“In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and…” — Sammy Hagar

I'm still raising kids myself, so I don't feel like a grandpa.

I'm John Lee Hooker in the sense that he was a blues man and he played blues his whole life. I'm a rock guy and I'm going to play rock music my whole life.

When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.

If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.
