[spoildn8410]

The reel-to-reel playing the guitar is one of the coolest covers I ever saw.

[MeinKleinerTiger]

They shouldn't do any gig in England for they will surely be called A.R.S.E. ahahahaahahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaa­aaaahahaahahaha

[theGrandMastaT]

Amazing song from a great band. I'm 14, and I just wish I was born a few decades ago, not '97... Every time I hear this song, I crank it up. ARS made a timeless classic

[huntingdogowner]

all that weed was'nt wasted , healed all i can say.

[capeguy63]

I smoked more than a few doobs to this one in the 70's :)

[capeguy63]

Great tune!

Just a good jam.... from an awesom band

[mcgaheefamily]

YOU ARE THE BEST BAND THAT GEORGIA EVER PRODUSED

[oatesfan]

[brianab31]

NICE!!!

Speaking of "homesick", my bro and I were driving back down from Chicago a few months back. And when we were in Tennessee we picked up a N. GA station playing an entire ARS album. We teared up a little and were thankful we were just about home to ATL. Even now, ARS welcomes you home! LOVE 'EM!!!

[moecritter]

Could someone please do a proper tab of this song so i can learn it and leave a link?

[lionssong2525]

AWESOME!!! I mean AWESOME!!! Great guitar work.

[mcgaheefamily]

GREAT GUITAR

[hawk1866]

Where was I? in jr. hi....trying to "kiss the sky", and getting those posters of Jimi& Janice. This song says it all.....RIP Mr. Ronnie Hammond. I saw you way back when and rocked out to your music. You kicked Marshall Tuckers' butt that night in Seattle. That was back in '82, and not '69....but the memories are just as good. Rock on in that place you maybe rock-n-roll heaven or rock-n-roll hell.....ya know they got one great band!

[CrashMarket]

For some reason I wish KT Tunstall would do a remake of this,she has got the rhythm and talent ,not fakeness

[pepperdogz1]

we love you Ronnie

[buenosdiers]

RIP

[mcgaheefamily]

A great band I saw them a lot of times never dissapopointed with them

[mta415]

Lead singer Ronnie Hammond died today in his doctors office today. He was only 60 years old. Godspeed Ronnie and thanks for the good tunes.

[meathead11111]

Hey all you motherfuckers...where the fuck were you in '69??...hahaha here we go paw paw!

[coopertheking420]

[astrox13]

check out Slash's collection of Les Pauls,kick ass!!

[95volleyballchic]

where were you in '69?

[EPB1965]

I liked Atlanta Rhythm Section for Imaginary Lover and So Into You, but this is good too. Lots of straight up, Lynyrd Skynyrd-like guitar. Good stuff. The video's cool too. Nice graphics. Good work.

[medicmunoz]

Are they in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame?

[gregboy59]

power chords! yeah!!

[sammsw1]

Thank you, man...I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

[ohso41]

I remember when this song came out- 1981- I was 16- in retrospect to me this was a symbolic end to the 70's- really the last Southern Rock song they played on a consistent basis at least on FM radio in the NYC area before attention began to turn to 80's New Wave and Hair Bands.

On a similar note- 10 years later I always considered the song "Unbelievable" by EMF to be the symbolic end of the 80's right before the Grunge era unfolded.

[torstn]

@ohso41 weird - "unbelievable" sounds so 90s to me. sounds like something shitty like oasis almost (little better though)

[ohso41]

@torstn

Actually it fits in right with the pre grunge era- bands like inxs, big audio dynamite, midnight oil, janes addiction,

fine young cannibals etc- To me the the 1990's officially began with Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[torstn]

@ohso41 well i always consider 80s equals slick mainstream (overproduced of course ;)) and 90s equals more alternative music... so while unbelievable is not 100% alternative it tends more in that direction so i always think of the 90s with it.... to me all the artists you mention is not the typical 80s music (well only if you are into alternative/indie) well midnight oil and fyc is

[ohso41]

@torstn

There was lots of alternative stuff that came out in the 80's.

REM, the older U2 stuff, Psychedelic Furs (pre pretty in pink) The Pixies, Concrete Blonde just off the top of my head. The late 80's was definitely leaning alternative, anyway, EMF seemed in my opinion to have more in common with the pre grunge stuff versus post grunge stuff (IE Bush, Live, Seven Mary Three, and later on Creed)

[torstn]

@ohso41 i guess so, but thats not what the 80s were and are known for, they are known for phil collins type pop music... and thats what i like... besides henry rollins theres not too much alternative / indie that i like, eg i like the "THE THE" videos from 1986 )

[sammsw1]

Is it on any live albums with Ronnie Hammond? What studio album is it on? Thanks, Sam

[highlander4646]

@sammsw1 qinella 1981

[highlander4646]

@sammsw1  qinella 1981

[sukumanlee]

[milkkratekriminal]

How about '79? I was smokin' dope and drinkin' wine!

[milkkratekriminal]

[nathanarizona757]

Love this song but I I can't get it out of my head!!!

[colonelsandersman]

I can't find this song any where on iTunes just some poser so be care ful

[skyfaith7]

The music today ain't got nothing on the music from the late 70's and 80's! Even my 26 year old daughter says we had the best music back then and we DID! ARS rocks!

[jcracker]

@skyfaith7 every decade there's good shit and there's garbage. it never changes.

[buddythecat2]

@skyfaith7 you are right about that!!!

