Bob Seger’s ORIGiNAL version from 1972 will always be the best version in my opinion. He is the ultimate story teller through his songs. ❤️ He makes you feel what he is singing.
Not a huge Metallica fan, but they are certainly legends in they own right. They have a stack of songs that no matter who covers it, it would still be a Metallica song. With the gay said, I have no Ill will for them doing this, but yes this is Bob's song.
I'm with Lady T on this one. I love Metallica, but Bob Seger's version is far, far superior. Seger just had more passion in his expression. You really can feel what he feels like.
You can't go wrong with Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band. Bob Seger is an extraordinary story teller through his music. I highly suggest "Main Street" & "Night Moves". Thank you kindly. 😊✌
One of the great story tellers. He is the originator a Detroit boy. “ Like a Rock” sold a lot of Chevy Trucks. “Main Street” Old time rock & Roll” “Night Moves” Do more of Bob all his songs are great. Thank you guys 👍
This was my very first concert when I was 14 Bob Seger Ted Nugent J geils and Peter Frampton at the old Cleveland stadium first time I did a hit of acid too and I've seen Bob Seger five times after that love his music
Bob Seger's definitely my favorite or at least top to rock artists of all time he doesn't have a bad song in this catalog one of the best songwriters of all time give my boy Bob his respect and he's from my home state
His last year of touring was in 2019, I got to see him in Nashville on that tour, for the 4th time, just like fine wine Bob rocked it, and my teenage daughter got to go because she said that she liked him after hearing him so much being around me, and Kid Rock came out for the encore and did a couple of songs with him, two Detroit buddies jamming again!
My favorite. I went to his concert in 10th grade or maybe 11th, hey I’m 62! Went to 3 different tours waiting in line selling out and spending the night in front of the Omni in Atlanta to get tickets. No internet then. I remember what I wore, sat 7 rows back, of course I had to pay a real high price of $35!
"The same old cliche, is that a woman or a man"... back in those days if a man had long hair (as in long-haired hippy) the comment was derisive. Bob is a great musician with a fantastic voice. Thanks for reacting to this!
I was blessed to see this live in St. Louis in 2011. Whitey Morgan And The 78's opened and I'll say it was truly a great evening. Seeing the man I have heard my whole life and being introduced to Whitey... yeah... fuck yeah. When Alto let into this one.. a chill went out across the crowd.
Yell Seger was using a sax player before it was fashionable. The sax player Alto Reed passed away in 2020 at the end of the year. RIP Alto. Gone but not forgotten. 🌹🌹🌹
Actually you were both right. My ex-wife is a truck driver and this is one of her favorite songs. Many other truckers I have known like it as well, but then a lot of truckers love Bob Seger in general. He is a phenomenal artist, if I may I recommend you check out many of his other songs. I highly recommend "Like a Rock" you will recognize it from old Chevrolet commercials.
Me and my buddies used to hang out in a dive bar in Chicago called BG’s in our early 20s. Bob Seger’s greatest hits was on the juke box. This song got a play every time.
I get what you are saying Lady T and you are spot on! Texture like physically feeling something-rough, smooth...Grit is like sandpaper! 🤣 You don't really feel Metallica, you get hit over the head. You feel Seger, you feel his smooth words and rough/scratchy voice. He is an amazing natural singer and songwriter since the 60s and just recently stop touring in 2017 (?)! That can't happen if you aren't truly blessed with talent that isn't created and dubbed in a studio! Everything listed below PLUS...Her Strut, Come To Poppa, Old Time Rock & Roll! The great thing about Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band is you can close your eyes and pick a song and not go wrong! MORE PLEASE!!
Outstanding! Bob Seger has this raspy blues type voice. Very soulful. Saw in in 1978 in Memphis Tn. He sounded just as amazing live as he does on album s. Not a bad song out there by him. Try more please! Shame on the Moon is my fav 💙💙
I grew up on Bob Seger. He started putting out music when I was a young girl & my mama was a huge fan and of course I am & so are my kids and grands now. My personal favorite is “Night Moves”. But, I don’t know if a bad song by him.
