Sammy Hagar talks about David Lee Roth’s comeback

During the past years the only two classic Van Halen members that were touring and playing the band’s music were Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, who have been together for two decades already. But David Lee Roth recently returned to the road playing only songs from his era of the band.

Hagar talked on Instagram about his comeback and said that it is really important that they are out there keeping the music they made with Eddie Van Halen alive.

Sammy Hagar talks about David Lee Roth’s comeback

“If I may add my two cents here, comparing us today or comparing us in the old days really is not what it’s all about. It’s all about Van Halen, one of the greatest bands, some of the greatest songs in rock history. We were both involved and both had pluses and minuses.”

“I am happy that Dave is out there doing it like Mikey and I, supporting some of the greatest rock songs in history. Like I said, the fans deserve it, good or bad. I believe we’re both doing our best and I’m actually happy. Dave is supporting his era and I will support mine as well as my solo career and side projects for the rest of my life. Everyone should enjoy what we’re both trying to do,” Sammy said. “Keeping the music alive [and] his legacy is important and so is the music both Dave and I wrote with Eddie,” Sammy Hagar said.
