Late 60s was great for music like this, Im 61 yrs olds and still listen to rock n roll loud. This song was released in May 1968, the month I turned 13 yrs old. Loved then and still love it now.✌
Nicklaus Kindelberger we rescued her from the pound when she was 6 weeks old. She's 7 yrs old now. She's a great dog and has never hurt a flea. Pitts get a bad rap.
What else can be said? This is one of the great rock songs of all time. Say what you will for or against his politics and personality, but Ted Nugent has always been one helluva musician!
Shame on rolling stone magazine. Some years ago their list of the 100 greatest guitarists excluded Ted Nugent. Whose ldeology got in whose way? Rolling Stone's not fit to kiss a wart on Nugent's ass!
I was born way after the 60s, and even I know that older music is way better than todays music. Us Millennials, who like good music, have to listen to older music. There sure isn't any new good stuff that means anything. I was talking to my friends last weekend, and I brought that when you listen to 60s,70s,80s music, you can feel that generation. The music carries the generation, and what the mind set was, and what people were feeling and thinking. I asked what music spoke OUR generation. 50 years from now, what music are people going to listen to and feel my generation? NOTHING. Because none of the music has any meaning.
@@Michael-jw6et I love when younger people discover the wonderful music of the 60’s; that music is still good today, and you’re right; it’s the sound of a generation. I appreciate your insightful comments. Rock on!
& then after a monster solo career he becomes part of a super group known as The Damn Yankees where his guitar skills are yet once again displayed. Come again has such a killer riff & it sounded perfect live. Best concert I've seen. What else could it be though with 3 frontmen & MC on drums. They opened for Bad Company who I love. They should have just stayed back stage & enjoyed the Damn Yankees. Rock n roll high energy from start to finish as the dragged Ted off stage by his feet as he was playing. They had chemistry not to mention 4 outstanding musician/ entertainers.
Steve Farmer was a substitute teacher of mine back during my school days, it wasn't until like, two years after I graduated that I was aware that he was part of this band and WROTE this song. Looking back, it kind of all makes sense because I'm pretty sure he was still on some left over drugs from the 60s when he was subbing.
I still have this 45. I blasted it out and wore it out. I could actually play a lot of the guitar of this one. I saw them do this in concert in Michigan. What a wonderful time. :D
I was binge re-watching Six Feet Under. Nathaniel Senior, the dead dad was dancing to this song. I vaguely remembered it, but I just had to look it up and see what it was.
I can remember picking up the winter AM radio waves in my bedroom in central Pennsylvania when this song played for the first time over CKLW ("The Motor City"). Greg Arama's bass riff was hypnotizing - and then those searing notes from Ted Nugent's guitar. I stayed up every night for months waiting for it to air. Still get chills from it.
Disagree....?... What more could anyone ask for.. he is a killer guitar player and is a America freedom loving patriot that loves guns and grilling large pieces of game 👍.. it doesn't get any better then that !!
Ted's original heavy buzz lead guitar and his terrific accompanying riffs ironically complement the beautiful echoing vocal harmonies in this classic psychedelic hippy tune which can journey into anybody's far-out mind...✌
Certainly nothing like the crap that's out on the radio/iTunes/etc. today. Actual, world-class talent. Ted has his own show on RAV (Real America's Voice) and at 75, he still plays better than 90% of the guitarists out there today.
The lead solo on this psychedelic sounding track was so out there back then. The tone, the feedback, the notes... Never did drugs myself, but it was almost like a trip hearing this when I was a little kid. :-)
Yes it was an amazing time. So many things were being done for the first time. The first time. I don't know how to explain the feeling of freedom, the rush that anything was possible. It was overwhelming. It felt like an entire old word was being broken up, and a new one rushing in. There has been nothing like it since then. Not even close.
This song is a classic in every sense of the word. If memory serves me, Ted Nugent was the guitarist who put this song on the map of great classic rock. In any every sense, this song is Rock and Roll Hall of fame music. The instrumental break still makes the hair on my neck stand up
Back in 1968 ...... I was 14 ...... Heard about this band that was coming to the neighborhood in Queens at the time to our church and all the kids my age were gonna be there ..... It was the Amboy Dukes ...... little did I know that as I got close to the stage that I was looking at a Young Ted Nugent. and they played ..... journey to the center of your mind. All I got to say is that I was glad to have seen it .
I used to play this song at work on Fridays on a Bose Acoustic Wave Radio. I would save 10% of the volume for the guitar bridge/break at 2:00 and crank it all of the way up for 37 seconds or so. Pure magic.
Love Evil Dead... knew I would love the series when it opened on Space Trucking... then it ended on mid-air chainsaw decapitation and this blasting and it sealed the deal
If there's 1 song that's light years ahead of all others, you're listening to it right here. And the always electrifying Ted Nugent on lead guitar. This song is from 1968! Yeah 1968. One bad-ass song. STILL! 56 YEARS LATER.
You feel and remember the Summer of 1968 when you listen to this song and if you lived back then. I was 12 then but got hooked on this song quick. Memories...
Never knew till today that this was Nugent plus.. I owned this album as a kid in 75. Only looked it up because Stephen King mentioned the word in the preamble to Salems Lot which I am just now reading.
Hi Denise, we don't know each other, but couldn't help but notice your last name. I once owned a car that was previously owned by a gentleman named Pfaff. Very rare last name! Now, let's get back to the music :)
John L Wow, John!!! Crazy!! I once owned a car that was owned by someone who knew my neighbors Sister-in-Law’s Brother’s Girlfriend’s Uncle Billy Bob! Small world huh?
WOW and WOWSER ! 1968 sandwiched in between 1967's "Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" and"Magical Mystery Tour" and "On her Majesty's Satanic Request" all in 1967 Ruled IN Prog-art ROCK..! Followed by '69 WOODSTOCK....HARD ROCK "the WHO" and "Ten Years After" WOW..!!
I used to take musshhhrrroooms and listen to this song in the early 80s kisw Seattle s best rock Steve slatons electric lunch Psycadelic music from the late 60s and70$ cheers God speed
I saw him in sioux city Iowa around 1970 when he was still with Amboy dukes. There were about 150 people there and I stood front and center in front of 34 ampeg speakers on a full purple Microdot. It most certainly blew my mind!!!
Used to Blast this, along with the Doobie Brother's 'Rocking Down the Highway' on my radio while driving back to school in the 70's! They are among the Best long distance / highway driving songs ever written, IMHO! Ahh, Those memories!!
