Hagar on steroids? Is this a good thing?
932272
I agree with most of the HONEST reviews; it sounds like a Sammy album - Cheesy lyrics, screaching, yelping; we all have all heard from before. The salvation here is the steroids themselves - Mike Anthony & Chad Smith> Both sound great; and at times makes this palatable. Super Joe moments are far and few. I don't know if Van Halen is ever going to do another album; but clearly they will MISS Anthony - BIG TIME! Say what you want about Sammy & Joe, BUT Chickenfoot has a Kick Ass rhythm section

Luckily, I never bought Best of Vol I. So this is a better value for me than others. I am satisfied with the song selection from the Roth era, which is the only thing I was interested in. Like others have noted, Roth and Hagar each serve a different audience that have little in common. Roth VH caters to the traditional long-haired hard rock demographic of the early-80s and Hagar VH is for the trimmed and primped top 40 radio audience.

 Bearing the above in mind, that brings me to my main beef with this compilation - why on earth did they interlace each track with a different vocalist, i.e. Roth, Hagar, Roth, Hagar, Roth, Hagar, etc. That is beyond annoying! You have to buy both disks with the package. Why does the record company care if you only end up listening to one of them? They still get their money. It's like they're telling me "you better listen to Sammy, too, or he might feel bad."

 Now I have to burn all the Roth tracks on to a CD-R in order to avoid pressing the skip button on my stereo remote every four minutes (not to mention switching from disk 1 to disk 2). The three new tracks are not very impressive. The guitar playing is heavier but sounds tuned way down. The lyrics are completely moronic. Way immature for guys in their fifties. I would rather have 'Beat It' on here than 'Up for Breakfast.'

 Not worth $20 in my estimation. (I got it for $14.99 by the way.)

Seems everytime someone has a career spanning retrospective release, someone's GOTTA say "Where's this?" or "How could you POSSIBLY put out a best of collection and NOT include...?" Keep in mind folks, this is a retrospective, not aboxed set of the band's complete works...they can't include EVERYTHING or the price would be over the top...from the reviews I've read on this, I conclude that one mastering error would be nice to clean up with the next pressing of this collection, but the people complaining about the omission of "Me Wise Magic" and stuff like that...if they're a FAN, they already have that one on Best Of Volume One. Stop complaining and enjoy the music...as for me, I like the Hagar years...they seemed to be more of a team effort instead of a front man who seemed to be screaming "Look at me" and a strong backup band giving him way more than they needed to given his ego...not saying he wasn't good...it just seemed like Sammy was more interested in the team than his own interests. Yes, he left for awhile but you may recall, it was down to him wanting to release an all-new album after Balance and not a greatest-hits collection. All that said, I'm glad they settled their differences. Welcome back boys...long overdue and here's to the future!

I'm taking this for its antiglycolytic and mitochondrial health improvement potential. I do have some very mild arthritis pain, so maybe I'll get some side benefit there, too. As with most supplements, claiming definitive beneficial effect over a short timeframe can be a dubious claim.  What I can definitely say at this point is that I tolerate it well, no problems with the taste or consistency when incorporated into my normal beverage concoctions, and no digestive distress. As to the benefits I'm looking for, more time is needed for results to become apparent.

I was never a big enough fan of the band to buy an album. I don't go for theatrics, etc, and I reacted badly to David Lee Roth's excesses (and some of Eddie's, too). I prefer the Hagar era. This is a great compilation, however, that highlights some really great rock songs. They really are a talented band, and I had a lot of fun listening to this double-disc. I was put off by the cut off ending of "Finish What Ya Started," but I wonder...is it a joke related to the theme/title of the song? How did it end on OU812? Two of the new songs are okay...the breakfast one was a little too hokey for me. I thought the live tracks were cool to emphasize that Hagar was a good replacement for DLR, and can handle "Panama," etc. There's definitely a "hit formula" that Van Halen used over and over again...but, hey, these are some of the best power ballads around. (Love Comes Walkin' In, Higher, When It's Love, etc). And who doesn't like "Right Now"???? I would've like to hear one track from Van Halen III with singer Gary Cherone (ex-Extreme singer) just to give a nod to the fact that they had that album. They don't mention that era in the liner notes OR list it in the discography that lists ALL their other albums. There must've been ONE good song on there, right?!?!?!!?

A lot of redundancy, I assume to get the points across.  I am a nurse, by profession, but always open to more natural ways of combating health issues.  I am going to implement his strategies in my own life, to see where they lead.  I am particularly interested in his proprietary formula to get the thyroid, adrenal, pituitary triad back in sync.

Good!  I really liked it.

But where I'm coming from, might be why.  I am on month3 of "less sodium, less fat, less sugar..."  I seem to need much less salt on my food than before, I hear that is normal - that your palette adjusts.  I really thought this was super salty, which I enjoyed, and it's pretty darn healthy.  My friend; however, thought it lacked salt - he's not on any healthy binge.

So maybe that is why there is such a difference in reviews, it is what you are used to.

