I was going to say the same. I can't believe they didn't comment on that fire drum beat. Just fantastic and it kept the song moving at a galloping pace that just never stopped...
David Teegarden laid down one track, then overdubbed another track on top of that. It makes it sound like there's 2 drummers. You can tell where every other snare hit is slightly out of time. It was an awesome feature for the song's beat.
What else is there to say about the great Bob Seger, that we all haven't said many times before? A staple of 70s Rock music, and a great storyteller. Glad I grew up listening to 60s and 70s Classic Rock. Throw in that Motown sound, and some R&B as well. We were spoiled. Tanks guys!
Dusty, you hit the nail on the head.. it was the apex of quality, quantity along with variety.. 60s and 70s, the two greatest decades for music.. Those musicians,,singers,lyricists,etc born in the 1940s through the early 50s dominated the music scene and produced legendary music, masterpieces.. unmatched and sadly we will never see the likes of it again! So glad I was there for most of it!
We really were lucky growing up with this music on the radio, or the 8-track, or cassette...those were the heady days of what would later become..."Classic Rock" Rock ON!!!
I live between Detroit and Ann Arbor where Seger grew up. In this area Seger is royalty - truly revered. Glen Frey got to know and play with Seger while Frey was still in Highschool. Seger wanted Frey to go on tour with him, but Frey's mom wouldn't let him. They remained good friend's till Frey's death.
Yes! I loved The Ark! It was the last place I got together with my buddy, Rick Danko! We had a bit of a party in his tour bus, then Rick died just months later. Long live Detroit rock’n roll! Peace
Fame, riches, romance it's all fleeting. Seger knows how to put it all together lyrically and in sound. You are right Seger does not miss. You can't go wrong with the Silver Bullet Band and Bob Seger.
One of the great American singer/songwriters of the seventies and eighties.....telling us stories of how we live our lives here, what can happen to us and how we feel.....and the memories of it all!
The woman in the song is Fame. The relentless forward motion of the music represents the the wild ride that the Midwestern Boy goes on, the non-stop rush, a ride that cannot be controlled.
Bob Seger ... WHAT A VOICE!!! I saw him in concert in the late 1970s, and he blew the roof off that place! Mind-bending voice, and an astounding songwriter.
As a Detroit native, the album Live Bullet was issued to me at 9 years old. Now in Los Angeles this song has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, LOL! Spot on with your review but I'd add that without the music framing the story so well, Bob wouldn't shine like he does here. Love the title. American Savage! Great work as always gentlemen, thanks!
I love this song, then comes, "Turn the page" He got countless hits.. I saw him live twice at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. I went to the same high school that Bob Seger went to, and I was born in the same hospital that the actor Lee Majors was born in. So, I lived in Lincoln Park, Michigan, most of my adult life. I was born at Wyandotte General Hospital, which is in the City of Wyandotte, which is about approximately 10 meiles, maybe a little less from the southeast Detroit border. I was born at the tail end of the Detroit race riots that happened in July of 1967. My mom almost had me in the cab on the way to the hospital because we had to go through National Guard checkpoints, which did not help the cab drivers nerves very much. He asked my mom not to have me in the car, and she obliged him..... LOL. Anyway, I talked to some of the teachers when I was in LincolnPark High, and they told me that indeed Bob Seger went to that high school for a while. In fact, there are pictures of him in the hallways of Lincoln Park High School. So, that is my 6° of separation. I love that song.
I think alot of young people who like R&B would like Bob Seger. They should give him a chance. He has such a soulful voice and like the guys said, his stories pull you in. I think a lot of people can identify with Bob’s lyrics in his songs. ❤
Excellent analysis of a Classic Bob Seger tune. If you're going to deep dive I'll recommend, "Roll Me Away", "Even Now" + "Feel Like A Number" three rockers w great stories.
Bob is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. And, I have never found a bad song on any of his albums. Hearing him brings back memories of seeing him live in 76. I was 16 watching one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life! What a national treasure.
Its a fast story about fast times that leave you broken hearted and you don't even know what just happened. The tempo of the song is critical to the tension of the story.
What drew me in first and foremost was that drum beat. Throw in the lyrics and you got 🔥. By far my favorite song from Seger. Go back and listen to the precision of the drumming. OMFG! This song just smokes from start to finish.
Haven't looked it up on your channel but if you haven't checked out "Roll me Away" by Bob Seger your going to LOVE IT, another great story, guaranteed "banger"❗️❗️
