BTD

Class act as ALWAYS!!
Big AL

I just read where John the guitarist from the red hot chili peppers quit the band. We might see alot more Chickenfoot in 2010 now!!!!! Sorry for the Peppers fans but I’m happy for the Chickenfoot fans!!!!!
Ryan

I’m starting to come around Sammy. I’m slowly transforming into a red-head. Thank you for taking time to give fans an update.

Nice reference to VH. The guy has class.
Big AL

Seriously! google up Red Hot chili pepper news, it says John has left the band! Just trying to help VHND with breaking news!

This is something you simply don’t find in show business! Thank you, Sammy, for being a stand up guy and showing your appreciation. Heartfelt thanks like this make ME so appreciative of what you do. You are a great entertainer, and (believe it or not) a truly inspirational businessman. Thank you!
Matty

Thanks Sam! You rock!

People of the Foot, raise your shot glasses and toast the Red Rocker!!!
Bo Sox

Sammy’s alright.
Rick Pride

Sammy I love you man!!! You are the king. Merry Christmas and my you stay young forever cause I wanna keep buying your music. Sammy Hagar Born to Rock Built to Last the man with the Golden Pipes!!!!
Jason

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, Sammy Hagar! It’s great to see that you’re so appreciative of us fans. Long live the Foot!
Dooley

62 and not slowin’ down. Sam’s an inspiration.
Top Jimmy

That was cool.

Van Halen has been and always will be my first love…but let’s compare:
Sammy’s latest showing–he’s thanking his fans, saying that without us he would have nothing.
Eddie’s latest showing–he’s bitching about fans and doesn’t want to put anything new out in fear of people complaining.
The differences here are staggering. You know, for a P.R. expert, Ed’s new bride should have coached him better on that instead of buying him new vests to wear in photo shoots. People have been complaining about Sammy since day one…do you see him taking his ball and going home? No, instead he just puts out record after record and has so much fun on stage that people *have* to at least respect his work ethic and how he treats fans, even if they don’t care for him personally or his music.
Ryan

Yeah, it’s kinda ironic. I joined this website as a die-hard Eddie fan. And now I’m slowly evolving into a Red Rocker. HAHAHAHA I CAN’t DRIVE 55 MUTHA FUCKA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob

Eddie Van Halen will always be the king, but he ought to take a few lessons from Sammy on this one. Nicely done Sammy!
Bluesbro

That guy CANNOT be 62 … just hard to believe when you look at him, and hear him. Tequila preservation?
phil

very classy! happy holidays to everyone here at the VHND! SCAR, DUCK, SKUTCH, KIMBERLY, BLUESBRO, AND SO ON AND SO ON AND SO ON…EVERYONE!
phil

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!

Happy holidays to you, Sammy and have a happy new year!!!

Sandman

SAM IS A CLASS ACT!! FRESNO LOVES YA!!
Shawn

Thanks Sammy. Merry Christmas! Thank you for always entertaining your fans!!! YOU ROCK
Panama Red

Thanks Sammy. He truly does it for the music and the fans. He just seems like such a normal down to earth guy who would be really cool to hang out and drink some tequila with. I can only imagine how fun it would be to hang out with him for a day. Or David lee Roth. Except I might not be able to figure out what David lee Roth is saying half of the time. I might have to get high first. Lol. Both would be memorable times for sure.

Thank you Sammy for saving Van Halen in 1986 and keeping them going for ten great years. Still rockin and giving us new music. Thanks for everything Sammy, mike, and Van Halen.

Thanks Sam Man ! Have a fabulous Christmas and awesome New Years. Thanks for saving Rock’n'Roll for those of us who still rock.

Gotta admit That was totally cool.

I think Sam is really good guy. He seems to appreciate the fans and stuff. I like every Sam album of VH (iffy on OU812) But I kind of think that he just used VH to promote himself in a solo career. Every picture I have seen of him onstage he is promoting cabo wabo, red rocker, can’t drive 55 and all that jazz. Like the dude, just not in VH.
Garrett

Thank you Sammy. You are truly a class act, from your heartfelt appreciation of your fans to your giving 110% of yourself 100% of the time, your philanthropy and your consistently kick ass music. I appreciate the fact that you realize exactly how shit works. You are the MAN!
jeff

Wow,
good to see some positive responses regarding Sam for once.
Happy hollidays to Sam and his family, Eddie, Dave, Alex, Mike, Wolfgang, and EVERYONE here!!
stephan chartier

Sammy you are the man thanks bro for all the great times and letting me jam with you at your Bday bash it was the highlite of my life and you made my dream come true thanks man see you soon MARRY XMAS
Scooter

Merry Christmas to you Sammy and the Hagar Family! I already know it will be a happy new year for you, so why bother saying;) Just continue to rock and loving life. You’re extreme class act and I wish all of you the very best.

