Search - Sammy Hagar :: Musical Chairs

Classic Hagar '70s shot

"I first got this disc back in '89 and still think of it as one of Sammy's best. Chunky guitar rock like it ought to be. Sammy's music has always ranged from the rock anthem to the deep. Whether he's partying the night away with 'Turn up the music' or getting ready for the apocolypse in 'Crack in the world' Sammy's always done it with style and grace. This may not be the style that made Sammy hugely popular, but it is the sound that makes him a true legendary rocker. He may never be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, but he should be."

Great 70s Hagar

"Sammy Hagar may have disowned his 70s solo work, but a quick listen proves that MUSICAL CHAIRS is a great album that deserves wider recognition. Working from roots in Ted Nugent's Detroit rock and the Outlaws' Southern boogie, just like his previous, self-titled debut, this one adds R&B horns on "It's Gonna Be All Right" and a pop ballad, "Try (Try To Fall In Love)" to the mix. However, these changes don't subtract from the music. Rather, they add to it, giving the music a depth lacking in the hard rock that came later from other bands (e.g. Motley Crue, Ratt). Hagar's advocacies of sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, increased funding for law enforcement, and capital punishment or life without parole for kidnappers make MUSICAL CHAIRS an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience."
