Bob Seger is a true American Treasure. I have the utmost respect for him. A true all time great. I salute you and thank you for your great music, Mr. Seger.
As Kid Rock said when Bob Seger was inducted into the R'n'R Hall of Fame, (to the best of my memory) "with Bob Seger, you never heard about any scandal or strife, it was always just about the music" and it's true. He is among the last of the great, class acts in rock and any other popular music genre or format.
Joyce W you nailed it had he let them subsidize him, they would have called the shots, and the true seger would have been snuffed out and forced to promote the satanic agenda. how tragic that would have been!
Joyce W Good comment! As soon as he had kids he left the road to help raise them, when they were old enough he went back on the road. Still no frills, just an all around good guy.
@@lauramcmullen5851 Amen! This discussion reminds me of the following Neil Young lyrics: "We don't wanna be watered down Takin' orders from record company clowns..." Tom Hanks played a record company executive in "That Thing You Do", ordering the drummer to wear sunglasses. I am a good drummer myself. Had I been fortunate enough to have ended up with a band that was awarded a recording contract, it would have been only after the record company was advised of their rights by the band. (Of course, a reasonable trading of ideas is always welcome.) No sunglasses, no watering down; the musicians are the talent, and the record companies need(ed) us as much as we need(ed) them. I think many gullible artists have been bullied by those clowns in the past (when this was more of an issue). Good for Mr Seger, Mr Young and whomever else did not fall in line to the "pied piper". God bless.
Seger was almost his own genre of rock. There was not much other classic rock as soulful and that sounded like him and his band. He was special and super talented.
I L O V E B O B S E G E R. I've seen him more times than any one else by far. In the Pine Knob days in the 70's and 80's, he was the man. I would stand in the Orchestra Pit (I always snuck down to get closer seats or slowly pushed to the front by the first encore) watching and singing every word with him, sometimes night after night. If he played 7 nights in Detroit, I probably saw 4 of them. He was and is my touchstone to that era and to my sister Caron (she was killed in 1976). She loved him like I do, and 40+ years later, I still feel her whenever I see him play. I love his music and his writing and the respect he gives the audience. He leaves every ounce of energy out there on the stage.
+David Greenwald If there was anything that will allow you to feel your sister it would be a Seger concert. I administer a fan group where we have several members whom were there from before Silver Bullet. We chat a whole bunch and a few are in the same frame of mind as your self. Still in 2018 the energy in the venue and on that stage is something only one that experienced it can understand..I hope you get to see him on this tour as we are thinking this will likely be his last....
Such a humble guy….I really love that about him! I have the most respect for him. He was the first person band I saw ….at my school, St Michaels gym auditorium …..he was amazing even back then!! Love you Bob Seger!
Wow, after seeing this interview, it just re-enforces what a great time I lived thru in American history. I was 14 years old when this interview played and I grew up in the town where it was shown. Bob Seeger was always one of those artists you instantly recognized when his songs were played on the radio but you didn’t know anything about, this happened a lot in those days. You always had to depend on magazine features or interviews like this for information about musicians and singers. No internet back then. Somehow though, you still would find a way to hear about the influential rock singers, especially from friends who were super fans who would be happy to tutor you in everything they knew about a particular artist or band. Those were the days and I miss them.
Yeah. I didn't expect him to be so nice, sweet and personable. I'm used to seeing musicians sarcastic, snarky or smart ass (I grew up on grunge) in interviews and he's none of those things. I was taken aback.
it seems like, in addition to having musical talent absolutely oozing out of his ears, Bob is a pretty dang smart business person! and obviously a really nice gentleman!
🥀Amazing interview with Bob Seger he's smarter than most in the music industry of taking control of his own music because you have to be careful with managers, props ect: .Chuck Berry was a brilliant artist very under ratered in the music industry 🥀🖤✌
Cool....Did not know this existed..By far my favorite artist since the 70's, still is my fave. The man is pure magic as a writer and a performer to this day. Top Drawer !!!!
I met him when he played in a small teen venue in Windsor called The Intersection. He was a very quiet yet talented man even back in his early days. Since then I have always been a fan
Bob Seger has always been a big part of the Detroit scene , he had a lot of great songs before he made it big but sometimes it takes a while for people to catch on
@@officialbobseger39 I have been a fan for 40 years. I see you now still loving bringing the music to life May God Bless you for all the beautiful music you have shared with the world 🌎 Amen 🙏
There are first time that I heard Turn The Page was in 2021 the song spoke to my soul, this song is a Master Piece Bob sings it like a well fitted suit💖💖💖
IKR. I thought it was just me but he seemed so incredulous when Seger mentioned his fondness for black musicians. As if it was wrong or something. Jeesh.
Takes you back to the days when people could speak to one another like human beings. Notice how calmly they interact. Today, we race around like lightening bugs.
Wasn't to well known during this time. Even with the release of Live Bullet. Only in the Detroit area. Two yrs. later he was the biggest musician from 1978-2004. I graduated high school in 1981 and back then his U.S. Tours would sell-out in 45 minutes. Seen him live a few times. Never disappoints!
Bob liked listening to WLAC in Nashville at night . He's a little older than me but we both enjoyed listening to WLAC which was white by day and black by night! That's where Bob got a big dose of Southern music of all colors. That's why he, Linda Ronstadt, glenn, the stones, ROD STEWART TRAFFIC, BOB Dylan and the guys who would become the Eagles were frequent visitors to 3614 Jackson Highway. Hell, CHER NAMED HER First solo album, 3614 Jackson Highway between Cher , Bob, Linda and a drunken Joe Cocker, there was always something going on in our tiny town . Thousands of Michigan folks have came here to visit the historic studios that look as they did 50 years ago..and we haven't even mentioned the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd . It's a wonderland for people who love d the 70s and those who want to get their first slice. The Museums are very reasonably priced and we make sure Ronnie Van Zant behaves himself. He's haunted the Muscle Shoals Studio since the plan crash in 1977. So come on down catch up on history!
The whitest, black man XD if that makes sense. And thats awesome he was influenced by that type of music, being from detroit myself I can say even the white people love it
I remember me an my friend would walk around our neighborhood with a 8 track player an one on the 8 tracks was Bob Segers. Remember 8 tracks!! Lol yes,im that old!! Lol❤😮😅😊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Play that ole time Rock n Roll !!!🤟🤟8🤟8
My most favorite rocker! bob seger... Can't even give a favorite song.. Named my dog Seger! He was the most loyal protective male dog i had!!! SEGER!! 😁😎
Truest talent I think I have ever seen. I mean his songs his writings his voice. Only recently saw his performances LIVE thanks to TH-cam and his stage presence matches it all perfectly. He is an absolute treasure to music.
@@officialbobseger39 actually my dad was your fan for longer than me he got to see you before you were with the silver bullet band but I have been your fan ever since smoking op's
I love Bob Seger, I have seen him at Boston Gardens in 1976 was one of my first concerts. I will love his music 4eva!!! 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤ #1 Bob Seger🎉❤☝️🙏💋🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 Rock n Roll 4eva!!!!!!!
FIGHT THE POWER! Haha, I love how he plays off the fact that he had to drive around all those years by casting it as an "independence" thing. Also like the idea that he was in Cobo Hall for James Brown and he was the only white guy there!
My first real rock album I think was 76, I was 12, n that album was. Live Bullet. I'm now 57 n still remember every word of every song n once you hear the live version the studio version just ain't the same.
A radio station in Canada back in the day. A VERY popular radio station that “introduced” new artists and the station manager’s name was Rosalie. Bob even wrote a song about her called “Rosalie”.

