My dad was a former sound engineer for Sammy through his entire solo career and 5150 with van halen.... 2 years ago his house burnt down in a wild fire and Sammy donated to help him and my mom get back on their feet!... Sammy is a honestly genuine nice guy and never forgets anybody who was in his circle and takes care of them the best he can.... Hagar and VH forever!!
What a legend
Wow 🙏💯 That’s EPIC
Ive met him twice and i diddent realize who he was the first time. Super nice guy
Sounds like your dad is a good guy too if people are good with helping him. Hope dad & mom are ok and yeah, Sammy always comes across as a a genuinely good dude.
I met him and Eddie in Cabo on Sammy’s birthday.. Sammy walked up to the bar ordered shots and asked if I would like some Cabo wabo. Started a convo about nothing. He noticed a tattoo on my arm …the only tattoo I have…it’s the VH forever logo with my flight medic wings spread out underneath..one side of the wind had firm rigid feathers…the other side has ruff, irregular, not even, irregular…he recognized the VH logo and asked about the wings…I explained and he really reacted…as we bullshitted Eddie came up and he showed my tattoo…talked it up, we drank for 15 minutes and they went on stage, it might be one of the greatest rock n roll moments in my life. I drank for free for several hours and loved it all! In contrast I was once in a traffic jam in Los Angeles and noticed a white rolls Royce in the lane next to me creeping up..closer it got I saw the women in the car and a long haired driver acting crazy…closer it got I realized it was DLR in the flesh.. as the traffic stalled along…I found my VH cassette and a pen and in a slow moment of traffic I jumped out and hollered sign my cassette! …he grabbed the pen and smiled and tried to half ass sign it….unrecognizable but to me it was EPIC….love both artists! 🃏👍🏁🎭🍿🍿🍿🍿
12 years ago my US Marine son stationed in Hawaii sends me a pic in the middle of the night. It’s him and Sammy in a bar. Seconds later the phone rings and Sammy says “Good morning dad!” We talked for about five or so minutes he’s telling me how much he appreciated my son’s service (he just got back from a tour in Afghanistan) and then the dude starts asking about the rest of my family and how they’re doing. No shit this guy’s the real deal. Really really nice.
That’s cool
No, it was the cocaine your boy was snorting with him.😂
Dude…. That’s So Dope
This entire comments is filled with ultimate Hagar experiences of just how Rad & Real That Dude is
Cool California dude.seen him màny times ,rocks the fuucking place...
Thats a great experience!!
Our family was a recipient of emergency funds from Sammy Hagar in Hawaii. We had an emergency medical flight for our daughter from Maui to Oahu. The hospital social worker gave us a $300 check to help with expenses for whatever the family needs when away from home on a different island and a card to write a thank you to Sammy Hagar. Brings tears to my eyes remembering this. So it is exactly how he tells it. Money used directly to the people in need. God Bless him and his Ohana!
300$? That's all?
@@justinkassinger8238For ONE person. He's not a Billionaire like Oprah or the Rock. At least he gives and doesn't ask the public to do it even though they own thousands of acres which could've been used to set up camps for the survivors.
What a F*ing comment.
Too bad YT censors my comments.
I'll try again.
That's $300 for ONE person. It's more than other celebrities who are Billionaires and own thousands of acres in Hawaii, but when it comes to helping the people, they ask the public, who are already going through financial problems because of the economy, to donate THEIR money instead.
What did you do? Dooshybagomus@@justinkassinger8238
Proof?
No shot this man is 75!!! looks in his 50's at best. What a legendary personality/all round great human being. 10/10 interview.
Sammy and Michael Anthony come across as some of the nicest guys in the rock business. Great Interview!
MKE IS PLATINUM
So sad that EVH had his anger issues w/ the others. Unfortunately high levels of creativity often seems to accompany loss of lack of development of other human capabilities as I have found playing with other musicians.
They had to compensate for the rest of the band
i really respect him for standing up for Michael....
They’re devil worshippers.
Sammy in VH was a beast covering the stage. Running from 1 side to the other while singing the high vocals,tons of endurance.
Except for the F.U.C.K. tour where in Vancouver after Alice in Chains wiped the stage opening for them, his voice crapped out after 3 songs and no rescheduled date or money back. I'm one of THE biggest fans, but I couldn't help but admit it was laaaaaame. I'd seen them 3 times with him before, and they were great.
