First Time Hearing Bob Seger "Turn the Page" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

I don’t think Bob Seger ever had a bad song. “Roll Me Away” is another great one.

[@rambowbizz]

sooooo good.

[@weslennon3425]

I have a reactor who is Austrailian and absolutely has fallen in love with Bob Seger, I've given him over 58 songs to react to...

[@saflynn14]

My favorite song!!

[@tomnicholls2454]

This song is easy to relate to. When he sings about walking into a restaurant and people are staring at him wondering if he’s a woman or a man, because of his long hair. Anyone who’s ever felt alone or felt like an outcast can relate that feeling. It’s probably his best song. He’s in my top 5 of all time.

[@rjgoniea]

Not on his released tracks anyway. In one interview he said he feels compelled to finish writing every song he starts, and as a consequence he occasionally finished some really bad songs.😁

[@2thinkon]

The people in the restaurants would make fun of the band because they had long hair. Lyrics - "Is that a woman or a man?" Back then, long hair was seriously frowned upon.

[@eddiebism]

Nice reaction to a classic! Something people miss in the lyrics: when he's talking about going into the cafe from the cold, he says sometimes you hear people talk other times you can't. It's the same o'l cliché, is that a woman or a man. He's referencing how people would say that with dudes with long hair, visualize the 70s when every dude had long hair and the older generation would chastise them for having it. It really speaks to how people talk down on others for being outside their norm. Been going on forever

[@straycatttt2766]

Yes, much like the restaurant scene in “Easy Rider.”

[@alkirk6]

And sadly continues on anew with each subsequent generation of humanity.Why can't humanity simply Live and Let Live?

[@wildchild7521]

That song always spoke to my Dad. Hard working, honest man- with long hair on a motorcycle in the 70s.

[@joshfarrell377]

Still happens to my son with long hair

[@hunnybunnyssunshineliving5155]

And the fact that he was so dang good looking with that long dark hair... the reason he grew a beard.

[@dagmar.6954]

Bob Seger is a great rock singer, songwriter & musician known for his raspy powerful voice. He wrote & recorded songs that dealt with love, women & blue-collar themes. He had so many great songs especially in the 70's-80's such as "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Night Moves", "Turn The Page", "Mainstreet", "Still The Same", "Hollywood Nights", "Against The Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame On The Moon", "Roll Me Away", "Like A Rock", "Shakedown", "We've Got Tonight" & "Old Time Rock & Roll".

[@rhondamcbath6279]

Many many cigarettes, make for a really "RASPY" voice, but in the end those cigarettes end up ruining not only your voice but your life overall!! Bob Segar knows this, as I know this from first hand experience. I ""WAS"" a talented and gifted singer and could sing anything!! By the time I reached to age of 50 my voice could no longer do what it use to. I know that had I not been a lifelong smoker my voice could have lasted for many, many more years. This message is for all of the gifted singers out there, if you smoke and want to continue to belt out that great voice of your's ((PLEASE-QUIT!!)) I know much easier than most people have any 💡. Anyhow, thanks y'all for your awesome channel and mostly for just being YOU... 🤗

Live Bullet is the best live album of all time. Seger is so underrated for his songs and writing.

I was at this concert in Detroit

[@jeffstevens4262]

An absolutely phenomenal artist.

[@suprchickn7745]

Rest in peace, Thomas Cartmell, AKA Alto Reed, one of Seger's legendary Silver Bullet Band members and saxophone player. He died one year ago today, December 30, 2020. May I recommend one of Bob's best and least requested tracks, "Famous Final Scene". It is an absolutely stunning track about the end of a relationship and will be highly relatable to many.

[@bella5413]

I saw Seger in Phoenix. We had great seats but it didn't matter. When he came on stage the entire coliseum stood up and never sat back down. Definitely one of my top 10 concerts. Love you guys keep doing what you do!

[@mattyjay8896]

No auto tune... Just pure talent!!

[@NightBear01]

Bob Seger is one of 3 singers I know who actually sound better live than they do in their studio recordings.

[@sharrongrant6240]

You need to watch live videos and see Bob in all his glory on stage...he was breathtaking when he had really long hair! I've seen him in concert 11 times starting in 1978, left every show smiling and exhausted from dancing and singing. Love me some Bob!!!

[@billofalltrades2633]

That sax 🎷 just brings it all together!

[@ericwilhelm9700]

This is a song that has more meaning to me than any other song in history. With my work also in entertainment. I spent countless hours on the road. Every word of this song I can relate to! And then I'm on the stage again!

[@kevinbuchholz3496]

Bob's live albums are the best, other great tunes by Bob are, Sunspot Baby, The Fire Down Below, Her Strut, Katmandu, Feel Like A Number, Betty Lous Gettin' Out Tonight, The Horizontal Bop, Bo Diddley, And many many more. Bob is one of my favorites.

