Buy Red On Black: The Listener’s Guide to Sammy Hagar at this link.

A big thank-you to my co-host Jex Russell and special guest Tim Durling for this informative, fun and funny look at the career of Sammy Hagar.  The show was also about this new book that Tim has out about the Red Rocker.

OK, sure, the show went off the rails from time to time, but there were plenty of highlights:

• A hilarious cold open by Jex
• A cool 12″ single for “Heavy Metal” with two bonus tracks
• An inside look at Tim’s process and priorities when writing this book
• Lots of interesting opinions on Sammy and his various bands
• Great interaction in the comments section with loads of great questions

Enjoy the show!

Thanks for the shout out about the “late tax”.
Do you think Roth still listens to Montrose?
Have you ever heard “Sammy Hagar Weekend” by Thelonious Monster?
Regarding the “contractual obligation album”, there was a lot of information here that I was not aware of before, such as that note inside 5150 that says “Sammy’s solo albums can be found on Geffen records.” When you first notice that?
Capital Special Markets – were these only serviced to certain kinds of stores?
