Los_Control Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) All I got to say about that kk I say a little more ... one day got out of night school and driving home ... Had a lil Triumph spitfire with a huge arse toyota 1800cc dual overhead cam twin 2 barrels and headers and a 5spd and a yuuuge stereo .... Top down and just opened her up. Some camaro driving side by side on the freeway. We cruised at over 100mph for about 10 miles listening to this song. Not racing, just young and stupid.

He said a lot of people out there didn't like Chuck because of the restaurant thing and he said he wouldn't play a Chuck Berry song. Then one night we were sitting in a club listening to them and what do you know, there's a Chuck Berry lick! If you play rock and roll you play Chuck Berry. "Carol", "Nadine", "You Can't Catch Me", "Too Much Monkey Business", "School Days", "Wee Wee Hours", "Reeling and Rocking", every one a classic. It was one of the best experiences s in my life getting to see him at The Duck Room, the whole crowd shouting "Go, go, go Little Queenie!!" with Chuck ten feet away wailing on his 335.. Nobody was better than Chuck. He may have been a buttcrack,but he was one talented buttcrack! Quote

Sniper Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Anything by AC/DC would get me a speeding ticket in my youth, no cruise control back then. I hated the 55mph speed limit. Now days, my tastes vary but I can't drive 55 will always bring a smile to my face. And PA is spot on with the DJ comment, especially Alan Hunter. Quote
T120 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Another song that comes to mind, might cause a person to step on it...Ram Jam - Black Betty. lol Quote
oldodge41 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 No radio in the '41. But the song that would get me in trouble back in the day when I had some fast cars is Springsteen's "Born to run" ! Quote
Sniper Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 Ran out to the store in the 51, my first drive since The Snow. I can't drive 55 came on, it's an omen I tell you. 1 Quote
'41 Fat Bottom Girl Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Posted February 21, 2021 Yessss- An omen to drive, man, drive! That was an ode to the 55 mph max "fuel conservation" with the USA gas shortage- Remember even or odd days had to match your last even or odd license plate number in order to gas up? And sitting in lines hoping to get gas before the station ran out? That was the end of the "gas war" years when stations fought each other for the lowest prices. Then, a couple bucks for gas could keep you draggin' the main all evening... So glad Sammy kept on after splitting with Ronnie Montrose- Always wished they had done a third album together...Never forget the first time I heard "Bad Motor Scooter" either. Thanx for the reminder, Sniper. In fact, thanx to everybody for the the song reminders. I am having to spend some money adding to my tunes collection! Great fun. A lot of my old LPs are long gone. Rock and Roll, R&B, Motown, Soul, Country, the Blues and all- it kept us rolling and full of life through one of the most amazing periods in time, all over the world. Motorheads Forever! 1 Quote
58prostreet Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 T120-If you like Black Betty, check the version by Spider Bait. Look at the Vimeo version-there is a pretty cool, what looks to be a33 or 34 plymouth convertible.. Bob 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) man I am going to crawl back under my rock..where you folks coming up with this (so called) music? Where is Jake and Elwood when you need them....Joliet? ? Edited February 21, 2021 by Plymouthy Adams Quote

'41 Fat Bottom Girl Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Posted February 21, 2021 Jake and Elwood saved me from (sorry, Sat. Nite Fever fans) the era of Disco... Trying to get a club gig playing R&R in those days was almost impossible, even in the SF Bay Area... I think the beauty of music is that most of us have a wide circle of tastes in music -and some part of that usually intersects with other person's circles of tastes. There is almost always some foot-stompin' tunes we can agree on! Cruising the open road just listening to the machine and the road itself, or to music is a shared love for sure. There's nothing like hitting the road with our vintage iron. Quote
58prostreet Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 Google seasick steve baracuda 68. this guy has been around a long time and he has music to suit all kinds of tastes. He does a song called "Can't teach old dog new tricks". Uses a guitar made from crosley hub caps. PA, check this guy out. I'm prettysure you can find something you will like. Quote

This wouldn't be,by any chance,the blues musician "Seasick Steve" that was touring in Europe several years ago,would it. He was phenomonel! Quote
58prostreet Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 That's him. Very talented. He's also one of us old guys. I think early or mid 70's . Drummer is really good. Looks like the cookie monster. John Paul Jones from Led Zepplin plays bass with him sometimes. Quote
Sniper Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 My musical tastes range wide. Heck I was listening to Devil Doll last night, a rockabilly group. Sometimes I even listen to disco, the horror! lol Quote

oldodge41 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 I can listen to almost any music. No rap though. Not music to me, reminds me of a car I once had, just before it threw a rod. Not a pleasing noise to me. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 I can listen to a variety of music...some genre I like more than others...some I detest and will not ever listen to. Even at that, I have to be in the mood for some music and I can honestly say I do not like all songs of my favorite artists....I pick and chose and why I create discs etc as road tunes when traveling depending on my mood. I will go without music before I will listen to a broadcast... Quote

I got into blues pretty heavily in the '80's but I can get into some pretty hard rock, too; even metal if the synapses are short-circuited just right. My kid's a drummer and one of his friends who's sadly no longer with us played bass with Roomful of Blues, Fabulous T-Birds, Jimmie Vaughan, etc. and I got a better appreciation for The Meters and New Orleans music because of him. He really liked Louisiana swamp rock. They loved Matilda by Cookie and the Cupcakes. I didn't get into jazz even when I lived in New Orleans back in the '60's. You can see the kid's old buddy playing bass in this video a few years before the kid met him. I gotta admit I never cared much for Kim Wilson's voice but he's great on harp!! Quote

Ahhhh,Stevie Ray Vaughn! THE greatest guitar player of all time. When he puts on his "stank face",the blues go to a whole new level. His brother Jimmy ain't bad either,but even he knows he ain't in little brother's league. Edited February 22, 2021 by knuckleharley Quote

If you haven't heard of them,you owe it to yourself to check them out. Quote
plymjim Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 Of course we love the beep beep song! But the one that makes me put the pedal to the metal is Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston (correct spelling?). Anything on the Sun label works too. How many MOPAR tunes are out there?