[@deborahcornell171]

Somewhere in my attic is a sweet little note from Bob, from way back in the day. A mutual friend thought we should meet but I was still in high school & didn't do anything about it. Maybe I should've. You should watch the video for this song that shows a montage of photos of Bob through the years. Gives you a better feel for what the song's about, his life on the road & as a Rock star. And he is, indeed, Rock. That's the genre. "Hollywood Nights", "Main Street" & "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" are great ones you might check out next.💙☮💙

[@johntremmel3949]

It was actually a concert from September 1975 in cobo hall Detroit that is the live bullet album which is considered by many to be the best live rock album .

Best memory I have of a concert where audience participation stopped the singer. Gave me chills just listening to the audience sing this song...he just gave them the mic and let them sing. Was awesome.

[@DanielFrost21]

This song is legendary. The sax intro is one of the most recognizable in rock history. Bob Seger has a ton of great songs, it'll be well worth the time to check them out.

[@christisheeks6334]

When I saw him do this song, the sax player climbed up to the top of the stadium, balanced himself with one leg between two guard rungs, leaned backwards, all lights dimmed, except the spotlight on the sax player, wailing out his solo, then the lights slowly came up on the stage with Bob & the band. OH, my God! Outside arena, beautiful dark Summer night I will never forget it! I'm a Michigander and we selfishly claim Bob Seger as ours! Rock on forever, Mr. Fabulous Bob Seger! xoxoxoxoxo

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

“Her Strut” and “Fire down below.” Just for added appetizers- The HIT list goes on with Bob- 💖💙👍🤞🏼

[@evelynmabe7877]

Most men had long hair back then! And Beards!

[@TheNewRevolution]

One thing that's great about Segar is he sounds just as good live as he does on the studio tracks. I've seen him live several times and he is truly blessed. Not many can top his live sound. Of course all of today's music is studio tricks. No need to auto tune Mr. Segar.

[@WhatILoveAboutMusic64]

His lyrics immerse me in the moment of the song. I'm the guy stepping off the bus into the cold. I'm the guy who is popular amongst friends and loved ones but feeling alone in the spotlight on the stage. He has an amazing ability of tapping into the feelings I don't say aloud for fear of being the only one who feels that way, yet reminds me I'm not alone.

[@Jodi_Johnson]

Story time! My dad committed suicide when I was 17 years old, 2 weeks before my 18th birthday and 1 week after Father's Day. He always told me he wanted this song played at his funeral. Well, i made sure it was played. The saxophone is so eerie in a chapel. If you listen to this song from a depressed person's mindset, it has a whole nother meaning. Still gives me goose bumps. Much Love ❤

[@ThreeorMore209]

So sorry for your loss. We will never really know what someone else is going through. Keep the memories.

Asia was spot on with comparing Bob Segar to Kenny Rogers. They were friends, and Bob wrote some of Kenny's songs. Most notably "We've Got Tonight" which Bob sings and Kenny has his own version as a duet with Sheena Easton. For some extra review fun - listen to both back to back on the same review and then compare/contrast them.

[@grobinson7507]

[@randall-king]

I recently posted this on Brad and Lex’s reaction to this song.: This song is about the monotony of being on the road. Same old, same old. Page after page. The day to day grind. A brilliant part of the song is the way the music mirrors what’s happening in the story that lies within the lyrics. It begins with this loud saxophone riff because he’s on stage. Then, the music turns to a beat that sounds like a tour bus lugging down the highway (“You can listen to the engine moaning out his one note song”). The bass continues throughout the song with the same monotonous notes, reflecting the lyrics. At the end of the song, the same sax riff from the beginning swells back up because he’s back on stage. His vocals also start belting out the notes near the end because, “There I am, up on the stage!” We are see him on stage briefly at the beginning, then on the road for the whole song (because that’s what the song is about), and we see him briefly on stage at the end. And, the music accurately reflects this. They also briefly give us the sax around the 3:14 mark because the lyrics reference, “the music that you play.” Well executed. I enjoy your channels and the dynamic that y'all have. God bless you both!

[@gregscupholm254]

This was back before they had become frontliners, they were out on the road taking turns driving and sleeping show to show, they had very long hair, hence the comment they would hear "Is that a Woman or a Man"? Outside of Detroit they weren't well known but they did 250 shows a year promoting themselves and performing to get better known and following by fans. Ramblin Gamblin Man, Old Time Rock and Roll, Roll Me Away, Nutbush City Limits, Hollywood Nights, Rock and Roll Never Forgets, and Let It Rock are all great songs if you want to see the Rocker in Bob Seger come out. Check them out! You two do a great job! Thanks for playing Bob Seger!
