Masters Apprentices - Future Of Our Nation

[31lionsden]

Man - this band was doing metal before it was invented!

[stoobedam]

This is my favourite Master's song, has been for 40 years.

I also like 5:10 Man although I have never knowwn what the ??? it is about.

[Papa7851]

Chris Cornell from Soundgarden presented them as a big influence on the style they had !!!

[steeplepossum39]

A Blast from the past.What is the futureof our nation,in Australia it will only get better!

[shithead486]

What year is this from?

[OzTvAgogo]

@shithead486 I think it's 1971

[mrwilson41]

@shithead486 Thye played together from 1966 - 1972. Their stuff is still available on Amazon

[dreama505]

Doug Ford lead break is brilliant. It's all about feel and tone. Listen at 2.26....

[dreama505]

Great memories from a golden time. I thank you for this post.

[galman460]

Wow, I forgot all about this song. I remember coming home from school in those days and going straight to the TV to watch GTK.

[turnbs]

Real music by real rock bands, not the pathetic wimps we have these days.

[UltimatePsych]

get it pitch black and trip with a strobe light, ahahahhahahahahahh, amazing

[frameshift24]

just a few steps away from sabbath type material

[wonsworld]

hard to bellieve that this was written almost 40 years ago. .they could be singing about today

[nerunderi]

Ripper Music. I went through school listening to these guys, and they are still the best band I have ever followed.

[Labhrasdebuck]

Brilliant saw these guys nearly 40 years ago still knocks me out.....

[zogrush]

its like led zeppa and jimi put together SO MAD

[2bobrowdy]

Great song by a great band. I can remember listening to this on an album along with various artists back in the late 60's or early 70's. Thanks for the wonderful memories

[aussieangie]

Classic Aussie Band !!!

Brilliant.

[drumrrroll]

timely

[acerb45666555]

sweeet!

[pkristen100]

Dammm I can remember playing this song at our primary school break up 1972 and the teacher smashed the record, still a great sound

[TheRoryGallagher]

It is a HEAVY METAL!!! Early HEAVY METAL!!!! What a riff!!!!!! It's blows my mind!!! MY BRAIN

[Abrohill]

magníficos, verdaderos semidioses del rock

[OzTvAgogo]

@marcobulos That's ok....no one here knows about 3 souls in my mind here :)

[marcobulos]

@OzTvAgogo

:D

[Generatorhead]

@OzTvAgogo

Not true!

Or should I say, "it's a lowdown trick"?

[Casar1973]

these guys probably didn't sell well in scandinavia, I have never seen their albums in the record stores. too bad, they´re a good band. Is anybody willing to sell vinyl copies of their stuff??

[thehuntersaccount]

they didnt really make it outside of australia

[concordvinyl]

There's a famous story about this. They made their best album, Choice Cuts, in the UK at Abbey Road. They then returned to Australian, where they found that the album was getting really good reviews in the British music press. So they jumped on the BOAT to England. By the time they got back, everyone had forgotten about Choice Cuts. If they'd been able to afford to fly, history might have been very different.

[thehuntersaccount]

cool thanks for the history lesson i love aquiring new music history facts :)

[Highland45]

This track has a really threatening tone to it. It reminds me of the track "People, Let's Stop The War" by Grand Funk Railroad.

[inssig51]

this track is on their greatest hits cd. Better version than this. It is live. Awesome track thanks for sharing Oz Tv.

[dickefrauohnebh]

Really awesome, but If you can, listen to the Nickelodeon CD, it features 2, in my opinion, "better than the studio versions" ive Versions from "Future Of Our Nation" and "Because I Love You" and an 20 minute killer version from The Troggs song "Evil Woman

[jdg62269]

I was lucky enough to get the Nickelodeon CD a few years ago for $22 (used), it's almost impossible to find because it was discontinued. The original vinyl LP brings $500- $750 if you're lucky to find it. Nickelodeon is an insane rare LP.

[dippywatcher]

What ca one say? maybe not too much has really changed since 1967?

Isn't that a scary thought?

[saintsaji]

This song makes so much more sense now than it did back then. Thank you MA for giving me the gift of music!

[sinning1966]

It's really true. It meant back then something too. But I guess it's way more now.

[aussiegoosebumps]

Great track from a great band. Thanks for sharing OzTvAgogo.

[ultimateinfinite]

sex

[alanvking]

Never heard of these before..will check them out. Sounds a bit like the Groundhogs based on this song.

[fjbutch]

I certainly hear you there, I am actually discovering music nearly every day from other countries throughout the decades thanks to you tube and people who share their long lost vids.

[motoxbuddy]

Classic Aussie band with many great songs. These guys were very original but sounds alot like Black Sabbath from around the same time

[tonyiommirox]

exactly what i said, i love black sabbath [obbviously] and i love masters apperentices, its the perfect combo

[bounderm50]

What a Blast !!! Man, This Band is HEAVY....

[fxstwg1340]

[magicsitar]

Thanks for posting this gem! God Bless You Oz TV A GOGO!

[chrisb1953]

Classic lineup and a classic song.Thanks for posting.

As a schoolboy at the time, and possessing typical schoolboy humour, we had joke lyrics for this song:-

"there is no time for masturbation, what is the future of our nation"

Oh well, it sounded funny at the time..

[Napco205]

Kinda reminds me of Pentagram!

[hellaburns]

Haha, actually it reminds me of proto-doom in general... there's even a bit of Pagan Altar in there imo

[nomeat1]

well what is the future of our nation? up to you to make a difference

[datrhjnkihydc]

doud ford rocks. lead guitar

[Rossco9992]

Awesome Oldschool rock!

[poolfreezer]

GTK...!

[Heavypsychman]

Nickelodeon Live Lp goodie, pity the studio mics couldn't pick up the sheer monstrous onsaught of this song.

[demonsbutterfly]

I have this on 20 Explosive hits '71!! Still got it, a little scratched but a classic song.

[blondifan]

Had the same. That had some other good stuff two. The version of 'Future' on that was live at Sydney's Horden Pavillion, & has a better solo. Was the live album ever released?
