Samuel Roy Hagar (born October 13, 1947), also known as The Red Rocker, is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, musician, and entrepreneur. Hagar came to prominence in the 1970s with the hard rock band Montrose. He then launched a successful solo career, scoring an enduring hit in 1984 with "I Can't Drive 55". He enjoyed commercial success when he replaced David Lee Roth as the lead singer of Van Halen in 1985, but left in 1996…

Live 1980 is a Sammy Hagar live album recorded during the tour promoting his then-newest album, Danger Zone. The album mainly contains tracks from Danger Zone and its predecessor, Street Machine. It was released by Capitol Records after the success of Hagar's Geffen-era releases, Standing Hampton and Three Lock Box…

Sammy Hagar has worked hard to make his name synonymous with parties, so cutting a party record like Sammy Hagar & Friends makes perfect sense. This is all about good times with good friends, and many of the guys – and, with the exception of Heart's Nancy Wilson, they're all guys – helping out the Red Rocker have been in Sammy's circle for years…

The first album to be released under the Sammy Hagar & the Circle moniker, At Your Service finds the red rocker rocking out with Michael Anthony (bass), Jason Bonham (drums), and Vic Johnson (guitar) live on the group's 2014 tour…

In between his days with hard-rocking Montrose in the early '70s and his takeover of lead singing duties from David Lee Roth in Van Halen, Sammy Hagar had a moderately successful solo career. Many of his singles didn't receive the recognition they deserved, which were either staid guitar-driven party anthems or infectious AOR tunes with punchy choruses. Unboxed is a hits collection that takes Hagar's best work from Standing Hampton, I Never Said Goodbye, VOA, and Three Lock Box, plus two other fiery singles, and puts them all on one disc, which is both convenient and entertaining…

Sometime after his acrimonious departure from Van Halen, Sammy Hagar decided that it would be best if he turned himself into a hard rock version of Jimmy Buffett. Since he already had his Cabo Wabo Cantina in San Lucas, plus his Cabo Wabo tequila, he was already halfway there – he was celebrating the beach as much as he was playing music – but with his 2006 album Livin' It Up! he finally makes the musical transition to full-time beachfront rockin'…

Boasting no-frills production and brash hard rock ideals, the Red Rocker's third post-Van Halen release is everything Sammy Hagar fans could hope for. Opting for an indie label release, NOT 4 SALE makes no attempt to be trendy or contemporary…

Released on the struggling Beyond record label in 2000, Ten 13 wasn't exactly a well-publicized release. An impressive list of artists joined Sammy Hagar around the turn of the century at Beyond only to release hefty musical but commercially non-viable recordings…

"Marching to Mars" is Sammy Hagar's first post-Van Halen solo album. It is his tenth solo studio album. It features various musicians on different songs. It was released on MCA Records, which had by that point acquired his former label, Geffen Records…

When former Edgar Winter Group guitarist Ronnie Montrose invited Sammy Hagar to join his band Montrose back in 1972, there were those who predicted Sammy would be one of the most popular names in rock. They were right. This collection starts with one of The Red Rocker's early trademark songs, "Bad Motor Scooter" (the original Montrose version) & continues through his solo years, gathering all of his significant hits along the way from the Capitol, Geffen, MCA & Cabo Wabo labels…
