New Sammy & Mike song "Affirmation"

[CalFB]

Instantly recognizable

[I Coulda Hada VH]

Here's one that was love at first sound for me …

[VH1988]

I just played it again. This song is easily My fave of the three tracks so far.

It almost has that 80s era Van Hagar sound.

Im thinking this album is going to be great.

[Dave's Dreidel]

Yeah, this is by far the best of the three. I am trying to place the keyboard riff in the background, I feel like I've heard it before, almost an homage to something.

I think this song is missing a really good bridge or middle eight to break the monotony of the song up a little bit, but yeah, good tune. I dig it.

Thank you, was driving me crazy!!!

[It's Mike]

I really want to like these songs. But none of them are grabbing me at all.

Right album, wrong song.

Hallowed Be Thy Name for the win.

Agree on both points.

Definitely a throwback soundwise to the mid 80s. Enjoying it.

I guess this is the song that has closed most shows on the current tour. I’ve seen When It’s Love in there a few times as closer as well.

The guy sounds Amazing for a 70 year old! I give him an A for effort, sure wish my hero was doing stuff like this.

72 in October.

That’s crazy to me.

I really liked Black And Blue, AFU (Naturally Wired) and Source Of Infection the first time I heard them and those are still my 3 favorite songs from OU812.

AFU is top 3 songs from the Van Hagar era for me! Love that song.

Best of the three but....

The most positive thing I can say is it has a cool vibe to it but my god that is some lazy and mundane songwriting. Just chugs the same 8th note rhythym the whole way through, no changes predictable. Lazy.

Mike must really be loving the opportunity to "spread his wings" and return to the "arpeggiator" style that no doubt Ed taught him.

[Michaels]

this song is fantastic

[VH1986]

I love it. It's my favorite of the three.

Lazy songwriting? If it sounds good it is good.

Is the songwriting as lazy as going back to 35 year old songs and rerecording them?
