“Werewolves of London" & "Bad Moon Rising" (Drummer Reacts)

[@mattreynolds612]

....& His hair was perfect!!! 👌🧝

[@HT-io1eg]

I love that line!

[@brettv5967]

I think that Zevon’s “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” would also be appropriate for Halloween. And it happens to also be a friggin’ awesome tune.

[@karenmandeville7116]

yes!!

[@davidwolf4677]

“Werewolves” is thrilling live. Gets the whole room going.

[@natlee8947]

Sometimes John Fogerty at his live shows will sing there's a bathroom on the right. He heard some fans thought that's what he was saying. Werewolves of London piano riff or something similar was on another song by Kid Rock called All Summer Long. Take care everybody !

[@williamschoech8772]

Oh, he's talking about werewolves!

[@jimholt1888]

YES! MORE ZEVON! Warren wrote his song with Waddy Watchel in under a half hour. It was meant to be a kind of fun throw away. It turned out to be his biggest song, and regrettably the only song many know by him.

[@ThePosiamus]

I like "send lawyers, guns and money"

[@L33Reacts]

We did lawyers guns and money last time! Such a great track

[@L33Reacts]

Jim, I knew you would be siked lol

[@klevesmith]

@jimholt1888 every trac on My Ride's Here album

[@tommydevlin702]

I guess somebody has to be the guy who says it - Lee Ho Fook apparently didn't serve Beef Chow Mein. I walked past it many times but never ate in it but so the story goes, beef chow mein didn't feature in the menu. Aside from that, this is an absolute banger and showcases wonderfully just what a clever song writer Warren Zevon was. Anyhow - after this I would suggest "Poor Pitiful Me" and/or "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" Thanks again Lee - this was really good. " His hair was perfect"

[@robertsaul234]

Zevon's Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner would have been another good Halloween reaction.

One of the most misquoted verses in Rock history.

me too

[@frankiemanning1743]

We used that line every time lol

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

CCR one of the greatest bands ever !!!!! Their Woodstock set was something else.

[@klevesmith]

"This guy's good..." While this might be Zevon's best known song, it doesn't scratch the surface of his career or talent. You should watch the VH1 Documentary on the making of his last album. THE WIND Hosted by Billie Bob Thornton.

[@kenlawless7247]

You might have heard it in The Color of Money. It plays over the scene when Tom Cruise is crushing it in pool.

[@JB-Deadskins]

Should've done the Monster Mash.

[@VereinPlatzhirschamHirschenpla]

You can‘t go wrong with CCR.

[@eirikasbjrnberg8753]

I guess the Zevon riff is the same as #Sweet home Alabama « . Great song. There was a fun film with same name , with werewolves and a lot of blood . My favourite Zevon line is «Send me lawyers , guns and money and get me out off here « . I use it when I go to work in crazy places

[@markallen2984]

Another great track for Halloween for Warren Zevon would be "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" Kid Rock lifted the piano and basic track from Werewolves of London for the song of his that was a hit fairly recently....he combine it with parts of "Sweet Home Alabama" I don't remember the title of the Kid Rock release, though

[@GP-mw8ce]

the piano riff is virtually Sweet Home Alabama maybe thats where your hearing it

[@MichaelYoder-e8g]

Happy Halloween! When I was young I always thought they were singing "there's a bad moon on the right" and wondered why it was on the right? lol

[@Somewherein609]

Zevon iis awesome!

[@klevesmith]

The best. Sadly, most don't know his career. He and Phil Ochs are amazingly underknown.

[@lemming9984]

I only got to see him live once - solo. It was after the cancer diagnosis. He looked so diminutive, all in black, alone on the stage. A great show.

[@klevesmith]

@@lemming9984saw him twice in the early 90s. I cannot figure out why more people aren't aware.

[@dawntucker5052]

I love Warren and Creedence ❤ perfect picks for Halloween ❤

[@WILLKMC]

The Riff that Kid Rock took from Warren Zevon is the only thing that made his hit " All Summer Long" palatable

[@slcs369]

CCR: the most cheerful ditty about major disaster ever written. A real foot-tapper.

[@paulkingartwerks7981]

Zevon was great. His cool banger, "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money" is worth a listen.

[@jimholt1888]

He reacted to this a couple weeks back.

[@RandoReport]

"Werewolves of London" might sound familiar because it was partly incorporated (along with "Sweet Home Alabama") into Kid Rock's 2008 hit "All Summer Long". I once heard CCR referred to as "The American Beatles" because they had a huge number of hits (and seven albums in four years) in a short time before it all fell apart. In CCR's case, the band was seriously screwed around by Fantasy Records, and John Fogerty was involved in lawsuits for decades (Tom Fogerty had died in 1990) -- including suing Stu Cook and Doug Clifford (unsuccessfully) when they tried to use the name again. At their Hall of Fame induction in 1993, John Fogerty refused to perform with Cook and Clifford.