P.s I’ve stocked Cabo Wabo Tequila at my Van Halen bar that I made personally myself. It’s looked so great for so many years. Thanks Again Sammy!
Robbo

“TheTruthHurts” nailed it on the head! Sammy is a class act! Both he and Mikey DO APPRECIATE THE FANS and have no problem giving us a DVD, extra stuff, great live shows, etc.
It seems the folks over at the VH camp are, how shall I put this, coddling EVH? Maybe waiting for the right time to put some stuff out whether it be a DVD, unreleased stuff, etc. But WHEN is the right time? When EVH simply cannot function anymore? Are they waiting for a BIG payday? Still waiting for new stuff and I’ll always be a fan!
Tommy Boy

Sammy has always been Sammy and Ed has always been Ed…just like you’re you and I’m me. The particulars surrounding our favorite, beloved rock ‘n roll band have been scrutinized and incessantly speculated upon (ex: daily on this site). I love VH music, all of it. Every note, lyric, drum beat and bass line. It is unfortunate that our minds cloud better judgment in the things we say and do, and some of us humans don’t truly think before we speak. Pride and ego block some of those things. Fuck…I lost my train of thought. Anyway…Thank You Sammy, Thank You Ed, Wolfgang, Alex, Dave, Mike, Gary, Joe and Chad. Good music lives on and if more is to come from Van Halen…we’ll just have to wait and see. If not, we’ve got a lot of great stuff to pick from to wile our days away with, wouldn’t you agree? Peace and Love all….
Ryan

Sammy, I am graduating in May of next year. Will you please play my graduation party? There will be lots of babes and brew.

Here are the songs I want you to play:

Three Lock Box
I Can’t Drive 55
I Don’t Need Love
Heavy Metal

Any other songs you want to play, go for it. Bring Michael, Chad, Joe, even Eddie if he isn’t busy getting married or being gay. Dude, you have to play my graduation. The Chili Peppers can’t do it because John just quit. Even if you can’t do it, thank you for being awesome!!!
D.O.A.

Skutch…..you ‘ol softy! Happy Holidays!
RA 8 1 2

Sammy:

Thank you for the holiday greetings to all of your fans. For all you’ve done musically. I have great memories playing your solo music in cover bands in the 80′s and I love what you did with VH and I’m happy to see you and Michael enjoying yourselves and playing for packed houses. If I may bring a smile to your face as you have many times to mine? If you have kids or grandkids check out my children’s book on my website http://sites.google.com/site/ljpokones/home and if you’d like a free copy to read to kids or grand kids or nephews and nieces let me know at lanceokones@yahoo.com and I’ll send you a copy. Take care, a fan always, Lance in Iowa

How cool was that? You don’t often see that kind of heartfelt sincerity and gratitude from anyone let alone a big rock star.

Sam is a living example of karma – he deserves everything he’s got yet none of it means as much to him as the love of his fans. And that’s exactly why it’s so easy to love the guy. Thank you, Sam. Happy Holidays.

so chili peppers need a guitarist?

eddie isn’t busy.
SirFrankenberry

Props to Sam.
That..to me.. seemed very well put, heartfelt and genuine.

Thanks to TheTruthHurts for turning an overwhelmingly positive thread into yet another platform to bash Ed. For a minute there, I thought VHND had some peace for a day or two. Try not to be too bitter, chief. It’s Christmas.

CLASS ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No Sammy, thank you for all of the enjoyment you have given to us! You and Mike to me are the “other half” of what made up the soundtrack to my life. Long live Van Hagar!!!!!

Sammy… We appreciate you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank YOU and Chickenfoot for the best show in years at the RnR HOF in Cleveland.

When Sammy learns to love life, he’s going to really have fun! The guy has brought endless joy to my life…played When it’s Love” at my wedding 14 years ago. Keep on rocking Sammy.
