HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Foghat - Slow Ride' | GENUINE REACTION

[@ocheltree1]

I'm 62 and I still bang my head on this! Sitting in my chair with an afghan across my legs, drinking my tea and rocking out!!!! I'm sure I look ridiculous but hey, you can take the granny out of rock n roll but you cant take the rock n roll out of granny! Great reaction Mollyboy👍

We "old timers" were blessed with the best music in history. It was so great to have been a part of that time!!

[@TeedentoddoTV]

Good choice for a 70's classic...I'll suggest "Fool For The City" as a follow-up!

Hugely agree!!! It’s a MUST-hear!

[@patmuldoon9369]

Same here.

[@danithompson8743]

And I think of Guitar Hero. Everyone can play Slow Ride!

This is the most accurate description of 1975 I ever heard. 🤪

Those were the days

We used to drink the “shorty” Millers, lol. But same thing, 8 track and all.

[@tarabogia4307]

My Dad loved this song. He would blast it at 7am and wake us all up. Boy, that man could not sing, but he did try! Love it.

[@jennhen2675]

I am going to be 67 and I still love this song! It was a great era to be alive!!!

[@LoriLynch-bt8tj]

HELL YA!! I'll be 67 this year!! :D 70's ROCK!!!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Not only the multiple guitars, but that bass guitar line holds it down, and then it joins the guitars on the riffs and runs so it's all in unison. Which gives the whole thing a whole lot more punch, even down through the bass end of the frequency spectrum. It's a great early seventies rock sound. 😎

[@mightyneponset1560]

Absolutely, Steve, the bass is freaking kicking it for the entire song, weaving in and out, and taking it down low and …

[@stevedahlberg8680]

@mightyneponset1560 And we absolutely cannot overlook how the bass line handles what sounds like a fun, whimsical disco section in the first iteration, but later it turns into truly hardcore rock-funk. I saw them live in the late 70s, and of course they did this - in fact I think it was the encore, but you could tell it was loose and playful. They were just a really great tight rock band. And I absolutely love their first album. I love every song on it. The huge hit from it is "I Just Want to Make Love to You. And it seems like there was another hit off of that. But I absolutely love the song "Trouble, Trouble", which was introduced to me in a rock band I played in briefly in high school before moving away, and it's still one of my favorites. But my absolute favorite Foghat tune of all times is their Chuck Berry cover of "Maybelline" that closes out that first album. It's such a jam, and the energy is just relentless and amazing, and the display of musicianship is just otherworldly. ❤️

[@davidbordonaro1631]

I love it when people figure out what its about

SAME!!!

[@colibri1]

I was just ten years old when this came out and I had no idea. I thought it was just about loving the rock music or something, but some of the lyrics made me suspect it might also be about sex.

[@yu2gm]

DING, DING, DING! You caught on. I saw that sly little grin. Was here for the first 100,000 and watching those numbers climb steadily. Enjoying you in Texas!!

[@rickandosca8262]

I`m 76 and I find you such a pleaser to see and listen to young sir. Keep on rocking!

a lot of babies were conceived to this song. even before it was used for that reason, it was in my top 10 favs.

[@stephenreiner1523]

75 I was a junior in high school in upstate NY. To this day.i don't remember a time when so many great bands came out with hits that would last through the millennium.

LMFAO!!!!!!...hahahaha.....Mollyboy the way you looked at me in the camera in the middle of this song ...."like what tha Hell did you get me into" made me laugh so much and so hard I had tears streaming from my eyes....and I am still laughing.

[@jefffrey4844]

An all time classic right here!

[@winterman63]

I turned 62 today. Found your channel because of your classic rock reactions. I live in Chicago. I first saw Foghat live at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, gone now, when I was 13 in 1976. They were also at Soldier Field in Chicago in May 1977, their Foghat Live album recorded at that show. Amazing time. Saw them at least 6 times after. Great stuff. Glad you liked it.

[@stillmeadowfarm]

Cool!❤

[@alicericcardi3199]

1975; I was a junior in HS. My friends and I would hang out after school to listen to the latest music. We would get beers and other fun stuff and party hardy. When we first heard this song, I remember the boys playing air guitar, gyrating to the music, long air flowing (us girls LOVED that!!), the girls would sing loud and then we'd all dance together and make out. It was the BEST!!!!

Really? That's when Fool For The City Album came out? Okay! I thought it was 77. I know Rock n Roll Outlaws came out in early 70s. Great music back then!

[@CoachG13]

Best bump n grind song ever. Lyrics and tempo. Two match books folded up and jammed under the eight track getting the tracking right. Some pony’s and MD 20/20. Fogged up windows. The days brothers, the days…..

[@LoriLynch-bt8tj]

MAD DOG!! Well, there's ONE thing I wouldn't want to relive...those stupid 8 tracks! LOL Hitch Hiking to the Sat. night KEGGER! You KNOW you've caught the right ride when you open the door and there were dozens of 8 tracks ALL OVER the inside of their rig! And a couple hundred empty folded matchbooks! LMAO :D

Please go down the Southern Rock rabbit hole…”Hold on Loosely” by 38 Special(not the vevo version,the album version)….”Flirtin with Disaster” by Molly Hatchet(album version)…”Don’t misunderstand Me” by Rossington Collins Band(album version)

when 8 tracks faded out We spent hours putting our records on to cassette tapes so we could listen to them in the car - slow ride, life in the fast lane, the breeze, nationwide, highway to hell, cat scratch fever, Freebird, damn i miss those days - it's good to see younger people jammin to what we used to get fried to, and burned the memories into our brains. Good Times You should check out BLACK FOOT "Train Train" - "Rattlesnake Rock 'N' Roller" - Fox Chase" or a musical chainsaw?? Jackyl - "Lumberjack"

Whenever I listen to Radio I'm thinking that song would be a great Molly song.i.e. Mississippi Queen

[@mikeeckel2807]

Foghatwas made up of some from the old British Blues band Savoy Brown. "Lonesome" Dave Peverette was the lead singer.

The bass in this song is 10/10-my favorite part of this epic classic tune

This will always remind me of Dazed and Confused, one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time!

[@vickieshipley7505]

Love the "Climax" at the end!

[@LottiesFaith]

I get this stuck in my brain! I love it! I love the bass throughout and the way the guitar mirrors his words. And, of course, the drums!! The more times you listen to this, the more controlled the chaos becomes. You'll recognize merry little rifts tripping along, and the funk of the bass is always there to ground the song. I think it will grow on you.😉

I used to play this on the Juke Box at the local Pizza Hut back in the 70's (I graduated High School in 1976) while eating Cavatini and hanging out with friends. Used to sing along especially with the line "I'm in the mood, the rhythm is right" flirting with a certain girl. Fool for the City is a great album. More great music from my youth.

[@colibri1]

This huge hit from 1975 was one of the songs you'd regularly hear blasting out of people's cars in the mid-seventies, along with songs like "Feel Like Making Love" by Bad Company (1975), "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith (1975), and lots of Led Zeppelin. It instantly takes me back to my older cousin's ice blue mid-seventies Chevy Blazer with ice blue crushed velour upholstery and ear-splitting, crystal clear sound system.

[@jeffg1149]

Ive seen them many times back in the early 80's. They killed it at every show. Love love love Foghat!!!

"Foghat - Midnight Madness" is even more mind blowing. I'd love to watch your reaction to it. It starts out a very nice mellow but when the second solo kicks in, it takes your mind into a different place.
