Wolfgang Van Halen says the Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen "doesn't get any respect"

Wolfgang Van Halen and Sammy Hagar

Wolfgang Van Halen has shared some love for the Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen, while noting that he thinks Hagar's efforts with the legendary rock band aren't sufficiently respected.

Hagar joined the Halen crew in 1985, replacing original singer David Lee Roth. After leaving in 1996, the Red Rocker returned to the band from 2003 until 2005. During his time as frontman, Van Halen released four albums; 5150, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Ou812 and Balance, all of which topped the US Billboard 200 chart.
