    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.
