IbanezJem Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 OU812 was recorded in a hurry. I think they were taking their time to hone the songs for the album, and suddenly they got an offer to play at the Monsters of Rock with the Scorpions, Metallica and Kingdom Come, and the record company demanded that they put it out before that short tour. I think it's the last album to truly feature the brown sound, and after that he started using the Peavey Wolfgang. Awesome guitar, but a different ball game altogether. My favorite from OU812, on a kick ass version here, with Eddie sporting a "where's Waldo" shirt, Sammy in spandex and everyone firing on all cylinders: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpQCqwz6itI Band is tight as a drum in this era. Just killer. Maybe too tight. It was also my first concert. 32 years ago. almost to the day. Hartford Civic Center, 1988. With Private Life!For a while I was wondering why Sammy looks weird these days, I think it's his nose, it seems to grown to twice the size in the last 20 years.It`s full of his dodgy Tequila! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 New video from Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony posted yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZtQR24ouV8 I don't like that he's playing concerts right now...but generally I think Sammy is a really down to earth guy and he could not have been sweeter in this message. So good to hear from Michael Anthony as well. I can't even imagine what it must've felt like to play that song that night. If I were in their shoes, I'm not sure I could've done it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krystal Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I used to listen to this song repeatedly . It's like a lullaby. My own personal VH dream was to perform a duet of this song with Sammy.I guess I'm not the only one at this forum with broken dreams. LOL I like ballads. I'm such a girl. Here is Eddie playing the piano like a boss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach concerts and odd performances, and his vocals are weird, his voice goes through his tequila-enlarged nose these days. He needs to go solo or retire, but actually playing with the Circle and Chickenfoot IS being retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Sammy Hagar, if not quite a living legend then pretty dang close. I just disagree with putting on rock concerts during the pandemic. But then hey, I didn't see what the crowd looked like, and it was outside. I'm probably overthinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Circle Jerk Performances are boring and uninspired. He has a great band they put on a snooze fest. I was very happy before Covid when it was going to be Sammy CircleWhitesnakeNight Ranger Meaning I would have gone back to the casino after Whitesnake. I wouldn't waste my time seeing Sammy ever again unless he brings back his old band from the Capital early Geffen Daze. Kind of funny. The punk band Circle Jerks has a great album called "Wonderful." There is a song on there they wrote to pay homage to Sammy and METAL. "American Heavy Metal Weekend." It rocks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
