@stickernation Glad you have things all sorted out. You must be a history major to know what's bs these days, especially when it comes to conspiracy, considering that you express sarcasm. Me, damn, it's a swamp muck of details.

Todd Rungren or

To me.. the Nazz was a launch pad for Todd... We all need to start somewhere.. and the heavy rock influence can be seen starting here... but the Philly soul sound influence shines throught Todd's Discograghy..
They never cracked the "huge" time, but they definitely were known...well enough to launch multi-talented Todd Rundgren on his solo career, and well enough to find their way here. Nazz made some really great music...had some weaker tunes too, but I've heard that where they truly shined was playing live.
This may be the earliest AMERICAN rock music usage of double bass drumming? I'm pretty sure Ginger pioneered it in Cream circa '66 over in the UK , but this is the earliest North American usage. Props to Philly!
@tomthefunky Actually Ray McKinley & Ed Shaughnessy were using double bass kits back in the 40s before Louie Bellson, but you are right, Louie really popularized it. I also think that 123torrent is right that this is one of the earliest "rock" songs with a double bass.
@123torrent Nazz was the first through the drummers introduction to the man who invented it,The Late Great American drummer-Louie Bellson. Chris Skyles of the Texas band Too Smooth out of Austin and Tommy Aldridge of Black Oak Arkansas were the next earliest. Tommy Aldridge,from Pearl Mississippi, is still the Very Best in the World! P.R.
Oh man, I loved these guys. We played this song and a couple of others. Great stuff. I saw them in Chicago in '68 at the Cellar (Arlington Heights). Fun show. They may have been too big for the room, though.
how come the nazz are not known like other 60's groups still are today? were they popular back then...or still kind of a hidden treasure? i have never seen nazz footage on tv...heard them on a classic rock station or ever have seen a nazz t-shirt. they should have been more popular.
in those days. there were elements abound that don't exist today. payola. like sending a goon around to radio stations to play your record, the three tier system. where your either in, on your way in or out, or out no matter how hard you try. or your nazz. i never thought nazz would even be remembered in this day and age. and i was there with them in the beginning. r lord
poor thom mooney. his best work was with the nazz. then in 1975, he tried to resurrect himself with a band, and album called Paris. the album bombed like a scud missile over 1991 iraq.
Rundgren's version of "You can't do that (Lennon)". Lyrics are written in an unusual style for a pop song(reflecting High IQ, low socializing skill). Claptonized guitar licks are dedicated exclusively to "White Man's R&R music". Every gutarist in this era who relied on pentatonic scale would show more or less Hendrix's influence in their play, but Todd shows every intention to refuse them. Clapp should've LOLed at this song for the direction Rungren was heading.
This is the best tune on this album.Great guitar work.I'm surprised Todd doesn't play this live,(he plays Open My Eyes).Love the double base drum especially at the guitar solo at 2:40 to the end of the solo.Great song. Thank you.
This song shows the genius of Todd Rundgren with his lyrics and the sweet, sweet music. This song could be a huge hit for someone who turns the volume down and maybe sings it as ballad- just like Todd did with "Hello, It's Me."
Pure psychological operations. This song was probably Illuminati financed.
