  • Huey Lewis & The News came to Germany for a gig at the E-Werk in Cologne in 1991. The blooded musicians from San Francisco did a terrific show playing the highlights of their albums "Picture This", "Sports" "Fore!" and "Hard at Play".
    With a mixture of rock 'n roll and rhythm 'n blues, frontman Hugh Anthony Cregg III and his five band members gave an authentic music presentation to the audience.
    This is a great version of their song "I want a new drug" which is introduced by a long guitar solo from Chris Hayes.

      My Daddy worked for a local catering company when their band came to town. He had the awesome opportunity to meet Huey Lewis. My Dad said that guy was one of the nicest people he'd ever met. Idk. Back in the 80's, music was not complicated, didn't sugar-coat a thing and just plain simply straight up. I'll stop at that.

    Chris is a great, solid musician. At a time when many of his colleagues were sporting spandex, make-up and volumes of Final Net, Chris was rocking with his good friends - an excellent band with no weird break-ups or drama. I seriously doubt that any of the authors of goofy negative "opinions" posted below have measured up to this type and quantity of success, while remaining a genuinely cool human being, like Chris.

    Chris comes from a very musically gifted family. His older sister is Bonnie Hayes, the composer and recording star, and his brother, Kevin, was the drummer for the Robert Cray Band. I worked with Chris' other brother, Sean, and their other sister, Roseanne, in a real estate development office my brother owned in Carmichael, CA back in 1989. The only funny story I remember that Sean told was about how Chris was cleaning behind his bed one day and found a $65,000 check for a concert, and said "Oh, so that's where that went!" Sean and Roseanne were cool to work with and you could definitely see the family resemblance to Chris.

    Wow, all these songs bring back so much memories, back in the 80’s I was madly in love with Chris Hayes & damn how he plays that bass & how hot he is.

    I'm 51 now and still sing this one. timeless it is, and true as well. I want a new drug, Pot is still the best, I think I will go do a few bong hits and play this again. P>S> thanks for putting this up.

    Amazingly versatile solo. I never realised how much Chris Hayes influenced the sound of the band.

    I've always liked Chris Hayes but I didn't realize how good of a guitarist he was.
