- Sammy Hagar is one of the most recognized and accomplished lead singers in rock and roll history. But that alone doesn't do Sammy Hagar justice. He's an accomplished entrepreneur, a New York Times best-selling author, a TV host, and someone we can learn much from as we all strive to live our best lives.
For over four decades, Sammy Hagar has been recognized as one of rock music's most accomplished lead singers and songwriters. From breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band, Montrose to his multi-platinum solo career to his ride as the frontman of Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and his latest best-selling supergroup, The Circle, Hagar has amassed 25 Platinum albums on sales surpassing 50 million worldwide.
Along his journey, he has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems ever written with songs like "I Can't Drive 55," "Right Now," and "Why Can't This Be Love" and earned the highest respect of the music industry with a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Since launching his flagship Cabo Wabo Cantina, he’s turned a lifelong passion for great food, music, and spirits into a thriving and iconic lifestyle brand that now encompasses top-shelf labels, Cabo Wabo Tequila, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, and Santo Tequila. Never one to hit the brakes, Sammy’s also expanded his successes into publishing, TV, radio, and beyond, including five seasons of his hit TV show “Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar” and as host of “Sammy Hagar’s Top Rock Countdown,” a weekly syndicated radio show broadcast airing on 90+ US stations.
Sammy Hagar gets vulnerable during this episode sharing the obstacles he has overcome, mistakes he’s made along the way, and his keys to success for living a purposeful life.

Sammy's solo career was on the rise when he joined Van Halen and 5150 proved he was peaking. One of my first albums was Standing Hampton. I heard "I'll fall in love again" and walked to the mall and bought it for $5.99
Few Rockstars are humble.
And even fewer Rockstars give back.
Sammy does both.
🎉a pp❤❤🎉😮😮😮😮😮😮
I read Sam’s book and got lost in the sauce. It’s a great read. He’s such a good guy, with a sweet, kind heart. Love Sammy Hagar.
cool I haven't read it yet but after your comment I'm gonna look for it,been a fan since I seen him in San Jose,CA in 79 all great shows I've lost count in the 80s he was always playing in the bay area
I've been a huge fan of the RedRocker for over 40 years, the more I learn about him just makes love him even more. A hell of a man with a big heart that has grasped the essence of life .
He is such an awesome person 55 first time seeing this interview can I have a mutual friend with him and I wrote Samuel Sammy a letter LG responded back and sent me a bunch of autographed pictures and a bunch of guitar picks from this time in Van Halen iChickenfoot and the circle
Sammy is the coolest 😎 Everyone needs to have his lust for life whether they're 24 or 74. Love this dude 👏
Great Comment!🤛👍
Perfect reply Brutha!
He's got an excellent wife by his side; that is the difference!
@@JohnDavid888 whatever dude 👎
Saw a guy and gal at the beach in the OC recently with their small dog. Asked what type of dog it was...he said a mini yorkie. Looked like Sammy...I said "you don't sing a little do you?"...he chuckled and said yes. We chatted a bit...shook his hand and told him I've really enjoyed his music over the years. Very nice, down to earth guy...looks great for 75 also!
One of the last questions was about the measure of a good life. Sammy and his music from his solo career, and for me it started with Standing Hampton (hands down, my all time go to album) then discovering his whole career pre and post SH. Icing on the cake is Van Hagar for all this. Sammy, you made a positive difference in my life. You gave me a soundtrack for those magical experiences of my teen years and beyond. I am indebted to you for that. To have seen through the years that you are one he'll of a great guy and a real person is profound. Thank you Sammy! And as jnportantly, thank you for all the respect you have shown for your friend, Michael Anthony. He is pure platinum! Thank you for you esteemed and decorated service to both of you veterans, Sammy and Mike Sarraille! (11 years in the army here, finishing in Iraq in 04 on a 4man special ops team operating out of Samarra). Thanks Mike for the interview. It is very appreciated!
I admire and respect Sammy . Lately I've been listening to the Sammy era with Van Halen. Yes I'm also a fan of the Roth era yet I feel Sammy's era he took Van Halen took to the next level ..
The two songs from the Sammy era that I've been hooked on is Right Now & Dreams can't seem to get enough
You should give a listen to "Don't Tell Me "( what love can do) off the Balance Album.
