SAMMY HAGAR Explains What Put His 13-Year Old Self Into A Downward Spiral - "I Started Hanging Out With Bad Kids And Doing Bad Stuff"; Video

Sammy Hagar opened up on Bill Maher's top rated podcast, Club Random With Bill Maher, about connecting with Eddie Van Halen before he passed, the conversation he had with Jimmy Buffet pre-Margaritaville, rock and roll excess, the upbringing and the heartbreak that drove Sammy to be a rock star, why people in Cabo don’t know who he is, and how Quentin Tarrantino put Sammy’s tequila brand in his movie. Watch below.

Club Random With Bill Maher records at the bar on Bill's property in Los Angeles, where he hosts hour-long, one-on-one interviews with a wide range of eclectic guests. Each episode features free-flowing, long-form conversations about anything and everything, except politics. The podcast reached the top spot on the Apple Podcast charts and continues to be among the top-rated shows across platforms. The weekly podcast reunites Bill with one of the original Politically Incorrect writers, Chris Case and former PI producer Chuck LaBella, both of whom are exec producers of the podcast along with Bill.