I like how through the song he sounds worn down tired from the road but at the end he starts to rock again with here I go playing the star again here I gooooooooo in the louder rock ending as if he is going on stage as a star
MAJOR applause for u. Welcome to a killer rabbit hole- the world of Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band! TNT, you have NO IDEA. I'm so happy for what awaits you. Please check out "Night Moves", "Roll Me Away", and/or "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser"(LIVE- a rock radio legend). "Main Street" and "Against The Wind" will blow you away, too. OMG. Please give this a serious consideration. Take it away, TNT!
Seeger is FANTASTIC! Check out "Roll Me Away", "Someday Lady You'll Accompany Me", "Fire Down Below", etc. I love that you two like GOOD music! P.S. You two are really a nice break from my "grind". Thanks! :)
Bob Seger is a legend. The song belongs to him and his band. No other band could ever sing it or put it out there with the kind of soul that Bob Seger has.
I will never forget this song and what it means to me. Back in college in 1988, we had to give why this what was our favorite song and why. He wanted us to think and think for our self. Still to this day this song and Kid Rock "Lonely Road of Faith" is what speaks to me most.
It's hard to believe you've never heard Bob Seger. I will vouch for the following songs to be enjoyable or listenable. Katmandu Rock and Roll Never Forgets Night Moves Mainstreet Hollywood Nights Still The Same Old Time Rock & Roll We've Got Tonight You'll Accompany Me Her Strut Against The Wind Firelake Shame On The Moon Roll Me Away Bob was one of those 10 hit wonder types
When I saw Bob Seger in 1977, he was back up for KISS. My how times have changed. It was a very large venue Capital Centre in Maryland (gone now) and Bob Seger’s saxophone player was carried through the audience while he played! Today he would’ve been torn apart. Very sad how things have changed. Semper Fi
Bob Seger is a great storyteller through his music.. so many great hits.. Like a Rock, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Beautiful Loser.. Night Moves.. you don’t know what you’re missing..
Bob Seger was quite popular in his day. I saw him live once when I was about 20, which was about 40 years ago. Now he is for the most part, just plain rock and roll and I pretty much outgrew him over the years, but, I love this song. It has always been one of my favorites. It still gives me goose bumps. I love the concept as well. It's like it's saying that where you all might think being a rock star is all glamour, but in reality, it can be quite tedious; just another night and another show. And the girl is right, as I'm sure you figured out as it went along, that it is about being a performer and having to tour. Another song that I think is kind of about the same thing, is Lost in Hollywood by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Now this one is a jamming metal song, as opposed to a ballad, but it makes me think of having to tour and borderline losing your sanity, when all he really wants to do is get home to his girl. "In the L.A. night, the sirens wail." You should check that one out.
I found that a few other artists other than Metallica have covered this song. I never knew it, but one of my favorite all time bands, Golden Earring did so in 1995. I liked it. You should check it out. They are also famous for Radar Love. You should check out the live version of that one from their live album from about the late 70s.
One more song I highly recommend is Washington is Next by Megadeth. Released in May 2007 on the United Abominations album, it's unbelievably prophetic as it describes the SJW issues we face today. Actually gives me chills and goosebumps. Lyrics here: www.google.com/search?q=washington+is+next+lyrics&oq=wa&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j46j0l2.1538j1j9&client=ms-android-charter-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
This is a green light, or whatever color your stereo had, lights out, dark room song. Mine was green. Also heard many a New Wave groups with that green light
Not many can write lyrics like this man, they just keep coming, great line after great line. Dan Fogelberg has a line in his song "Same Old Lang Syne" that goes "The audience is heavenly but the travelling is hell". This song has real emotion - I like Metallica's cover, but this is definitely better.
Brother has SOUL!! Trucker vibes is what he did for all of the 70's! Check Out! Main Street or Like A Rock. Promise he has way to much SOUL!! From Detriot City as Motown was beginning.
Bob Seger’s ORIGiNAL version from 1972 will always be the best version in my opinion. He is the ultimate story teller through his songs. ❤️ He makes you feel what he is singing.
