  • I love Sammy, he's awesome. He still sounds great after all these years!

  • Sammy is still is the best! Thank you for the new album!!!!

  • people shouldnt let their obsessions with VH/DLR cloud the fact that Sammy Hagar is an amazing musician. And believe me, i love VH. I own every album (including ADKOT), i wear EVH shoes, i have AVH sticks, and i listen to them constantly, but lets not forget Sam. Need i remind you that he was/is a success b4 and after VH, and Dave simply wasnt? And it was the selfishness/controlling behavior that drove the band apart. And what about Mike Anthony? u can barely hear him in VH records come on folks

  • Going back through the years, I'll take Hagar over VH and Roth. Maybe not the best voice but his songwriting is superior.

    A journeyman indeed but if you wish to compare, I think VH's latest effort is lame at best so how about this (if it were possible)? Sammy writing and Dave singing. I think that would be an interesting scenario.

  • Surely there must be someone in the Van Halen family who can sing...

  • Sammy has a big mouth......but nothing to say...

    most of his songs go: I NEED LOVE...

    he should sing: I NEED LYRICS...

    CHICKENSHIT sounds like a JAM BAND

    on a monday night in some lousy club in the outskirts....

    and....stop bad mouthing VH....they are HUGE....

    Sammy is just.....HISTORY...

    go retire ..you 65 year old wxxker....PERIOD !

  • You know, these guys are nothing more than establishment. The economy is in the shitter, and all these over-fed, spoiled brats talk about is how crazy they are. Come on Sammy, speak out about all the crap. Start by watching "America, Freedom To Fascism", on You Tube. Sammy, it really isn't cute anymore.

  • If it wasn't understood before, with the release of A Different Kind Of Truth, it's now official: Sammy's embarrassing time with Van Halen has been erased from the rock'n'roll record. The group disbanded after the release of 1984... and have picked it up again with ADKOT. Hagar was never in VH.

  • Chickenfoot is a fucking musical abortion.

  • I loved him with Van Halen, but Sammy Hagar sucks now! He has no idea about the new Van Halen CD... it rocks!

  • your looks are related to mickey rourge lol 

  • Page, Richards and Clapton know better, and will continue to avoid this clown....

  • Imagine how rich he must be

  • right on sammy.

  • New VH stuff suuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkksssss! Give it up guys!!!

  • I don't know who the Sammy Haters are .. Sammy is cool period

  • 2:05 Page, Clapton & Richards all look at each other with a fuck-that-shit expression, and laugh. "Haha, silly Tampon, we don't play butt rock."

  • My first concert was when I was 3 years old at Pine Knob, my dad took me to go see Sammy Hagar. My dad had long curly blonde hair, and with glasses on, looked almost identical to Sammy. My dad put me on his shoulder and walked right past the security guard and next thing you know, we are backstage with Sammy. He talked to me and my dad for 15 minutes, and told my dad that his daughter and I (who were the same age at the time) should have a play-date. Still waiting for the call Sammy! ;)

  • Chicken Foot ? Hah more like Chicken shit! sammy can go suck a fat one VAN HALEN IS BACK MOTHER FUCKER

  • @iceking2335 I totally agree, I'm 40 yrs old, hated Van-hagar & this Chicken-crap is just that, utter crap! The new VH aint new songs but there a hellva lot better & its like 1984 again;)

  • sam seems real cool here.

  • Sammy still rocks my freaking world!!!

  • @coltsuperocean10.... Wow, if you've never heard Montrose, and you like good ol' ass-kicking rock-n-roll, you should check them out.

  • Sammy Hagar is one of the coolest, most down to earth guys youll ever meet ! He's hilarious !

  • wow, sammy hargar seems way less arrogant, when it's him talking, in print he comes off as a snyde nosed weasel to me

  • The world needs more chicken foot ...just sayin ;-)

  • Red Rocker!...yeah baby...Bad Motor Scooter n ride!!!!

  • Wow, Sammy sounds like a cool guy and reasonable too. ^^*

  • @semiLivedj Eddie a pioneer? That's a laugh. He's a never done anything innovative. He was a mediocre guitar player in a pop band.

  • total class act. Sammy is someone I would love to meet

  • Comment removed

  • lol its guy vieri from food network

  • Dreams, best Sammy/Van Halen song ever!

  • Dont care.Eddie is great! Changed the way every guitar player plays.A true pioneer! He can act like he wants.People can play like him or even better than him but they all learned it from him!So it doesnt matter how he acts or who he plays with.He did it and that cannot be changed.

