Unfortunatly, that comment was literally so noobish that the Translator actually walked away from us when we tried to have it translated. Something about not being worth the stupidity? -.-
I found a cassette tape of this in a car i bought in 96'! A purple chrysler avenger! Hahahahahaha... The cars gone but i still have the tape! :D It's crazy what certain songs remind you of.
you know for people who are good players but terrible songwriters covering is all they really can do, they'll go on to make great session musicians. They might not have fame but they'll have a fair amount of money
@ElriqED - Ever since I was a little kid in the early 1970s and first heard this song on my Dad's A.M. radio in his Chevelle, I always, even now, think that the riff to this song ROCKS, and, IT ROCKS HEAVILY! :) Take care, Bro! :)
I live near the town of San Antone (actually in San Antonio) I have been to China Grove a couple of times. It is tiny. But a nice place to be. You can even hear the music at night!
Some knucklehead hit the dislike button. Must be, who wouldn't like this feel good, kick ass song? Back in '77 I'd go back to the barracks & turn on the Doobies & everything would be OKAY ! Even if I was still in the Army !! THAT was a miracle, I tell you !!
Probably the most recognisable riff in rock history. I saw them live in the mid 80's, what a show! One of the few bands that sounds as good or better live than recorded. They really come alive.
The Doobs hit #15 in Billboard, 10-6-73. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Put 'em in the Rock Hall of Fame, already, right, gang? Let me know if ya think so, too!
@DaveWollenberg Not only the Doobie Bros,also my two favorite bands King Crimson and Deep Purple which are two extremely influential bands with so much talent and they haven't been inducted yet in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame either..
@DaveWollenberg the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame is just a commercial show aimed to entertain people of all ages,a lot of them don't have any musical knowledge or are kids that didn't grow ip with this music and only know radio bands like Zeppelin,Floyd,Kansas,etc,
Van Halen's first album was produced by the same guys as the Doobies...Ted Templeman and Don Landee. Same studio. Same 427 ms delay on the guitar. Same warm, majestic tone. Gene Simmons from Kiss produced a demo of Van Halen's first album in NYC a year earlier and it was missing this feel. The Doobies sound is why VH became so huge...just sayin...
An amazing weekend kick off song!!! I would have to say an even better cruising song eh??? lol Night driving windows down, cool night air, cute girl in the passenger seat? hehe! Perfect!!! lol
Alright you guys picture this with me.... You jump in your car, throw on your shades, roll down your windows and you cruise for a while all of a sudden right before you git the free way entrance this song comes on!!!!! One of the best cruising songs !!!!! haha
seeing them tonight for the first time in a couple of years,can't wait
