[coathangermidwife]

[sirlordwhitman]

@coathangermidwife hehe.. naw, Gun doing 'Race with the Devil' had a white dude sporting a pretty funky fro! lol!

[coathangermidwife]

@sirlordwhitman hehe yeh true, but you cant beat Mr Smith, just whats he's wearing alone makes this the best whitey fro ever!

and there Germans!

[rickfan1964]

@sirlordwhitman what about the guy in MC5??? ;)

[sirlordwhitman]

@rickfan1964 eah... not a very clean cut sphere.. a little nappy. Plus his gapped teeth made things worse. What about the drummer for Grand Funk??

[MagnusVideos]

@coathangermidwife Check out the guy from "The average white band" Hamish Stuart in the 70's!

[rb7magnetico]

Just tooo good for his time

[al8as]

AWESOME

[sirlordwhitman]

Oh my god, a death metal riff in 1972??

How can this be possible??

To think Led Zeppelin started it all... pfffth!!

[toecutterr6]

Actually it was Blue Cheer.

[erikfrankenstein]

Actually it was Link Wray.

[toecutterr6]

Actually it was Dr. Ross (cat's squirrel)

[erikfrankenstein]

Touche.

[PAULLONDEN]

@sirlordwhitman

Interesting and funny the same,but this is rather one dimensional rock, these kind of riffs were done way better by the likes of The Stooges and Hawkwind.

[sirlordwhitman]

@PAULLONDEN Ya, but those power chords are played real freakin fast. Stooges and Hawkwind? Maybe Raw Power comes a little close but it that album had a more punk/garage feel and Hawkwind- Maybe the live version of Master of the Universe on Space Ritual..which wasn't until 1973. One that closely matches Tiger Rock would be Highway Robbery's 'Fifteen' - look it up!

[bakersakter]

@sirlordwhitman dude sababth? are you fuckin kidding me zeppelin aint got shit on this

[sirlordwhitman]

@bakersakter to be honest, Immigrant Song was the closest Zeppelin ever came to 'metal'.. with a touch heavier than 'Tiger Rock' despite it being shoved down our throats from classic rawk stations for the last several years.

[dev3n]

Isnt this from 1972?

[Detroit1967]

Bad Camberg's finest.

[TheVidiHoes]

where can i get this album!!?

[lisaluvsmelluvzbrit]

man, they are so brave for just like, being around that tiger!

[shadygag]

Man, that stuff SMOKES!

[sirdarklust]

This was one of the loudest and hardest hitting hard rock LPs of the 1970s. Amazing stuff.

[zaxmania]

Nice to see this. I used to play their LP on my radio show in the 70's. Wish I still had the vinyl.
