Power Of Zeus - It Couldn't Be Me (1970)

[@jlemaire22]

This is why I love samples cause then you get to dig and find great music you would have never heard of.

[@smook323]

Obie Trice

[@marvaff6878]

Exactly. Came here from Obie Trice - Wanna Know (also on the soundtrack of the classic PS2 game, Fight Night Round 3). Can see why the sample was used - because the song is a banger!

[@mrivera279]

RockTheBells Radio Salute the sample brought me here ✌🏾

[@TheYOLANDA71]

Yess same here 😃

[@TheDarkmanx666]

Obie Trice got me here!

[@silentbob379]

Entourage got me here, via Obie Trice

[@gamalbenyisrael]

Me too... six years later

[@AWall1975]

Hahaha me too!

[@TheIllynow]

Me too 👌

[@mrdreloaded4049]

LL Cool J's Rock The Bells show "Salute the Sample" with Greg Nice brought me here.....

[@rmtrasta]

Obie Trice brought me here!!! I LOVE this song as well!!!!

[@Cali62825]

Where have these tasty riffs been all my life…??!!!! This is so raw and rich.

[@anothersettlementneedsyour9628]

Love the hammonds backing the riffs. Would be so cool if some new band used hammond organs. Doesn’t matter if it would be black, nu or core band. Hammonds go well with almost anything.

[@SorenHighwind]

Goddamn that is a killer riff.

[@Elisabeth_Hass]

It's friggin' badass.

[@josephvoglewede8587]

If 1970 Black Sabbath picked up Deep Purple’s Jon Lord and they relocated to Detroit, it would sound like this.

[@jeffbrown-hill7739]

These drums are sick.

[@BassHeadsProduction]

real tunes, no gimmicks

[@goddimmus]

I have been looking for this because of a 3 sec hook Ive heard in like 20 different songs. Thank you mysterious "Power of zeus" comment guy!

[@scspera]

“Fucking Harvey!”

[@mrdankhimself]

Ari Gold’s gonna catch a smack too!

[@ILLKRILLKILLER]

Behold! A time when music was free...and genuine!

[@peacebaby914]

This sounds great sampled on Obie Trice!

[@tanguyvahe5139]

Creature skateboard friends united !

[@unselflover]

Truly a great song.

[@Jdub14000]

Obie Thice!!!!!

[@Elisabeth_Hass]

That freaking drum riff close to the end when they refrain "It couldn't be me" is so cool! What a great tune. No idea what it's actually about yet. Can't find the lyrics anywhere.

[@bluesoddity2094]

This is where Wolfmother got their riffs from.

[@DerekHundik]

i'm here because Creature - CSFU skate video

[@cholovisceral4027]

Greetings from Peru !!!

[@dootraanougat]

[@Jdub14000]

[@Eawahwah]

Great tune.

[@turkelafandiyev]

Do you Wanna Know too?

[@masterklaw4527]

Am I the only 16 y/o who's addicted to heavy acid rock from the early 70s?

[@sakioentertainment3004]

Maby

[@TDghf]

U were not that was 9 years ago though ha

[@TDghf]

Also it was about that age I started getting into it dude there is solo much good stuff out there also I have a playlist of all these obscure and some not early 70s heavy rock love to send it ya

[@tikabass]

I've been addicted since I was about that age, in the early 80's.

[@MillerGenuineDraft1980]

I love this song especially the fucking deadly into!!!!!!!!

[@TheMalombra]

Some critics have different views about this band. I still find their hammond-dominated hard rock as very tasteful althought i have to admit a clear British inluence. No psychedelic influence at all, psych heads stay away! X-ian band, but lyrics are not easy to extrapolate. From Detroit, the motor city :)

[@shannonkinney2875]

I think this has some psychedelic influence. Something in the vocal harmonies, the organ, and some of the leads sounds psychedelic, especially at the chorus. Then there are tracks like I Lost My Love and the Sorcerer of Isis that are obviously as much heavy psych and/or acid rock as they are hard rock.