Yeah.. Diamond Dave was doing literal backflips though.
Dave was on another level as far as stage performance goes . The king of entertainment. Love both eras , but there’s just something really special about the Roth era .. pure magic .. killer band either way
80s coke…not the “new” kind either
Lol that concert was in Fla ,that is a possibility but don't give coke all the credit he was in shape bk then.
I wish I could thank Sammy for everything. I saw Montrose several times in the 70's . My little brother loved him. He was killed in an accident at 41 . One of his favorite treasures was a guitar pick from Marching to Mars tour. And he loved Van Halen. Sammy is right. The 70's was the best time for concerts. I saw them all.
Proof?
Thank you Steve O, for putting this out and talking with Mr. Hagar. Just an unbelievable podcast. From Montrose to his solo albums, to Van Halen, and now today. You talked about a lot of insightful topics. He is a cool person! What a life. 5150!
I am in really bad health. So I figured even though I know Sammy won't see this, or maybe not even care. I wanted to say this to him.
Sammy, I am 43. My brother got me into Han Halen when I was about 16 so in 96. At first I heard DLR singing, and it was good. I will admit that. But then he got me into the Van Hagar songs, and man... it blew me away. Made me a huge fan. And your music has helped me a lot. I have depression, and tried to kill myself in the past a few times. But as you can see, I even failed at that, lol. But you music. It always sooths me, to my soul And I thank you so much for that. I had a triple bypass done when I was 34. I have diabetes. I am disabled, and live off of SSI. Stuck in apartments, and will never know what it is like to have my own home. But I have your music, and it helps me, if anything else it sooths me. So i wanted to say thank you one more time. Be blessed if you see this but not putting any stock into it. God Bless my friend and sorry for my rambles. Some times it is hard for me to put how I feel into words. On a side note, even at 43 and in very bad health. My wife got me a cheap guitar off Amazon, and I am going to try and learn to play it as I love music so much and always wanted to learn. If I could play even a quarter as good as you or Eddie... man that would be awesome.
Steve-o I love you too man, you crazy ass! You and the rest of Jackass has brough so much laughs into my life. Thank you!
Sammy is an absolute legend. This is one of the best podcasts!! Can you imagine interviewing Sammy Hagar??!! You just sit back and listen.
Not true. Steve-o is speaking a lot on this.
Sammy is a total Rock Star. Met him backstage and would have thought we had been friends for years. So down to earth very nice makes you feel so comfortable. The man gets it. Totally support anything he is involved with. Good interview.
Since when were total rock stars ever down to earth?
I can sit and listen to Sammy all night long. Just sounds like a truly genuine good guy. Would love to meet him one day.
My Mom just heard Steve-O's voice and asked "why are you watching Whoopi Goldberg?" 😂
This literally made me laugh out loud!! 😂😂
Hilarious.
@@mattskustomkreations70s
😅😅😅😂😅 what an insult 😅😅😂
Omg I’ll never unhear her voice - sorry Stevo!! 😂😂😂
Sammy has always come off as such a great dude.
I saw them in Cancun and Michael Anthony handed me a tequila shot. I'll never forget that day. Also, miss you.
@@TheLaw1 I would love it if Sammy handed me a shot of anything! lol. BTW, I'll be in Detroit this weekend but I hear you'll be out of town?
I take it you missed the one where he said "Fuxk you, Eddie Van Halen"?
@@philfrank5601 both Eddie and Alex said things they didn't mean about Sammy as well.
When a guy like Sammy comes across as a great dude for decades, consistently, I have to believe that what you see is what you get with Sammy Hagar.
I usually watch when Sammy's doing an interview, I've just come to realize it doesn't matter who's interviewing this man there's something about Sammy, call it what you want he has it, he pulls you in, you just want to listen to all the stories, you can't help but to like this man😉
its spelled charisma...😊
Sammy is wealthy enough to let it change him, but he chooses to be grounded and hasn't forgotten where he came from. He goes out of his way to help those who truly need it. He Knows how to let things go.
Why do people think becoming rich would change someone?
NOBODY EVER CHANGES, PERIOD. 😅😊
One of the best interviews on this podcast so far! Steveo looks like he is really enjoying it too. Bring on mire rockstars. Way more interesting than these boring hip hop / pop artists.
