Hagar Predictably Runs His Boorish Yap In Revisionist History Memoir, 'Red'

[FORD]

"Hits" are overrated anyway. I mean, are there any REAL Van Halen fans out there who actually think "Jump" was a better song than "Unchained"?

[ELVIS]

So you've finally came out of the closet?

Has the Church and it's followers abandoned you?

No, I'm one of the minority straight guys...

I never liked Jump. I love Unchained. I actually think Jump is one of Van Halen's worst song but that was their big Top 40 hit.

Do you even attempt to look at what thread you are posting in anymore?

Nope. I just go on drunken rants.

sammy can talk all he wants about eddie vanhalen and dave.

The truth is that sammy got lucky as hell to be where he is at today and he got there holding onto eddie vanhalens beltloop.
Eddie is a national treasure, Dave is a self made rock and roll God.

sammy is just an fat,ugly piece of shit. those are my old ladies words, not mine. she said he looks like a retard.

Ed is now considered an American icon by The Smithsonian. 30 years from now Ed will be on the list of guitar icons. Sammy will be long forgotten and the Cabo Wabo will be closed and gone.

terry, it would be my doobiest honor to purchase you an adult beverage of your choice someday

All I can say is should the lot of us here meet down the line for a few drinks...bring plenty of bail money.

See, here's the thing: Eddie Van Halen is an alcoholic. Dave imho left the band because Eddie was an alcoholic. In all the time he was gone, Dave basically had statements about Eddie's attitude, like, "it is really dark up there on howdy doody mountain". He never said he hated Eddie as a person, or made fun of his humanity. He genuinely likes Eddie and has admiration for him as far as I can tell. He wrote a song about it "Damn Good". He constantly pushed the BAND Van Halen, even when not in the line up.

Ched Head on the other hand, does not say "I saw Eddie looking terrible, I asked if he would like to see my Doctor who I trust", instead he makes fun of him. He uses Van Halen for all the money girls and fame he can get, then goes back to being a solo artist. Eddie was right to tell him to go to hell, he only used Eddie for a ride; Dave always wanted to be in the Band. Spammy, as opposed to Dave, writes a song where he portrays Eddie as a monkey playing a guitar.

Between the two attitude types, I certainly know which one I would want to be in a band with:

Dave, somewhat patient and Zen, or The Well Fed Rocker, who doesn't even say thanks for the Cheetos.

The truth is in the telling: Spam brags about his ability to be a billionaire, Dave gets his EMT certificate and works as one. Dave gets his Helicopter License, Spam drinks Tequila.

Good riddence to bad rubbish.

Great post. Nailed it right on the head.

Is it just me but....the older I get the more annoyed I am by this guy.

Seems he has a compulsive need to get his side of the story out every time he speaks.......has he done an interview [since joining Van Hagar] where he doesn't mention VH or Dave in a negative light.

The guy would be a B-list rock star at best had he not joined VH......he should be kissing their asses at every opportunity, like bassplayer usually does.

Would the guy ever have gotten in the Hall of Lame as a solo "artist"?

Sammy has always felt insecure about his place in VH's history. No more so than now as his worst nightmare has come true. His final tour with VH was a disaster, Dave returns for a critically acclaimed tour played to packed houses and now a rehabilitated EVH is recording a new VH album with Dave.

Nothing wrong with Jump. Pop/hard rock at its best. A timeless melody, cool lyrics and a great video. Aspects which EVH, AVH and MA tried to replicate with Sammy to the point where they forgot what they were really about - and failed. The trick for CVH was to write great pop but not over do it.

[Cato]

Sammy Hagar is just an American local singer. He has no worldwide popularity.

period.

[ashstralia]

is it true you have undie vending machines?

[VanHalener]

I wonder who Sammy was fucking in the sex tent. Mike?

I failed to mention that not only does he travel with his own Mexican donkey, but Spammy is what we call around these parts a Gerbil Pusher who never leaves home without one.


There is a sign at the door to remind him about cuts and scratches

Read the thread... Don't seem like Main material.

No big revalation that Ed was a fuckin mess during the porn/House of Petals era. Remeber the 2 Dorks radio guys that were callin him at 4am and the drunken bullshit Ed was spewing. Hagar comes along 6-8 years later and spews what most already knew... yawn. Ain't worth the anger to give a flyin fuck what that insecure bastard has to say...

Just thankful the Van Halen's got no use for the jackass...

[kwame k]

It dawned on me today when reading the Thread title.....

Sammy Hagar burns bridges in his uncensored memoir, "Red".

With the way Ed holds a grudge.......this book just guarantees that The Red Cocker will be dead by the time Ed comes around and makes him a brother again.

So I guess Spammy was useful after all.