[buddythecat2]

@skyfaith7 

[GeminiNightOwl]

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it. I always crank the volume!  Brings back fond memories of good times years ago...

[computarman]

Different than the music of today by being better than the music of today IMO.

[mindbenderr]

Thanks for posting this memorable classic. ARS ! I must be lost in yesterday hazy dreams and all! What A Lick!

[jillyhawk]

great song, awesome sound...had fergot about this ass-whuppin' band...make ya homesick, indeed...home is where the heart is...for days gone by....where were you in '69, smokin' dope & drinkin' wine...just an outlaw, like a buzzsaw"...yup, well, a few years later whence i became legal, lol! nice post...swanky...homesick for woodstock!

[Gtrucker123]

It makes me home sick for all my friends over in Vietnam 1969

[Pitfossil]

Homesick? Hell, they make me homesick for Doraville and I´ve never been there!

[crstrand1]

Sure don't make music like this anymore. I love this stuff!!!!

[skyfaith7]

@crstrand1 You got that right! Today's music ain't got nothing on this stuff! Even my 26 year old daughter says we had the best music back then!!!

[nashtndawg]

This song makes me Homesick for those days as a teen in Macon Jawja.. :)

[xflyer95]

I have an ARS version of this great song on my Iphone but this particular version is much better! Can anyone tell me the album that THIS version is on? Thanks ! Long live KSHE!

[zarkinfrood2]

Quinella is an album by American southern rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section, released in November 1981. (See 1981 in music).

Wikipedia is a life saver.....and yes, long live KSHE!!

[petmis]

this song makes me wanna party...wicked good!

[Decurion505]

Great song from a great band. Great images too! thanx

[frib58]

great great song

[perking77]

This sounded great back in the day and it sounds incredible now.

[FredMiller100]

I dont get why you put Hank Williams III on the beginning of your video

[fkngrvnmj]

First few videos was fun/suggestion from friend. Liked it so still using it.

[mvs784]

@FredMiller100 ..probably cause southern rock started with the grand daddy hank sr!

[codybrawner]

@FredMiller100

cause it puts an eye catcher to the people that see it

[theGrandMastaT]

@FredMiller100 a southern musician

[TheDriverr]

AAAWSUM. This track MUST be played with amplifier power exceeding 100w per channel AT LEAST to get full effect of those magic guitar rifts.. Try it - I works cos I've already tried it - WUNDERFUL

[benjaminlewis25]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Just learned of them from one of my buddies dads, and I must say, very impressed. This song is catchy. Phenominal Musicians.

[NoCaRAAY]

"Where were you in 69? Smokin dope and drinkin wine" and still doin the same 40 years later

[highlander4646]

@NoCaRAAY I hear ya man ain't never goin a stop until the grimm reaper comes

[RELubber]

I STILL have this album on 33rpm!!! Wouldn't part with it fer nuttin' !!!!

[fenderprecision72]

wheere are these Guys at ???????????

the new version who calll themself's ars should stay in the garage.

Skynerd did not record this song but Travis Tritt cut it deep.

I saw the new band at Monteagel this past summer. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!

the guys at studio 1 in Doraville would be embarassed. I know I was

[galaxiepilot1]

Did Skynerd ever do a version of this, either a recording or live?

[TheDriverr]

How do I get this on my IPOD. Great song, like being reunited with an old lost friend after many years - man this song is just so RIGHT.

[fiddlnbanjo]

Nice OUTLAWS pic, where'd u find it

[allindian1]

Equally at home in melody and rock! That's ARS. Bravo!

[flyingjay49]

Yeah great beer party songs of all time "thank"

[cobraman96]

Hell yeah!

[cinel22]

Heard this song yesterday on my drive home from work. CRANKED IT UP!!!

[LouisianaMan1965]

Rock it out brother

[snoble2k]

From Imaginary lover to HomeSick, Soft to Hard and both are great songs of their style. I tell you people one thing, this music makes me home sick for those days when music was diverse and great. Today is talentless and tuneless.

[coltjones]

could not agree more dude. music just isn't like it use to be

[moparfan59]

That was the first time I had heard that song since June 1982. Southern fried rock doesn't get any better than that!!

[msaich]

Rediscovering the music I grew up with, nothing better, ars rocks!

[pekoe]

Burn a doob an feel this Magic..

[apppleofeye]

One of the best rock songs ever,maybe in the top 5 all time best ,listen to it on a audiophile system with it turned up and you will agree ==the cover of Red Tape O:22 is a great example of the 70s and ARS ,,Good music with the volume up,LISTEN TO IT

[ott5178]

I've heard Charlie Daniels & Travis Tritt do this tune & they don't come close to the original. Southern Rock & Roll,people! Bow your heads before the stars & bars.

[cinel22]

LOVE this song. It's one of my all time favorites. Thanks for posting.

[tampatek]

Thanks for the post! haven't heard in AGES!  ...and EONS even!

[Socialist0Revolution]

THE best ARS song. 5 stars.

[Tyler55336]

This is such a classic. My dad has the record this song is on. and once I heard the song I was Like only crap. one the best songs ever.

[C3POROBOT1]

always loved this song

[kb1dt6]

One of my all-time favorite songs. Always been a big ARS fan, very underrated band! And until recently, it was very hard to find this somg on YouTube, so thanks for the post! Signed, a fellow KSHE classics fan!!!!

[LedHed65]

Oh man!!! Almost forgot about this classic!!! Thanks again MJ...You Rock......
