I was at that show - and I can assure that that it totally fucking rocked!!! Saint Louis is where the RedRocker got his nickname. I've seen him there three times solo and once with Van Halen.

How did he get his nickname in St. Louis?

How did he get his nickname in St. Louis?

I'm not sure, but here's what Sammy said at the concert:

Sammy Hagar announced in front of 18,000+ fans during his St. Louis concert Saturday (May 14) that he would open a Cabo Wabo Cantina in spring 2007 in St. Louis' new $290 million Bottle District. The St. Louis Cabo Wabo Cantina is expected to be one of the select markets to which Sammy will bring Cantinas over the next few years.

"I love St. Louis!" said Sammy Hagar, legendary rocker and the genius behind the Cabo Wabo brand. "I was given the name Red Rocker in St. Louis. I love the people here. I can't wait till we're open."

Hmmm... Thanks. Sammy needs to write an autobiography some day.

That would be cool. And, I would love to read his "kidnapped by aliens" story again.

Kidnapped by aliens? I definitely think I missed something

You've never heard that one? You're in for a treat, then.


And I love Sammy, but...


Here's one:


Blabbermouth.net quotes Hagar as saying, "It's been a long, long time, but back in about '68, in Fontana, California, I had this unbelievable experience…I'm a firm believer—have seen, have felt, have been contacted three or four different times. I have received information that has been valuable in my life from those people, and they have used me. I'm gonna sound like a complete nut here, but they have used me in an experimental fashion. The easiest way to put it is that they downloaded my brain information. When I was about 19 or 20, they downloaded everything that was in my head. And I caught 'em doin' it! I woke up in the middle of the night, thinkin', 'What's goin' on?' They were like, 'Oh, my god, he's waking up!' But this was all telepathy—there were no words being spoken. And as soon as I woke up—it was probably three o'clock in the morning—my whole room was so bright that I could hardly keep my eyes open. I was wide-awake, I could not move, eyes open, white room, they were still disconnecting—and when they did, it just went 'bang!' Everything went back to normal, back to black. I was shaking, I almost passed out, I was sick to my stomach and almost had to throw up, it was so scary…

"It sent me on a course of curiosity. I bought a telescope, and I started reading UFO books, and I just got into the whole thing. And since then, there have been three or four other contacts with the same group of people. I don't know who…they are, but I've narrowed them down to a people called the Nine, who are called that because they're from the Ninth Dimension. I've named my publishing company the Nine Music after them. It's a crazy thing, man. But to me, anyone who thinks we're the only ones here, despite the vastness of the entire universe, is…crazy. Those people gotta be put away—no the guys having these contacts!"




If you Google Sammy Hagar + Aliens, you can find several articles where he mentions it.

I wonder if he just drank a little too much Cabo Wabo tequila that night?

OMG Although, I've had mornings like those after a serious night of drinking

My thoughts exactly

But, this happened in 1968 when he was "19 or 20". That's WAY before his Tequila days. It didn't say (in this article), but he claims he was 100% sober...no drugs or alcohol...when it happened.