  • é um herói!

  • On the expressway today.. in the left lane, there was a reaally old guy in a Ferrari doing 30 mph..

    He was wearing a blonde wig and had a fake spray on tan that made him look like an orange oonpa loompoa....

    He couldnt keep up with the speed limit of 55 mph.

  • Eddie sober? BAD ASS! Eddie drunk? Sloppy mess. If you play, you know I ain't lyin'..............

  • substance abuse............

  • I like both Sammy and Dave as lead singers for VH. But Sammy always seamed to me to be the most stable and level headed out of that whole group of people - even though he drinks a lot.

  • Sammy's a great guy, great rocker, & great lead singer... Whether you like him or Dave better as lead singer for VH is personal preference... I always like the original band members, however I think he did an outstanding job as lead for his time with the band... Obviously, there's some animosity between him and Eddie, however I believe there's always three sides to every story, Sammy's, Eddie's, and the real side. However, like all great marriages, they end in a nasty divorce...

  • i see sammy isn't saying anything good about new van halen, obviously he still wants to be a part of them, i think chickenfoot is just okay, the new songs with roth are way better then chickenfoot,

  • seems like an honest enuff guy. eddie and alex are probably control freaks....but perhaps for any band to be "successful" may need a general (or two) to keep things in check....i don't know.

  • moobs..eat less pies

  • Spammy go the curtains drawn and hasn't left the house ever since the teasers of ADKOT were released.

    How bout A DIFFERENT KIND OF THRUTH, SPAM?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! You and your insignificant little band are toast, Spammy! TOAST!

  • "Your the biggest alcoholic, out of shape, ugly peice of shit... and I know Sammy Hager" LOL American Dad is awesome

  • Michael was a great basest and backup voclas for Van Halen, the backup vocals are so ke and his voice was it. Eddie and Alex care so little for Michael that they replced him with Eddies fat 15 year old son, I mean how insulting. They go that assclown Roth back and seriously who has been waiting for the new album to come out?

  • why in the hell does Chickenfoot have Chad Smith as their drummer? seriously...is there not any other drummer available who doesnt already have commitments to another band? Chad Smith is awesome, but he's no Lars Ulrich or Tommy Lee. ...Let Chad go, and get another drummer who can be your dedicated drummer, with no other commitments or baggage from another band.

  • He has lots of teeth.

  • @nashvilleraidersfan and those teeth are all fake. theres an old sammy solo album before his van hagar days that shows him with a really messed up grill.

  • This is why Sammy is so awesome! He says it like it is, no BS.

  • actually Sammy is incorrect: alchool is no good for the throat, as it dehydrates tissues..

  • @arcuz92 it is bad to strain though... and say you wash it down with some nice water, it may not be bad to loosen up before a full set... i think that's what he meant...

  • @MrBluePsych it's not a matter of washing down, once you drink it all goes through veins and the blood circulation system, you don't fix it drinking some water after it. But anyway, he can do what he wants with his vocal cords, I don't care that much.

  • Funny how his favorite songs are the same ones I'd have given if asked. Well, maybe not the VH song. For me, that's always going to be "The Dream is Over". Or 5150.

  • A special song: A dual lead guitar thing with Joe Satriani and Ronnie Montrose would be fun to watch.

  • Mickey Rourke?

  • @AetroyayorteA.... btw, Sammy was famous BEFORE he joined VH... both with the band Montrose & solo, uh "Rock Candy"? "I Can't Drive 55"? "Heavy Metal"? C'mon dude, don't let your VH crush affect your common sense.

  • @screenpuller ..who?? Montrose?

  • @screenpuller Sammy sucks and nobody cares what he has to say bout VH, he is just mad because he sucked and everyone loves Roth.... by the way, A diff kind of truth was released a couple of weeks ago and hit #2 on the billboard top 200, ummm I didn't see Chicken-crap behind em anywhere LMAO! & Sammy will be looking for his 100 project soon, cause he just can't seem to stick to one thing, because it keeps failing;)

  • If you really look at Sammy for a minute, you realize he looks a lot like Val Kilmer. XD

  • He looks like he's squeezing out a big shit, in the video thumbnail.

  • Van Halen for Life! Forget Van Hagar.... I always liked DLR better anyway.

  • Damn straight, you hit the nail on the head @AetroyayorteA! Let the Mighty Van Halen Live on!!!

  • reminds me of steel panther

  • I am glad I saw Halen in 1984......best halen tour with roth......

    saw sammy with halen in 90s......he sounded great back then with them.......

    could care less for halen now.......tattoo......barf....­....

