Sammy Hagar I Never Said Goodbye CD

List All Reviews

 Great album!
This is definitely one of my favorite Sammy albums, and it was really cool to hear Eddie Van Halen on bass - quite a change up! My favorite selection is "Privacy" with the "Standing at the Crossroads" intro. Sammy had several singles released from this album with good reason - the songs were air-play friendly with a nice rock edge. I've owned this album since it was on cassette and simply titled "Sammy Hager," and now I own it on CD. ...and I am sooooo glad they didn't name it "Van Hagar"!! LOL!

 Sammy's best
In my opinion, this is the best Sammy LP there is. It's different than all his other stuff...a little edgier and more raw.

 What memories it bring back when listening to it!!!
I remember when this first came out, I bought it on album. I still have the album when it was a self titled album, prior to the MTV contest. All are the self titled. I was completely impressed with this when it first came out. Playing bass is Edward VanHalen and thoughout the album is the backing vocals of the Van Halen gang. This to me is the best Hagar album and blows OU812 and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge out of the water. No this isnt Eddie playing guitar but the red rocker plays really good. The opening track of "When the Hammer Falls" let's you know what the album is all about. It's about to rock your pants off. There is only three somewhat mellow songs (Hands and Knees, Give To Live, and Back Into You) but even they have good chords. This album is not a complete party album, some of it has true and deep meaning (What They Gonna Say Now). All in all, this is an album that a true Red Rocker should have. This is Sammy being Sammy and not VanHagar.

 Response to DKO
Yes, this is a very good album. However, the title "I Never Said Goodbye" is not a "new sub-title" as DKO previously mentioned. Correct, it was originally called simply "Sammy Hagar" but immediately after its release, there was a contest to name the album. Fans sent in there best thought out album title and the winner was someone who came up with the title "I Never Said Goodbye". It wasn't me, but I wonder who it was.

 What happened man?
Believe me, I'm not often gonna bash my two main guys, Sammy Hagar and Eddie Van Halen, but this is not a good album. It may be Hagar, but EVH produced it. Most of the songs are too keyboard heavy. two or three songs stand out: Eagles Fly, Give To Live, and Boys' Night Out. I'm not gonna say this is a horrible album, but Sammy can't make this mistake again.