Bob is an American treasure with all his stories, great music, and exceptional vocals!A truly great album is this one; Stranger In Town with this song Old Time Rock’n Roll and many more great songs!
I love how you guys love "The American Savage" Bob Seger. Thank you for reacting to his music. One I know you'll like is Roll Me Away. Give it a listen.
Now that was a reaction! So glad you two shared where it took ya. 😄 I suppose the main problem now, worse than what you describe about then, is that Hollywood is a boarded up tent city.
I agree with all the great comments here! I honestly didn't appreciate Bob Seger enough in the 70's / 80's. We were so jaded with SO MUCH great music it was unbelievable. Now he is an American rock legend in my mind.
Bob Seger is one of those artists who was under the mainstream eyeballs for years. He’d been playing since the 70s , churning out songs that everyone knows, but don’t realize who it is. Another Detroit artist he took under his wing before he went out on his own was Glen Frey of the Eagles before the Eagles. The Eagles were 70s, that’s enough to let you know of Segers longevity.
Check out Roll Me Away sometime. It's a great song IMO one of his best. Another one American Storm. The piano in both of these songs will definitely get you moving.
I'm old enough that I recall Seger first coming on the scene nationally; I was hooked on his music IMMEDIATELY. Been a fan ever since. So glad you're catching up to him. He has SO MANY bangers!
He’s just such an amazing songwriter. Detroit through and through. You haven’t done ‘Against the wind’, ‘We’ve got tonight’, ‘You’ll Accompany me’, “Shame on the moon’ (a cover). There are many!!! ❤❤❤
I want to hear your Hollywood stories!!! 🤣 I lived in L.A in the 80s. Saw all those musicians out, Slash, Steven Tyler, David Lee Roth, Rick Rubin. A guy I dated looked a lot like one of the Milli Vanilli guys (the braids) and 2 of the Jackson brothers at Sushi on Sunset were like 'Hey, what's up man?', like stars meeting stars (Randy & not sure who the other one was) 😂. But yeah, the 80s could be crazy. I went to USC same time as John Singleton, and the surrounding & near neighborhoods were his location for Boyz in the Hood. Don't get me started on LAPD, they're still a gang of criminals.
Bob Seger is a prolific lyricist. He is best storyteller in Rock and Roll. All his songs make their point lyrically. He is our favorite son from Michigan.
I only saw him once in concert but it was a great show. He has lots of hits and I know you have hit some. I suggest you do “ Her Strut” if you haven’t heard it.
If you were born in the '60's & grew up in the '70's there was hardly a party you could go to where they didn't break out Live Bullett. Turn The Page, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Nutbush City... hard to go wrong with that album.
Shout out for wearing the Expos cap. Montreal was the home of Jackie Robinson's Triple-A team. The Expos drafted/developed Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Bill "Spaceman" Lee. Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, and so many other talented guys were there. So many great memories
loved ya'll story about Hollywood and LA. My sister lives there and I go visit from here in Baton Rouge and I can't wait to get home after a few days there.
La and Che you bros are on a roll.. You’re like the Tom Brady led Patriots where you just keep hitting us with huge wins! Been rolling with you guys since the beginning, love your style guys!! The crazy thing is there is so much more great music that you guys are going to experience in the coming days. When I watch your channel I feel like I’m hanging with good friends and I can’t wait to see you experience another banger by a legendary band.. witnessed your baptism with The Dan, Zeppelin, The Stones and Pink Floyd!Just to name a few! It was a pleasure watching you guys truly comprehending the magnitude of what you just listened to!!
This album and Night Moves Every single song id great. ALL OF THEM!!! Then followed up by Against the Wind! Between live Nine Tonight! This man is arguably the top singer songwriter in America!
Hey guys I thought I'd suggest another new artist to check out, if interested. "Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time (Official Lyric Video)" (by the channel: Cyndi Lauper) --This song is from her debut album called "She's So Unusual" released in 1984 and was co-written by Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman. Rob Hyman is an American singer/songwriter, keyboardist and accordion player. He is also a producer and arranger; he is best known for being a founding member of the rock band "The Hooters." I enjoyed rocking with you two. Thanks for sharing.
Dude was one of the GOATs of storytelling 🔥
that drumming was relentless
I was going to say the same. I can't believe they didn't comment on that fire drum beat. Just fantastic and it kept the song moving at a galloping pace that just never stopped...
That is exactly the right word. 🙌🏼
Exactly! Relentless in the best sense. My fave Seger song and the drums are no small reason why!
David Teegarden was the drummer here.
David Teegarden laid down one track, then overdubbed another track on top of that. It makes it sound like there's 2 drummers. You can tell where every other snare hit is slightly out of time. It was an awesome feature for the song's beat.

