doesnt even count as music.

  • This is a fun song!

  • love sammy

  • Great memories cruising down the road, blasting this song on the stereo, definitely a great feeling. Everybody can thank MTV for ruining music.

  • @LMTTrueReview So true!

  • This great song reached #13 in early 1983. (U.S., Billboard) -- It is a classic hit!

  • This goes out to oh so many people. Take a guess on who you are???

  • OMFG why.....1 dislike......wtf comon!!!! why cant there be a universally liked vid!!! whoever did it saw that there were 0 dislikes and decided to be a d bag...comon wtf!!!!

  • Man hearing this song brings back so many great memories...awh to be a teen again and on the beach ;)

  • @emanuelle677 i take Sammy Hagar over David Lee Roth solo but for van halen i would have to say i like David better but the Hagar era of van halen had some good tunes for sure

  • I don't know who's the better frontman for VH, but Sammy had the better solo career by far. This song--and a dozen others--prove it.

  • @FireHalen1 And he's a better singer and musician BY FAR. The things they wrote with Hagar were MUCH more musically inspired than the childish-sounding stuff they did with Dave.

  • Hagar over David Lee Roth any day ! Damn this was an awesome time god please bring those days back music today is shit nothing like music from back in the day !

  • @emanuelle677 amen brother!

  • Love it , Thanks 4 posting some real music..........!

  • i actually prefer Hagar over david lee roth

  • LOVE!!!! this soo many teenage memories =)

  • HIt #3 rock, #13 pop in Billboard. God bless!

  • good music for extreme sports, hampton beach, camaors iroc z's....or ass smacking.
