Sammy Hagar and Bryan Adams Trade Tributes Over Social Media

Sammy Hagar and Bryan Adams showed each other a little love over social media recently.

It all started when Adams shared a video of himself driving listening to a little "Van Hagar" with "Why Can't This Be Love." Hagar shared the clip himself with the caption, "My buddy @bryanadams has got him some good driving music going on #vanhagar #5150."

Hagar would return the favor sharing a quick video of him playing Adams' classic "Summer of '69."

It's funny that Hagar choose "Summer of '69" to play considering Adams revealed the song's far dirtier meaning a couple years ago.

In a July 2020 interview with Classic Rock, Adams said, "The song is a bit autobiographical, but it’s really about summer love and, in my, case being a musician. I love the song 'Night Moves' by Bob Seger, which is about getting laid in the summer, and I always wanted to write an answer to that. There is a huge misconception that this song is about 1969, but it’s not. The reason I chose 69 is because of the sexual position."

"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott would've turned 55 today (August 20), and if there's one thing other than his guitar playing that Dime was known for, it was being the life of the party.

Dime, like many rock stars before and after him, liked to drink, and there's one cocktail, in particular, that's associated with his legend. Of course, he's not the only rock star in history to have a special relationship with a cocktail or a liquor brand. In honor of Dime's birthday, here's a look a seven cocktails/liquor brands associated with rock stars.

Bottoms up!
