Hunters & Collectors - The Slab

[saoriley]

Absolutely brilliant !!! Thanks for loading up the clip !

[saoriley]

Thanks for the clip.... love it. Love to see them live again.

[ingeniusable]

I've heard one of their earlier attempts at this song and it was embarrassing. They certainly fixed it up and turned it into a "Hunters" classic.

[TheJellybugs]

One of their classics! Go out and buy Mark Seymour's '13 Tonne Theory' auto bio. A great read.

[0102dude]

AlfieNoakes......if you find one....post one pleeeeze!!

[eddie100]

Hey, it's a big country.

Let's don't fight for crap.

Let's fight for us and what is right.

I'm from the UK, you're from Croatia.

We all have have baggage, drop it and make a new world.

I am related to you, as a brother or a sister.

Scouts and Guides are always prepared. Are you?

[AlfieNoakesOhHo]

Anyone know if there is a clip of 42 wheels anywhere?

[ralcock]

best H&C surely...

[cwocky]

This should be the Australian national anthem. And yeah it does look like Selina's.

[SauronsEye]

@cwocky The way to go out tour, I'd guess.

[MrJames1364]

Looks like it is at Selinas (@ Coogee Bay Hotel, Sydney) on their farewell tour in the late 90's. If so I was there - great night ! Old bastards like me certainly had it good in the 80s-90s with the choice of live music on offer.

[SauronsEye]

@MrJames1364 did they only play one night at Selinas? If so, I was there. I can't remember any cameras but then that was when I still drank the alcoholic demon. A night to remember!!! A half drunk girl in front of me was backing up and rubbing up against me...I had no idea how to react......first time in ages I'd been let out alone after being married.

[VeritasNZ]

Old but still here is all good...Hunnas at their best, raw and elemental.Saw them every time they came to NZ, and caught Mark Seymour solo and acoustic at the King's Arms a couple of years ago...unparallelled!

[Sextus666]

This is Australia!

[leftofcentre11]

This brings back memories-Nicky where are you??

[highwaytohe11]

notice he is playing an open chord strum and mute, very raw sound, AWSOME

[hermitmcdermitt999]

This song has a fantastic bassline!

[highwaytohe11]

its easy to play and yes great bass line.

this is the kind of music that made these guys big, pity they went to big chorus harmony bullshit later on.

they should have stuck with raw industrial grunge pub rock, sounds far cooler.

[VeritasNZ]

Everyone's a genius eh? Opinions are like arseholes, we all have one, takes class not to put it on show on YouTube I guess...

[highwaytohe11]

shut the fuck up Kiwi jerk

[QuoVadis300661]

Must be hard to type with one hand while trying to find your small American knob with the other, eh mummy's boy!

[QuoVadis300661]

Thuh duh futh uh, thiwi durk.

Boy that's some vocab you got there Mr Ozark heavymetal dude. You sound just like your last president on a good day. Wheee yaw, highway-bob, y'all made a sentence...kinda

[highwaytohe11]

[21bodgie]

anyone know if the 1995 live album is as good as this? or is this from the 1995 album?

[joeyclewarrior]

yeah l can another slab about now.

[Hazam9]

caught them in a packed bar in Christchurch, the Gladstone, was a religious experience, fuck Im old

[mowster69]

Early 80`s pub rock forever....

[daktari9]

I was at that gig,they went off

[mytoob24]

Awesome song and a great version. It's about a truckie, as are all the songs on that album dedicated to trucking and in particular a crazed drunken truckie who sort vengence by driving through a bar he was just ejected from. Or so the story goes.

An underated period in the genius that was H&C.

[VeritasNZ]

Um no actually that's the song 42 Wheels..'I got a heavy little number...I got 42 wheels of pleasure and pain...I got a heavy little number...gonna head on out right through the Alice again..."

[HeadlandRoad]

Well, I guess it's their song, so they have the right to mistreat it if they want to.

[shakypam]

dammit, it was dumbed down, musically. But then, thats H&C post 84....

[ozzgirl68]

loved it!!!! thanks for posting it..