Heard this when it first came out! Never get tired of hearing it 🎉
I love Metallica, but James doesn't have the soul and voice for this song. They did an okay job with it, but Seger's version is stellar.
Bob Seger is one of the most underrated singers in music history.
I am a ride-or-die Metallica fan. That being said, this is Bob's song 💜
Not a huge Metallica fan, but they are certainly legends in they own right. They have a stack of songs that no matter who covers it, it would still be a Metallica song. With the gay said, I have no Ill will for them doing this, but yes this is Bob's song.
I'm with Lady T on this one. I love Metallica, but Bob Seger's version is far, far superior.
Seger just had more passion in his expression. You really can feel what he feels like.
Grew up listening to Bob first then Metallica, LOVE both but Bob beats Metallica on this one definitely!!!!!
Metallica is good but for a song like this, this is Seger's song, Metallica can't match the heart and emotion.
the lady is spot on
Not always...but originals are usually better
Bob's a national treasure. "Night Moves", "Mainstreet", "We've Got Tonight", so many hits. "Hollywood Nights" is an uptempo rocker.
Absolutely love love love everything Bob Seger performs just love Bob Seger!!!!
Bob Segar = UNMATCHED, TIMELESS CLASSIC. Period.
You can't go wrong with Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band.
Bob Seger is an extraordinary story teller through his music.
I highly suggest
"Main Street" &
"Night Moves".
Thank you kindly.
😊✌
I live in Metro Detroit.
Bob Seger is a staple here in Michigan... Since Michigan is Bob's home state.
Love Bob Segar.. Michigan my home state also, 💕
He embodies Detroit. He and his family live in the metro D. People that deal with him say that he is down to earth.
Night Moves - Against The Wind - Like a Rock - We've Got Tonight - Shakedown - American Storm
Let's add Mainstreet, to the list.
Katmandu
Blame it on the Moon!
Still the same. The live one in San Diego
California Stars. Mainstreet. The Ring.
The voice, the music, the words,, the whole production of this song is hauntingly perfect.
One of the great story tellers. He is the originator a Detroit boy. “ Like a Rock” sold a lot of Chevy Trucks. “Main Street” Old time rock & Roll” “Night Moves” Do more of Bob all his songs are great. Thank you guys 👍
Lady T connected with Seger, that’s how it’s supposed to be. It’s his song, back in the day when men were men
This was my very first concert when I was 14 Bob Seger Ted Nugent J geils and Peter Frampton at the old Cleveland stadium first time I did a hit of acid too and I've seen Bob Seger five times after that love his music
I was at this concert, Detroit, 1974, Bob seger is from Detroit home coming for him, alto reed was saxophonist, one of the best ever,
FYI: Turn The Page was written by Bob Seger.
my dad was a trucker & this was his favorite song!
Bob Seger's definitely my favorite or at least top to rock artists of all time he doesn't have a bad song in this catalog one of the best songwriters of all time give my boy Bob his respect and he's from my home state
Possibly Shakedown.
all due respect to Metallica, but Bob Segar's is a lot better.
Yep it’s not even close and I love Metallica
Am I Evil? ...Now THAT'S a Metalica cover! 🤘😁
Agreed
❤❤❤
❤❤❤
His last year of touring was in 2019, I got to see him in Nashville on that tour, for the 4th time, just like fine wine Bob rocked it, and my teenage daughter got to go because she said that she liked him after hearing him so much being around me, and Kid Rock came out for the encore and did a couple of songs with him, two Detroit buddies jamming again!
That "duh" was priceless....lol
“Trucker vibes, what you know ‘bout that?!” 🤣 hilarious
Saw him in the old Omni. Best concert ever. Played for 3 hours. He toured 200 nights a year for almost 30 years. He is in the Hall of Fame.
Everything Bob Seger did was gold
Bob Seger Night Moves, Main Street, Hollywood Nights and on and on and on.
Turn the Page 1976 from live bullet. Not bad from 44 years ago!
When Metallica covered this all I could think was, “Why?”
Something’s don’t need to be covered.
I had the same reaction. ( with all due respect to Metallica)
Because they can relate to life on the road.
