“Wondering, if you still got it in ya”
Here’s a feelgood classic rock song from a year that had very little of that going about. On Not 4 Sale Sammy Hagar And The Waboritas managed the rare feat (in 2002) of sounding like they were actually having a ton of fun bashing out songs like Things’ve Changed. It’s basic, familiar stuff but it’s also warm, catchy and delivered with infectiously easygoing charm. I love the mix of Who-like strummed acoustics and thick power chords and Hagar’s voice sounds great. Until this week I hadn’t listened to Things’ve Changed for over a decade so I can’t really say it’s essential but one listen was enough to have the song bouncing around happily in my head for days. It made me feel good. So no changes there.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
This may be where I checked out. I remember checking out on Mas Tequila?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Didn’t like it either. And Chickenfoot were crap as well.

I stopped buying Sam’s stuff after the Tequila album. It was nothing personal lol but I stopped. I will add that the Van Hagar box set is amazing. OU812 sounds good now sonically.

The two he did after the tequila one were better. Ten 13 and Not 4 Sale.

Now it’s the ChickenHalen tour next year. Wish it was AVH behind the kit too be honest.

I’m like Deke and Mike, and never really checked this stuff out. I would like to see Sammy live this Summer as it sounds like it could be a killer show (Chickenfoot lite)

I never saw Sammy live. I’m sure it would be a good show.

Thanks for reminding me how much I like this guy. First time listen and Yeah, I hear what you’re hearing. I guess it’s a Sam day today. I pretty much like everything he does.
