Sammy Hagar criticizes Alex Van Halen's memoir for omitting his time with the band after David Lee Roth's departure in 1985. Hagar argues that the memoir disrespects Eddie Van Halen's musical legacy by ignoring their decade of success together, selling over 50 million records and achieving widespread acclaim.

Sammy Hagar performs onstage during Metallica's. The Red Rocker recently commented on Alex Van Halen 's recent memoir. how Van Halen — who performed with his late brother, Eddie Van Halen , in the iconic ’80s rock band bearing their name — mainly wrote about his life and times with his brother and the band. However, his memoir ends with the original departure of singer David Lee Roth in 1985, and makes no mention of Hagar’s time with the group..

“It could have , my friend, but instead we went on to sell over 50 million records for No. 1 album then sold out every building and stadium in the world for a whole decade,” Hagar wrote. “That never happened again.” He added: “Alex is not doing his brother’s musical legacy justice by not acknowledging all the No. 1 albums and some great music Eddie and I wrote together — not Alex — but Eddie and I wrote together. To not acknowledge 10 years of music is blasphemy to his brother’s musicianship, songwriting and legacy.”“It’s on my bucket list that I will not take this to my grave, and I don’t want Al taking it to his grave…I understand he probably couldn’t have done the whole era in one book,” said Hagar.