Singer, songr writer, story teller with Amazing vocals...!
A Rock & Roll Icon...!

Peace
I grew up in Maine……and Seger used to royalty, it just doesn’t get better.
In all my years I don’t think I’ve ever said this about an artist. But Bob Seger has never put out a bad song
Agreed ❗ He's amazing . I smiled through this whole song.
He makes me happy
Truer words were never said.
Fame, riches, romance it's all fleeting. Seger knows how to put it all together lyrically and in sound. You are right Seger does not miss. You can't go wrong with the Silver Bullet Band and Bob Seger.
ONE of the best singer songwriter of all time.
Soul and R&B so strong in all of Bob's stuff.
One of the great American singer/songwriters of the seventies and eighties.....telling us stories of how we live our lives here, what can happen to us and how we feel.....and the memories of it all!
The woman in the song is Fame. The relentless forward motion of the music represents the the wild ride that the Midwestern Boy goes on, the non-stop rush, a ride that cannot be controlled.
Bob Seger ... WHAT A VOICE!!! I saw him in concert in the late 1970s, and he blew the roof off that place! Mind-bending voice, and an astounding songwriter.
Bob always had that power.
As a Detroit native, the album Live Bullet was issued to me at 9 years old. Now in Los Angeles this song has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, LOL! Spot on with your review but I'd add that without the music framing the story so well, Bob wouldn't shine like he does here. Love the title. American Savage! Great work as always gentlemen, thanks!
They need to hear "Get Out of Denver" from that album! 😳🤪😎
“Issued”. Michigander here. So true. Live Bullet was required listening for Gen X kids.
313
Sometimes, I can't get over the DRUMMING in this song. Truly. 🤯
I seem to lose myself in it. It's not perfect, but it's fantastic! Cheers
I love this song, then comes, "Turn the page" He got countless hits.. I saw him live twice at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

Listening to Bob Seger hits is going to take a while!
Bob Seger, absolutely a legend, Detroit baby
Writing lines with rhyming words is a gift, but when you can do it telling a detailed story, that's next level.
I think alot of young people who like R&B would like Bob Seger. They should give him a chance.
He has such a soulful voice and like the guys said, his stories pull you in. I think a lot of people can identify with Bob’s lyrics in his songs. ❤
Excellent analysis of a Classic Bob Seger tune. If you're going to deep dive I'll recommend, "Roll Me Away",
"Even Now" + "Feel Like A Number" three rockers w great stories.
The bass is kicking!
He's got so much soul...
This is what I grew up listening to...
Night Moves. Great story!!!
🤠 That drummer....
The hi hat goes hard.give the drummer some.and the lyrics is a definite bonus
This song is some of the realest shit every puton paper. Bob talkin that REAL LIFE SHIT IYKYK
I've heard this song a thousand times still gives me chills
Ultimate driving song .. those drums never stop :)
Yeah it can get you a few speeding tickets if you aint careful lol.
Bob is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. And, I have never found a bad song on any of his albums. Hearing him brings back memories of seeing him live in 76. I was 16 watching one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life! What a national treasure.
This was the first song I remember hearing by Bob Seger on an 8 track tape in the late '70's! Great reaction y'all!
Its a fast story about fast times that leave you broken hearted and you don't even know what just happened. The tempo of the song is critical to the tension of the story.
What drew me in first and foremost was that drum beat. Throw in the lyrics and you got 🔥. By far my favorite song from Seger. Go back and listen to the precision of the drumming. OMFG! This song just smokes from start to finish.
Mainstreet, Night moves, Turn the page & so many more!

