The Issue Is: Sammy Hagar

[@MetalMcfly]

Saw Sammy 6 times in concert with Van Halen. Always energetic, had the crowd in his hand, top notch performer and was never on an ego trip. The guy is a legend

[@tomsauer3830]

He is genuine. He almost became a boxer.

[@tracezachdaniels4264]

YES.!!!!!!

[@jamesbasham5439]

[@Mr.Steve-O]

I was at the grand opening of Cabo Wabo in the late 80's. Such an awesome time, Sammy came driving up to the main strip in Cabo in an old beater with " I can't drive 55 " spray painted on the side of the car. Eddie, Alex and Michael came after him cruising up on ATV's and they hung out with everyone, taking pictures and enjoying cocktails with us all. It was a magical moment that I will never forget

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

So awesome.

[@jimmyz2098]

What a man. So refreshing to see a guy with Sammy's Life, and his trail of success.... being the guy he always was. I love this man. Always have. Saw him probably 12 times with Van Halen. Saw him solo. Saw him on the Sam and Dave Tour. Saw him with Chickenfoot. Never a dull moment, and never anything less than a phenomenal show, and a phenomenal performance by Sam. The best. The Red Rocker is the best. Period.

[@Millerman57]

So I'm 65 and saw Sammy live back in the Montrose days. Always liked this dude. What struck me funny on this video was at 4:28 he's playing his Paul at a place called The Strat.....lol 😂

[@detroit313vlogs7]

Sammy is a living legend. What a pure good always happy man. Always smiling. Always having a good time. Exactly how life should be lived. Seen him last year in detroit. He rocked like a 20 year old. At 75 years young , that says a lot.

[@kerzytibok3211]

Van Halen fans always loved David Lee Roth more --- that is just a basic fact

[@detroit313vlogs7]

@@kerzytibok3211 lol. Sure

[@216Numbskull]

​@@kerzytibok3211 WTF does that have to do with anything or Sammy being a cool dude? Like most VH fans I myself dig the VH tunes in the DLR day's more too. Those are my jam's & part of the soundtrack in my childhood. But that's as far as the love goes with DLR with me. And I'd bet most fans would agree with me on that also if they ever met Dave personally? Which is more so what we're talking about here? Let me tell you sumpin' about sumpin'. David Lee Roth is & has always been a egotistical pompous prick who never really gave VH fans the time of day. Unless it was a hot chick willing & able to get down backstage, on the bus or at the hotel after the show to fill David's needs. That's also a basic fact too, my friend. Real Talk! I'd rather hang out & party with a cool cat like Sammy any day of the week. Over being around some arrogant dipsh!t like David Lee Roth talk about nothing but himself all day for sure, wouldn't you? Just saying...

[@MatthewC137]

@@kerzytibok3211 My best friend was a huge VH fan in the 1980s and he liked Sammy so much more than Dave it wasn't even close. Sammy is much cooler and kinder than douche canoe Dave and THAT is just a basic fact.

[@standingvertical3048]

@@MatthewC137 I believe if they took a pole, Sammy would not win. He's a Turd, that tossed Ed under the Bus. Alex and Wolf both knows this as well.

[@keithdonaldson3945]

To me this is one of his best interviews. The otherworldly experiences really do place these vessels of free will into perspective, very fragile and wanting to error on the side of how can we make this a better place.

[@johnrpizzaguy]

Although I have never met Mr Hagar I have known his manager for many years and Sammy is known to be a great person, how cool that he donates so much. Life is too short why not spread the wealth, good on him and his wife.

[@cleech74]

Wasn’t aware of his charity work until I just watched this. It only adds to how much of a good dude Sammy really is. Great interview.

[@fuzzypoet1018]

Sammy showed up at one of my Dad's parties in Malibu back in '89. Long story short: Sammy is a f**king GREAT guy! Totally cool and very down to earth. I spent 2 hours drinking beer and cooking hot dogs with Sammy and Cheech Marin. Just 3 musicians chilling out, and it blew my 19-year old mind!

[@petersimpson1734]

Sammy is a good dude and has an amazing life for all the right reasons. Saw him Live a few months back in Bend Oregon...... still rockin at 75!!!

[@yvettecarr9759]

❤I love the Red Rocker! You have a beautiful soul and please keep it up..🎸

[@tomsauer3830]

He was absolute magic with Eddie, Alex and Michael. I just got out of bootcamp in San Diego, March of 1986. I had heard Valen Halen before with Diamond Dave. Very good stuff, top stuff. Haggar put a great spin on it. I thought Sammy had the only voice that could work on 5150, then onward.

[@kimberluna2226]

Sammy... My learned something new today, I was unaware of your all your charitable giving and your very humble beginnings, you've sure made your mom proud.... Such an inspiration to others...There's many a child out there that needs to hear your story, meet you in person, you could do something that not many may have the opportunity to make a impact.... Your right, at your age there is so much more life that you'll be fortunate to live & still give...your awesome....keep your spirit....your truly a blessing...

[@sdean4816]

Sammy is one hell of a human being. There’s so much more to him than just music.

[@hubrisnaut]

I have a friend who knows Sammy, personally. My friend plays bass and they have jammed together many times, in Cabo. I don't think anyone will see this, but all reports are, Sam loves people, and is brilliant, the end...

I saw him once with Van Halen. BEST performance I've ever seen! Power house voice and energy!! And so down to earth!! I'm in love!!

[@kendogthunder]

For all the talk about Sammy's vocals. He was also one helluva guitarist. I seen up close right after montrose as The Red Rocker. He opened a three band concert with the headliner being Nazareth. He blew them all away.

[@steverinaldi890]

Sammy is awesome. I first went to Cabo San Lucas only to see Cabo Wabo. Loved every band he’s been in along the way. Seems like a genuine, great guy.

[@markusP35204]

Sammy is my kinda dude. Lotsa stuff is thrown at him, he ducks, catches it, and throws it back, or just gets back up and keeps going. Go, Sammy Hagar!!!

[@shippenman5977]

The Red Rocker always delivers.

[@scottfromsouthcarolina3185]

Glad to see Sammy giving back to society. He knows he can't take it with him and can spread so much love with his abundance.

[@HeRacesTheSun]

How Sammy views things and goes after what he wants reminds me of what Wayne Dyer wrote in his books, a quote... "When one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams, to live the life that he has imagined, he will be met with a success unknown in common hours" And I've done the same, I am living my dreams because I advanced confidently in the direction of them, and wouldn't stop until I achieved them.

If Hagar isn't having any luck with VH, he should get the old guys from HSAS and have a reunion! they didn't put out much material, but what they did was FIRE man! and Montrose was cool, but the later stuff that Ronny did with Gamma2 was FIRE man, especially the second album! But why does there have to be some random guy in the background for the whole interview? I mean the hotel didn't have enough people looking after security??
