Sammy Hagar, popular in the early- mid 1980's for fast paced, guitar-driven, hard pop-rock with a masculine, lets-go-party attitude, joined the band Van Halen as lead vocalist after David Lee Roth's departure from the group. Hagar, received by the rock n roll public-at-large at the time as an unlikely replacement for Roth, ultimately became in his own right, the only face the group ever really had. It was not until Hagar joined Van Halen did they enjoy consistent, chart-topping success with hit after hit from the debut "Van Hagar" album, Van Halen 5150, and its follow-up, OU812. As much as it was public surprise when Hagar joined the band, so it was when he left. Sammy Hagar now peddles his own line of high-quality "Cabo Wabo" tequila.
