[@elysepaffhausen1040]

My father was the lead singer in TNS, glad to see people are still sharing the album!!

[@70sheavyrockfan]

this songs is damn heavy! glad what you father did with this gem!

[@michaelmorphites6733]

respect. these are awesomely heavy cuts! nice one.

[@heatherferreira4225]

We Hollywood people hear his songs. His day in the sun is coming. You got one director here who will try to see to it.

[@DDavi04]

RESPECT

[@mrmikemezzo]

Great single. Both sides. I love the sound. I hope he's still rockin'.

[@deborahmartinez2802]

Singer is alive and well....( My husband) still amazed that almost 50 years it is being played !

[@flannigan7956]

Gotta inquire what TNS stands for,

[@danielmoore7332]

Every now & then a tune is constructed way before it's time. The time is definitely not up here! Did this band do any other songs that you or your hubby can remember? This should have been a smash but a tiny label from Grand Rapids couldn't compete against the GIANTS

[@karlritter3925]

Awesome Band ... I wonder why there was never made a full album... do exist more recordings or also live stuff?

[@deborahmartinez2802]

​@@danielmoore7332 no unfortunately this was the only one that was recorded ...

[@deborahmartinez2802]

​@@karlritter3925 the band was hoping to produce a album but just wasn't able to pull it together

[@thomassmith8721]

This lives up to early 70s metal. Relentless, hard & heavy. This record is a beast.

[@captainbeyond165]

Going to ride this one down the highway in my nova one day!

[@MichaelO-gh6fb]

This was the first song i heard on your channel right around the time you first made it. Im 51, and for literal decades i thought i was one of the only ones who listened to, and loved all things Heavy Psych and Hard Rock. Old enough to shake my cane at computers and youtube, young enough to revel in the absolute magic they are for things such as this.

[@seanwelch71]

Its raw and authentically great.

[@joegongora2200]

Hard , heavy and intense and lives up to early 70’s …Rock!!! This band certainly lives up to its sound.

[@waykoolrecords]

Very kool sounding obscure Michigan band.

[@herberthofmann236]

PURE KILLER SONGS!! Thanks a lot.

[@thomassmith5860]

this song just keeps on rockin keep it up 70s rock fan

[@michaellorah9051]

It's like Blue Cheer and The Stooges did a collab.

[@ThomasSmith-hq7in]

This is an early rock anthem before the phrase was coined Ripping guitar, early shredding before that phrase was coined The flip perfectly compliments the plug side. I've never heard of this band so I wouldn't know the plug side but I do know that both sides of this 45 are hard rock JAMS !

[@eddix6004]

Did tns realize any LPs or other singles what's tns stand for?

[@hemanquiroz5060]

Andaban en otro nivel estos tipos q bestial

[@joepesarchick1021]

This is killer! Even heavier than the Chicken Shack version ! Thanks for this gem !

[@danielmoore7332]

Another example of US radio being too afraid to play pure rock Never heard this back when it was released

[@admit2nothing]

So good! Reminds me of Heavy Metal Shuffle by Reagan Youth. I wouldn't be surprised if they were influenced by TNS.

[@corbinhorniii2201]

I know baby go be happy I'm done

[@thegabrielking9752]

Ok, Let's make old rock & metal songs alive forever🤘🏻🔥

[@ewardote]

[@numbresix5099]

[@Heavypsychoverdose]

Take No Shit (TNS) is a killer band

[@70sheavyrockfan]

yeah! heavy all the fucking way..

[@flannigan7956]

Great "primitive" Stooges kinda feel, and way WAY my kinda dirty production.

[@davidlsmith3864]

RYM (rateyourmusic.com/release/single/tns/times-up-telling-your-fortune/): TNS Also Known As: The TNS Blues Band Formed: Grand Rapids, MI, United States Members: Allen Martinez (vocals), Steve Barkwell (bass), Dave Dehoog (drums), Randy Nichols (guitar) Time's Up / Telling Your Fortune (1972) ".... Alternately they used the acronym to mean Take No Shit, Tougher'N Shit - or for the wedding receptions - simply The Nichols Sound. ....'Telling Your Fortune' is a cover of the Chicken Shack song from 1970 Supposedly 500 copies were pressed."

[@impalaman9707]

I'm impressed that they knew a song by Chicken Shack! I mean, that's a stonkin' tune, but that's one of those UK bands like the Groundhogs or the Edgar Broughton Band that should have been more popular in the States but weren't!

[@garyshane1063]

yes Killer

[@modeljetjuggernaut4864]

That second song is killer

[@impalaman9707]

I don't know who "Nichols and Martinez" are, but they're quite a songwriting duo! On par with "Lennon and McCartney"!

[@deborahmartinez2802]

Martinez is my husband and he thanks you for that compliment..

[@allanwagar4700]

why is there no album of this band

[@kosycat1]

Short answer: record companies were starting to suck, even in those days ...is usually the reason why. i wasn't around, but I've seen it with so many bands of the time...like dragonfly from colorado, they got to make their album but it got no recognition until recently

[@flannigan7956]

Well by my shoul I feel fine

[@pentagramparsons]

TAKE NO SHIT!!!

[@enzoperrin9176]

It remember me the Stooges

[@blackquicksandmusic2365]

Heavy Hitter...

[@bigstanky77]

Do you have an internet archive account or blog to download all these badass records?

[@Kampfwageneer]

Heavy

[@wylhamsunflower8030]

Essa banda é foda influência do do Black sabbath com stooges e uma pitada de James gang

[@alexounds75]

Real proto metal.

[@LuGerWolf]

THIS IS WHAT I CALL ... HEEEEEEEEEEAVYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!

[@thomasdudley4558]

this is like greg bradys hs garage band from 71!

[@littlebritain64]

Beautiful, only on Tume's Up I can hear some stops in the rhythm, probably drumming, that doesn't make the song flow great. Just somerhing.....

[@MrAppleseed]

Excellent song...very scratchy though..

[@B05C03]

Gives it character pap.

[@corbinhorniii2201]

Yeah baby I'm done

[@impalaman9707]

This is like early Blue Oyster Cult

[@thereverendgypsy]

What does T N S stand for ? Metallica meets The Groundhogs!

[@67supernaut32]

Take No Shit bro.

[@B05C03]

Metallica don't got shit on this

[@crazypainter56]

todays music does not rock like this-!!!!!

[@ronnieforey2068]

Teachers.......

[@metal_maniak_productions]

[@midwest6371]

Opinions of music are of course subjective and I suppose even how one identifies a piece of music is somewhat as well, but to me and virtually everyone I know into such music, calling this psych (which is of course short for psychedelic) is really off-base. This is simply heavy rock and that's not bad or limiting, is it? The term psych is way miss-used and over-used, especially by those who have the record/CD/cassette/etc. to sell, trade or post. I suspect calling something psych instead of what it really is gets it more clicks. The more clicks the more possible customers (a positive for the person doing the presentation), but I would think that the more clicks based on misidentification would lead to more disappointed customers (a negative). In my opinion no more than 10-15% of the so-called psych I've heard (easily more than 5000 artists' works) isn't psychedelic at all, or perhaps is for just a passage, minute or short track - not enough to warrant the psych tag. Typically the works I'm referring to are actually garage rock, plain rock, heavy rock, blues rock, folk rock and sometimes simply folk or progressive rock - all good enough types of music on their own. It seems to me the term psych is easily the most miss-used of all. Sometimes the only psychedelic quality of the item in question is its cover art.

Ok. Buen clásico del ROCK