Well, rock guys usually understand how to play and write music. So they are smarter than pop and rap stars. In pop and rap, the brains behind the music are the producers, not the performers.
@@ryanjacobson2508 I was going to get upset about this comment but then realized I haven't been keeping up with hip hop in many years and realized you're probably right. Didn't used to be the case though.
@@ryanjacobson2508 audacious comment, i suppose. I thoroughly agree with you and your comment seems about to offend some people.
@@ryanjacobson2508 Give the veteran studio musicians and songwriters the credit as well. So many huge solo pop stars don't even have bands. Who plays lead guitar for Taylor Swift? Britany Spears? Katie Perry? Etc. Not to mention the huge boy bands.
Original groomers and sex traffickers
Sammy donated to Ranken Jordan Children's Hospital in St.Louis, he did so without any fanfare or press! St.louis loves you Sammy!!!
What a good hearted dude. There is a reason he's doing so good in life. Rock on
Sammy is not only a great musician, but great human being as well!
Between the 36 and 38 minute mark, he talks about how much he cares about his voice and it really shows. You can listen to "Bad Motor Scooter" which was recorded in 1973, and listen to a live version from last year and is voice is practically the same. It's awe inspiring!
He and Klaus from scorpions Best voices. Old school bands
Proof?
Saw a couple on the beach last week in the OC...asked what type of dog they had...the guy said a mini yorkie...it was Sammy. We talked for a bit...such a cool, genuine guy! Looks great for 75 too!
Awesome!
Totally awesome!
Did he tell you his dog is named Money after Eddie Money? Mrs. money gave it to Sammy and his wife, Kari.❤
That is cool! Didn't ask the dogs name but it was a mini yorkie!
Proof?
Give me your email and I'll send you a pic...
Amazing, once again I gotta believe that Steve-O’s body language eye contacts and listening skills combined with his kindness (from the steps I’m sure) have got to be the biggest reason why these go so well. I think the guests genuinely are having a good time and don’t feel like they are on a podcast. Also kudos to everyone else for not interrupting too much, but interjecting in the perfect moments w a quip.
@1RonBurgundy1 He is onto bigger and better things.
Fantastic show. I have to think Sammy won the genetics lottery. At 75 and still with a great voice, truly an inspiration. And such a generous guy! Giving away so much money to those who needs it. Sammy…hats off to you!
Sammy is such an inspiration. A lot of rock stars or heavy metal guys are assholes, but he's definitely not one of them. I also love that he always talks about his goosebumps in any interview. Cracks me up!
Been a fan of Sammy Hagar since the 80's and even saw Chickenfoot in Las Vegas. Absolutely amazing.
He always comes across as such a genuine guy, enjoying life and spreading joy. Love this guy!
Proof?
What a great interview. Sammy seems like a humble dude and somebody you could hang out with. My friends got mad when I was 16 for saying Van Hagar and Sammy calls it that. Good interview.
One of the greatest interviews I’ve seen on any platform. Loved it from start to finish. Thanks Steve-O and crew 😊
Genuinely inspired me today, my first time checking this show out. The frequency that Sam puts out there is the best… positive and no fluff. Thanks for one of the best interviews with him ever! Great job all.
Sammy's one of the greats; genuine guy, genuine talent.
I was always a DLR fan, but watching great interviews with Sammy over and over and over again, has really enlightened me, changed my mind about this man.
He seems like a fantastic, down to earth person, a happy person, as I get older I realize more and more exactly, how paramount that is in life!
This is a man I'd love to hang out with, have a great cigar and some fantastic Tequila with, just sipping, smoking and jawing all night long with!
Good times and good people, is what it's all ever been about!
Thanks for the vid guys!
Sammy Steve-O, you got a standing invitation any time you're in Toronto for a smoke, a drink and a chill in the Park!
For the people, by the people!
P.S. Let's shoot for a late spring, early summer or early fall, for the best weather conditions!
When he is talking about charity, food banks, and giving, he is the difference from talking the talk, and walking the walk. Love his music! Rock on Sammy!!!!🤘😎🤘
Talk about a dude that’s lived life to the fullest. Best attitude EVER! Thank you so much for this! Enjoyed every moment. 👍🏼
"Live Without a Net" is without a doubt one of the best concerts ever put to film. Sammy is an awesome dude, great musician, and inspiring speaker.
