There's one startling revelation, however, that's not in the book. In an interview earlier this week, Sammy said that he believes he was once abducted by aliens. Yup. No shit. They kidnapped him, evidently, "tapped into his brain" and uploaded information.
Okay, it's not the alien story that bothers us; it's the Hagar ego that's really rankles us. Out of all the people in this world, the aliens picked Sammy Hagar to examine and, specifically, his brain to siphon information from? Seriously? It's understandable that he would go a little crazy thinking that he never quite filled Roth's shoes, but please don't try to top him on his crazy. Please.
We're thinking since Van Halen announced they were heading back into the studio (Roth rejoined the band in 2007 after they ousted Hagar.) Sammy felt betrayed. His brilliant mind has probably deduced that old stoners are going to flock to stadiums all over the country and pay millions to see the reunited band perform their greatest hits. It makes sense that he would throw some aliens in the book to spice it up a bit because, to be honest, nobody gives a shit about his experiences with or without the band. We all preferred Roth's antics and voice. It's okay, Sammy... it's all about closure. Move on, man.
