"Singing this song was always difficult. I wrote the lyrics about Kurt Cobain's death. I wanted the chorus to say "I wanna tell you what love can do", but Bruce Fairbank, Ed and Al wanted to make it more dark and negative. Technically it's a brutal song to sing. I painted myself in a corner, but we will be doing it at the residency in Vegas. I'm going to add it to the show." - Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker) Today marks the 30th anniversary of "Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do"! | Van Hagar / Other H
