diablo175 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Sammy (unlike another VH vocalist) is one of the few vocalists that's been able to retain the majority of his vocal chops and signature style. Liked his stuff with Chickenfoot and if this tune is any indication, looks to be dishing up some more straight ahead rockin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I urge everyone to go back and listen to those first three Post VH Sammy Solo Albums. The Songs, Lyrics were just on fire. Crazy Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics are the specific cringe on the Sammy era VH albums and the one flavour (Tropical fruit punch)vocal timber is the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take a genius to realize it's cliche and sounds horrible. I tell myself Hey, only fools rush in And only time will tell If we stand the test of time All I know You've got to run to win And I'll be damned if I'll get Hung up on the line As for his vocal chops, he played it much more safe with his vocal lines, relying less on going to the limit of his range. This both makes it easier to sing now that he's older, and also probably didn't tear the hell out of his vocal cords during his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy p Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 lol. We could easily have a whole thread dedicated to Sammy's crappy lyrics.

Dave Scepter Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 It's not the lyrics themselves but how they're sung… When you're seventeen Reachin' for your dreams But don't let no one reach 'em for you Pull off your pants Stretch out take a chance If it can be done, you can do it 'Cause you're rock candy baby You're hard sweet an' sticky~ 🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDave Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I'll admit that I rarely pay close attention to lyrics, but Sammy with Ronnie Montrose was pure magic. The soundtrack of my misspent youth. Get on your bad motor scooter and ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