I played viewed that video so many times in the 80s and 90s ,(played along on guitar with also ) that is such a good concert video of VH , its happy ,its a party , its damn good playing and singing , Fam and friends nights enjoyed it too , pp where just a bit amazed ,that was a Cool band then !*_*) (their father Jan was still alive 1986

@@RoelCyborg no it’s a bit better
@@RoelCyborg don’t be rude sir
Our high school basketball team used to blast the Standing Hampton cassette in the locker room before games. Great memories!!!
I honestly thought he was in his late 50's/ early 60's.... I can't believe he said 75. He looks exceptional!
His age during van halen was roughly ages 38-49 (1985-1996). He definitely still looks and seems in his 50's I agree.
Love Sammy. Probably have seen him in concert more than anyone because he'll play ANYWHERE. Such a great human being. Great interview guys.
Awesome interview Steve-O. I have been a Sammy and VanHagar fan my entire life. He seems to be an absolutly genuine dude and someone more people should look up to.
Stevo, excellent podcast. I’ve been seeing Sammy Hagar shows since 19 82 and loved everyone of them. He’s got to be the most gracious rockstar in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. He’s a perfect example that nice guys don’t always finish last !
I grew-up in Etiwanda, next door to Fontana CA where Sammy grew up. He ALWAYS put on a great show when he played in SanBernardino at the Orange Pavilion …Lots of memories there.
I met Sammy Hagar twice. My cocktails were taller than him, but he was nice but really into the girls. Love the brutal honesty!
It takes time to become a fair, then good, then great interviewer. As Steve progresses through time the interviews are getting better and better. The prompt of the story and letting the person open up is the key to keep someone hooked into the event.
Thank you
Thank you Steve-O -- loved this! Hopefully Bob Weir will join you soon. I also vote for the other TOOL members to make an appearance (Adam, Danny, Justin) - cheers.
Bobby Weir is the man, man. I wish Chief smokin moccasin could be around to see it
I've always loved Sammy . He's a real badass . Great musician , great singer, great energy , down to earth and aging like no other. Rock on Sammy.
Thanks for all the great interviews over the years Steve-O! The best part of every show is you know you are going to hear things that nobody has probably heard before, people will remember things that happened first hand and share them, and then it gets locked into the record of events for posterity! Grab all these guys from the 60s, 70s and 80s, cuz once their gone, their stories and memories are lost!
That’s a great interview. Well done all round. I first heard Sammy on the ‘Footloose’ album, which was the first brand new record I bought as a kid. Fast forward to ‘88 and I bought ‘OU812’ on cassette when it came out. It was a bit confusing, as I’d bought ‘1984’ on tape earlier that same year and obviously there was a different singer. With no internet and minimal press (well, hardly anything that I saw as a 14 year old), the only info I had about Van Halen was in the liner notes and the music on the tapes. Then I worked backwards and got ‘5150’ on vinyl; then filled in the gaps by copying the DLR albums; then copied my mate’s ‘F.U.C.K’; then bought the live album, then copied ‘Balance’. My favourite songs featuring Sammy are probably ‘Mine All Mine’, ‘Cabo Wabo’, Feels So Good’, ‘When It’s Love’, ‘Love Walks In’, ‘5150’, ‘Dreams’. I finally got to see VH live on the VH3 tour with Gary Cherone in Auckland, New Zealand and I loved it.
I also first heard Sammy on Footloose soundtrack too!
@@maryellenrieger1874 Ha ha awesome! What’s your favourite song on the album? Mine was probably ‘I’m Free (Heaven Helps The Man)’. Thinking about it, this year I’ve played a couple of the ‘Footloose’ album songs on gigs: ‘Holding Out For A Hero’ in an acoustic duo and ‘Let’s Hear It For The Boy’ in a yacht rock band. Nothing to do with Sammy though. Also I remember the first time I saw the ‘Live Without A Net’ video: end of ‘89, the day our band won the school talent quest and we went back to one of the guys’ place to drink beer and watch the vid. I demanded to borrow it, then copied it to audio tape. Just re-reading my comment above, I’ve gotta apologise to VH for all the copying (or dubbing, as we called it) I did of their albums as a teenager. Rest assured I bought the CDs when I could afford it in my twenties.
