Sammy Hagar, popular in the early- mid 1980’s for fast paced, guitar-driven, hard pop-rock with a masculine, lets-go-party attitude, joined the band Van Halen as lead vocalist after David Lee Roth’s departure from the group. (Before joining Van Halen he sang lead vocals in Ronnie Montrose’s classic rock band Montrose.) As much as it was public surprise when Hagar joined the band, so it was when he left. Sammy Hagar now peddles his own line of high-quality “Cabo Wabo” tequila. In the Spring of 2007, Hagar sold his stake in Cabo Wabo tequila to an Italian beverage company for a reported $80 million.

Hagar, now a sort of modern-day Jimmy Buffett, has earned his place in rock n roll history as one of pop-hard-rock’s premier front men who not only has an ample, strong, belting vocal range with soulful melody and tone, but his duality as a formidable lead guitarist and guitar-riff-monger puts him in a league shared with few others in terms of versatility and overall right to rock.

He now tours with Mike Anthony, former bassist for Van Halen.

He resides with his family in Mill Valley, CA.

Hagar is currently in a band called “Chickenfoot” with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. Their self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim

Sammy Hagar is also known as the Red Rocker, due to the fact he almost always wears red shirts or plays a red guitar, or more likely that he has red hair?

    I saw Sammy in Garden Grove, CA and he rocked the house. Probably one of the best shows I've ever been too. And I've been to a lot.

    Shame Sammys album TEN13 does't get the credit that it deserves. My alltime favorite from him.

    One of my favorite ROCK singers. This guy still sounds awesome even at his current age. I hope this guy keeps making music til he can't sing at all anymore. He is what rock is all about in my opinion.
