Grand Funk Railroad - T.N.U.C.

[Kavorkianloveslave]

Its the what the letters spell Backwards....

[TvSHOW09]

What's the initials the T.N.U.C. stands for because I'm a fan of Grand Funk.

[accusationChair]

Super Funk

[MudCow33]

Merry Christmas 1969!!

[lawvermont]

Mark Farner - great guitarist? Technically, no. Feeling? Timing? A little bit different? Yes. And that what counts - nobody else sounds like he does, or that band. I just loved their first two albums, a lot of the third. And then I said goodbye.

[rocconrollo]

@lawvermont Mark Farner is one of the best rhythm guitar players there is,and being a good rhythm player is more important than shooting blind solos to excite the crowd...

[lawvermont]

@rocconrollo I'll buy that. But I even think some of his leads were pretty good. As we all know, a good blues guitar player who does it right and slow is 100% better than the super fast with no soul. I don't think Farner was phenomonal, but he played chords, and had timing, that was just different. TNUC - nothing else quite like that.

[rocconrollo]

@lawvermont I totally agree on the nice and slow, I think that there isn't a word to descrive my hatred for the so called "Shredders",they totally killed the concept of Rn'R guitar playing

[rocconrollo]

Don Brewer is one of the most badass drummers I have ever listened to...

[loupro100]

@rocconrollo most definatly

[mggzag1tp]

the best high energy band live

[rocker3244]

the song has a drum solo like movie dick of led zeppelin

[L1ngP0e]

I love this song but have never got a straight answer as to what T.N.U.C. means.The Night Under Covers?

[mrsolofeo]

@L1ngP0e Just spell T.N.U.C. backwards. I's sort of an inside joke.

[Easleytee]

The Hendrix Experience and Cream were the definitive power trios.

[creamedrubys]

I love Don Brewer's solo

[uptheironslml]

amo esta cancion esta super chiva :|

[freefallin1309]

Great song, and awesome drum solo!

[montanarush54]

@dyhanendra- look closer-- montansrush54 was the one who refuted the statement! JohnGTR13 made the comment. Thats ok we all make mistakes. apology accepted. :) Have A Nice Day!!!

[Johngtr13]

No drum solo should be longer then 5 seconds.

[montanarush54]

@Johngtr13 -tell that to the drummer of Iron Butterfly, the drum solo on In-a-gadda da vida is about 15minutes or maybe more,

[dyhanendra]

@montanarush54 tell that to Ringo, when he played his solo on The End on Abbey Road...or Alan White during the 4th movement of Tales from Topographic Oceans..

now, if you'd said that no rap "song" should last more than 5 seconds, you'd be right.

[outlawcountryman]

@Johngtr13 Well if thats the case you would shit your pants at ginger bakers 13 min long drum solo on the song toad on the live version

[Johngtr13]

Mark Farner became a born again Christian.

[montanarush54]

@Johngtr13 -christians can rock too!

[tomitstube]

texas or atlanta in 69. that would have been amazing.

go don! long live gfr.

[andrichj420]

better than moby dick

[TheMarkRocks]

LOL Can't Understand Normal Thinking !!!!  CUNT

[haolesteve11]

How can you not this song. These guys are the answer to Led Zepplin.

[daneslav]

Now I remember why I used to listen to this non-stop back in '72. That drum solo is outrageous!

[Hellon999]

So if you play real drums!! Fuckin' beat!

[haolesteve11]

The drumer to me is as good as John Bohnam and Def Lepper

[valemoro1987]

yeahhhh,....i listen this music when i was 14 years

[ledzeppthebest]

C.U.N.T - T.N.U.C

[adopaz]

@ledzeppthebest: I first heard that album in 1970. But it took me about 15 years to realize: " T.N.U.C" -- Oh, NOW I get it!

[snappereth]

WOW I like old great things like this...there are a lotta warts in this song, but man so good. Mel misses some strings and so does Mark, but these were the days where energy trumped all. Excellent.

[Biotektan]

why are the drums only on the left speaker?

[TheDrumChannel]

@Biotektan Good question - Maybe the guy tripped on the cord :)

[pantercigars]

@Biotektan who knows?  Very stupid mixing work.....

[metalfreakpanic90]

wow havnt heard this song since the 7os when my uncle would be playin his drums to this song and smokin that columbian gold wow wat a rush lol.

[Kostas4e]

What means TNUC?

[koolbossjock]

LMFAO..Ya right.Just listen to the lyrics and spell it backwards.

[ultravenia]

@Kostas4e ...TNUC sneam tahW

[bluepez57]

Does anyone know the history of the groups name?

[47tooter]

its after a train in michigan,,THE GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD,,,later, just shortened it to grand funk.

[koolbossjock]

Grand Trunk Railroad.They took the name from it and changed trunk to Funk.

[wade8443]

Mel was the bass player right?What was his last name?

[bigsweatyscotsman]

@wade8443 his second name is schacher

[wade8443]

thanks -

bigsweatyscotsman

[wade8443]

Thanks TheDrumChannel - I got so excited hearing this again that I screwed up the names - but thanks for settin' me straight!

[Mikespyke]

this really fucking reminds me of schooby doo....hahaha brings me back to 7 years old. (im 17 now)

[wade8443]

Don Farmer is one of if not the best drummer of the '70's.

[TheDrumChannel]

That would be Don Brewer or Mark Farner - just for the record and yes I agree that no one touched the first 30 seconds of this solo back in the 70's or now for that matter.

[schwinkleknobs]

Oh ,, and In Need was way beyond your call of duty man.... freekin out of sight LIVE.... keep on rockin.

[schwinkleknobs]

Hey Mark... long time fan from Honduras. Been following you since a kid. (1/2/63). My sisters turned me on to your records in 1972.... you are and continue to be the best man. TNUC live ... that kicked ass

[GFRFan12]

This is proof that Don is the best.

[mykol13v]

what does T.N.U.C. stand for?

[B1G5H0T]

Spell it backwards.

[Virginssaintsangels]

[larusso83]

[acerb45666555]

footenote on Farners Lakota thing.......ya know Crazy Horse? he was Oglala. a tribe that is part of Lakota Confedracy. ...=Oglala, Minneconjou, Hunkpapa, Yanktonai, etc. Sitting Bull was Hunkpapa people.
