[FrostyVideoAlaska]

Rate the drummer. Talk about timing.....

[heranth2345]

You can't compare this guitarist to chuck norris, I mean he's a good guy and everything, BUT HE'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS GUITARIST!

[Frobe1357]

I think its safe to say that this is now without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite guitar solo ever, bar none

[macedonianvodka]

02:36 sounds like quagmire from family guy

[TheManWhoLovesToRock]

Why is Jan Akkerman not considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time?

[andzwe]

@TheManWhoLovesToRock: Generally because he's not from Britain or the US.

[tamijo02]

we humans are capable of anything

[skittleFreak6]

haha me and my friends are writing a song for a music project, and we're using this song :DD

[b4ryal]

motherfucking batshit insane11111111111111111111111

[adrenalinerushskier]

This guitarist is not human.

[flashpeter625]

@adrenalinerushskier Of course not. Jan Akkerman is god.

[fyctssss]

@adrenalinerushskier and the singer is a crazy leprechaun.

[mixerlo]

[Angusismyhero]

Every time I hear the intro of this song the end credits of Saxondale roll in my head

[stupidiestvlog]

I'm so proud that my father's friend plays in this band :')

[70s80sglam]

[ZerocolBR]

I only need this playing in loop forever in my earbuds and a machete for the zombie apocalypse. No clothes required either.

[Suweren15]

Pozdrowienia z Polski przejmujemy tą piosenkę!

[di01legg07]

This band opened for Edgar Winter in E Lansing MI back in the 70's. Totally forgot who they were but the yodeling stuck with me. Remembered them listening to Grand Funk singing about how Focus had sang in "We're An American Band".

[pozzytraction]

Hitler liked this song, believe it or not.

[Mrheliosaez]

@pozzytraction Yeah, sure...When did Hitler die? When was this song released?

[sonnytiger]

@pozzytraction lolol

[mycumonherface]

@pozzytraction haha this song wasnt out in the 40's haha :P

[EpicObama]

shane if you read this, then your a bitch

[deliman365]

ah, music to my ears. oh wait...

[Rowdyrecords55]

Incredibly original song.....the riff, the yodeling......the weirdness....totally awesome

[aliencheesemaker]

@Rowdyrecords55 The guitar riff was created by the guitarist and he played it to the rest of the band and they all knew it was a killer riff. So they were just playing it over and over when, completely unrehearsed, the drummer did a drum solo at the end of the riff and Thijs van Leer did a sort of scat vocal which later became the yodelling.

I hope drugs were also involved

[Hitmannzz]

NICE MATE!



[StoneyMcJuicyBuds]

Yodel rock!

[101McSteve]

fandabbydozy

[urkoolUncle]

When someone from a music background says "Name the best instrumental of all time", Hocus Pocus takes ribbon.

I have yet to get tired of listening to this song.

[elvispresley718]

@urkoolUncle it's really something isn't it i remember when i heard it back in 73 at schwab's dairy southside of peoria it just rocked me

[grantswede]

[timeout1958]

If I said "a building block of rock" would that be too much...?

[phillytom750]

Jan was the first to shred a guitar and it was only 1971! Way ahead of anyone else at the time.

[KingPin50M]

[Dproud2700]

I was in high school when this song came out in the 70's and still feel this song is something of an anthem to our generation in that time.

[littlewingdesign1]

@Dproud2700 Since i can't seem to comment on this vid before I run out of time~ I SO relate and think this song is beyond classic...
