Saw them for the first time in L.A. Whiskey 1976. Bruce Gary was one of the fastest drummers out there and impeccably well timed. Great band, RIP Bruce and Doug.
I've never heard a band sound as close to their recorded music as The Knack. I read somewhere that it was simply because they recorded the songs the exact same way they had been performing them in the clubs. It's great to see a band that meets/exceeds your expectations.
I saw this band in the summer of 1987 at the catalyst in Santa Cruz Northern California!! And by the way the original lineup was at the catalyst at that time!!! Rest in peace Bruce and the lead singer!
Abs luv this song If u read Dougs explanation of the " creepy " lyrics it makes sense Never gets old Makes me long for my youth Stil gets my motor running ❤️
What a great live tune. They could have turned Fieger's guitar up, especially during the solo. Flawless performance. Underrated band. Great lead guitar.
Make sure you hear it with the guitar riffs, because their timing is always the same as the original recording. If you listen to this for the first time, you'll see what you missed in the 70's. Although this song hit it big in very early 1980, but the 70's had it all music wise. Ask your Momma. Love to all of you. Nothing but good health and happiness.(3 more great riffs, Come and get your love( with the Native Dance in the beginning), Smoke on the Water, Indian reservation(Paul Revere and the Raiders)
Betts must have been inspired in his turn by some Scotsman's piper, because parts of those progressions are from Scottish traditional pieces for bagpipes.
the song more honestly ... sexually speaking....cheerful you can write to a girlfriend...i always thought of Doug Fieger looked like someone and after doing the swirling,,, walk to the guitarist from the who....besides having a look something Beatles.....this song will be at my funeral
