Free Music Notes for Essential Red CollectionFree Music Review: Good collection but not great. Hit: 4 Stars
I became a Sammy Hagar fan after he came into Van Halen I
started checking out his solo work and was really impressed
with what had done as a solo artist. Best tracks are:
-Fast times at Ridgemount High
-Winner takes it all
-I can't drive 55
-Bad motor scooter
Free Music Review: Sammy is the one of the best Hit: 4 Stars
Great CD. For some reason, it doesn't play on one of my CD players but it's fine on my Sony changer. Good selection of songs. Some of his best stuff was with VH which is not included here but I already have all the Van Hagar CD's so it's ok with me. Definitely worth it.
Free Music Review: Fans of Sammys career Hit: 4 Stars
If you are a fan of the "Red Rocker" than you should enjoy this collection of his music spanning his career from Montrose all the way to the Waboritas. I thought it was good sampling of his work thus far.
Free Music Review: A Classic!! Hit: 4 Stars
This is a great mix of old Sammy and new Sammy!! A must have!!
Free Music Review: Pretty much something produced for the sake of a dollar Hit: 3 Stars
I have been a huge Hagar fan since Standing Hampton came out. Someone stated that this set needed some VH stuff because those were his more popular years... well I say bunk. When someone wants to talk about the "Essential" collection of an artist or band it is my belief that it should be put out for that purpose and that purpose only, i.e. essential Sammy for Sammy stuff, and Essential VH for VH stuff. Sammy was much better in his days before VH and there is a lot of stuff missing from those days. If someone wanted to put together a reall "Essential Red Collection" it should be in the form of a box set. There are numorous titles missing from this set.... Two sides of love, Three lock box, Baby's on fire, Can't get loose, Trans Am, This Planet's on fire, Plain Jane, Love or money, Turn up the music, The Iceman, the HSAS (Hagar, Schon, Arinson, and Shreiv) stuff, Top of the Rock and Missing you. I'm sure there are others that I haven't mentioned that are still missing, and there are the other one's mentioned in other reviews before mine. I am glad to see the soundtrack titles and see them as plus to this collection. The reason for only three stars is it's hard to give Sammy a bad rap, but again the soundtrack titles helped bring the rating up as well. Let's see the record companies or Sammy, or whoever is responsable for the scams of all the "Best of" releases do the real fans a favor and put together an awesom box set. Maybe include some old live stuff as well.
