First Time Hearing Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band "Like A Rock" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@Frostrazor]

This was my daddy's song. This was his anthem. He was our rock. And he would crank up this song and for whatever it was, it was who he was inside and how he felt. He was and old-school real man's man, a grease monkey, a sports fan, a military veteran, and an all around handy man. And he was my best friend. We played this song at his funeral accompanied by all the pictures we could find. I cannot hear this song without thinking of him and getting extremely emotional. took a while to compose myself - loved seeing BJ feel this song in his soul. I could feel my daddy here watching this with me and moving the same way. gaddam i miss him so much.

[@Debbie338]

I’m sure he’d be proud that you still think of him this way.

[@srt8rocketship241]

This man deserves way more respect than he was critacally given. The fans know. Master songwriter , singer and musician.

[@timmacsweet1]

@@WaterWhirld Yes but he’s still not considered to be one of the great songwriters by most people. He doesn’t get the same respect as Springsteen or say a John Fogerty. I blame it on a certain critical and popular bias against Bob’s blue collar appeal. I think his midwestern roots which instruct his writing is not perceived to be as important as Springsteen’s portraits of the lament of people left behind by de industrialization or Fogerty’s faux down home American roots inspired sound. But Bob wrote such well crafted and honest songs. Really elegant writing similar to a young Paul Simon in an almost conversational style. And Bob unlike many songwriting peers matured so well and continued to write great songs about growing older like no one else. So for all of his accolades I think that he is under appreciated as a writer perhaps not as a performer.

I didn't get in to him at the time, but I listen now, and you are right. There are no "skippers" on his records. It's all quality stuff.

[@RM-ks8pp]

One of Seger's best. Shame On The Moon is another great track from Seger. Chevy sold alot of trucks with this song..Basicly this song is about an older man looking back and reflecting on the years when he was a young man.

[@sandraking7085]

Very good song indeed!

[@debbiejarvis5764]

In my teens Seger was on the radio all the time and I bought all his albums and still have them today. Conceived my 3 child with his music but not only that my husband look just like him back in the days with his long hair and beard...was with him 45 years until his passing.

[@champagnetastewithabeerpoc9919]

LOVE Bob Seger! My favorite from him is "Against The Wind". So many amazing songs like this you all could react to. I was just a child in the 80's, but I remember some of these songs. Music had so much soul in those days. Rock music like this pretty much faded away. Country turned mostly into pop music. I don't believe we'll ever see this type of talent again.

[@stephenneal9218]

One of the tastiest guitar solos ever. Nothing wasted, everything that was needed, nothing more.

“I stood proud, I stood tall High above it all I still believed in my dreams” Wishing that proud strong feeling to everyone. Still believe in your dreams. ✌🏼

[@chuckschoch]

This is one of those songs that take on different meanings the older you get. I remember working when I was 16 listening to this and it was a young man's anthem about being young with your whole life ahead of you. I'm now 58 and you start paying attention to the part that is the old man's lament over youth lost. One of the greatest songs of all time.

[@jimmyharrison1817]

I'm with you , I'm 61 , feel the same way .

Bob Seger is a master at creating music that everyone with a heartbeat can feel and relate to...I have loved his music since the moment I listened to his live album, "Live Bullet" back in 1976...The icing on the cake is that his live shows are heaven on earth. Along with Bruce Springsteen, he is at the very top of the list of iconic storytellers in rock n roll history....

I saw Seger two nights in a row on his Against the Wind tour at the Meadowlands Arena in NJ then at Madison Square Garden the next night. Front row center both nights. Seger was a fantastic live performer. Raw, true, sharp and accurate to the recorded songs and always on point.
