Hagar, Sammy - Devil Came To Philly Lyrics






Well, the devil came to Philly
All lean, mean and green
With bags of gold and silver
Bustin' out the seams
He never told us anything
But we all did what he said
With a brand-new concept
And now we pay to play
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Well, the devil came through Philly
Then headed way out West
And we listen and don't say nothing
That's how he like it best
Stopped in California, Denver along the way
To Fort Knox, Kentucky to stash it all away

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hagar, Sammy Devil Came To Philly Comments
  1. L.... L....

    .... hell yeah!!!!!!! ....... crank it!!!!!!!!

  2. S.... 5....

    I can’t even find where to buy cds any more. I miss the 80s, go buy a cassette and listen to it in my room while looking at the inserts.

  3. W.... 7....

    Good stuff right here..Nuff said.

  4. Y.... D....

    Thank god someone is still putting out rock and roll!

  5. S.... M....

    Sammy is the man.... I didn't think he was right for VH (VH is David Lee Roth - not even Eddie....) just because I didn't feel like it was "his" band. But the rest of his career - golden showers for all!

  6. N.... A....

    Yall should listen to "The Devil Came from Kansas" from Procol Harum. :https://youtu.be/viWLB_Hb7Oc

  7. J.... D....

    Saw these guys last night. Fantastic show! I expected them to sound good but they sounded great and they started earlier than advertised. Almost 3 hours of great music. Sammy is a showman. Was very skeptical of an outdoor show in a small town being a good venue but they rocked it on a perfect night. Check these guys out if you have a chance to see them live.

  8. t.... ....

    Hmm, sounds a lot like an old Procol Harum track:

  9. m.... ....

    Love it this is much better than Trust fund baby, I imagine the lyrics Probably has something to do with the music industry

  10. A.... L....

    I feel like this song was never finished and it was just getting ready to throw the second verse which I could see alot harder sounding. I hope when they do this one live- they will add more to it. I think this sound could really rock through and through.

    A.... L....

    Abtex Corporation Couldn’t agree more. When I first heard it I thought “where’s the rest?”

  11. J.... N....

    Eddie really painted himself in a corner this time. Sammy and the Circle now have a honest to God *Rock and Roll* album out and are touring the country. In the meantime Eddie has a lineup sitting in their living rooms that includes a frontman that looks and sings like a man who is gigging weekends at the downtown Ramada Inn and a bass player who is pedestrian at best.
    Eddie's pride means he needs to do something to top what Sammy is doing but any album this weak a## version of VH puts out will sound pathetic in comparison.

  12. E.... N....

    Kick ass vocals as always , band sounds great

  13. K.... ....

    Wtf......I fell asleep.

  14. C.... G....

    And to hell with anybody that will keep you down and keep you stupid knowledge is power

  15. C.... G....

    I have been in the school of rock my entire life and thank fucking God for it

  16. o.... ....

    Musically this tune is very close to the 1969 PROCOL HARUM song "The Devil Came From Kansas".
    Is there a copyright lawsuit in SAMMY's future?

  17. T.... J....

    I'm loving all the new tunes but can we pick up the tempo on one or two...I need some edge to my rock and roll.

    T.... J....

    Expected more jammin songs!!

  18. M.... B....

    This is amazing! Best new rock in years, and Sammy's best in a long time.

  19. J.... H....

    Scream it. You can't help it.

  20. L.... ....

    Sounds great Sammy can’t wait to see ya guys live 🤟🏻❤️🥰🤟🏻❤️🥰🤟🏻❤️🥰🤟🏻❤️🥰🤟🏻❤️🥰🤟🏻❤️🥰🤟🏻

  21. K.... P....

    LoL. He did indeed.

  22. B.... D....

    Got the new album today and it's a masterpiece just buy it .

  23. S.... ....

    Definitely not Sammy’s best lyrical effort

    S.... ....

    I think he sounds great for his age and a long rock star life style

  24. S.... ....

    Excelente album, só falta vir ao Brasil né. sucesso sempre

    S.... ....

    E não é que eles anunciaram essa semana?

  25. K.... Y....

    Sammy, Mike, Vic and Jason... who better?.... what?

  26. M.... B....

  29. T.... N....

  30. A.... S....

    SAMMY you are my man. I love you guys your music rocks and never gets old. ROCK ON. SAMMY AND THE CIRCLE🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

  31. D.... M....

    Excellent band

  32. R.... F....

    Lovin it Sammy THANK YOU

  33. m.... w....

    Ron Paul approves.

  34. m.... w....

    Awesome Groove. Love this song.

  35. J.... J....

    Just realized that this album is gonna be a concept album, I’m very excited to hear it all the way through!

  36. T.... T....

    Nice tune!

  37. W.... ....

    Van Halen gets rid of Sammy and all they have done since is 2 crap studio albums! Sammy has put out 11 studio albums in that time. Guess we all know who the writing talent of VH was!

    W.... ....

    Carey Peak musically VH is better but what have they done in the last 20 years. Oh yeah, 3 songs on a greatest hits album and one full album. Pretty much nothing.

    W.... ....

    And that one album is leaps and bounds better than everything Sammy has done combined. Van Halen shits greatness, Sammy creates mediocrity, and tons of it!

    W.... ....

    Besides, why are we so concerned with what old rock stars do when they are old, I care more about what they did in their prime.

    W.... ....

    Then move along and spread your bitter, immature ugliness somewhere else

    W.... ....

    Carey Peak ADKOT is greatness? I mean there’s some great guitar playing, it’s EVH, but the vocals from Roth suck complete ass on that album, no power and his tone is way off, MA is sorely missed on the backing vocals, and besides 3-4 songs it sounds exactly like what you’d expect... That is, a ton of stuff Eddie didn’t feel was good enough to record 30 years ago.

    You and Your Blues is good, Chinatown is good, She’s the Woman is classic VH and would be awesome if Dave could sing. Other than that and the solo on Tattoo, you can have it.

    Mousewife to momshell? That’s a little cringe man.

    At least Sammy puts good stuff out and not every 15 years.

  38. F.... G....

    Great song!

  39. A.... M....

    Can't wait im sitting here all ready to here this Sammy ✌👍😁

  40. K.... '....

    Just saw Sammy and the Circle last night in Burbank. At the iHeartRadio show. WHAT A KICK ASS SHOW !!! He made a fuss over my Montrose album then changed the set list to include Rock Candy for "My Brother who brought this Montrose album and had been showing it to me all evening"

    THANKS SAMMY

    K.... '....

    Oh and seen them in Bakersfield do this song, GREAT STUFF!

  41. D.... A....

    Ven a Sudamérica Sammy y the circle.

  42. T.... M....

    RED ROCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. p.... o....

    Yo, The Circle! Please gig the UK!
    Most of my favourite bands exist only in the past now; old albums... no new music anymore.
    But The Circle are Right Here - Right Now! My favourite band in existence.
    Mikey's harmony vocals, part of Van Halen's signature sound, perfectly balanced with Sammy & Vic's twin guitar attack, straight out of The Wabos, plus the concussive percussion of the Mad Hatter himself, Jason Bonham, punctuating Mikey's pounding bass, and topped with Sammy's scorching lead vocal... yes, he's still on top of his game..., and the result is a genuine Rock band that really has it all. The Circle are the real deal!
    I hope they come to England!

  44. S.... M....

    Yeah buddy 👨🏻‍🚀✨🛸
