Sammy Hagar is a popular recording artist and is perhaps most well known for being the former lead singer of the rock band Van Halen. In a recent interview Hagar was asked whether he planned on making new music. Hagar said he refused to do so because of the high cost, saying it would cost about half a million dollars.
After learning about this interview, a commentator wrote:
'Half a million is crazy talk. Are you really going to tell me that Sammy Hagar and his other band mates don't own a recording studio between them? The recording cost would be the cost of a producer, some flights, and some accommodations for a couple of weeks. That doesn't even come close to equaling half a million dollars. Love Sam, but he needs to stop the nonsense and be honest.'
