Hagar, now a sort of modern-day Jimmy Buffett, has earned his place in rock n roll history as one of hard rock's premier front men who not only has an ample, strong, belting vocal range with soulful melody and tone, but his duality as a formidable lead guitarist and guitar-riff-monger puts him in a league shared with few others in terms of versatility and overall right to rock.
He now tours with Mike Anthony, former bassist for Van Halen.
He resides with his family in Mill Valley, CA.
Hagar is currently in a band called "Chickenfoot" with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. Their self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim
Sammy Hagar is also known as the Red Rocker, due to the fact he almost always wears red shirts or plays a red guitar, or more likely that he has red hair?
Seems that Chickenfoot is on a hiatus as Joe Satriani has gone back to solo and CF has yet to follow up with a new LP.

Sammy Hagar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And sometimes seems to go the other way.
But it really don't matter at all.
It depends upon how quickly you rise when you fall.
So make sure you don't stay down too long.
Sometimes nothing can go wrong.
And some times the good times don't stay too long.
But don't cry, find out why they don't.
And the good times will be there if you want.
You try, try to fall in love.
It's the key to everything
It's the calling of the wind
That sings to you and plays for you when you are down.
You try, try to look above
To the clouds up in the sky.
That is where the music lies.
And you can have it when you fall in love.
Sometimes the music don't come out too well.
And sometimes there really isn't much to tell.
But nothing's wrong, it's a song you feel.
And the moment you thought of it, it must have been real.
Or you wouldn't even thought of it.
You just try, try to fall in love.
It's the key to everything
It's the calling of the wind
That sings to you and plays to you when you are down.
You try, try to look above
To the clouds up in the sky.
That is where the music lies.
You can have it when you fall in love.
The lyrics of Sammy Hagar's "Try" can be interpreted as a call to persevere and keep trying in life, even when things don't always go the way we want them to. The song's opening lines illustrate this sentiment: "Sometimes everything works out okay. And sometimes seems to go the other way. But it really don't matter at all. It depends upon how quickly you rise when you fall." These lines are suggesting that setbacks and failures are a natural part of life, and what really matters is how we respond to them. If we can quickly pick ourselves up and keep trying, we have a better chance of achieving our goals and finding happiness.
The song then goes on to talk about the importance of falling in love and finding one's passion in life. Hagar sings, "You try, try to fall in love. It's the key to everything. It's the calling of the wind that sings to you and plays for you when you are down." Here, he is suggesting that love is not only a powerful force in our personal lives, but it can also help us find our path in life and give us the motivation to keep striving for our dreams. The final lines of the song ("That is where the music lies. You can have it when you fall in love.") reinforce this message, implying that when we are truly passionate about something, we can find joy and fulfillment in it, even in the face of challenges and setbacks.
Overall, "Try" is a hopeful and optimistic song that encourages listeners to keep trying in life, even when times are tough. It reminds us that setbacks and failures are a natural part of the journey, and that by staying resilient and motivated, we can ultimately find happiness and success.

In the endless sea of good music that I have lost, found or rediscovered, it's good to have washed ashore here, think I will stay awhile.
