I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.

If I would have ever dreamed that I wouldn't be in Van Halen anymore and was going to have resume my solo career again, I would have never contributed anything towards my own greatest hits package.

- Sammy Hagar

In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and soul into those records. Those lyrics when I sang 'em, I gave myself goosebumps.

- Sammy Hagar

When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits package.

I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later.

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

I've never done a box set, and Eddie's full of it if he says otherwise.

Dave was great in Van Halen. No question about it. He was one of the best at being Mr. Rock Star. But it's sickening to see a guy still trying to be that with a wig on 20 years later.

- Sammy Hagar

Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.

- Sammy Hagar

All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.

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.

Overall, we had about 50 meetings where the brothers would say that I couldn't do any solo records, I couldn't write for other people, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. These guys were trying to nail my feet to the ground.

- Sammy Hagar

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.

- Sammy Hagar

It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.

- Sammy Hagar

I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.

- Sammy Hagar

I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.

- Sammy Hagar

When they brought Roth back into the picture, obviously I didn't go along with that too well.

- Sammy Hagar

Sometimes you're afraid to fall in love with a chick, but she sucks you in anyway.

- Sammy Hagar

It's a good thing I don't read everything Eddie says, or I'd be up in arms and not enjoying my life.

- Sammy Hagar

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