Sammy Hagar on “If” and “When” a Van Halen Reunion Happens

In a recent interview with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Sammy Hagar was asked the inevitable question about what he feels about the possibility of a reunion with his old Van Halen bandmates:

One subject Hagar is not comfortable talking about is Van Halen. When asked what he would do if the group called him to come back, he said he wasn’t sure.

“My favorite thing to say without biting my own tongue is no comment,” Hagar said. “Every time I turned around, it was a no-win situation. If I say what I feel … I would always get 50 percent of the Van Halen fans saying, ‘Right on, you rule.’ Then the haters would dog me like, ‘You’re always dogging Van Halen.’ I’m going to shut up. They get their wish. We’ll see what happens when it happens — if it happens.”
