- 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.

Few Rockstars are humble.
And even fewer Rockstars give back.
Sammy does both.
🎉a pp❤❤🎉😮😮😮😮😮😮
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
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
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!
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 👎
Van Hagar, genuine and real.
What about Sam Halen?
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
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.
Major respect for this Man. What's not to like.
Thank You.
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 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
Sammy Hagar is the epitome of the American dream and hard work.
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!
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.
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!
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.
There is no reason not to admire this guy,he makes my❤ smile 🌹
He is my hero.
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
Sammy's awesome. So unpretentious and full of life. I hope you make it to 125 Red Rocker 🙂🎸✌️
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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
Sammy is Awesome! Keep on Rockin brother!!! Luv ya man!
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!
I like this interviewer letting Sammy talk not interrupting him like most hosts do
I’ve always loved Sammy Hagar! He’s the best!🎼
It's gonna be a really sad day when the good Lord calls Sammy home.
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
Thanks Sammy and Mike! Great Stuff!!! Sammy makes us happy every time we see him jamming live! Detroit and Vegas
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.
“Everybody can win.” Great quote.
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.
love Sammy!
This is the second Sammy Hagar interview that I’ve watched, he is cool.
Thank you Red Rocker for all you do for others you're truly one of my favorite artists
I would love to hang out with Sir Sammy....just to hear the stories....
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.
Sam's a good dude. The man is timeless and still putting out great records.
Just ordered a brand-new copy of "RED"! Thanks, Sammy for your positive outlook on life!!!
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
He is such a cool guy! Biggest heart and so genuine and generous!
If more people were like him,and you knew them,you would have a very contented life,heaven can wait,its already here
God bless you Sammy.
Sammy is the coolest dude ever 😎
outstanding interview
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👍🇦🇺
I believe Sammy is an enlightened human.
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.
Sammy is, so like able he seems like you know him listen to him speaking
I'd love to meet and have a drink with sammy and listen to him talk about his life and hard work
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.
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.
From Montrose until now he puts give in rock and rock in give. Insparational!!
When we both turn 125, let's get together for lunch!
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 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.
Sammy you look and sound so outstanding at your age…. Something I can work toward…..😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
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)
Love you Sammy saw you at the cow palace like 1985 awsome show Van Hagar Halloween if I remember correctly 🎉
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.
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.
God Bless Sammy and Mike, this is awesome, glad I stumbled on this
so much energy from Sammy it seems like he has extra batteries or something. He is inspiring
Gotta love Sammy
Reading his life story was amazing.
Maybe if everyone had his attitude there wouldn’t be as many homeless
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.
119 years 11 months 29 days, tops. Speaking only of the Sammy we see.
God I love you buddy…….. you are a unreal MAN….
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.
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!
Holy shit I can't believe he is 74 years old! Ain't no rocking chair in his future!
I will always love me some Sammy❤❤
Such a gracious humans being as well 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@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.
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.
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
$2500.00 to the food bank of every city he has ever played in. If that is true that's amazing and something I was totally unaware of.
SAMMY WHAT A GREAT GUY. TAM AUSTRALIA
Sammy u r the man and the true red rocker hope to see you soon in Philly 😊
Cool and down to Earth Smart Man !❤
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.
I love you, Sammy ❤
My favorite rockstar ever.
Like David lee Roth said! Sammy sings about love, Dave sings about ain’t talking about love ! They where in the same band but didn’t get along, Sammy said Dave is a very weird guy!
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
Sam is awesome
second time watching this outstanding
Never been a huge fan of Sammy's but I've always liked the guy lol, it's just hard not to like him.
Great interview. But am I the only one that thinks Sammy is starting to look like Mel Brooks in his old age? LOL! ANd I mean that affectionately. Mel is a genius too.
May God bless you Sammy theres nothing
like helping people in need . I hope you believe
in our Lord Jesus Christ cause besides doing
what you are for the people who need you , your
also doing it for Jesus Christ our saviour. So again
God bless you always my friend ,and great singer
and performer Rock on baby
He's truly a good man.
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
Love here from San Bernardino
MIKE GREAT INTERVIEW