  • Fuck Hagar, he got rich off the Van Halen brand, name, fame... then parlayed it into making a fortune off liquor then rags on Eddie for being alcoholic? I can't stand this poser. Now Michael Anthony is doing the same with fucking branding some Hot Sauce, no wonder VH can't stand them, even Roth never sank so low as to sell condiments and liquor.

  • @AetroyayorteA HELL YEAH MY MAN....VERY WELL SAID!!! ROCK ON VAN HALEN 2012!!

  • I love you Sammy but here's a question for ya: Why is Chicken foot so dull and boring?

  • sammy is tha MAN fuck eddie van halen and his bro alex.i always liked the music from sammy and him as a dude yeaah rock on red rocker

  • Chickenfoot is unlisten tooable,oh wow does it suck.I wung the cd as far as i could!

  • i can live in a shipping container. and ckickenfoot.

  • ed will not talk to anyone. thats cool. but there fans suffer. thats ok, i ck out your outher video's

  • I wanna see Sammy Hagar as WWE RAW Guest Host. Kid Rock, ZZ Top, Shaq, William Shatner, Ozzy & Sharon, Rob Zombie and plenty of other Musicians/Stars have done it. It's Sammy's turn. maybe Van Halen too, But I wanna see Sammy do it. Come on Sammy!!! Forever RedHead/Red Rocker fan, Danny "The WissRat" Wissert

  • for me one of the best rock singers ever.range,power,tone.,pitch,p­hrasing.superb.oh and he writes too.

  • 3:27 just like in da bed .-)

  • Love Sammy!!, check out my drum covers from Van Halen!!, Please Subscribe!!

  • Mike Anthony was against Dave coming back in 1996 (even more so than the VH bros were) and backed Gary Cherone. He is Sammy's buddy and would be a wedge between Ed and Dave. There is *NO* place in Van Halen for a Sammy Hagar stooge and someone who is anti-DLR.

    Buh-bye, Mike! Enjoy your chosen "career" playing dive-bars with your beloved Spammy!

  • @MrVHWolf : I've been a fan of VH for 28+ yrs. Wolfgang Van Halen SUCKS on bass guitar & backing vox. Michael Anthony was the back bone of VH rythum section & backing vox. The guy is a millionaire many times over. When VH was done with Gary Cherone they weren't doing anything, they were basically broken up... so Mikey started to jam with Sammy & other musicians. He doesn't need VH, VH needs him. Don't think so? Go see them LIVE with Wolfie on Bass. The kid is no Michael Anthony thst's for sure.

  • @Sideler74 Well, i've seen them live and he sounded fine....and i can guarantee you that Mikey still wishes he were part of Van Halen, even if he wont admit it......it'd be great if he was still in the band, but he's not and Wolfie is growing in to the spot just fine....shit happens and i'm moving on with Van Halen 2012, but you can remain bitter as long as you feel necessary, your call!! VAN HALEN 2012!!!

  • @netofgems: Bitter? Hardly. Wolfie is not Michael Anthony. & that Tattoo song VH 2012 put out is TERRIBLE. That is all. Thank-You :)

  • @Sideler74 Well, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it for sure!! It is not their best song, but it SOUNDS like Van Halen....The REAL Van Halen so i've got no problem with it!! Oh, and your observation that Wolfie is not Michael Anthony is brilliant, hope it didn't take to long to figure it out!! Mike is Mike and Wolf is Wolf, funny how that works isn't it?? Rock on guys!!

  • @MrVHWolf Sammy Hagar headlined the Sweden Rock Festival once in 2005, 20 000+ crowd and one helluva show.... Just sayin....

  • I love a good informaive video like this one..:)!

  • Hey Sammy how tied is tied? He,he don't worry, If the band need a drumer I can play drums for Chickenfoot just in case. Cheers.

  • Interesting advice from Hagar on the tequila. I wonder if tequila harms mentally and physically as much as beer and vodka? I tried to jug Smirnoff, BAD IDEA!!!!!

  • One two three lock box!

  • Huge fan of Sammy. I loved his book. The guy is a hell of a singer and a class act.

  • I love both Van Halen and Sammy Hagar. I disagree with some of the things Sammy has said but I think Van Halen is on the right track now. I hope Sammy and Eddie can fix their problems. Hate to see two guys I really admire fued.

  • Dreams and Right Now are the best Van Halen songs ever!

  • @Guitargawd13 bwahahaha!! that WAS a joke... right?!?!

