Sammy is the best. A humble guy who’s very philanthropic. Red Rocker, rock on! 🤘🏻 🚫55!
Sammy is the best role model. If kids grew up trying to be like him, instead of some of the characters that are popular today, the world would be such a better place. Sammy Hagar is the definition of a life worth living. And he is so much fun to see live!

Sammy is so very accomplished/blessed. Wow. Cabo is on My Bucket list, probably the only thing. Just think, a Yooper in Cabo.

Great interview. Sammy has always been my favorite musician since I was little.

Seriously?
Best interview EVER! I have been a true loyal fan of Sammy since I was in Jr. High School. Loved Three Lock Box & 55, then when he joined VH, we got to see a lot more of him. Everything he does and the impact it has on a community is humbling. He is a wonderful human that happens to be one of the greatest rock stars of all time. His one of a kind voice gives me chills. I couldn't imagine loving him any more, but after this interview....I really do. Thank you! ❤😊
Have been a lifelong fan of Sammy's! He literally took VH out of the stone age, period! Had the gift of personally watching his sound check in Toronto and then meeting him right after and all I can say to you all is that Sammy is the real deal! Humble, generous, larger than life whilst tirelessly working towards self-improvement! He will always be my role model! I love you Sammy! Thank you for building the soundtrack of my life!
I'm an outright fanatic!!!😮❤
I love Sammy he is one really good guy
Not to sound my age but discovered Sammy with Montrose bin jamming with the man ever since 🎉

That song took a hammer to the communist nuts. Literally changed history. He is an American hero.
Such a positive attitude always! The number one reason why I listen to Sammy since early 80s. God Bless you and your family Sammy!🎸
Is that Les Nesman in the background with the pink lanyard ?
What a beautiful evolution of character based on his own full circle of life experiences. Wow. I also loved the interview where he mentioned a major blow out regarding Eddie leaning hard on him when he was hitting the bottle really hard and was applying maximum pressure on him to come focus on the band when he had just gotten married and he stood up for himself and his new marriage and refused. He had his priorities straight and told them to F off.
Why are those two guys standing in the back staring at Sammy doing an interview? Weird.

Except greedy N.J. where i grew up and it was $8 when i was in high school late 70's.We would go fishing and then hide our poles and walk to the swimming side to meet girls LOL
Sammy Hagar is exceptionally talented in both music and entrepreneurial fields but i think it odd that someone whose father was an alcoholic would have their own tequila brand.
😃🤘🦁
Sammy is a class act. On and of the stage. Good interview. Was and still is a rocker
I want my beach ball.
i'm tired
I will look out for north american people
Montrose was never ever the premier heavy metal band in America!
Sammy and his sunglasses🤣
“What does the beach represent to you?” Are you fucking kidding? OUT!
gee Sammy who didnt go to the beach and sleep in thier car🤣
Sammy can’t get over he was in VH, he was so much better as a solo artist, turned in a dork when he joined VH
I love Sammy but WHO THE F**K IS THAT DUDE IN THE BACK??? Am I the only one wondering who that guy is and what he's doing back there???😂 It's a tad creepy!! 😮😂😂😂😂
Sammy of the best!
Montrose is not that great. I love Sammy but he is delusional.
