Sammy Hagar

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

The Red Rocker is a good example of an honest rock n' roll guy, which you just have to love. He simply goes out and plays about bikes, cars and rock 'n roll. What else? The attitude is everything:

"I’m believable in my profession and I think that is important. Also, there’s an audience for any form of truth in art of any kind."
- Sammy Hagar

As I write this, Sammy is 55. It is the same number as his old nemesis, the speed limit. Sammy just can't drive that slow! In a recent interview, a journalist noted that Sammy "has too many plans, none of which involve cashing in the 401(k) and buying a motor home". Sammy goes for rock and he is so real. From Montrose to solo to Van Halen, there has been only one way to rock:

There's so many ways to make love
A million ways to make love

But there's only one way
There's only one way to rock

And you can analyze this situation
To me it's all just mental masturbation

"Success means to me the end of a goal or an era in your life. It should allow you to see new horizons. The purpose of life is to do, feel and experience everything you can, make it a part of you. Don’t disregard anything you feel, good or bad, it’s all equally important to your soul."
- Sammy Hagar