Humans being is great also and poundcake
Some people think they have to disrespect Sammy era Van Halen to make Roth look good but I love both and without Sammy Van Halen wouldn't have songs like Dreams, 5150, Best of both worlds, Can't stop loving you, Pound cake , they cut so many great tracks with Sammy those songs speak for themselves
Van Hagar, genuine and real.
What about Sam Halen?
Sammy dedicated a song to a Cabo resident who frequented his club and restaurant. His wife was there at Cabo Wabo that night and it elevated her heart. She and her husband are/were big fans, even named their “club” on their compound at the beach “Club 805”. Sammy is maybe the most real person in the music world.
It's always great to hear from Sammy. However, the interviewer should not have so many dry spots and should make it seem like he's talking with an old friend.
Agreed, Sammy laughing and tells a great story.. interviewer next question... the interviewer dors keep quiet and not interrupt though huge props for that.
I have always been a Sammy fan...always. it warms myheart to hear about his charitable efforts. God will not forget you Sammy. Bless you and your family.
He doesn't believe in God
He's pretty amazing , esp considering his rough childhood . He could easily have ended up in a tent in Venice Beach. Like Sammy , I also had a severe alcoholic parent , I know how that is; and my other parent left when I was only four. It affects the brain you end up with PTSD. So it's amazing , that he's so high achieving. I also respect him for speaking up about his UFO communications. Not many have the courage.
I have been a Sammy fan since his Montrose days. I love Sammy. He has made a major impact in the Rock n Roll world. He seems like a very caring, intelligent guy. He is my favorite all time musician ever!
What an awesome, amazing dude! I love Sam. Van Halen was at its absolute best with him. Sorry DLR fans. God Bless you Sam! What a genuine, generous heart of gold. You reap what you sow guys! That’s why Sam has been blessed so richly!
Sammy - 'what can i do to help?' brilliant. Mike seems momentarily speechless a couple of times by Sammy's real, honest, direct answers. lol. ty 4 interview boys
Major respect for this Man. What's not to like.
Thank You.
Sammy's music was a huge influence for me as a teen. I also grew up poor after my dad died when I was 10. I learned failure wasn't an option. So, I learned a work ethic .
you can learn a lot from this guy man...biggest thing i learned was to believe in yourself, i think self-doubt is what made most people fail, along with lack of hard work.
Sammy just a regular dude. Read his book. Loved it. This guy is so grounded. So humble. So talented. He is all about enjoying his craft. His music. People like Sammy help make the world more humane.
Sammy's awesome. So unpretentious and full of life. I hope you make it to 125 Red Rocker 🙂🎸✌️
Sammy Hagar is the epitome of the American dream and hard work.
There is no reason not to admire this guy,he makes my❤ smile 🌹
Sammy is guided by his Intuition, which is the voice of God, talking in your ear. Sammy Hagar had a long road to the top. It wasn't easy. But he learned and grew into a solid man.
This is my first time seeing this video and I have to say I have a mutual friend with Sammy Hagar I gave you the opportunity to write a letter he was so kind to respond to me personally sent me a bunch of autographed pictures and a bunch of guitar picks. That was so kind and generous of him
Carnal and RHRN tours in early 90’s were epic. Best live rock band ever. 4 guys doing what they were born to do. Still listen everyday. Need to get back to Cabo!
Been a fan since Montrose! And I actually like the guy, what I know of him. I'm glad you made it out. I know all about poor and not everyone gets that break. See many everyday that appear to have given up. Funny seems I've heard about 4 musicians who stole there first guitars. But bro 125? I can't imagine wanting to live 65 more yrs in this body.
I would love to be able to go to a concert and watch him but I’d be wanting to go out there because I’m done with this Indiana weather cold and humidity is old and tough on the body for sure. But thank you Sammy for all the awesome music and hopefully I’ll be blessed to see you in concert at the cobo
@11:45 "The Bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar". Bowie, Spiders from Mars.
EDit: Mike Sarraille @50:51 (reverse of VH brand 5150) says "you mentioned you are a friend of WARREN Buffett". He meant to say Jimmy Buffett. Funny Freudian slip.
I would love to meet Sammy some day, perhaps down in Cabo SL, very cool guy.
Sammy is Awesome! Keep on Rockin brother!!! Luv ya man!
He is my hero.
