[edit] alien abduction
Why isn't there anything in here about his alien abduction by "The Nine"?
[edit] lebanese?
are you sure? who says (besides my cousin)? ;-)
Yes, Sami Haggar... very Lebanese
[edit] Los Tres Gusanos
This article could use a link to the Los Tres Gusanos article about Sammy's side project with Michael Anthony and David Lauser (which is only in infacy however). Planet Us would also be worthy of mention.
[edit] Politics
Citing his performances with Toby Keith as evidence he is a Republican is unacceptable for two reasons, and I removed it.
1. Toby Keith is a registered DEMOCRAT who contributed to a range of Democratic candidates in the 2004 elections as well as to Bush-Cheney.
2. Sharing the stage with an artist is certainly NO indication of shared political orientation. To continue the Toby Keith story, he is known for his bombastic pro-war stances and yet is a CLOSE FRIEND, not merely fellow performer, of Willie Nelson, who is anti-war, and Merle Haggard who is likewise anti-war. Brooks & Dunn, staunch Republicans, have played and recorded with liberal Democrat Sheryl Crow. Musical and political alliances do not go hand in hand per se.
Why the hell are a rock musician's general political beliefs (if they are not an outspoken activist or adhere to some particularly extreme philosophy_) even relevant? Unless the bios of 92% of rockers say ("he is beleieved to be a democrat"0 then it is stupid for the other 8% (or whatever) to say 'he is believed to be a >>>>>(gasp)... REPUBLICAN" Liberal Wiki bias.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.91.163.131 (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Changed a few things....
One, Van Halen only made one #1 hit single, so I deleted the "made many #1 hit singles" and also...I deleted the whole "trouble in paradise" since that is obviously biased
[edit] This Planet's On Fire (Burn In Hell)
Why is "This Planet's On Fire (Burn In Hell)" missing from the singles' list? Surely its' his most well known song.
[edit] Citation of source needed for this, I should think:
"As the show ended, Eddie smashed his guitar on stage sending shrapnel into the audience. This caused tensions to flare up backstage after the show and Sammy and Eddie reportedly almost got into it and someone had to step in between them."
Not a single source posted on the page to back this claim up. 86.42.192.200 (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
