Sammy Hagar

It has become a rite of passage for rock fans visiting Atlantic City to get trashed at Sammy Hagar's Beach Bar & Grill. However, Mother Nature has enacted its own form of revenge, as Hurricane Sandy has wreaked considerable damage to the beachfront party spot.

The great thing about making a solid living in music and entertainment is the ability it gives you to live near people doing the same thing. Though their styles may be different, Grateful Dead‘s Bob Weir can look down the street and occasionally catch sight of the “Red Rocker” himself, Sammy Hagar.

When you crawl inside the inner workings of Chickenfoot, you learn the band uses some pretty interesting methods to write songs. Guitarist Joe Satriani, for example, names his guitar riffs, and his title for the first single from the band’s most recent album ‘III’ wound up sticking for good.

To say things between Van Halen and former members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony are strained is maybe a bit of an understatement. But despite the tensions there still a lot of love there for what the current Chickenfoot members did with their former band.

If Sammy Hagar‘s latest plan comes true — and most of them do — fans of the Red Rocker will be treated to a tour touching on nearly every phase of his four-decade recording career next summer.

Sammy Hagar knows how to throw a party — and for more than 20 years now, he’s been using his birthday as a great excuse to throw an unforgettable annual rager at the Cabo Wabo Cantina. He’ll follow tradition this fall with a four-night stand that kicks off October 7.

Sammy Hagar has spoken out, this time at more length, about Ronnie Montrose, who died on Saturday, March 3, at the age of 64. Hagar had issued a statement immediately following the news that his former bandmate had passed away, but expounded on his thoughts and feelings a few days later.

When the new Cigar & Spirits Magazine decided to profile a celebrity for their tequila issue, they needed to look no further than the man who made, “Mas Tequila” a household term, Sammy Hagar. The Red Rocker appears on the magazine’s cover, which should be hitting newsstands nationwide soon.

Michael Anthony‘s backing vocals were secretly almost as important to the success of Van Halen as Eddie’s shredding, but former frontman Sammy Hagar says his bass playing skills were never fully utilized. So, in preparing to record the first Chickenfoot album, he and Anthony decided not to repeat that mistake.

With Chickenfoot in the midst of a brief overseas tour, the members of the band have been hitting the promotional trail, doing rounds of interviews in support of their latest release, ‘Chickenfoot III.’ And you know what that means: plenty of questions about the new Van Halen record. Chickenfoot singer (and ex-VH vocalist) Sammy Hagar has never been shy about expressing his opinions when it comes

Sammy Hagar has heard ‘Tattoo,’ the first Van Halen song with David Lee Roth in over 15 years, and he doesn’t seem all that impressed. During an interview with Cack Blabbath, the one-time VH frontman continues to give honest answers to questions about the band’s reunion with Roth, even if it means widening the chasm between him and his former bandmates.

Sammy Hagar is back in the booze business. Four years after selling off the majority of his Cabo Wabo Tequila company, the Chickenfoot/former Van Halen singer was at the Hard Rock Honolulu in Hawaii last week to promote his new spirit line, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum.
