I was going to say the same. I can't believe they didn't comment on that fire drum beat. Just fantastic and it kept the song moving at a galloping pace that just never stopped...
David Teegarden laid down one track, then overdubbed another track on top of that. It makes it sound like there's 2 drummers. You can tell where every other snare hit is slightly out of time. It was an awesome feature for the song's beat.
What else is there to say about the great Bob Seger, that we all haven't said many times before? A staple of 70s Rock music, and a great storyteller. Glad I grew up listening to 60s and 70s Classic Rock. Throw in that Motown sound, and some R&B as well. We were spoiled. Tanks guys!
Dusty, you hit the nail on the head.. it was the apex of quality, quantity along with variety.. 60s and 70s, the two greatest decades for music.. Those musicians,,singers,lyricists,etc born in the 1940s through the early 50s dominated the music scene and produced legendary music, masterpieces.. unmatched and sadly we will never see the likes of it again! So glad I was there for most of it!
We really were lucky growing up with this music on the radio, or the 8-track, or cassette...those were the heady days of what would later become..."Classic Rock" Rock ON!!!
Fame, riches, romance it's all fleeting. Seger knows how to put it all together lyrically and in sound. You are right Seger does not miss. You can't go wrong with the Silver Bullet Band and Bob Seger.
I live between Detroit and Ann Arbor where Seger grew up. In this area Seger is royalty - truly revered. Glen Frey got to know and play with Seger while Frey was still in Highschool. Seger wanted Frey to go on tour with him, but Frey's mom wouldn't let him. They remained good friend's till Frey's death.
Yes! I loved The Ark! It was the last place I got together with my buddy, Rick Danko! We had a bit of a party in his tour bus, then Rick died just months later. Long live Detroit rock’n roll! Peace
One of the great American singer/songwriters of the seventies and eighties.....telling us stories of how we live our lives here, what can happen to us and how we feel.....and the memories of it all!
The woman in the song is Fame. The relentless forward motion of the music represents the the wild ride that the Midwestern Boy goes on, the non-stop rush, a ride that cannot be controlled.
Bob Seger ... WHAT A VOICE!!! I saw him in concert in the late 1970s, and he blew the roof off that place! Mind-bending voice, and an astounding songwriter.
What drew me in first and foremost was that drum beat. Throw in the lyrics and you got 🔥. By far my favorite song from Seger. Go back and listen to the precision of the drumming. OMFG! This song just smokes from start to finish.
Bob is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. And, I have never found a bad song on any of his albums. Hearing him brings back memories of seeing him live in 76. I was 16 watching one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life! What a national treasure.
Bob is an American treasure with all his stories, great music, and exceptional vocals!A truly great album is this one; Stranger In Town with this song Old Time Rock’n Roll and many more great songs!
Its a fast story about fast times that leave you broken hearted and you don't even know what just happened. The tempo of the song is critical to the tension of the story.
Excellent analysis of a Classic Bob Seger tune. If you're going to deep dive I'll recommend, "Roll Me Away", "Even Now" + "Feel Like A Number" three rockers w great stories.
As a Detroit native, the album Live Bullet was issued to me at 9 years old. Now in Los Angeles this song has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, LOL! Spot on with your review but I'd add that without the music framing the story so well, Bob wouldn't shine like he does here. Love the title. American Savage! Great work as always gentlemen, thanks!
La and Che you bros are on a roll.. You’re like the Tom Brady led Patriots where you just keep hitting us with huge wins! Been rolling with you guys since the beginning, love your style guys!! The crazy thing is there is so much more great music that you guys are going to experience in the coming days. When I watch your channel I feel like I’m hanging with good friends and I can’t wait to see you experience another banger by a legendary band.. witnessed your baptism with The Dan, Zeppelin, The Stones and Pink Floyd!Just to name a few! It was a pleasure watching you guys truly comprehending the magnitude of what you just listened to!!
Haven't looked it up on your channel but if you haven't checked out "Roll me Away" by Bob Seger your going to LOVE IT, another great story, guaranteed "banger"❗️❗️
I'm old enough that I recall Seger first coming on the scene nationally; I was hooked on his music IMMEDIATELY. Been a fan ever since. So glad you're catching up to him. He has SO MANY bangers!
Bob Seger is one of those artists who was under the mainstream eyeballs for years. He’d been playing since the 70s , churning out songs that everyone knows, but don’t realize who it is. Another Detroit artist he took under his wing before he went out on his own was Glen Frey of the Eagles before the Eagles. The Eagles were 70s, that’s enough to let you know of Segers longevity.
Bob can definitely give off different vibes and tell good stories Fire down below is a good one and Sunspot baby is kinda funny Glad you are here to enjoy all this music and share your thoughts with us!!!
Seen him play late afternoon at a horse race track in 1974. He and his band were backing up BTO. He had it then. It was the first time I really heard, "Turn The Page", it was rough and not like the radio version, but his voice drew me in. We were sitting front row with our girls, on July hot asphalt beside a local Disc Jockey who kept looking at them. I was trying to roll a Mexican Hindenburg by sticking two rolling papers together. The DJ bumped my elbow and said, "Try these", very large long and pink rolling papers that worked great. Soon a cloud blew onto the stage from where we were sitting and Bob in the middle of, "Stealin" breathed deep and laughed saying something off mic to his guys.
loved ya'll story about Hollywood and LA. My sister lives there and I go visit from here in Baton Rouge and I can't wait to get home after a few days there.
Great song, great reaction--you guys definitely got it. The way I heard it, this song is autobiographical, and The Eagles (actually J.D. Souther) wrote New Kid In Town about Seger arriving and fame turning to him. If you haven't reacted to it, it's a great, classic record, and I think you would dig it: "You're walking away, and they're talking behind you They will never forget you, til somebody new comes along" Thanks for having me along. All the best to you and your family.
Saw an interview years ago with the producer or engineer or something who was part of this. They finished recording late one evening, and he had a raw tape of the recording, which he listened to driving home. At one point, cruising along, he noticed that he was going 100 - realized right then that this would be a hit.
Now that was a reaction! So glad you two shared where it took ya. 😄 I suppose the main problem now, worse than what you describe about then, is that Hollywood is a boarded up tent city.
Long time Seger fan here in the UK. If you're looking for a track that is lyrically strong, rhythmically dynamic and that seems to have escaped the attention of the RU-vid reaction hordes, check out "The Fire Inside". A true banger imho. Love you boys and your appreciation of the sounds of my youth. 👍
American savage, love it. Bob is a Detroit guy. Some good ones out of Detroit. Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, and Grand Funk Railroad ( Really from Flint but close enough ). Thanks guys.
I agree with all the great comments here! I honestly didn't appreciate Bob Seger enough in the 70's / 80's. We were so jaded with SO MUCH great music it was unbelievable. Now he is an American rock legend in my mind.
I am not a huge Seger fan, but this is a good song. Ironically, I live in Hollywood FL, but I did live in Glendale for about a year when I was younger, so it does have more meaning. anyways, consider yourself lucky to grow up in that lovely place. still the same is another great song by seger.
If you were born in the '60's & grew up in the '70's there was hardly a party you could go to where they didn't break out Live Bullett. Turn The Page, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Nutbush City... hard to go wrong with that album.
I only saw him once in concert but it was a great show. He has lots of hits and I know you have hit some. I suggest you do “ Her Strut” if you haven’t heard it.
Roll Me Away would be my choice for Bob Seger songs that speak directly to me...Even got to do as the song describes a couple of times. You guys are gonna be doing this for a long time....