I love how you guys love "The American Savage" Bob Seger. Thank you for reacting to his music. One I know you'll like is Roll Me Away. Give it a listen.
I think this is my favorite reaction so far. 🎉
I love Bob, so many great songs. I can listen to him all day, His storytelling is second to none. Thank you!
Now that was a reaction! So glad you two shared where it took ya. 😄
I suppose the main problem now, worse than what you describe about then, is that Hollywood is a boarded up tent city.
I think everyone who moves to Southern California has that moment when he realizes he's fallen under it's spell....
Today, it’s a place to run away from…
Democrats destroyed California.
You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.
I agree with all the great comments here! I honestly didn't appreciate Bob Seger enough in the 70's / 80's. We were so jaded with SO MUCH great music it was unbelievable. Now he is an American rock legend in my mind.
I love all your reactions they're always so honest, but this one this one is probably my favorite
Remember, exposure is everything!!!
This IS one of the few greatest singer/somgwriters to grace the ears.
Ramblin Gamblin Man 🔥 He's amazing. Lyrics , Vocals .... all of him has so much soul. The band pushes like a locomotive.
Bob Seger is one of those artists who was under the mainstream eyeballs for years. He’d been playing since the 70s , churning out songs that everyone knows, but don’t realize who it is. Another Detroit artist he took under his wing before he went out on his own was Glen Frey of the Eagles before the Eagles. The Eagles were 70s, that’s enough to let you know of Segers longevity.
From the early 70’s
The legendary Bob Seger
Bob is up there with Bruce when it comes to story telling
Pure rock n roller. He and the band learned their licks in the late 60's and it all paid off in spades down the road.
If you guys haven't checked out Bob Segers "Katmandu" yet then please listen to that one. One of my favorite Seger songs!
Knew all the words to all his songs. One of my first concerts, 1970..2+2 is on my mind...
Persacuation Smith too..
I am a Detroiter and guys absolutely GET ROCKIN ROBERT 😎 💪
My favorite song, especially growing up in the valley just over those Hollywood Hills.
Great song Bob is amazing, I don’t think he has a bad song. Thank you guys
Check out Roll Me Away sometime. It's a great song IMO one of his best. Another one American Storm. The piano in both of these songs will definitely get you moving.
I'm old enough that I recall Seger first coming on the scene nationally; I was hooked on his music IMMEDIATELY. Been a fan ever since. So glad you're catching up to him. He has SO MANY bangers!
The drumming is stellar here.
Love Rocking Bob Seger. I still have all of his albums in viny.
❤🔥❤
A "Live Bullet" album review is definitely in order 👍✌️
He is a great writer and storyteller . The gritty ness of his voice pulls you in and keeps you there. As always, fellas excellent reaction 😊❤👏
"Her Strut" should be the next Seger tune to hit guys.
La & Chi, you guys don’t miss either! Great reaction! More Seger!
My favorite songs are You'll Accompany Me and Come To Papa!!❤🎉
La, I could see that story crushed your heart. 💔
It did
The lyrics are great! His voice is great and I love their music!
He’s just such an amazing songwriter. Detroit through and through. You haven’t done ‘Against the wind’, ‘We’ve got tonight’, ‘You’ll Accompany me’, “Shame on the moon’ (a cover). There are many!!! ❤❤❤
Legend has it that the studio executive played the demo on his drive home, when he looked down and saw he was speeding he knew it would be a hit
I want to hear your Hollywood stories!!! 🤣 I lived in L.A in the 80s. Saw all those musicians out, Slash, Steven Tyler, David Lee Roth, Rick Rubin.

Roll Me Away, Bob Seger video. You can see him sing and the Silver Bullet Band play. It's a very up beat song, and as always a great story behind it.
If you were born in the '60's & grew up in the '70's there was hardly a party you could go to where they didn't break out Live Bullett. Turn The Page, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Nutbush City... hard to go wrong with that album.

From the same album release "I Feel Like A Number" is fire!
Really respect your reactions bro, it's like you live it!
Listen to Roll me away. Every guys dream to just get your ride and girl and go.
I really love the way that song builds
She had all of the skills.
Bob doesn’t always give you what you want, but he gives you what you need
loved ya'll story about Hollywood and LA. My sister lives there and I go visit from here in Baton Rouge and I can't wait to get home after a few days there.
If i could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life😂....it would be Bob Seger!!! Never a bad song.
Another great song with great lyrics that no one seems to react to is "the Fire Inside"
Worth a listen🇨🇦🇨🇦
La and Che you bros are on a roll.. You’re like the Tom Brady led Patriots where you just keep hitting us with huge wins! Been rolling with you guys since the beginning, love your style guys!! The crazy thing is there is so much more great music that you guys are going to experience in the coming days.

I LOVE BOB to the moon and back!! Thank you both 😅
Along with the lyrics, the drummer plays two different parts which also gives this tune a chaotic feel.
I’m from Georgia, I moved to LA & I loved it. Are y’all scary cats?
I luv luv luv Segar
The man is a Legend 😎
Easily one of my all-time top 5 artists! Had every album he put out. Another great Bob Seger song about getting played by a woman, Sunspot Baby!
CHILLS
I grew up on Seger. Every song gives me chills, in a good way.
This album and Night Moves Every single song id great. ALL OF THEM!!! Then followed up by Against the Wind! Between live Nine Tonight! This man is arguably the top singer songwriter in America!
Bob always tells a great story. Always!

This song is the story of my life when I left St. Louis in '89 and move to Los Angeles !
Reaction was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
MISSISSIPPI RKN APB !😁
Wanna talk about hard?? Those drums are hard!
Seger is one of the most underrated greats there is! I’ve always thought he was great!
What you guys said, Bob Seger don't miss! Bob Seger is the equivalent of England's Rod Stewart, he's the Great American Story Teller.
Mr. Seger LIVING LEGEND
One of the best songs in the American Canon. All the best songs conjure up their own videos.
