Seger is extremely famous here in the U.S. Maybe not so much among the younger generation, but he's been around since the 1960s. I remember his first album in 1968, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, when I was in the military. I loved his music and his voice. He's a phenomenal singer/song writer and he's in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has one of those iconic voices that became part of the music soundtrack of my generation from the 1960s through the 1980s. He stood in stark contrast to the English Invasion music, disco, punk and alternative and he never compromised on the integrity of his style of music (like a rock!) through the period when those other genres/style of music came and went.
Man, don’t we all remember that feeling? When we were young and thought we were bulletproof? He takes us right back to that way of being and makes us miss it. ❤️❤️❤️ Edit: Wowwww I would have sworn on my momma that he died last year. WTF is happening to my brain….JFC. 😖 Sorry, Bob.
I’d pay anything to go back to being 18. Young,strong and ultra positive. Now I’m cynical,old and my knees are fucked,but I’m grateful for my time through the 60’s and onwards. We were blessed to be living in that era.
Time goes by so fast, you're young and strong one minute, then all of the sudden you're 50-something and wondering we're all that time went. This hits it right on the head.
@@davey3884 From what I understand, Bob was responsible for the majority of it.... But I realize they worked together to fine "tune" it. JD was damn near an unofficial Eagle.
Thank you for picking one of his incredible songs that is criminally underrated - the lyrics of this song are beautiful but bittersweet at the same time. When he comes in with "20 years-where'd they go?" I am happy for 20 years of memories, but sad that 20 years slips by in the blink of an eye. Thanks for the great review! Love you Dudes :-)
I have waited and waited for this reaction. I knew that you would like it. It is the best song to listen to while driving with the windows down on a nice summer day. The best guitar solo ever!!! I have decided that music penetrates the veil between Heaven and Earth.
Every man, everywhere and in their own time felt this way. Now we’ll I’m old but I have done so many wonderful things and I can say no regrets. Turn the Page is my favorite song and this is my number 2. And his Greatest Hits album is my favorite.
Great reaction guys. As a man, I can get lost in this song. I am sure it resonates with guys everywhere. It just captures memories and then throw in that bad ass guitar with slide accents, come on. Thanks for the video. Take care guys.
Love Bob Seger's voice and this is a really fabulous song. Another favourite is Old Time Rock & Roll, it's a superb song and really gets you going! And of course the wonderful Turn the Page which you've already reacted to. Love your reaction, guys, certainly agree with what you said, we've all got great memories and they are very precious. Thanks, guys, take care.
Bob Seger - GOAT Twenty years now, where'd they go? Twenty years, I don't know... I just turned 50 last year ... This song hits different now. Do "Against the Wind" and "Roll Me Away"
@@Straydogger thsnks! Never heard of him, which is sad so good! Must be studio musician who was touring with Seger as a sideman. Those guys are so good but rarely become known by name to the public.
..."he has the ability to pierce you through your soul." Well said and true. Mr. Seger is one of the great, all-time songwriters. A proud, original Michigan boy like myself...
Bob Seger is a master at creating music that everyone with a heartbeat can feel and relate to...I have loved his music since the moment I listened to his live album, "Live Bullet" back in 1976...The icing on the cake is that his live shows are heaven on earth. Along with Bruce Springsteen, he is at the very top of the list of iconic storytellers in rock n roll history....
For me, Bob Seger is one of the very best singer songwriters to ever live ♥️ I’ve seen him 6 times over the years, first time in 1977 & the last in 2016 🎼♥️ Master storyteller ♥️ I fill in the line “20 years now, Where'd they go?” with 40 years now, Where’d they go? What a great song 🎤♥️🎼
Bob Seger was highly regarded in his time- he was hugely popular and is still well loved in the US. He is also regarded by many to have the best voice in rock music. He's a phenomenal talent.
Saw Bob and the band in Ottawa. I think it was 1978. One of the best shows I ever saw. He did Rock and Roll never forgets on the third encore. One of my favorite songs then and now. Love your reactions!
I'm 71 now but I remember those days. I wasn't a muscleman but I was like a rock, both mentally and physically. It can't last forever. But it's necessary. I always did what was necessary for me and my family. That's the most you can ask for. I always stood tall and proud. No-one ever told me what to do. This song always makes me emotional and it reminds me of a song by Simon & Garfunkle, "I am a Rock".
Bob Seger is one of the greatest and always will be. Great affection and treat him in a song called we’ve got tonight thanks. The band were brilliant and great to the ear.
The sad state of modern day, is most people know this song from truck commercials. It was so legendary, that they put it in ads, but fast forward and now the ads are the only time anyone has heard it, because time passes all musicians by.
Ah, Bob Seger could tell a story and draw you in..you can't go wrong with any of his songs..thank you for this reaction..I enjoy watching your expressions as you listen to and feel the lyrics 💖
An American Treasure! Unlike so many phony super patriots, he speaks the truth about life in these here United States, and evokes a love of country that is real and based on his experience. One of the most authentic and talented American artists.
Thank you guys for reacting to my special request!! You once again made my Birthday! You are absolutely right..Bob Seger is a genius! His song writing is nothing by amazing, he grabs your emotions with each and every song. His powerful , unique voice is like no other. Bob Seger is in my top 5 best voices of all time. Thanks again for the reaction...I knew you both would love it !!
I've heard this song probably 100 times but I've never noticed how the tone and phrasing of the guitar solos remind me of David Gilmore's style and touch. Nice reaction guys!
Great reaction! This is just about my favorite Bob Seger song. Interestingly, in his greatest hits album, he includes notes about each song that made it special for him. The notes for Like a Rock show that the slide guitar sections were added after the album was completed - "My fondest memory of this recording is of David Cole and I listening to Rick Vito play the slide guitar solo late one night at Rumbo Studios in L.A. It was the single most spectacular overdub I'd ever heard"
Bob Seger is a great rock singer, songwriter & musician known for his raspy powerful voice. He wrote & recorded songs that dealt with love, women & blue-collar themes. He had so many great songs especially in the 70's-80's such as "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Night Moves", "Turn The Page", "Still The Same", "Hollywood Nights", "Against The Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame On The Moon", "Roll Me Away", "Like A Rock", "Shakedown", "We've Got Tonight" & "Old Time Rock & Roll".
Please react to more U2. 1) Pride In the Name of Love 2) Running to Stand Still 3) Where the Streets Have No Name 4) All I Want Is You 5) I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For 6) Bad (Live Aid 1985) 7) Sunday Bloody Sunday 8) New Years Day
Seger is my first concert. He’s very famous, but I agree that it seems he hasn’t gotten his due. I think he marches to his own beat, and doesn’t placate to the suits and the business aspect of the record companies. Maybe that’s why.
I am 75 years old. Believe me, everybody from my generation, remember Seger.
Seger just has a way like no other to make you feel his music. Just sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the ride.