  • I really think Hagar is credible as a true rock n roll musician. Hes done it all and theres no cliche there. He's rocked everywhere. But hes got a good atttitude. That's the difference.

  • @Billbill80s . . . well said ! agree

  • This guys' rap is always captivating !

  • lol "You left Chickenfoot out pal!!!!" LOL

  • awesome video , sammyROCKS

  • Sammy is the Man! Still tearing it up.

  • sounds awesome even today when he sings still got it

  • Very Intresting to see both musicians & bands are heading for one thing... Make great Musics.

  • this guy looks like Cpt. Barbosa from pirates of the carribean.

  • nice guy

  • nice job!No smoking!!!!Great Sammy!We love the Chili Peppers too!One last thing...I think Sammy should give some money to those who are homeless instead of having one car for each week,cause THEY NEED A JOB!

  • Sammy's the coolest!

  • fud!!

    

  • Dude!!! Sammy is the shitz all wayz has been all wayz will be. His book explains ALOT! I love Van Halen no doubt, my greatest shot is of Eddie but now I understand so much more! Sammy broought the greatest success streak they've EVER had, he's quite the biz man as well and doesn't even need to play music after selling Cabo, & still got the clubs!?! WTF! He's the FUCKING MAN!!!!

  • He's got the life, let me be the first to say.

  • Not the biggest fan of his music but he would be a blast to hang out with.

  • you gotta love sammy hes like that real cool music teacher you had at high school, 

  • Hagar sucks. Period. Without exception. Sucks.

    And I hope that he's reading this.

    Van Halen has ALWAYS kicked your ass. Including when you were in the band. And they'll kick your ass when this album comes out. And they'll continue to kick your ass, regardless of what you say or do. Just a fact.

    "....somebody said 'Fair Warning'....lord...."

  • @U2Bprez I hear you. I FUKKING LUV your last 3 albums! All killer. Back under your bridge. Why do people have to be so cro-mag: ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER!!?! Do you like ice cream but HATE frozen yogurt?! lmfao. If you don't like sumpin', don't listen. Use that time to go get your meds checked/upped or go outside and play.
  • @U2Bprez Then stop watching the red rocker, dammit !

  • @U2Bprez jesus, get a life and quit being a rock snob.

  • @MrChupacabra1995 Rock Snob? Absolutely, yes. I know my stuff and I stand behind every word.

  • @U2Bprez No, you do not know your "stuff." You think you do, you don't. What you said doesn't rise above the level of opinion. It doesnt even approach 'fact'. And your opinion is not one iota more valid than anyone else's. And since there are millions who would disagree with you, it can safely said that yes you are a snob, and an ignorant, unimpressive one at that. And in no way do you "know your stuff".

  • @U2Bprez "Hagar sucks. Period." Ha, that's funny. What you really mean is that you want to suck him off. Period. Why else would you spend so much time, hanging around the site of his interview video just to trash him? You probably beat your little wood splinter every morning like it's an unwanted stepchild, dreaming that he's seranading you, right? Most normal people avoid those things which they hate. Just come out of the closet and be yourself.

  • You guys maybe hagar haters, but you still watch the red rocker videos ! 'Gotta admit you like him !

  • @mcdstuff Dont watch it then , you Troll

  • Heeellooo baby!

  • Could there be a more real, down to earth person than Sammy Hagar? Listening to him talk you can tell that he's the kind of guy that respects other people for who they are. That's refreshing in a world of fake people who are kind to your face and then talk down about you. ROCK ON Sammy, you da man!

  • The coolest grandpa in the world bar none.

  • I wanna go drinkin' with Sammy!

  • 2:15 to 2:53, pure freaking good answer about van halen. He may bashes some people, but I think that's really true.

  • sammy's a great guy.

  • What a cool guy.

  • this guy never gets old

  • cool guy

  • Rolling Stone has 666 Videos. The Number of The Beast!

  • Chickenshit

    

  • @hinson5150 -you an ass-wipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @theoriginalteeoh why? cause Van Halen blows Chickenshit away? It's not my fault VH kicks their ass!!!!!!

  • @hinson5150 -man you got jokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Loved Sammy's solo stuff, but, I'm sorry, Van Halen will always be Dave and Eddie. When 5150 came out I thought it was better than anything they ever did with Roth. Listen to it now. It's OK, but doesn't hold up to the Dave years.

  • I just can't understand comparing DLR with Sammy, as a singer Sammy overtook him with one hand, yes, DLR era in Van Halen is cool but you can't compare voice, performance and Lyrics, I just can't stand DLR

  • weirdo. He did alright in can't this be love but thats it. David lee roth was way better.

