ABOUT THE RECORD
I Never Said Goodbye was originally titled Sammy Hagar, and included an untitled cover. The album was renamed I Never Said Goodbye, the name being chosen as part of an MTV promotional contest. Some pressings retain the title Sammy Hagar, not to be confused with the 1977 album Sammy Hagar. This was Hagar's only solo album released while he was a member of Van Halen. The album was recorded in ten days as a contractual obligation to Geffen Records as a condition of his leaving the label to join Van Halen and their record label, Warner Bros. Records (Geffen's distributor at the time, and also, Hagar's home when he was part of Montrose). It features Eddie Van Halen on bass guitar, who said in an interview that he also played a very brief part on guitar uncredited. The songs Give to Live and Eagles Fly were also performed live by Van Halen together with Hagar. Give to Live topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1987, a first for Hagar as a solo artist. Boys' Night Out was performed live on the American TV show Late Night with David Letterman. Returning Home was intended to be a sequel to Silver Lights from Hagar's first album Nine on a Ten Scale. Whereas Silver Lights was a story about aliens taking humans from Earth, Returning Home tells the story of the humans' return trip. Hagar said that it could also apply to a tale that his future self might tell a child at that time. Privacy was inspired by several run-ins that Hagar had with the California Highway Patrol while driving in his car with black-tinted windows. While a court challenge would always rule in Hagar's favor, the law could not prevent the police from repeatedly pulling him over and giving him tickets.
