Title: What does Sammy have to say?

That's Sammy Hagar of course

General disclaimer: First let me say I do not like what I am doing.  I have tried the “quiet way”. I have tried rallying the troops. I have tried a strike. For this, I have been threatened and called various names which I shall not repeat. The forum moderator’s hands-off policy towards keeping the forum on track and topic has left me with one choice. I have a lot of free time on my hands and will continue this until further notice. If you don’t like the off-topic garbage that is being posted, please contact “computerworks” and tell him you came to read about vintage Shelbys and it’s time for some moderation.

Im really worried about Coralsnake. I think we should chip in and buy him escort service and a case of Jim Beam and tell him to take a week off.

The man with the pearly whites...Sammy Hagar!!!

The song was written after driving from Albany to Lake Placid.

He used his 512 Boxer in the video.....and his mechanic Claudio Zampoli has a cameo in the video. Claudio introduced him to Eddie Van Halen who also brought his Countach and Miura to Claudio......and then the Van Hagar era began.

And Eddie, true to form, poisoned that too.

Eddie and David met at Pasadena city college. Went to a backyard party in Pasadena in the mid 70s  a kegger party, had to pay a buck for beer and rock band. Guess who they were, you guessed it VH. Whod a thunk that rockdom was in the making. I did, Eddie would play with his teeth on a flying wing Stratocaster with fireworks erupting from its core. Pure awesomeness! ;D

Eddie started with drums and Alex with a guitar.....they switched instruments.....kinda cool.

Eddie has fought his demons throughout his life, kudos to him for hanging in there.

The band was called Mammoth 1972-74, Van Halen came a bit later.

Nobody's arguing he isn't loaded with talent. He is a miserable person. Everything in the world to be grateful for and only people he isn't horrible to is Alex and Wolfgang (or he is and they don't make it public).

Decades of idolatry, being told you are a god, the greatest, best guitarist, etc wrecks some (most) people's minds.

He is an incredible talent, but he wasn't the first and won't be the last to be wrecked beyond repair.
