Rocker Sammy Hagar is over coronavirus lockdowns and said hed rather perform concerts and die from COVID-19 than watch the economy plummet.
The 72-year-old former Van Halen frontman said in a Rolling Stone interview that hed be comfortable playing a show before theres a vaccine.
Im going to make a radical statement here. This is hard to say without stirring somebody up, but truthfully, Id rather personally get sick and even die, if thats what it takes, he said.
The Red Rocker, who in the past has said he supports Trump, says he wants to leave behind a strong economy for his children and grandchildren.
I would rather see everyone go back to work. If some of us have to sacrifice on that, OK. I will die for my children and my grandchildren to have a life anywhere close to the life that I had in this wonderful country."
Hagar was interviewed alongside 14 other artists who spoke about life without live concerts. Large music events, such as Coachella, Stagecoach and Ultra Music Festival have been cancelled since the coronavirus pandemic thats sickened more than 9.2 million people and killed more than 477,800 worldwide. Even as states continue to reopen, other music events are being postponed.
Im not going to go around spreading the disease. But there may be a time where we have to sacrifice. I mean, how many people die on the Earth every day? Hagar said. Im sorry to say it, but we all gotta die, man.
What does that do with what he had to say?
He’s on our side so try to focus for a second
I always assumed David Lee Roth found his one true love in the mirror and stayed faithful.
...
That would make him gay wouldn’t it?
That would be great. I don’t know why Trump’s people think it’s so hard to play songs and find songs that the artist won’t denounce them for using 10 minutes later.
Sometimes Republicans are so out of touch. They play born in the USA at a Bush rally.
It’s a poignant song but it’s certainly not a rally song
The guy was taking a piss on the US Flag on the album cover for crying out loud!
Take a Xanax I didn’t know that :-)
Some of us are older than others :-)
Wow!!!!!!
That’s what I mean. I just looked at it and I never knew that’s what he was doing. I was a kid. It just looked like another album cover
Thank you. I have listened to his music up to now but now I’m done. Wow
“Uhhh, that was Eddie Van Halen that married Valerie.”
Well, it was a long time ago and they both use their middle name in their professional title. LoL
Well you know. Some of us are dealing with Tchaikovsky records while listening to BB King and AC/DC so we missed that detail. Sorry.
“...even if it means dying.” What utter hyperbole! Give me a break!
“I always assumed David Lee Roth found his one true love in the mirror and stayed faithful.”

I wish I’d said that!
This is not a majority opinion.
Rumors have always been that El Roth would prefer Gino Vannelli to Valerie Bertinelli.
Milt Romney played Right Now and Eddie called Sammy to complain (because Milt is extreme right wing, man!!). Sammy said it was the first time Eddie had called in years and he got mad when Sammy said, I dont care if he plays it, man!
LOL
What a great story.
Eddie’s a leftist huh? Dope.
Brett Michaels, the singer from Poison, Alice Cooper, Sammy and others are Trump supporters.
There’s a bunch of songs that could be used as rallies by folks that support Trump.
Not all narcissists are gay.
He could play Look What the Cat Dragged In over Biden vids.
LOL
They could should the biden groping videos and play “Talk Dirty to Me” by Poison :)
I said this when the album came out and was chastized for saying that he is either pissing on or jerking off on the flag! Never listen to that NJ sh!t