He sold out in the 80s......his early music was Rock....his 80s stuff was lighter commercial Pop.
@@lauramcmullen5851
The Satanic agenda??
Like The Carpenters and Donny and Marie??
Bob seger is one of the greatest rock musicians ever. a very humble person
Smart, soulful, and humble. Bob Seger’s a true one
It's rare to find someone of Bob's talent who is also humble, down-to-earth & just a regular guy (in the best sense). Love him!!
Por isso que Amo ele um cara simples , educado e discreto ❤❤❤
Boy ill be listening to segar till I'm 90 that music will live on until...Well forever for me!!
Until it shines?
ME TOO!
Seger was almost his own genre of rock. There was not much other classic rock as soulful and that sounded like him and his band. He was special and super talented.
Truth
That voice he's got and the songs he writes and performs. It could never be done better by anyone else. Perfection
A class act all the way!
Just discovered Bob Seger a year ago....Goddamn better late than never...
Wow!! You can really see how Humble and down to Earth this Gentleman is!! Seger is such a Great Songwriter. What a Legend!

Never gave up his values, a true living legend.
Damn he seems cool
Bob Seger is one really cool guy, made really cool music thanks for sharing this.
I appreciate your love towards my music hope you don’t stop liking my aspirations.
So many great songs....even beyond the hits...but also on deep album cuts.
So down to Earth and humble. Not a Hollywood type . Such great talent.
He's never left his Michigan roots
Two words.
Fucking legend.
🎶 🎸 🎶
What a humble and talented man. I'm still stuck in the 70's. I need to take my albums out and play them. Oh, shucks, I don't have a turntable anymore.
Lyrics you can sing with conviction. Great line
This man is a true artist, he really is the essence of Heartland Rock
Last living legend who stood true to his music. We lost Tom Petty. Praying that Seger gets on the road again. Godspeed.

I like his song "Till it shines".Ciao.
Bob Seger rocks!!! Where did they find the stuck up interviewer? He has a problem with Bob's poetic answers.
IKR. I thought it was just me but he seemed so incredulous when Seger mentioned his fondness for black musicians. As if it was wrong or something. Jeesh.
A I don’t think he knew Seger’s music. If he did he wouldn’t have asked the asinine ?’s he did.
Seemed very judgmental. His loss…
Takes you back to the days when people could speak to one another like human beings. Notice how calmly they interact. Today, we race around like lightening bugs.
In the 60s, Cobo Hall was the place to see rock bands in Detroit! Then came the Grande Ballroom, a venue of historic significance 🤯
one of my favorite rock stars
