Beautiful drum roller from the KPM music library… Found yesterday in The Little Record Shop, Hornsey London.
This was the one i used to play, but it seemed like a lot of other djs were a fan of this one from a different album.
This one isn’t exactly ‘funky’ - more ‘dubby’, perhaps? But it’s certainly heavy!
I never thought I’d ever own an album by Republican gun-nut Ted Nugent, but this track sounds amazing. The tone on the bass guitar, and those drums…
It’s really only the second half where it gets interesting, it’s basically a heavy metal Macho City, innit? I was a bit surprised when someone played me it many moons ago!
Ha! Yes, it is! Couldn’t believe it when I first heard it. The drums and bass really do it for me - Ted’s guitar almost gets in the way. Apparently the whole album was intended to be by the newly formed Ted Nugent Band, but the label put it out under his name without telling the others - the first they knew was when they read about it on the press. That track was co-written by his bass player, but all writing credits were claimed by Nugent. What a b*stard! Not even the vocal is by him.
Well, Ted is notoriously an absolute cunt, isn’t he? 26 years serving on the NRA board tells you that much. As he said when he resigned a few years ago: “I was not voted onto the board as an accountant, administrator, paper shuffler or bureaucrat, but rather to lead the charge of the good guys against the bad guys in this vile culture war that has reached a deafening roar.” What a prick.
At least he resigned.
Well, no. Would have been better if he’d had his Second Amendment rights exercised upon him. Just saying.
I mean fuck him and the guitar he rode in on.
See what you mean. Percussion!
I have come to realise about myself that my absolute sweet spot is ‘songs that sound like they could have been parodied by The Mighty Boosh’.
A couple of downunder classics:
