Sammy Hagar Claims To Have Been Abducted By Aliens

Sammy Hagar Claims To Have Been Abducted By Aliens In New Interview

posted Mar 22, 2011 at 4:40 PM by xFiruath. (58 Comments)

In a recent interview with Eric Spitznagel of MTVHive.com, Sammy Hagar discussed topics such as his sexual escapades, doing coke until the sun comes up, and his belief that he was abducted by aliens. An excerpt from the interview follows.

Eric: Okay, let’s just cut to the chase. I’m just going to come out and ask it. Have you ever been abducted by aliens?

Sammy: I think I have.

Eric: What? Really? I was kidding. You seriously believe that?

Sammy: [Laughs.] Now you’re making me sound like a crazy person.

Eric: How is that crazy? I wasn’t there, I don’t know what happened to you.

Sammy: Remember the story in the book, where I have a dream about being contacted by aliens in the foothills above Fontana?

Eric: Yeah, yeah, I’ve got the page right here. “I saw a ship and two creatures inside of this ship… And they were connected to me, tapped into my mind through some kind of mysterious wireless connection.” You’re telling me that wasn’t a dream?

Sammy: That’s right. It was real. [Aliens] were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren’t even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like, “Fuck, they downloaded something into me!” Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. “See what this guy knows.”

Eric: And this actually happened?

Sammy: That happened. That friggin’ happened, I’ll tell you right now. Another thing happened when I was about four that I didn’t put into the book. One time I saw what I considered to be, well, at the time I thought it was a car with no wheels. We lived out in the country and I saw this thing floating across a field, creating this big dust storm. I threw rocks at it and shit. And I don’t know what happened after that.

Eric: You blacked out?

Sammy: I guess. I just have no memory of it. And that wasn’t a dream. It was during daylight.

Eric: I can understand your apprehension. Alien abduction is a tough sell.

Sammy: Especially back a few decades ago, when this stuff happened to me. I couldn’t talk about it because I didn’t know how to explain it. I didn’t understand the technology. But now I’m pretty sure it was a wireless situation. Either a download or upload. They were tapped into my brain and the knowledge was transferred back and forth. I could see them and everything while it was happening. There was a visual involved, almost like … I don’t know. [Laughs.] Don’t get me going!

Eric: If they were downloading something from your brain, I guess the joke’s on them. Unless they were hoping for the lyrics to “Rock Candy.”

Sammy: Oh yeah, I’m sure they were. [Laughs.] Montrose was a very special band.

nah, it was really aliens....but it was a case of mistaken identity, they wanted Hagar the Horrible, not Hagar IS Horrible

THE Horrible has held the keys to the End Times since the Neolithic Age, which is why them ETs are after his azz

Hahaha, in the same interview where he discusses "doing coke until the sun comes up" can he really expect anyone to believe he was abducted by aliens?.. And that he saw a floating car in a field when he was 4 years old, I'm pretty sure everyone makes up crazy stories when they're 4.

Well, what if he REALLY was abducted by aliens and we're just pissing ourselves laughing at the guy?

I mean, have you noticed just how many Van Halen singers have vanished without a trace over the years?

It has to be said that there IS a strange connection between Van Halen and space:

Hagar (apparently) got abducted by aliens, David Lee Roth is one, EVH is not of this earth and the whole band's been "off the radar" for quite a while now plus no one ever quite understood them in a first place. Weird.

Moulder and Scully, time to come back; got a case for you - The VH files.

I love how the interviewer eggs him on...

"Eric: How is that crazy? I wasn’t there, I don’t know what happened to you."

That's all it took for ol Sammy to open the vault. Sammy made sure to contradict himself..."And that wasn’t a dream [car without wheels]. It was during daylight."

Hey it could be possible, if I was intergalactic stoner, drug abuser, and alcoholic, Sammy Hagar would be the guy to abduct. They must have done a VH1 special on him and they caught wind of him out in space.

oh and RT, aliens LOVE cows!! they like to do chop-shop core sample experiments with some of my buddies cattle every 2-3 years...find them things with neatly cauterized biopsies of various organs (they like eyes and getalia best it appears) and the vasular system drained bone dry

it definitely sucks for him, and is always an expensive loss, but i have to admit it is pretty fvckin funny when you hear a hard nosed cattle racher cuss "fvckin Aliens!!" with full venom and sincerity

no one seems to be able to make much of the evidence, anyway

It's like the Hagar that cried alien. He was so coked up off his a$$ as Guttersniper pointed out that no one is gonna believe him when he says he was abducted.