Gary, Appreciate the info and back ground on artist.
God bless you and again Thank you for your service!
I grew up in the 80's listening to and LOVING Bob Seger! Still do! 😄👍
Now that I'm almost 40, I love this song more and more!
What a man is supposed to be!! Bob Seger for ever.
I liked this song from the first time I heard it in the 80's. I'm 75 and get it. 55 years, where'd they go?
Man, don’t we all remember that feeling? When we were young and thought we were bulletproof? He takes us right back to that way of being and makes us miss it. ❤️❤️❤️
Edit: Wowwww I would have sworn on my momma that he died last year. WTF is happening to my brain….JFC. 😖 Sorry, Bob.
Why RIP????
Bob is NOT dead! He’s 77. Yikes!
Superman lol
He lost his sax player Alto Reed. He says he won't tour any more since his passing.
Another great hit by Bob Seger is Fire Lake.
This song makes me cry, thinking of when my late husband was young. 40 years, where did they go. 💔
Us Michiganders grew up with Bob ,we knew how good he was back in the day such a great rock and roll voice
Was right there with you.
@@chipurBillWhite Me too!
'MAIN STREET" Is my favorite...!
I’d pay anything to go back to being 18.
Young,strong and ultra positive.
Now I’m cynical,old and my knees are fucked,but I’m grateful for my time through the 60’s and onwards.
We were blessed to be living in that era.
So comforting to hear someone express how I also feel emotionally and physicaly. Just means we treasure the past. Life was and continues to be good.
Time goes by so fast, you're young and strong one minute, then all of the sudden you're 50-something and wondering we're all that time went. This hits it right on the head.
exactly I was a teenager when it came out, now 53 and my body can't handle half the stuff I used to do.
Fun Fact: Bob Seger wrote the Eagles tune "heartache Tonight".... And was an early mentor to Glenn Frey.
Glenn Frey sang background on Gamblin Man by Bob Seger
@@ReneeFrau
"With Gusto.!" ~ Bob Seger.... ;)
He co-wrote it with Glenn Frey, Don Henley and J. D. Souther.
@@davey3884 From what I understand, Bob was responsible for the majority of it....
But I realize they worked together to fine "tune" it.
JD was damn near an unofficial Eagle.
@@2869may yes!!
72 now but he makes me remember how I felt way back 50 years ago. Love his music!
One of the greatest voices in music ever!! Great story telling in his songs, stands to this day in 2024. Thank you Mr Seger!!
Masterpiece
agree he has lots of hits is well known but still vastly underrated
Bro's, his "Hollywood Nights", "Katmandu" and "Old Time Rock and Roll" are next for you!!! Bangers!!
Turn the page!
@@jklang7217 Hi there, they've already reacted to Turn the Page.
When I hear " Katmandu" I think of the movie MASK
@@smokeyverton7981 It's another fab song - Bob Seger has so many wonderful songs!
@@annemaclean6634 ok I will check that out.
One of Seger's better songs and that in itself is saying a lot. Love the guitar and background singers. They are great you need listen closely.
Don't worry about getting emotional. Music makes ya feel and helps to heal. Great reaction guys!
Seger gives me goosebumps. The man has so much emotion in his voice. He makes his point lyrically.
Excellent! Bob seger is velvet and gravel in one voice. His songs ALWAYS make you feel nostalgic! Great job guys!
Just a Great song...! You have lots more to hear from him...!
It doesn't get any better than this. Love Bob, this is one of my favorite songs by him
Thank you for picking one of his incredible songs that is criminally underrated - the lyrics of this song are beautiful but bittersweet at the same time. When he comes in with "20 years-where'd they go?" I am happy for 20 years of memories, but sad that 20 years slips by in the blink of an eye. Thanks for the great review! Love you Dudes :-)
Roll me away is the ultimate touring song. Picture riding your Harley up to Deadwood South Dakota for a game of aces and eights listening to this song
Beautiful, emotional song! So expressive in every way - lyrics, vocals, instruments. Thank you guys!
Lot more great song from Seger
You shoud hear his "Against the Wind". It's an anthem. You see how strong his music is!
To me this his anthem
Love Seger, this song is so emotional and rings true for so many of us
I have waited and waited for this reaction. I knew that you would like it. It is the best song to listen to while driving with the windows down on a nice summer day. The best guitar solo ever!!!
I have decided that music penetrates the veil between Heaven and Earth.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice. The first time was front row tickets I won on the radio. Epic
George,I love how u feel the music.
Young men, i still get goosebumps when i listen. i was your age when this song came out,now 30+ years older .. Life is Beautiful make it count!
My favorite Artist and song. EVER
Yeah, more Seger!
Every man, everywhere and in their own time felt this way. Now we’ll I’m old but I have done so many wonderful things and I can say no regrets. Turn the Page is my favorite song and this is my number 2. And his Greatest Hits album is my favorite.
Have too check out Roll Me Away.
Great reaction guys. As a man, I can get lost in this song. I am sure it resonates with guys everywhere. It just captures memories and then throw in that bad ass guitar with slide accents, come on. Thanks for the video. Take care guys.
As a women I am just as lost, as young woman very lean and shapely and energy galore and wondering where my youth has gone
Love Bob Seger's voice and this is a really fabulous song. Another favourite is Old Time Rock & Roll, it's a superb song and really gets you going! And of course the wonderful Turn the Page which you've already reacted to. Love your reaction, guys, certainly agree with what you said, we've all got great memories and they are very precious. Thanks, guys, take care.
Agree with you, Anne. Another one I love and is not always appreciated is Famous Final Scene.
@@tonybennett4159 Yes, that is a really fantastic song and he sings it very well, Bob Seger's voice is just so good.
He has quite a few
I believe this is my favorite video of all time. I feel this in my soul
Bob Seger - GOAT
Twenty years now, where'd they go?
Twenty years, I don't know...
I just turned 50 last year ... This song hits different now.
Do "Against the Wind" and "Roll Me Away"
If you told me that a slide guitar solo could bring me to tears, I would have laughed at you. And you would have been right...........
Gorgeous wasn’t it. I think Gilmore’s guitar in Pink Floyd’s Sorrow also uses slide….and that, to me, is a goosebump killer
Rick Vito on slide guitar.
@@Straydogger thsnks! Never heard of him, which is sad so good! Must be studio musician who was touring with Seger as a sideman. Those guys are so good but rarely become known by name to the public.
He and his band live were some of my favorite concerts 😊👏👏
Tremendous song with great guitar work. Seger never disappoints.
The lyrics "The moon comes callin' a ghostly white, and I recall, I recall..." really hit home. And the guitar solo is just absolutely perfect.
You got it!! It’s all about emotions!
..."he has the ability to pierce you through your soul." Well said and true. Mr. Seger is one of the great, all-time songwriters. A proud, original Michigan boy like myself...
I love your enthusiasm, bros. Watching young people enjoy this old stuff really heightens the listen of the music.
I was so lucky to have seen him in concert 10 times in the 70's and 80's. still a favorite today.
Bob Seger is a master at creating music that everyone with a heartbeat can feel and relate to...I have loved his music since the moment I listened to his live album, "Live Bullet" back in 1976...The icing on the cake is that his live shows are heaven on earth.

