Favorite Grand Funk Railroad Tune?

[FarLeftRage]

Direct from the '70s, the band the critics booed... but they still managed to sell a lot of records tho.

Which is your fave??

[Lefty48197]

1. Is that Dave Mason's "Feelin' allright"?

.

[FarLeftRage]

2. Yes it is

Indeed, and I do believe that Traffic covered the same tune...

[Lefty48197]

9. That's what I meant, the Traffic version

So much music to listen to, so little time...

[beniciodeltoro]

3. "Anybody's Answer"

[jdlh8894]

4. GFR

Flight of the Phoenix.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. They do a mean cover of "Gimme Shelter"

[FarLeftRage]

7. Yes

and surprisingly enough, they did quite a few great covers...

[CrownPrinceBandar]

6. "Queen Bee"................................

From the original Heavy Metal soundtrack. The drummer goes absolutely apeshit on the chorus of that track!

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. "Nothing Is The Same"

and "I Don't Have To Sing The Blues"

10. I had an album of theirs. It was red

I can't remember any of their tunes, but I think I liked this first cut on the A side-was it a hit or something

Black Sabbath opened for them in the Coliseum (home of the Seattle Sonics. Perfect acoustics for music :eyes:) I got in free, with my brother's gf; her dad worked there! I think it was 68-69. I remember 'Iron Man' but I passed out. I still remember my head hitting the cement and rolling around in slow-mo, but don't remember much of the rest of the evening. I did, however, pass muster by the end of the concert.

11. "Paranoid"

...From the "Grand Funk" album....not the Black Sabbath song but their own, complete with air raid sirens, a baby crying, and a screeching wah wah pedal...

And oh yeah I also liked their cover of "Gimme Shelter" too...

[miss_kitty]

16. Yeah It had a very stony thing going on there

I always listened to it when I was stoned

Thanks, count floyd

:hi:

[Skittles]

12. dammit

a while back I heard their live rendition of a kick-ass song - I think it was at Shea Stadium - a famous song someone else had done but I cannot for the life of me think of what it was. IT KICKED ASS!!!!!

[FarLeftRage]

13. That song maybe "Gimme Shelter"

it really is a KICK-ASS cover of the Stones tune...

[Skittles]

14. YES! THAT WAS IT!!!!!

I nearly got a SPEEDING TICKET because of that damn song!!!

[FarLeftRage]

17. Whoa Nelly!!

Speeding to GFR?? I can see it now...

[Skittles]

18. I always blame it on the music

"Hash Pipe", "Welcome to the Jungle"....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[FarLeftRage]

19. LOL!!!

I have the music blastin' so loud, that I can't go too fast...
Besides, where I live no one's around to complain.

[Skittles]

21. ooh - the last one - 91 in a 65 in Waxahachie Texas

"Whole Lotta Rosie" - AC/DC :o

[FarLeftRage]

23. Last one for me was 95 in a 45 zone

way the hey back in the spring of 1979... :hippie: in NE Ohio.

I think it was Steve Miller's "Jungle Love", but not too sure tho.

That time was spent way too much in a funky haze - if you know what I mean. :smoke:

[Skittles]

24. I spent some time there - not enough, but some

:7

[FarLeftRage]

27. Hey, that's cool...

:)

[Skittles]

28. In '79 I left the Air Force (I was a sergeant)

did a bit of post-service partying. Yes INDEED.

[FarLeftRage]

29. I was in college then...

My sophomore year.
I had an easy load of courses that did not require a lot of studying during the semester.
I had more friends in college than I did in high school and got to party hardy.

[GCP]

15. None, I hated them

eom

[NightTrain]

20. No contest: "We're An American Band."

I just lo-o-o-o-o-ove that record! :headbang::kick:

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

22. Whats the title of the song that goes...

I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man. Served my time doing the best i can. Walls and bars they surround me but I don't want no sympathy.

GREAT TUNE...MARK'S SOLO IS INCREDIBLE...I learned it as soon as I got good enough to figure out other peoples music by ear.

BTW...anybody who like the BS American Band crap never heard them when they were the ULTIMATE garage band. AB is so commercial.

[FarLeftRage]

26. I believe the song was "Inside Looking Out"

Originally done by Eric Burdon & the Animals.

Yes, I agree they were quite the ultimate garage band...

[Kat45]

25. "We're an American Band" - I love the slang of the day in it.

"That's a natural fact." "Hey, dudes, let's get it on." "The hotel detective, he was outasight."