The 2 things I remember from Sammys book was when his mom left his dad.
They went by the house and it was mostly burned out but they looked in the broken window and his dad was sitting on a box.
And then the 2nd was when his dad died in the back of a cop car.
But he overcame that. There's also a picture of him getting married in 1968. And he's looking great 54 years later. I was born in 1966 so I know how long ago that was.
Thanks Sammy and Mike! Great Stuff!!! Sammy makes us happy every time we see him jamming live! Detroit and Vegas
The trouble with never has A-line. "When was the last time you did something for the first time" from a different kind of truth by van halen. Maybe it's a coincidence. I love Sammy Hagar. He's an awesome guy.
I like this interviewer letting Sammy talk not interrupting him like most hosts do
Great question. I am a singer and learning he is having vox probs...Makes me feel like helping others...Your vox box is your communication. And taking care of it is MOST important. Love Yourself and your ears.
I’ve always loved Sammy Hagar! He’s the best!🎼
G'day Sammy, l had a similar up bringing and listening and watching you talk and your music has taught me alot. I love your gratitude and your attitude, thanks Man👍🇦🇺
God Bless Sammy and Mike, this is awesome, glad I stumbled on this
“Everybody can win.” Great quote.
Sammy has been blessed by God with incredible talent and with success and in so many other ways! I pray he is at peace with God and that sharing his fortune with others shows them what love is all about.
Sam's a good dude. The man is timeless and still putting out great records.
Thank you Red Rocker for all you do for others you're truly one of my favorite artists
A good friend of mine bartends at Myrtle Beach. Sammy came in because he was playing HOB the next night. My friend said he couldnt have been nicer and more down to earth.
It must be nice having more money than you can ever spend unfortunately I can't pay the rent and I lost my job because I couldn't afford to drive to work. Love you Sammy have been watching you for my whole lifetime. Im 44 from St Louis I'm a KSHE 95 listener and I love my city keep up the good work!
I love listening to Sammy talk and tell stories. I always have. My first time seeing this interviewer. Was there a delay of some kind between Sammy and him? He kept trying to ask the next question before Sammy was finished talking. Started to drive me a little crazy.
From Montrose until now he puts give in rock and rock in give. Insparational!!
Reading his life story was amazing.
I wish he would help me get started doing my passion and that’s music and I have had it since I was 4 years old and I saw Elvis on tv and I have had the bug ever since and I could play anything but I got a flu shot when I was 35 and it disabled me with GBS and I had to learn to walk by myself and even right. But I did it and I didn’t lose my voice and it is like a big deal to me and every time I get a sinus infection and lose my voice it’s depressing because its all I’ve got. But I’m 54 now and I don’t know if it’s possible to even get any where at my age and being disabled. But I’ve always wanted to move to a warm climate and low humidity so I can sing like I used to and I would provide for me and my wife but I would also build homeless shelters for families and men and women. And for our veterans. But they would have security for all because its to help people get on their feet not to free loaders Sammy would be proud because I finally played guitar again and both hands worked and I played rock candy all the way threw but I had to be listening to it and I played rythum not lead but dam it’s been years since I’ve been able to play anything because of my nerve damage I cried like a baby but it was tears of joy and thanks to God for blessing me with that I am still realing from it and it’s been a few weeks ago lol 😂
I would love to hang out with Sir Sammy....just to hear the stories....
love Sammy!
This is the second Sammy Hagar interview that I’ve watched, he is cool.
This man is totally amazing!!! Big heart has done so much for people who need help
Give to love! Love you Sammy
I can't say enough good things about this man. He has such an amazing heart. Love you sammy
Montrose with Sammy opening for Aerosmith was my first concert back in '77.
I had no idea who "Red is a Motherfucker" person was that fans were waving these signs. I just assumed the singer running around the stage was Montrose!
His book is a must read if you like rock.
Learn to read, it will be worth it.
I wasn't a big fan of Van Hagar, but I am a big fan of Sammy Hagar the man. He is just a great guy.
It's gonna be a really sad day when the good Lord calls Sammy home.
Such a gracious humans being as well 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
so much energy from Sammy it seems like he has extra batteries or something. He is inspiring
Just ordered a brand-new copy of "RED"! Thanks, Sammy for your positive outlook on life!!!
