Hot Damn. They certainly did that justice. I will jump on this when it’s released. Way too much talent amongst these 4 dudes for it not to be banging 👍

Zzzzzzzz ... No vision ... No ideas ... Mediocrity at it’s finest ... The Red Rocker (bahahaha!!! ... So corny!) ... Sure, some pretty cool covers but not that cool ...

Boy still has his chops, though, which is amazing considering all the self-branded tequila he must put away (maybe he doesn’t) ... Wish he would put those chops to a cooler concept and a new album of ORIGINALS ... And he can start with the name FULL CIRCLE, one of the STOOPIDEST uninspired names for a ROCK band ever! ... UNROCK!

I am going to avoid hyperbole here. Not a fan of Hagar. As I have said, I would love to have a beer with the guy though.

Song sounds fine . . . enough. Hagar's voice is not suited to Bowie. That's my take. And when I hear him sing "Like the dolphins . . ." I start to cringe. It reminds me of so many of his treacly lyrics while in VH. And it is not his lyric; it's Bowie's. So does he bring the cheese to fore with his singing? I dunno. Words written and words sung are different things.

I give him credit for staying active and releasing content and being way smarter than a lot of people when he jumped on the spirits bandwagon and scored a killing financially. He may talk of speaking with aliens. But Hagar has some business acumen.

And I actually suspect a lot of the DLR vs. SH stuff, no less the EVH stuff prior to EVH's passing, was just show business. Annoying, at least to me. But a simple and effective way to prime the pumps and stay in an ever decreasing slice of the public eye. I even thought his recent back and forth with DLR re: the cartoon was actually measured and good-spirited . . . and it had people talking about both of them.