Agreed
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
I grew up next door to Bob……..just a down to earth man….. He loves Michigan
My little Brother would sing this whenever we were singing around the campfire. I miss him so much. He was murdered on his birthday 4 years ago.
My favorite. I went to his concert in 10th grade or maybe 11th, hey I’m 62! Went to 3 different tours waiting in line selling out and spending the night in front of the Omni in Atlanta to get tickets. No internet then.
I remember what I wore, sat 7 rows back, of course I had to pay a real high price of $35!
"The same old cliche, is that a woman or a man"... back in those days if a man had long hair (as in long-haired hippy) the comment was derisive. Bob is a great musician with a fantastic voice. Thanks for reacting to this!
Haunting,wonderful song.This guy has a 50 year span of hits.
60 years span of HITS !
You just heard the perfect rock voice, smooth when he wants, but he growls when he wants, to me he sounds better than metallica's singer.
I've been a Bob Seager fan my whole life sence 1970
Bob Seger was a constant source of hit after hit throughout the 70’s and 80’s. Check out Hollywood Nights, Her Strut, and Fire Down Below
I was blessed to see this live in St. Louis in 2011. Whitey Morgan And The 78's opened and I'll say it was truly a great evening. Seeing the man I have heard my whole life and being introduced to Whitey... yeah... fuck yeah. When Alto let into this one.. a chill went out across the crowd.
Yell Seger was using a sax player before it was fashionable. The sax player Alto Reed passed away in 2020 at the end of the year. RIP Alto. Gone but not forgotten. 🌹🌹🌹
This is the original live recording from 1973. As you can see this video is a collection of Bob Seger performances through the decades.
Actually you were both right. My ex-wife is a truck driver and this is one of her favorite songs. Many other truckers I have known like it as well, but then a lot of truckers love Bob Seger in general. He is a phenomenal artist, if I may I recommend you check out many of his other songs. I highly recommend "Like a Rock" you will recognize it from old Chevrolet commercials.
Thank you for liking my aspirations and being one of my biggest fan, hope you don’t stop someday?
Michigan R&R ! Bob Seger Forever !
Im from michigan. Bob is huge here. Keep playing him. ill keep coming back.
She got it from the beginning. Don't know what hubby was thinking. The lyrics are simple and evocative.
This was one of my Dads favorite songs. Makes me think of him and brings back many memories.
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
Me and my buddies used to hang out in a dive bar in Chicago called BG’s in our early 20s. Bob Seger’s greatest hits was on the juke box. This song got a play every time.
My all time favorite performer
This one is so sad, about someone who is trapped by his success and lifestyle. A good end-of-summer song.
I get what you are saying Lady T and you are spot on! Texture like physically feeling something-rough, smooth...Grit is like sandpaper! 🤣 You don't really feel Metallica, you get hit over the head. You feel Seger, you feel his smooth words and rough/scratchy voice. He is an amazing natural singer and songwriter since the 60s and just recently stop touring in 2017 (?)! That can't happen if you aren't truly blessed with talent that isn't created and dubbed in a studio!
Everything listed below PLUS...Her Strut, Come To Poppa, Old Time Rock & Roll!
The great thing about Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band is you can close your eyes and pick a song and not go wrong! MORE PLEASE!!
Old time rock and roll, turn the page, holly wood nights, like a rock, we got tonight, Main Street and night moves. All classics
Outstanding! Bob Seger has this raspy blues type voice. Very soulful. Saw in in 1978 in Memphis Tn. He sounded just as amazing live as he does on album s. Not a bad song out there by him. Try more please! Shame on the Moon is my fav 💙💙

I like how through the song he sounds worn down tired from the road but at the end he starts to rock again with here I go playing the star again here I gooooooooo in the louder rock ending as if he is going on stage as a star
'Like A Rock'... definitely. Also, an amazing beat in 'Still The Same'... both by Bob Seger.
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
MAJOR applause for u. Welcome to a killer rabbit hole- the world of Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band! TNT, you have NO IDEA. I'm so happy for what awaits you. Please check out "Night Moves", "Roll Me Away", and/or "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser"(LIVE- a rock radio legend). "Main Street" and "Against The Wind" will blow you away, too. OMG. Please give this a serious consideration. Take it away, TNT!