[@scotty196769]

Yes..Obie booked it

[@RocknJazzer]

@aives65 - thanks, but by 'opposite now' i meant that todays bands are the opposite of original because if they really were, they tend not to sell well or get records deals. so many of those old classic bands would not get signed today. heck, many of them even flopped back then, but at least they were given chances by the labels back then. nowadays no. So unique bands now must do it themselves and try to find a small niche market of diehard fans online and try to make money on small tours.

[@budzugan]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. haven´t heard of them before, thanks

[@kirkhensley5870]

Cugino!! Como stai!?? Gibson SG, yeah?

[@aives65]

@progjazzfusion cant opposite, cause youre right. this magical times are over and it never comes back.

[@alexandrosanchez6501]

Magic it's unpreddictable

[@nikosatsaves3141]

If sir lord baltimore had a twin brother

[@MrScopophiliac]

The Real Shit!

[@Mrdouglasferguson21]

@RockOfAges94 yea you heard the obie trice since they wanna know. which samples this song and the line all i want is whats mine i dont care who i hurt. song isnt bad actually. but you know the original is always the best

[@StringRamblerBale]

great stuff ..tnx

[@RockOfAges94]

I heard this riff in the movie trailer for The Green Hornet?

[@virgilhawkins5680]

You and me both. And I've never found that specific trailer since.

[@RocknJazzer]

@aives65 - well if you say so, but i cant stand the newer rock bands that try to do classic rock. they come off as only copying the most salient exaggerated elements of the classic groups, without the depth or originality or eccentricities they had. same thing with kravitz,crowes,hives,etc...really there is no way to go back and recreate the magic of the original bands. Back then it was VERY important for bands to not sound like others or copy them...it was all about originality. opposite now.

[@johnmooresr2318]

I don't care who I hurt give me my shit LoL 🤣 classic rock

[@airventschinatown]

@RockOfAges94 Im pretty sure in the green hornet trailer its the downgraded, rap, obie trice version, wanna know

[@aives65]

[@diamondroof835]

Dude this is 2013, just google: " lyrics Power Of Zeus - It Couldn't Be Me " and click on the first suggestion

[@Boxscot49]

Idiota

[@Erectuswalksamongstus]

It’s always really sickening when the c(rap) “music” listeners have to come around and ruin real music after one of their favorite c(rappers) c(rapped) all over it

[@dnbwhynot]

@progjazzfusion Yep, the focus in the word music industry is definitely on the industry nowadays. Mainstream music is shite.

[@JaIjAicee12]

@Dead4everYoung jay-z samples this

[@TheDinho510]

Anyone know the lyrics?

[@Elisabeth_Hass]

I can't find them anywhere.😢 BEST GUESS on the words I can make out; "All I want is what's mine I don't care who I hurt. People I meet that you'd better not see... Tween' (between) right and wrong.... I know what's right and someday I hope I never seem to go on. But right now I know somebody's puttin' me on and it couldn't be me." "I went south to the middle of the right??? (Really not sure) Let there be a little light in this dark night." And it couldn't be me. (Repeat) *-Badass drum groove here-* ... That's all I got so far. Lol. Thoughts?

[@Beto_Garda]

no, you didn't. completely different songs

[@RocknJazzer]

@hotapplepie2009 - do you mean the canadian band with the male+female vocals? if so, again their songs sound too generic and modern to me, like the crowes, kravitz, etc just playing retro instruments, wearing retro clothes and hair will not do it. too many of these retro bands go for the retro image but the music doesnt deliver. For instance see the movie Almost Famous...thats a perfect example of a modern generic version of dime a dozen 3rd tier 70s rock band. in other words nothing special

[@fabfozz]

Greta '

[@RocknJazzer]

this is what that new shit band Wolfmother WISHES it could sound like.

[@upplsuckimcool16]

lol the only good part of the song... which is a really good part.... only plays once
