Big & Rich spent some time with rocker Sammy Hagar, hosting him in Nashville. The flamboyant country stars took the high-octane rock legend inside their palatial Nashville homes, and you won't quite believe how they live when they're not on the road entertaining their fans.

Both John Rich and "Big" Kenny Alphin live incredibly well in their staggering Nashville homes, but their tastes and styles are just about as different as they could possibly be. The video below, from AXS TV's YouTube channel, begins at Alphin's house, a stately Nashville mansion that looks like a European stone castle.

Alphin's 18,449-square-foot, eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom stone residence includes a fully equipped professional recording studio, formal dining room, formal library, and a wine cellar designed to hold up to 1,000 bottles, as well as a tasting room. There is also a home gym, a four-story bell tower with expansive views, and even an original 1800s-era Irish pub, which was transported to Nashville with its original stained-glass doors and ceiling intact. The luxurious estate also boasts saltwater pools, fountains, a jacuzzi, and an elevator, making it a haven for relaxation and entertainment.