Full circle story right there, like a rock, simple but powerful, love you guys and how you get it
Bob was (and still is) an icon from the city of Detroit in my home state of Michigan. He was always being played on the radio when I was young.
Hey guys, great reaction choice Bob Seger is the poet of rock impossible not to feel something with this song
Shining brightly is a great tune!!
Beautiful story teller, amazing song writer, singer , and musician.
His guitar touches my soul. As I get older I appreciate his music more and more.
He is the ultimate story teller
For me, Bob Seger is one of the very best singer songwriters to ever live ♥️ I’ve seen him 6 times over the years, first time in 1977 & the last in 2016 🎼♥️ Master storyteller ♥️ I fill in the line “20 years now, Where'd they go?” with 40 years now, Where’d they go? What a great song 🎤♥️🎼
"Come to Papa" is another great from Bob Seger
Bob Seger was highly regarded in his time- he was hugely popular and is still well loved in the US. He is also regarded by many to have the best voice in rock music. He's a phenomenal talent.
Bob could sing the phone book & make it awesome;) Fun fact: Chevrolet used this song for their truck commercials for 20 years!
Saw Bob and the band in Ottawa. I think it was 1978. One of the best shows I ever saw. He did Rock and Roll never forgets on the third encore. One of my favorite songs then and now. Love your reactions!

