'Sammy Hagar shows are nothing if not energetic, almost frenetic. His vocal stylings are as polished as his voice is scratchy and rough. His guitar playing follows suit, combining expertly lyrical melodies and hard, driving power chords. His musical sound is heavy metal with influences of pop, rock, blues and country. At any given Sammy Hagar show, you're likely to hear some of his classic hits like Eagles Fly, I Can't Drive 55, Your Love is Driving Me Crazy and I've Done Everything for You.'
