There’s some new Sammy Hagar material coming your way.

Hagar has completed another chapter for “Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock,” which will be included in the paperback edition of the Red Rocker’s New York Times best seller.

"I just finished another chapter for it, because it's coming out in paperback and I didn't wanna just release the same book again," Hagar told the American Rock Scene. “And since that book came out and it went No. 1, it did a lot — it really changed things within me and with people around me. And some of my closer friends kind of had a weird response to the book and some people that I really didn't know — people that were almost, like… I don't wanna say 'enemies,' but people in the industry that maybe didn't respect me or give me any love or the time of day over the years — came in and said, 'Wow, I had no idea. Man, I have a whole different opinion of you.' So I wrote a new chapter about that; I just did it yesterday and it will be in the paperback [version of the book].”

“[It's] just about how being a rock star my whole life and then having a No. 1-selling book had a profound influence on my stature, as a human on this planet,” continues Sammy. “There's only been two rock books, I guess, in history — Keith Richards and myself — that went to No. 1, so it got a lot of people's attention. I get a lot of phone calls through my agency or through my management, 'What do you wanna do next? We wanna be involved?' [Laughs] I used to go around knocking on doors. 'Hey, I wanna do this.' Now it's like, 'Hey, you wanna make a movie?', 'Hey, you wanna be in a TV show?' 'You wanna do this? 'You wanna do that?' It's interesting."

Hagar made headlines around the world for the book, including many based on his thoughts about both David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen, that actor Charlie Sheen reminded him of Eddie Van Halen circa 2004, and some regarding Sammy’s visitations by aliens from other dimensions.