Lovin' Sammy , love what he's doing, everything he's experiencing is in the Bible, giving back, getting a great feeling doing it. Caring about others. Sammy, Read the Gospel of John, it'll show you clearly who God is. Actually in the first verse of chapter one.
Sammy is the coolest dude ever 😎
If more people were like him,and you knew them,you would have a very contented life,heaven can wait,its already here
He is such a cool guy! Biggest heart and so genuine and generous!
For anyone still trying to decide on who the greatest Van Halen front man was: please paste a link below on the interview that David Lee Roth goes into depth about the ways he helps others. I’ll wait (pun intended)
Sammy Hagar did you write what is still my all time favorite song (Connection) good life for a good man say hay Sammy thank you
Saw him with Montrose mid 70s. What a throat.
Love you Sammy saw you at the cow palace like 1985 awsome show Van Hagar Halloween if I remember correctly 🎉
God bless you Sammy.
outstanding interview
I Totally agree with Sammy about keeping the vision inside and not explaining. It's not what you say it's what ya do.
Sammy is, so like able he seems like you know him listen to him speaking
Sammy u r the man and the true red rocker hope to see you soon in Philly 😊
I believe Sammy is an enlightened human.
If I had the chance to work for anyone in the business it would be Sammy he is the coolest guy in rock n roll and at this age still has it can't say that about Dave
Sammy you look and sound so outstanding at your age…. Something I can work toward…..😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Sammy is a really inspirational person. He’s proof that cream always rises to the top. He’s had adversities in his life that made him resort to BOTH ‘the easy way’ (i.e. stealing) and ‘the hard way’ (i.e. hard WORK). What separates Sammy from other people is that he recognized and feels guilt for the stuff he did ‘the easy way’ and he embraces his hard work - and he uses that work to give and give and give.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: 40 years ago we didn’t know ANYTHING about the artists we heard on the radio (for those of us who are on the younger side - google what radio was ;) all we knew were the songs and whatever there was in a liner note or in a magazine (which was probably just a fabrication to sell magazines. Now that we have access to all this information it is amazing to learn all these intricate details. It has changed my esteem for people. Sammy is one of those artists.
Thank you for posting this interview!
I'd love to meet and have a drink with sammy and listen to him talk about his life and hard work
Sammy is a great inspiration a list!!
Gotta love Sammy
He's truly a good man.
Sammy is amazing
Love ya Sammy . Such a badass.
Amazing man. I would love to party with him.
Sammy knows how to live!
When we both turn 125, let's get together for lunch!
God I love you buddy…….. you are a unreal MAN….
Never been a huge fan of Sammy's but I've always liked the guy lol, it's just hard not to like him.
I love sammy. He's so the man
I will always love me some Sammy❤❤
hows he seem so young?
God bless Sammy Hagar. 💀🔥🎸
Enjoyed your interview! So interesting information about you! ♥️🌟👋
He mentioned in the video that he was thinking of taking vocal lessons with a vocal coach, to find out if he was doing anything wrong that caused him to run into issues on tour in the cold weather. He would probably be better off seeing an ENT than a vocal coach, because if he went this long without any vocal issues, I doubt he is doing anything wrong with his vocal technique.
Best in the Rock and roll business!
The one thing I do know about Sammy Hagar it is that he created a good legacy not just for himself but his family and his kids for when I get older maybe they might want to take things over when he's not around no more or what he can't do it anymore I don't see that happening anytime soon
SAMMY WHAT A GREAT GUY. TAM AUSTRALIA
I not sure what year it was but SAMMY played the cowpalace in SF after Led Zeppelin broke up and the death of John Bonham SAMMY ROCKED
"WHOLE LOTTA LOVE" as a tribute to Led Zepplin and OH FUCK it KICKED ASS ,wow I didn't realize it before posting but I have a photo of Sammy and Gary Phil from that SF show I think my high school science teacher drove us there we bought the ticket he drove he had his joint and bottle of Jack he took a seat and all my friends went to the floor and up to the stage ,not a word was said at school we all got home safe that's a true story MILPITAS HIGH SCHOOL '83
great hs memories
Why I retired at 62. Now all I do is fuck with my guitars and play. I'm a old bad ass. Wanna play with me Sammy.
Cool and down to Earth Smart Man !❤
Holy shit I can't believe he is 74 years old! Ain't no rocking chair in his future!
