It was a bag of pistachios to be exact... I was holding them in one hand, and some sort of potion-like beverage in the other.
In any event, Sammy is 70+ and sill shakes all the trees for those heavenly fruits!
I always kinda thought of listening to Sammy Hagar sing as a metaphorical kick in the nuts. He kind of sounds like some one did the same to him. I
never sold a record, though.
I’ve met Sammy a few time, very nice to his fans and other artists. I like his music, I can’t drive 55 either!! Don’t like rap but don’t bash
it, just different music for different folk..and how sad is Artemis, insulting a woman’s IQ because of looks? jealousy, very shallow, poor judgment.
Sammy Hagar kicked me in the nuts when I went and saw the 5150 tour... and not in a good way. Granted, DLR is gonna be big shoes to fill, but even
when Sammy was young I wasn't buying it.
okrian, you should check out the album Montrose (the first one). At the time, Ronnie (RIP) and the band rocked harder than most other hard rock
groups of the time.
Here they are on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test, *killin'* it on Bad Motor Scooter. Sammy was just 22 (IIRC) at the time.
Agreed on Montrose. And that's a great clip. I can always appreciate rock and roll stripped down and not over-produced. And yeah, his voice sounds
great on that stuff. Thanks for this link.
I had a Cort X guitar, and was convinced Sammy played one in Three Lock Box. I was 13, and a Sammy fan from then on. And I didn't even know he was
in Montros at the time. I was easily impressed. But I still like Sammy, he rocks.

I hate to be that guy but.....it's a blatant ripoff of a old tune he did with Ronnie Montrose "I Got the Fire", at least the riff is, to my ears
anyway. If you play the two on top of each other it's literally almost note for note w/couple notes changed. Love Sammy though and glad to see
he's still kicking ass.

I'm not a Dave vs. Sammy Van Halen guy, as they both have their place, but the honest reality is the Dave over Sammy people got shell shocked by VH
having a singer rather than a front man. Before Sammy, VH had a front man who spoke instead of sang, and Michael Anthony did all the actual singing.
