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
@ Metal mcFly (lame moniker) The fact that you actually think it's cool that you saw Raggedy Andy hairdo Sammy double-knit haggar pants says it all, 🤣🤣
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
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.
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 😂
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 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...
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
Sammy, I saw your band rock out in Denver this past year and you guys were terrific. HOWEVER, I was bummed out that you didn't play "Funky Feng Shui"! That song reminds me of the great CLASSIC rocker songs! I sure hope it's on this new album.
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!!!
I really enjoyed this interview! Sammy you really are such a talented person & singer! So glad when I started watching you & your bands videos cause by watching them I realize y’all are such a awesome band with so many great songs! Your new song Father time is so good & the video of your wife & you family & friends is so much fun to watch with so many great pictures to see! Always fan of y’all! ♥️🌟👋
That was a great interview!As famous ,talented and rich as Sammy is ..he very humble .Thank you for the generosity and passion you have towards others .Thank you for all the years of great music! I love this guy!
Sammy I think you're the greatest man ever since you come out that's a red rocker I've been big fan of yours ever since man ever since I first heard you do the greatest man You're live on stage or you're full of life and you're you're good spirit and you love your fans man and we love you
Sammy has a good and loving heart! I hope he continues to do well and is connected or connects with God before he kicks the bucket.... as God is love and has more for us after this life is done.
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??
I love Sammy, this guy knows how to make music. I’ve worked in one of his restaurants @ Reid airport. I’m still there. @ lv. Reid airport. Rock on Red rocker. SAMMY!! 🎸. Brian, guitar- Las Vegas/ Loves- SAMMY🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Sammy is an awesome human being so kind so generous. Sammy thanks for responding to my letter and thank you for the autographed pictures and guitar picks please tell your sister I said hello
@Sir C, Huh...? That doesn't make any sense at all my friend, sorry but I call BS! Even if you did 20 year in the joint back in the day you still would of heard & know at least 1 tune Sammy Hagar sings on, especially if you're 59 years old. C'mon Man let's keep it a buck here? "Bad Motor Scooter, Rock Candy, I Can't Drive 55, Heavy Metal, 3 Lock Box, Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy, Why Can't This Be Love, Best Of Both Worlds, When It's Love, Right Now, Top Of The World, etc... There's NO way in Hell, I ain't buying it but you do you. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul++

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.
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.
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.

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!!!

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!!
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.
Sammy is one hell of a human being. There’s so much more to him than just music.
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.
How Sammy views things and goes after what he wants reminds me of what Wayne Dyer wrote in his books, a quote...

Wow, what were your dreams? Why can't it work like that for people who dream of curing cancer?

Sammy’s the best! Always upbeat n happy n joyful, great musician n humanitarian! Ty for just being you!😊
Always nice to hear a positive story😊❤
Sammy is a good man,,,God bless him....
Yes indeed!!!
Once again, I'm convinced that Sammy Hagar is the coolest person on the planet.
Interesting interview! So glad to find this video again! Always fan of Sammy & his band! ♥️🌟👋
Music saved my life too! Thanks for donating to all the charities. That's so wonderful. My brother's name is Sammy. (Aliens omg!)
The Red Rocker always delivers.
What an amazing guy! Truly inspiring to see one of my childhood rock heroes turn into an amazing humanitarian. Good on you. Sammy Hagar
Saw Sammy in 76..still a class act!
I have even more respect for Sammy after watching this. Great work man! I’d love to hang out with you but I’m not sure I could keep up.😊
Best interview with Sammy, kudos.
That’s our local boy!! Fontana, San Bernardino and the whole Inland Empire loves you! You’ve made us proud!

This is one very unique individual soooo much positive energy its unbelievable just like his performances
Sammy sings better now, absolutely love the new album. Legend.
So sensible and sincere! Red Rocker👏🏻👍🏻❤️
Great insight from my icon and inspirational rocker! The one the only Sammy Hagar🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
In and out Van Halen I’ve seen him easily 20 times - ALWAYS a blast
Montrose great album. Saw him three times. First time was he opened for Van Halen in Anaheim with Sabbath and Boston
Great Great Interview!
We all love Sammy
Best at lyrics ever ❤ musician 10,000 times to zillions more for Sammy ,my opinion ,yep Montrose rocked too
On my bucket list: shake hands with Sammy and thank him.
Mine too
ha, also to collaborate on a song with him. I do have a song that came out of my love for the song "Right Now"
The band The Moody Blues said they also seen a UFO and had missing time indicating an abduction. Their music changed drastically after that.
lsd?
Moody Blues and Sammy were doing a lot of drugs in the 60's and 70's --- the UFO thing is just a crutch for acid trips
Sammy has a good and loving heart! I hope he continues to do well and is connected or connects with God before he kicks the bucket.... as God is love and has more for us after this life is done.
Sammy Hagar is such a grest person . I can tell . By all the Charity he does. I sure wish coukd could meet him
I really want to meet Sammy Hagar
Roth WAS great. Sammy STILL is.
IMHO, Sammy is a class act… Period.
Sammy is a class act. 'Nuff said!
Sammy is such a down to earth great guy obviously.
Great interview with a great person.
Sammy is one of my favorite guys and his music is great
.I feel like I'm at the beach or at a party.. when a song of his comes on time to crank it up
Sammy it makes me proud to have the same birthday as you.
October 13th, one of these days I'll make it down to Cabo Wabo for our birthday bash.
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!

I bust out Top of the Rock every now and then. Burnt that cassette up!
Class act hands down poster child for humanity
I agree! More people need to do this.
I met Sammy once at an airport, great guy.

Sammy Hagar is a legend hero a friend to many young ones who want to become what he is today a rockstar155 in the afternoon

As far as i can tell , Sammy Hagar , is a real good dude ..!!!
I love Sammy!!!
Sammy is a good human being 💯
Great insights into Sammy.

What! Wow it must have been a HUGE rock you have been living under. No offense lol.
So i guess you never heard of van halen or Eddie Van Halen?
Its ASTOUNDING THAT U KNOW WHAT YOU TUBE IS.
It's easy to forget a lame singer like Sammy but I really can't believe you never heard of Eddie Van Halen --- he was the king of guitar