Have'nt you heard,"Against the wind"? It's amazing how the strong weaken and the weak get stronger, no better man than Bob to identify these things.
mood music at its best
Bob Seger is one of the greatest and always will be. Great affection and treat him in a song called we’ve got tonight thanks. The band were brilliant and great to the ear.

This song was used from 1991 - 2004 in Chevy truck commercials. Bob probably sold a few trucks.
His music is just great.
An American Treasure! Unlike so many phony super patriots, he speaks the truth about life in these here United States, and evokes a love of country that is real and based on his experience. One of the most authentic and talented American artists.
Every Damn Time. Every time..............you know what I mean
Love Bob, got to see him and the Silver Bullet Band in 'Denver, Colorado in 1981.
I remember when I first heard this song in the Chevy commercials back in the 90s
Bob is in the rock n roll hall of fame

Another GOAT!
Timeless
Listen to this song when you guys are in your 40s. It'll hit hard.
Man oh man, that emotive guitar. I’ve got to look up the guitarist….marvelous playing! Whoever he was, he’s underrated
Rick Vito
@@Straydogger thank you!

"The Fire Down Below" and "Sunspot Baby".
saw bob s in indiana many times -he opened for bigger bands sometimes
That's our very own Detroit Motor City ROCK-N-ROLLER

I love you guys. You react to my favorite songs! Btw, your audio is literally the best I’ve heard on YT.
The older I get, the harder these lyrics hit.
Please react to more U2.

2) Running to Stand Still
3) Where the Streets Have No Name
4) All I Want Is You
5) I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For
6) Bad (Live Aid 1985)
7) Sunday Bloody Sunday
8) New Years Day
That slide.
I Recommend Against The Wind by Bob Seeger his another big classic.
Seger is my first concert. He’s very famous, but I agree that it seems he hasn’t gotten his due. I think he marches to his own beat, and doesn’t placate to the suits and the business aspect of the record companies. Maybe that’s why.
This song gives me the sudden urge to drive off road in the rain, while hauling various goods in my truck. Not sure why.
This song was used to sell Chevy trucks here in the US.
Car guys remember this song from Chevrolet truck commercials in the 90s & early 2000s
Detroit! Yes!
"The ring", from the same album, have even better lyrics!