@@MisterWade74 cool story! The Girl Gets Around is my favorite, followed closely by I'm Free Heaven Helps The Man
I seen the Monsters of Rock concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. I was 14 or 15 and it was friggin' awesome... Kingdome Come, Dokken, Metallica, Scorpions, and of course Van Hagar.
I was in middle school when that was announced, so the show was in the summer before my freshman year of high school, and I still kick myself for not going to it when it made a stop @ RFK, in DC. My parents were music fans, so I probably could’ve had one of them chaperone me & my friends to that show. I probably had something else going on that summer that conflicted with the date of the concert, but I can’t remember exactly what that would’ve been. Sadly, EVH died before I got to cross him off my live concert bucket list. Still not happy about that.
Proof?
I saw that show at Rice Stadium in Houston. Fkn awesome show and unbelievable to see VH during 5150 era and Metallica MOP/Justice,Scorpions /Savage. What a great time for music.
Its crazy to think Sammy was nearly 40 years old when he started in Van Halen, and nearly 50 when they disbanded.
I've been blessed to be a friend of Sammy. He's the most positive charge, I've ever gotten from anyone. He was a neighbor and the opposite of a Downer. I always got stoked to see him.
Knocking it out of the park Steve O!! Maynard and Sammy podcasts? Legendary!!
Sammy has paid his dues and lived to tell the tales. Cheers Sammy ! This interview is one of the best interviews I have ever seen with anyone.
Cheers Steve O.
What a great interview! Both Steve-O and Sammy are so genuine, and have seen so much. Both were obviously enjoying the conversation and Steve-O knows how it's done! Fantastic!!
I love Sammy. Still singing his ass off at 75. Still badass. Love him.
Absolutely fantastic interview. Sammy is correct, as a massive Van Halen fan, we have been completely pissed on. How can you ignore 4 x #1 albums in a row for fuck sake. Crazy. Great to see them finally re-release the Sammy era Van Halen albums. RIP EVH - thank you for the music.
One the absolute best free flowing organic interviews ever! This is pure Gold right here!
I stood at Giant's Stadium in the Medowlands and sang with 90 thousand people...."It's got what it takes". Great memory!!
I was at the reunion show in Moline, Illinois back in 2004! Great show!
My mom was a full time nurse and still wr had to go to the food banks. They really helpful.
Great episode. Sammy is quite the guy. Love hearing how much he loves and cares for his community.
Nothing but love for Sammy here in the San Bernardino region!
Amazing chemistry, great podcast Steve O
Sammy's been around a long time has loads of experience being a rock star and good stories to tell!
I love Sammy, his book RED was an awesome read. Can’t believe he’s 75, epic!
GREAT INTERVIEW!! Watched the ENTIRE THING!
TECH TIPS: PLEASE focus on the guests and not the microphones! Also, If you shoot in 4k you can push in without any loss when you're pushing them out at 1080p.
My first concert was Monsters of Rock at LA coliseum, 1988. Kingdom Come, Metallica, Dokken, Scorpions, and VH. Two riots. And that was the day I fell in love with Sammy and VH. (And yep, the LA show was postponed one day cause Sammy was sick.)
Great episode love Sammy. Can't believe he is 75 guy doesn't age. He got what I call Dick Clark head. "never ages" keep killing the game with the podcast.
love you sammy for your humanity, we need more people in this world like you.
Great interview!! Really enjoyed it !
I think this is the best way someone has dealt with the fanboy steve-o. For me, probably the greatest episode so far, and that is saying something!
I love Sammy! He's such a sweet man , massively into the booze industry yet totally dropping all that to sip on some water with Steveo ❤
I was not expecting to see Sammy Hagar on your podcast.
Marvelous episode. Great conversation
You're such a nice guy Steve-O! I appreciate all the things you do for people and animals. SOOO glad you got sober and ur still alive to do great things!! Happy for ya man!!
That live Balance album will always be my favorite. So underrated with songs such as Feelin, seventh seal, and not enough. Such an epic live album👍
For sure!
Love seventh seal!!!!!!!
@@staceyroberts3468 That whole live concert is on UA-cam. From the Balance tour. Recorded in Toronto. Great show. My favorite.