  • Sammy hagar is an amazing singer, he has one of the best voices out there. However, you cant compare him to Roth because DLR is the best showman out there.

  • How the fuck do people dislike answers to questions that he alone can possible answer because they were written to him.

  • JIMMY PAGE AND SAMMY HAGAR!

  • @nochix96isnuts Holy crap. That would be so amazing and a half.

  • Sammy seems like a good dude! I like his positive attitude.

  • I'll take Dave over Sammy any day, but damn it's hard to dislike this guy!

  • This Q&A speaks for itself

  • Sammy LOVES that new rock song by HWY-99 called "Let The Sunrise Say Goodbye" ... great track for a Halloween Party (check it out on YouTube) !!!

  • really uneven fake tan on that face

  • @zakkattack99 living in cabo wabo theres no need for a fake tan

  • I don't ever want to hear any shit about Sammy,he is definitely a man's man.

    Enough said!!!

  • *SAMMY's Favorite New Rock Song - "Let The Sunrise Say Goodbye" from HWY-99 ... now on YouTube ! (classic rock)

  • . Sammy is doing so well because he has his crap together, his head on straight, and he has never stopped playing, yeah he has the money and cars and all that but its his love for the music that keeps him in it and he could jam with anyone and it would be awesome. Sammy you effin rock there is no one like you and those boys lost it and its sad but we still got you and you are kicking ass!!!

  • @nkki660 fuk yeh brosky

    

  • @newarrior3000 thanks dude lol i am not a brosky tho i am a girl so its sista...lol jk thanks for agreeing with me

    

  • @nkki660 amen!

  • JIMMY PAGE! Yes!!

  • LOL HE WUD SAY HOW HIGH IF EDDIE SED JUMP . PUN INTENDED

  • CABO SUX SINCE HE SOLD IT ,

  • *CHECK OUT SAMMY'S new favorite rock song by HWY-99 called "Let The Sunrise Say Goodbye" ... now on YouTube (killer track) !!!

  • I guess the people taking shots at Hagar are still hung up on "old" Van Halen. You know, the band that hasn't put out an album in 27 years? Yeah that one.

    The last time Van Halen put out an album with Roth, there was no internet as we know and use it, we were using Commodore 64s, handheld mobile phones were one year old and MTV was still playing music!

    Let it go. It's over. Roth is bald with a WAY too goofy smile, and Eddie looks like a toothless 90 year old, but is twice as disoriented.

  • @Stinger9D9 NO! DONT LET GO! those WERE the last great days of music... as mickey rourke in the wrestler put it before "kurt cobain came along and spoiled the party..." do you really want to be stuck with the boring, shitty, vacuous lady gaga shit spiraling ever downwards.. go buy VH's new album... its all re workings of 70's demos but its the first real rock album in a long time.... hagar hasnt done anything decent without van halen since "heavy metal"....

  • Van Halen blows Chickenshit away!

  • @hinson5150 hahahahaha

  • @hinson5150 While I'm sure you're an expert on blowing, the fact is that even though Roth has been back for 3 years, there's still no new Van Halen album because Eddie has become such a control freak that he has destroyed the creativity and looseness that made Van Halen the best band in hard rock. Hagar is living his life, having fun. He's richer than any of the other members of VH and even pulled Roth out of the gutter about 7 years ago when he let Roth co-headline with him.

  • @sickphil71 To true!!!!

  • @sickphil71 Dude, look at the band's name. What's it called? It's not just Eddie but it's him and Alex. I am sure they worked together on the songs. If they didn't agree with each other (most of the times), Alex might be another original member dropped from Van Halen, which would be more depressing since they are brothers.

  • @kgp8 What does that have to do with what we were discussing? Hinson5150 was making disparaging comments about Hagar. Furthermore, Eddie, while I love him as an artist, IS a control freak, which probably at least partially explains why they've had a revolving door at the lead singer postion for the entire 37 years that this band has existed.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @sickphil71 I agree with the whole revolving door analogy. But what's the difference between a control freak and a lead planner. The band's name is Van Halen so Eddie and Alex are the guys that creates the sound.

  • @kgp8 Led Zeppelin was Jimmy Page's band but he had the the good sense to listen to John Paul Jones' input and to let it him have some part in the creative process . Granted , there is noone of Jones' talent or understanding of song structure in VH , but I still think VH would be bettre served if they were more openminded to the other guys' suggestions
