Loud rock, fast cars, and Cabo.
This is the life of Sammy Hagar.
For almost forty years, Sammy Hagar has been a fixture in rock music.
From breaking into the industry with the band Montrose to his multiplatinum
solo career to his ride as the front man of Van Halen, Sammy's powerful and
unforgettable voice has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems
ever written.songs like "I Can't Drive 55," "Right Now," and "Why Can't
This Be Love."
In Red, Sammy tells the outrageous story of his tear through rock 'n' roll,
detailing the backstage antics and nonstop touring that have made his voice
instantly recognizable. Beginning with his musical coming-of-age in the blue-
collar towns of California, Sammy traces his rough and determined rise
to fame, working harder than anyone else out there and writing songs about
the things he loved.fast cars, loud parties, and lots of good times.
But solo success was just the start, a prelude to his raucous and notorious
decade as the front man for Van Halen, one of the biggest-selling rock groups
in history. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories from his time with the band,
Red offers the Van Halen story as Sammy saw it, holding nothing back about
the worldwide stadium tours, the tensions with Eddie, the messy parties, the
divided friendships, and, of course, his controversial and widely disputed
exit from the band.
After Van Halen, Sammy changed directions again, throwing himself headfirst
into the tequila business and creating Cabo Wabo, one of the most successful
tequila brands in the world. And all the while he continued to rock, touring
the country with his bands the Waboritas and Chickenfoot, and eventually
reuniting with Van Halen for a tour that became both a box-office smash and
a personal catastrophe.
From the decadence of being one of the world's biggest rock stars to the
unfiltered story of being forced out of Van Halen, Sammy's account spares
no one, least of all himself. His is a tale of a true rock 'n' roller.someone
who's spent decades bringing the party with him wherever he goes but always
headin' back to Cabo for mas tequila.