[@DavidRold-pt3ng]

You might of heard the piano in a Kid Rock song that he sampled. And if you seen the movie American Werewolf In London, Bad Moon was played in that. Happy Halloween everyone.

[@ApocryphalBob]

Came for the Werewolves...stayed for the perfect hair. 😎

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 "you better stay away from him ---he'll rip your lungs out, jim !!"

[@mattreynolds612]

Classic Rock Iconic song!!! 👽👻 🎃 Keep it rockin' L33 🎶🎶🔥

[@bradjenkins1475]

I love Warren Zevon. You MUST react to his song, Keep Me In Your Heart. This is a song that he wrote and performed Regarding his sickness and impending death. It is a great song. It is a beautiful song and it is so bitter, sweet and sad and all of those things rolled into one song. He died just so so young. Anyway, do yourself a favor because the song itself is also great musically.

[@corawheeler9355]

A good pick for Haloween ... of course, CCR is always good

[@CliffordLake]

You don't know the true meaning of this song until you're at a Max Creek show and they close with this just as the acid you took 2 hours earlier finally kicks in.

[@ripvanwinkle2002]

yeesh get better acid.. should be 20 mins

[@AntonyFleck]

​@ripvanwinkle2002 "What do you guys reckon, how do you feel, nothings happening?!!! Yeah let's drop some more!!.. I've been there and done that!!...

@@ripvanwinkle2002 The result was instantly peaking for the next four hours. 0 -11 in seconds. No idea why the delay, but I'm not so much a fan of blotter anyway.

[@raymondregis6219]

Saw him do a solo show in Cincinatti in 86. He had a great, dry sense of humor. He switched between piano and guitar a lot. Great show!

[@jimholt1888]

Lee....I bet you know Zevon's piano line from Kid Rock's Summer song.

[@SteveHolst]

Back when you first listened to Warren Zevon I couldn't wait to see you hear Werewolves Of London.

[@kristahartmann6712]

"Lawyers, Guns, & Money"... Zevon at his most memorable ironic outlaw...

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Mick Fleetwood and John McVie from Fleetwood Mac(our host got it)on drums and bass on Werewolves In London(RIP Warren Zevon). Bits of both songs have been used in commercials, TV, movies

[@akadros310]

I wasn't expecting mine to get picked. It was funny because I saw Maureen suggest "Werewolves of London" and it made me think of "American Werewolf in London" and then every time I think about that movie I think about "Bad Moon Rising"

[@DavidB-2268]

The piano riff from Werewolves was lifted almost entirely by Kid Rock for All Summer Long. That's probably where you heard it previously.

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Every day will be spooky in the USA until after Nov 5th. But such a great Zevon song! "Saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's, and his hair was perfect!"

[@JimFlickinger]

Great choice!! His hair was perfect..... my favorite line!!!

[@MattJocks]

Zevon's got some great ad libs on the live version. "I'd like to meet his tailor" becomes ",,,and he's looking for JAMES TAYLOR!" and in the Lon Cheney section, he adds "I saw Jackson Browne walking slow down the avenue...you know his heart is perfect."

[@freda1182]

My Jazzercise group does routines to both these songs at Halloween. Lots of fun.

[@ScottWiley-yy5cg]

Saw Warren back in 1980 when he opened for the Dead. Imagine 15,000 Deadheads singing Ahhooooo!

[@klevesmith]

@ScottWiley-yy5cg saw the same show. Warren came on stage and played keys near the end with the Dead.

[@JB-Deadskins]

Grateful Dead used to cover Werewolves of London on Halloween. I'd post a link, but then this comment would disappear. They first played it like a month after it came out. Check out the 7/8/78 version at Red Rocks.

[@klevesmith]

Warren and the Dead were friends.

[@markallen2984]

Knowing the Grateful Dead, their version probably felt like it lasted a month 😅

Can’t go wrong with Warren Zevon. “DETOX MANSION,” “I’LL SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD,” “LAWYERS, GUNS, & MONEY,” “BOOM BOOM. MANCINI” (about the true story of a famous boxer and the tragic results of one of his fights. it’s a thundering romp. ). and more.

love Warren Zevon, he can be an acquired taste but man, once you get it, you GET it. The man is a genius. Or as Jackson Browne said, he's the best proponent of song noire! Please start checking other songs of his like "Desperadoes Under the Eaves" and many more

[@ddthor]

Warren for the R &R Hall of Fame, PLEASE!😢 Anyway, Desperadoes Under the Eaves😊 is his masterpiece, in my opinion.