But I believe aliens exist and if they wanted to abduct people there probably isn't a whole lot of stuff we could do to stop them.
Damn aliens abducting out cows and former Van Halen singers.......

Still some pretty bad Press ZMA. His publicist or A@R team have gotta be cringing! One of the smartest people in the world S Hawking chimed in on his opinions on extraterrestrials last summer;he seems to buy in on the ET thing. So who knows. Those Alien files on History Channel I believe are some pretty interesting watching. Still like to know what's inside Area 51 though! Lol

Yea that's true R Ten. I've been watching that show Ancient Aliens on history channel also. I'm not gonna lie they make that sh!t look really convincing. I could believe aliens helped build the pyramids. What do I know, it's not like any of us were honestly there haha. I'm willing to bet that sometime before I die the government will finally say fvck it and let people see what's inside Area 51. Although I highly doubt there's anything interesting in there anymore.
So many people try to get a peek at that place ever since people found out about it, they probably moved the really secret stuff somewhere classified, and Area 51 is now just a decoy. That's just an idea I've had. Could be true. Seems logical.

27. R Tenney writes:

A 51 seems pretty gaurded for a decoy though. Skunkworks op was developed there. I know the Stealth bomber thingy. Anyways some pretty interesting stuff. Not from Sammy though!

That's the point though. They keep it heavily guarded still, to keep everyones concentration on Area 51 so they can do their work in another more secret location. I mean Area 51 isn't that secret anymore but I'm sure they still do some pretty cool stuff there. It's just an interesting thought.
But yea Hagar isn't helping anything. Speaking of him though, I bet the new Chickenfoot album is gonna be awesome, if anyone here has heard their first album at least.

I bought their album R Ten. It was pretty worth it. It's a great super group of players. I think their new album is gonna be just as good. And it's awesome seeing Satriani play in a real band with a singer and just lay back and enjoy the music. He seems really layed back in that band.

Yea ol Satch an incredible player he is! Got his early stuff like surfing alien. Dudes def. A virtuoso. Chickenfoot defenitly better than the VH I saw with Cherone! Wish Eddie would stop f***ing around and put out a proper VH album! I go back along ways with those guys! Great party band ;one of the best! Don't know if Roths still got the pipes to properly do a new VH album though. Time will tell

nah, of course there are aliens...a much more ridiculous notion is that this good Earth is the ONLY place in this incomprehesibly vast universe where sentient life exists

THAT i find ridiculous....there are literally billions of worlds, and human knowledge is so fvcking myopic that its laughable in the context of greater cosmos...we have a hard enough time getting people to our own little moon whose average distance away is a paltry 238k miles away, and haven't even begun to begin manned missions to even out nearest sister planet

contemplate the incedible distance a SINGLE light year represents....now what about MILLIONS of light years??

really now, what the fvck do we know?

and no, i am absolutely NOT endorsing ANYthing Hagar is Horrible runs his fecking flapper about

My take on aliens is on par with yours Hellrat, especially considering that we've only been around for a tiny fraction of how long the earth has been around. Of course this is assuming what scientific data we have is correct, who knows... What we do know is that the earth sure wasn't made in 6 days.

ZMA, Hellrat, If aliens have the technology to fly over here, they'd also have the technology to find out a little bit more of the wonderful residents of the planet earth.

That said, You think someone would appear out of space and come over to say "hi" to us?
They'd know what savages we are. They'd look at the earth from a distance and see all the flashes and flames = wars. Should be quite warning.

So I think it'd be "oh man, earth again? Let's go someplace else".

LOL, I just looked at the earth from a perspective of an alien. Only at MU ;)

and yes, SOMETHING has been fvcking with the cattle in the San Luis Valley (where my town is located) for decades, with forensics teams from the FBI and State Police unable to come up with anything conclusive (publicly, at least)...and that a personal friend's stock has periodically fallen victim to such activity

so, like I said before, "Fvckin Aliens!!" :)
