When we were asked by the promoter to fill in for the Foo Fighters at the Beale Street Music Festival, my first reaction was 'No fucking way!' We discussed it as a band, & we came up with 'Why not! Let's just go play music and you're at a big ass Circle party for those people, just do what we do!' Then with Dave Grohl's blessings we decided to do a broken down version of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. It felt appropriate. No rehearsal, After all this is rock 'n' roll and thats what it's all about. Enjoy. - Sammy

#Flashback to 1977 at the Selland Arena in Fresno. That’s Gary Pihl in the background!

Vegas, on stage & off, it’s been Sammy Hagar & Friends — and it’s been a blast. See you this weekend as we close out the first sold-out run of my residency. Here are some of my favorite moments (so far). 1. With my buddy & fellow Libra Sting 2. Jammin’ on stage with my main Libra buddy Bobby Weir @ #thestrat 3. At Sting’s soundcheck with the bombastic Libra Shaggy. See a sign here? @ #thecolosseum at Caesars. 4. Backstage with Stephen Pearcy and Mikey after the 1st show. 5. Sammy Hagar & Friends @ #thestrat or are we in Cabo still? 6.

Claudio Zampolli was a genius mechanic. Especially Italian high-performance engines. He got me my 512 Boxer (the “I Can’t Drive 55” car), my first new Ferrari, and many more after that. He's the mechanic in the "I Can't Drive 55" video. He's the guy that gave Eddie Van Halen my phone number where Eddie called me from his shop - two days later I was in Van Halen. He was the whole band's mechanic and took care of all of our cars. He also made his own car the ultra exotic Cizeta.
