Duck Dunn, Donna Summer... here's praying that Hagar is #3 this time.

It's like, Hagar has nothing else to talk about anymore unless it's about Van Halen...either that, or I'm just getting that impression since all I ever read are the excerpts quoted in threads on this site.By Associated Press, Updated: Friday, May 18, 6:32 PM
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Sammy Hagar
says he’s not surprised the Van Halen tour with David Lee Roth seems to be crumbling.
He’s only surprised it took this long. The band postponed dozens of concerts that had been scheduled for this summer, without giving a reason.
But Hagar, who had replaced Roth in the band and fronted Van Halen for more than a decade, thinks he knows why.
He says brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen are hard to get along with. If they weren’t, Hagar says, he’d still be in the band.
Hagar made the comments in response to a question from The Associated Press on Friday in Atlantic City, where he donated $10,000 to a church food pantry before a concert with his current band, Chickenfoot.

I mean, fair enough that Roth also talked about Van Halen in interviews after he left the band, but Roth was also capable of talking about a wide range of subjects besides Van Halen...with an ample sense of humor, to boot.
It's just curious as to why Hagar needs to comment on Van Halen at all anymore: he's not in the band. As a matter of fact, he's in another band.
I guess Chickenfoot just aren't worth talking about...even for people in the band. Or at least nothing said about Chickenfoot is worth highlighting far as rock media goes.
Honestly, I doubt Hagar has a fucking clue what's going on in Van Halen anymore. Nor does Mike Anthony. All they think they know is based on their last experiences in the band on that shitty 2004 tour. Well, that's not where the band is at today. Hagar just fucking wishes that the tour break is going to boil down to problems between Roth and the rest of the band, with the result that Roth will leave (again) and Hagar can get back into Van Halen (again), so maybe Hagar can play larger crowds than Chickenfoot is now.
Funny thing is that the current members of Van Halen have nada to say about Hagar or Anthony these days. Indeed. Why bother? Ain't nuttin' TO say. Every time Hagar and Anthony talk about the current state of Van Halen, it's like watching them fumble around at the RnRHoF in 2007 all over again: two putzes not even in the group anymore, trying to step into someone else's spotlight instead of generating their own attention the legit way based on what they're doing musically right now.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

My first post,i'm honored to be here. I must say that Dave is the best rock lyricist ever! Sammy must feel
like such a fucking dipshit looking at his Vh lyric sheets. Fuck you Sammy, you fat jealous cocksucker.Comment

Sammy's comments prove that deep down he is a bitter, jealous, classless asshole. He could've said "hope those guys are doing alright and figure it out" but no...he makes a cheap shot about a bet. What a fuckin ass-clown.Comment

So is it true that Ed referred to Sammy as "The Snake" in an interview???

Funny comments...
Sammy says "Ed is a noodler?" What a fucking loser.....I'd say the way he talks about Mikey is more insulting then just getting the cold shoulder from Van Halen, Sammy talks about Mikey like he's some 5 year old retarded kid in a wheel chair that's just doing the best he can! oh its so cute look at him go!Comment

Its particularly classless becuase Sammy has zero connection w what goes on in VH. He had zero idea. What if it was a serious health issue, or something wrong with Wolfie, or whatever. Even as a bitter ex who wants to inflate their significance this was out of line.
Also he had issues w Roth before he ever was in VH calling faggot. His claim to fame is being that faggots substitute in the band the faggot himself named. Shameful for him to use that word as well considering he has roots in the bay area, way to respect your community. Classless from begining to end.Comment

A lot of people at the Links are criticizing Hagar's latest comments and are as profane if not moreso than people here about him. You know it's bad when even people at that site are tired of him.
As far as the tequila thing, how does the story go...that he got Ed and Al to invest money into his business in the late '80s, it tanked at first, Hagar bought them out for a fraction of what they invested, and then not long afterwards the business took off? I don't know how you can trust someone like that.Comment
I took it as just him knowing about the shit-talking nature but everything's open to interpretation.
