Sammy Hagar has taken yet another swing at David Lee Roth.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Hagar didn’t hold back. When the interviewer mentioned Roth doesn’t have the voice like before, Hagar responded:
“No, he doesn’t. But there’s a lot of guys out there that don’t. He can join that club. That’s sad. That’s what I’m talking about when I say all that about retirement. Not retirement, but just quitting. If I can’t sing the songs, I ain’t going to sing the songs. And fortunately, I got a lot of songs. I got about 600 songs I’ve written in my life between all my bands and my solo career where I can pick enough songs where I could probably do a show that are low enough to where if I can’t hit the high notes. But I don’t even want to do that. I don’t want people out there screaming for “Dreams.” And I can’t do it.”
This isn’t the first time Hagar has criticized Roth’s vocal abilities. In past interviews, he’s also bashed Roth’s onstage persona, and questioned his authenticity. Hagar has also expressed frustration over their 2002 co-headlining tour, stating that Roth was difficult to work with and not the person he portrays on stage.