I*m amazed about Steve's knowledge about 70s bands ... talking about Free, BC and the Dead ... didn t expect that
What a great guy! I commend you for your work with people in need. It always seems like there is some sort of drama within Van Halen . It's always been that way. Glad to here the real story and real events. It clarifies a lot of things .great great interview. Glad you are getting a lot of big time music artists. Makes for good content .
He hit it dead on. Van Halen did piss on their fans. MANY times but, we're still here 🤟
Wazzap thanks for being an amazing example of strength. I often think of how you got clean and it gives me hope for myself. Keep on doing your thing man its awesome!
Love how he mentioned St. Louis, we go hard as hell for Sammy!
Sammy Hagar is what every alcoholic strives to achieve.
Class Act
Sammy Hagar brings back so many great memories, love all his music. Steve-O you knocked this interview out of the ball house. Thank you Sammy for all the great music, and thank you Steve-O for having the #1 podcast of all time. ( if it's not #1 - it will be )
I saw the Grateful Dead just a couple months before Garcia died. The only time I had ever seen them and it was a hot summer night. June 30 95 in 3 Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. I worked the show. 2 days of stage building, one day of production load in and of course the load out and 2 days of stage removal.
Proof?
This was GREAT. Been a fan of VH since day 1 and recently (the last couple of days) started indulging myself back into their music. Started watching some vids and just watched the Roth - Hagar history with the band. Came across this in the side panel not knowing you had a rolling podcast. Always a fan of you Steve-O and truly humbled by your Epic biography doc and your truly astonishing transformation.
This was one of the most entertaining hours I have had in a very long time. Sammy has to be the most genuine individual I have ever come across, the other comments I have read are indicative of that. A very insightful interview and truly a delight to listen to.
Thanks Steve-O, Sammy and all your crew. Man that was great.
Be well, be healthy and keep rollin'.
I am so glad you guys noticed instantly the Vinnie Paul, coincidence.
RIP Darrel and Vinnie.
My new favorite podcast from Steve-O! Maynard was awesome but what a cool dude the Red Rocker is!
I’m a fan of Sammy first heard him on our local radio station 107.7 the bone ! In the Bay Area & then I got see him perform about 4 years ago in concord California ! Cheers everyone
David Lee Roth was in Van Halen from 1972 until 1985. 1978 is when they released their first album, but they were together since 1972 playing gigs and recording demos.
It's not just the tequila money. Sammy has always been very business smart. Van Halen sold more merchandise than anybody.. coffee cups, teddy bears.. their shows basically had a vh Walmart of merch. Bit he got heavily into real-estate Years ago. Bought land and houses and waited 5 years and flipped them at triple the price. He was diversified before it became popular among Rick and rap stars ..
I saw Sammy and VH in 1992 in Little Rock, Ar (April 8 I believe) and it was phenomenal! Sammy the man!
Damn, I watch a lot of podcasts and steve-os guest are always the best surprise.
I built Sammys spa in his house on Lake Arrowhead.
Badass place.
When he said numbers of albums, they looked as if 1 million or 10 million wasnt alot. UA-cam views on a free platform is diff than finding 1mll people going out, buying a $20 record. All these influencers would be broke, if each song cost that. If they wernt free, nobody would watch. Long live the good ole days when life was good.
Yep.
dude you gotta interview jerry cantrell bro...thats gonna be EPIC
Watched every minute, as i see others have said as well, may be the best episode yet Steve O. Love the honesty of Sammy Haggar….going to watch some of his videos now.
Sammy was my first concert, and i didn't even know him.
Hagar opened for Boston in Bakersfield. I became an instant fan. What a run...
This interview is fantastic. In every way. Thank you Steve-O and team 🙏🏽
Sammy is the coolest! Great interview!! 🔥
That was one of your best interviews ever!! Thank you for the work you do!
Sammy is the man. I saw him in Montrose when they first started at the Baltimore Civic Center in Baltimore, Maryland and with Van Halen at the Capital Center in Largo, Maryland. Both were amazing shows. The man can sing!!!!!!!!
LOVED THIS!!! My mother loved Sammy! I think he reeled her in when he called us tractor pulling mf-ers at the 1st Farm Aid ❤❤❤
Great show Steve-O, I could have listened to you two talk all night!
