8 Sep
Summary
- Alex Van Halen called his former bandmate Sammy Hagar a complete idiot.
- Hagar speculated Van Halen's anger might stem from a past business deal.
- The drummer's comments were made in an interview translated for Brazil.
Alex Van Halen recently referred to his former Van Halen bandmate Sammy Hagar as a "complete idiot." This statement was made during an interview conducted by Brazilian journalist Marcelo Vieira for Roadie Crew magazine.
When asked about memoirs written by Hagar and David Lee Roth, Van Halen praised Roth's work but dismissed Hagar's book, calling him an "idiot." Hagar, upon seeing the comment online, expressed that such remarks were unnecessary but implied that "the truth hurts."
Hagar has previously speculated on the root of his difficult relationship with Van Halen. He once discussed with former manager Irving Azoff that Alex might still be resentful over the handling of their Cabo Wabo nightclub venture. Hagar acquired full ownership after his bandmates departed, eventually turning it into a highly profitable business.
