LOS ANGELES â€" No doubt Sammy Hagar, a former lead singer for Van
Halen, has enjoyed a lot of far out experiences in life, but on Monday,
the rocker told perhaps his farthest out tale to MTV. He was abducted by
aliens.
Or, at least, his brain was.
In an interview for his new book, "Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock" at
mtvhive.com, Hagar lets go of what even he admits might make him "sound
like a crazy person" to some readers.
He and the reporter are talking about dreams he claims to have had about
UFOs, and when asked whether he believed he had been abducted, Hagar
answers: "I think I have."

The reporter seemed surprised. "What? Really? I was kidding. You
seriously believe that?" he asks.
Hagar laughs and goes on to explain that a passage in the book described
as a dream in which he is contacted by aliens from outer space in
California was, in fact, reality.
The tale describes how the beings tapped into his mind through a
wireless connection.
"It was real," Hagar told the reporter, according to the story on MTV's
Hive website. "They were plugged into me. It was a download situation
.. Or, they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment."
Hagar goes on to describe another experience at the age of four where he
believes he saw an alien space ship in broad daylight hovering over a
country field where his family lived.
The rock guitarist and vocalist is no stranger to wild times. He was a
part of several bands, including Montrose, during the "sex, drugs and
rock 'n' roll" era of the 1970s and 1980s, and during its heyday Van
Halen was among the biggest acts in rock music.
In his book and in the interview with MTV's Hive, Hagar lets the stories
fly on the sex and drugs he did during those years, and he even has a
few not-so-nice things to say about another Van Halen lead singer, David
Lee Roth, whom Hagar replaced in 1985.
