Sammy Hagar lists his 5 favorite songs to play live on current tour

“Eagles Fly”

“It always seems to bring out a lot of love from the audience and the sing-along is a goosebumps moment for me,” Hagar said.

The song “Eagles Fly” was first released by Hagar on his 1987 solo studio album “I Never Said Goodbye”. It was the only record he released when he still was a member of Van Halen. It was made in 10 days as a contractual obligation to Geffen Records.

“Finish What Ya Started” (Van Halen cover)

“I wanted the fun songs to play & sing and The Circle puts a very funky spin on it,” Sammy said.

“Finish What Ya Started” was included on Van Halen’s 1988 album “OU812”, the second one featuring Hagar as the vocalist. That record also had other famous tracks like “When It’s Love”, “Cabo Wabo” and “Black and Blue”.

“Three Lock Box”

“I get to jam out on guitar for as long a I want and then have a battle of the axes with Mikey. You can’t get more off the hook than that,” Hagar said.

“Three Lock Box” is the title-track of Sammy Hagar’s solo album released in 1982.

“Crazy Times”

“Always great playing a new song. Especially when it’s sooo good and fun to play,” Sammy said.

“Crazy Times” is the title-track of Sammy Hagar & The Circle upcoming album that will be released next September 30.

“Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy”

“May be the happiest, most fun sing-along song I’ve ever written and The Circle kills it!,” Sammy Hagar said.

“Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy” is another track from “Three Lock Box”, Hagar’s solo album released in 1982.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