I went to Seger's concerts each time he came to town. Always a good time and always quality shows..
Against the Wind was another great Bob Seger hit.
He's the best, he's telling a very deep story of being tired. And maybe thinking about retirement. Turning the page. Love Segar
Oh you have so many more Bob Seger songs out there is react to and none will disappoint.
"Against the wind "is a vibe,also "Like a Rock".Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.
Seeger is FANTASTIC! Check out "Roll Me Away", "Someday Lady You'll Accompany Me", "Fire Down Below", etc. I love that you two like GOOD music! P.S. You two are really a nice break from my "grind". Thanks! :)
You need to check out more of his music. He has great story telling songs and a wonderful voice!
Bob Seger is a legend. The song belongs to him and his band. No other band could ever sing it or put it out there with the kind of soul that Bob Seger has.
All those shots in the back ground are of Bob at different stages in his career He still tours at 70 some years of age With white hair now
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
Bob Seger has been performing for 50 years
I love Bob Seger but this is my first time hearing this song too. 😊
U definitely need to go down this gold rabbit hole! Bob Segar is amazing!!!
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
One of my personal favorites.
You hit the nail on the head about the meaning! Most people don't. I was a teenager when Seger was so popular.
He sang this song at the ceremony to induct Seger to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It’s about his constant touring when he was HUGE.
You have opened up a Pandora's box with Bob Seger! Wow he's an american treasure and nobody is better at storytelling! And that voice, man!!
He rules!!!!!! Thankyou
Just another product of Detroit and Ann Arbor Michigan rock. I love it!
Bob is a Michigan icon.
He could sell out the Pine Knob amphitheatre 6-7 shows in a row.
Nice choice. Love Bob!
Bob Seger is the OG.
The King of Detroit Rock & Roll
I will never forget this song and what it means to me. Back in college in 1988, we had to give why this what was our favorite song and why. He wanted us to think and think for our self. Still to this day this song and Kid Rock "Lonely Road of Faith" is what speaks to me most.
Pure poetry.

He is talking about being a Rock and Roll ⭐️.
When I saw Bob Seger in 1977, he was back up for KISS. My how times have changed.

Hey, nothing wrong with Truckers. I am a retired trucker, and yes, this is a great tune to listen driving down the Hyw! As are a lot of his music! 🎉
great one, a favorite, my favorite by him may be You'll Accompany Me, great stuff
Bob Seger is a great storyteller through his music.. so many great hits.. Like a Rock, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Beautiful Loser.. Night Moves.. you don’t know what you’re missing..

One of my favorites.😎
This lady let her self go and felt what song was about she got lost in it👍👍👍
My older brother took me to my first concert, Bob Seger at MSG in New York City i believe in 1983…still one of my faves to this day
Against the wind...... you'll love it
Rock staple
When Bob segar wrote turn the page he said that touring bands & truck drivers would probably be the only people that truly understand the song
This song is almost impossible not to sing along to.
Old time rock and roll,Katmandu,Betty Lou, Hollywood nights,Fire lake,
This is a green light, or whatever color your stereo had, lights out, dark room song. Mine was green. Also heard many a New Wave groups with that green light
It is the life of an entertainer on the road.
The great thing about music is that a song can mean different things to different people
Don't worry T, I've been listening to this song for 50 years and I get trucker vibes too
He's awesome!
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
Not many can write lyrics like this man, they just keep coming, great line after great line. Dan Fogelberg has a line in his song "Same Old Lang Syne" that goes "The audience is heavenly but the travelling is hell". This song has real emotion - I like Metallica's cover, but this is definitely better.
Next journey to go on. Bob Seger is one of the best story tellers through his songs of all time. He is amazing
Brother has SOUL!! Trucker vibes is what he did for all of the 70's! Check Out! Main Street or Like A Rock. Promise he has way to much SOUL!! From Detriot City as Motown was beginning.
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
Such a classic
