Hit: 4 Stars
Sammy Hagar got his big break in the early seventies as lead singer for "Montrose", a hard hitting no holds barred rock band founded by guitar wiz Ronnie Montrose. After several albums (the self titled "Montrose" & "Paper Money") Hagar left Montrose to pursue a solo career. He was extremely successful releasing numerous hits "Turn Up The Music", "Cruisin' And Boozin'", "Trans Am (Highway Wonderland)", "You Make Me Crazy", and "Red" to name a few. This latest collection focuses mostly on Hagar's eighties material with "Red", "I've Done Everything For You", "Thinking Of You" (previously unreleased), "Call My Name" (previously unreleased) and "Bad Motor Scooter" (from Montrose) representing his seventies output. Hagar continued his success in the eighties with such hits as "There's Only One Way To Rock", "I'd Fall In Love Again", "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy", and "I Can't Drive 55" as well as "Heavy Metal" (from the film of the same name) and "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" (from the film of the same name) to name a few. There are four songs on this collection from Hagar's nineties output with "High Hopes", "Little White Lie", "Marching To Mars" and "Mas Tequila". Granted there are some deletions from this collection ("Three Lock Box" and "I Don't Need Love" for starters) but this collections surpasses his 1994 "Unboxed" hits cd. The remastering is excellent with crisp highs, increased bass and midrange. Hagar is still going strong, back as vocalist of Van Halen (even though that band went thru a period of vocalist changes). He hasn't aged much in some thirty years or so and is still considered one of the world's "oldest teenagers". Highly Recommended!Free Music Review: The History of the Red Rocker!
Hit: 4 Stars
This Greatest Hits compilation of The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar is by far one of the best "Greatest Hits" compilations ever printed in Rock History. This CD captures all 20 of Sammy Hagar's Top 40 hits throughout his monumental career. I got this CD for Christmas and this got me hooked into Red Rocker mania. I am now hooked on Sammy Hagar and have begun to start my collection.
Some of the biggest highlights of this CD are Sammy's greatest and most phenomenal hits such as: 1984s anthem "I Can't Drive 55" (My favorite song from Sammy), 1987s phenomenal Power Ballad "Give To Live", the catchy swinging rocker, "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy", 1987s "Eagles Fly", the theme song from Sylvester Stallone's 1987 movie, Over the Top, "Winner Takes All", the ever-so awsome acoustic-electric piece, "Little White Lie" (this song Rocks!), and the anthem of liquor, "Mas Tequilla."
This CD truly captures what Sammy Hagar is: An extremely talented Guitarist, phenomenal song-writter, and an outstanding singer. His songs on this CD have out-of-this-world guitar solos, excellent beats and wonderful vocals. I guarantee, if you buy this CD, you will find yourself at the store within a couple of weeks ready to buy another CD with Sammy Hagar's name on it! I did! Rock on, Red Rocker!
Free Music Review: Stop Crying...
Hit: 4 Stars
Nearly every band/artist has more compilation/greatest hits releases than necessary: Zep, Queen, Elton John, U2, etc...its just the way of the world these days. It's your choice to buy them or not...there's no need to continually whine about it...just don't buy them!
If you like Sammy Hagar and don't mind parting with a MEASLY 12 bucks, just buy the damn CD! I myself own a fair amount of Hagar material, 'Unboxed' included, but so what. This CD is remastered, it has a different collection of songs that I like, and that's enough for me to reward Sammy with a few bucks for the musical enjoyment he's given me over the years.
This is SAMMY HAGAR, not VH...if you want VH...go buy a VH CD, just stop crying about this CD not having any VH material...it's SAMMY HAGAR!! Perhaps there are contractual reasons between the artists and record companies that prohibit combining the two? Doesn't matter, you should concern yourself with what it is...not what it isn't, and stop pouting like little girls.
This is a great CD...highly recommended, especially to those who don't know much about Sammy...it's truly worth checking out...you won't be disappointed!
Free Music Review: The best of slammin' Sammy.
Hit: 4 Stars
The best of Van Halen AND the best of Sammy Hagar in the same few weeks? Hmmmmm. Anyway, If Sammy's your man, this is a great collection, and depending on what you want, it's probably better than his previous hits disc "Unboxed". Not only is this 20 tracks, but some of those are "Bad Motor Scooter", "There's Only One Way To Rock", "Give To Live", "Mas Tequila", and the ultimate driving song of all time "I Can't Drive 55". Plus there's a couple good soundtrack songs: "Heavy Metal" and "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". I don't really miss anything besides "Three Lock Box" and "When The Hammer Falls". Overall, I think this album will live up to your "High Hopes".