I am a half-@ss exerciser.  My motto is "Do what you can, when you can." And i apply that to everything. I prefer workouts that i can do in my own home, so i was a little disappointed that most of his recommendations required gym equipment. I like the idea of the bear and the bunny reps - definitely will do that. I also plan to try a scoop of sexy. ;) I wonder what his thoughts are on vitamins? I also docked a star because he kinda dissed marathon runners (I've done a half and never felt sexier). I would take Kara Goucher's figure any day!!

HGH:AGE-REVERSING MIRACLE by Rita Elkins is fairly typical of the recent spate of books that details the promised land of eternal youth.  The problem is not that Ms. Elkins is deliberately telling untruths.  In fact, much of what she reports is pretty straightforward and backed by current research.  Ms. Elkins implies strongly that the benefits of HGH--lean body muscle, dramatic weight loss, suppleness of skin, improved sex life--are all based on the most optimistic of events, namely that one has done his homework and has chosen the HGH most suitable for him, that he takes this HGH under a doctor's knowledge and care, that he combines taking HGH with a sensible diet, moderate exercise, and a low-stress life style.  The glowing claims for HGH as noted by one reviewer for this book on Amazon. Com may be in fact true for that person, yet such claims are anecdotal.  Perhaps those who are most satisfied with HGH and have encountered the most amazing results are also the ones who were most predisposed to success in the first place.  My recommendation is that books such as this one ought to be only the starting point towards an HGH education.  HGH:AGE-REVERSING MIRACLE will put you on what may the right path, but whether you stay on it depends more on you than on a little white pill.

I watched the whole drawn out video..... wow.... that was the longest pitch for a product I have ever listened too.... too many inconsistencies,not disputing that dr. Grundy is a very smart man, he is a great business man, for people who listen might think that all the information on the internet by a doctor must be correct. As said in other reviews do your recsearch. One red flag I will mention is The part about H pilori.... the supposedly good bacteria! Well I will tell you this is not a good bacteria I had this infection in my gut and had to endure multiple rounds of Anti biotics to get rid of it so I wouldn't develop ulcers or cancer.... this is not something you want in your gut, contrary to what dr. Grundy is saying. Do your research before spending hundreds of dollars on crap.

I've used alot of supplements. This actually works. Give it a couple weeks and you will feel great. No placebo. DHEA is the main ingredient. I'm old as dirt, and I approve this message.

Dr. Hyman uses research to support everything he says in his book, Eat Fat, Get Thin.  I've followed Dr. Hyman for a few years by watching his "House Calls" and the Fat Summit.  He's practical while being passionate about health.  You will get more information than perhaps you want or need, but you certainly won't be unsure whether his position is sound.  Here's to your good health.

I have been using Dr Miller's tea for several years and it has been good for my digestion and regularity. When I had to use steroids for a medical condition I did not experience the bloating and weight gain that normally goes with that type of medication.

My dog has Cushing's Disease.  He was diagnosed with it two years ago.  Mr. Fussy doesn't suggest he tastes it and it blends in nicely with his food.  Although he's on other meds, his numbers are doing beautifully and we are very pleased.  And the price is good too!  It's a great alternative to the other meds his Vet was talking about.  When his Vet mentioned this, he said he has heard and read good reviews.  We're all happy with it!

this guy's voice reminds me of Dana Carvey doing his George H.W. Bush imitation on Saturday Night Live a quarter century ago. And I swear at one point he lets loose with an orgasmic groan: "Just try to feel the bliss.. OH, YEAH, UUUGGGHHHH!"

Hmmm, I guess in fairness I should mention that I thought the level one "workout"--if you can call it that--was pretty enjoyable and relaxing aside from the issues noted above, which kept making me want to crack up throughout the routine. Not sure that's very good for my chakras.

Namaste, my beaches!

HGH (human growth hormone) is quite the topic these days.  You could be talking about athletes, bodybuilding, weight loss, or simply the anti-aging community.  "HGH" (and everything that surrounds it) is seemingly discussed ad nauseum.

The problem is disinformation.

The discussions that go on in the bodybuilding world don't apply to the anti-aging community (for the most part) and more.  At the same time, many are confusing HGH with steroids (they're not the same thing by a long shot).  Even worse, people are confusing natural supplementation and increasing the body's natural growth hormone levels with injecting synthetic versions directly into the body.

Not good.

If you're of the kind that is looking for info on naturally increasing HGH levels in your body without crazy synthetics, prescriptions, or the like, Darin's report is for you.

It's not a long report by any means, so don't expect a scientific journal when you get it.  However, it *is* a virtually perfect introduction on how the "regular person" can change and adapt their lifestyle in order to increase their own body's GH production.

As someone who has spent 20+ years in the fitness industry myself, I'd recommend this to anyone as a great primer on how to improve your own HGH levels.

You generally get what you deserve when buying a Seagal movie.  This time he had some help from another action figure and he does that a lot....Steven is getting a little too much age and weight on him to handle an action movie on his own, so I don't blame him.  I probably have most of his movies and like a lot of his fans, we keep waiting for the great one to have a five star movie....oh well.
