That was based on a comment on youtube...I wouldn't know thrash from deathmetal myself. My tastes in metal are pretty well limited to the classic rock varieties: Led Zeppelin, Dio, etc..

But it would seem the song is more familiar than I realized, I -have- seen that video before. Still prefer the dancer personally, she's much easier on the eyes.

You didn't disappoint me!!! I'm only on for a moment, but came by just to see if you had posted something new. Another wonderful choice! You are so good at this.

I agree that you can't really compare Daft Punk to Pink Floyd or Jimi Hendrix, but there's only so much classic rock (I guess it would fit into that category) I can take before I start to become bored. I like new, I crave new music - something I've never heard before.

Gotta run...will be back later.

Thanks for posting.... a great one, long forgotten too. I wish there was a radio station that only played songs like this - an alternate reality of classic rock "hits" that should have been huge (but weren't).

Even though I'm in my 20s I used to listen to classic rock when I was a kid so I still get a nostalgia kick. Don't Fear the Reaper...used to listen to that everyday for a month or two in summer . Strangely I kind of missed 90s rock when it was happening. Listening to Everlong and wondering where the fuck I was when it came out.

*quality.

I love this. The afternoon dj on my local classic rock station plays this every day. I smile every time.

From Wiki:

Freddy Mercury:

"...who was a Parsi born in Zanzibar and grew up there and in India until his mid-teens, has been referred to as "Britain's first Asian rock star". In 2006, Time Asia named him as one of the most influential Asian heroes of the past 60 years, and he continues to be voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music. In 2005, a poll organised by Blender and MTV2 saw Mercury voted the greatest male singer of all time. In 2008, Rolling Stone editors ranked him number 18 on their list of the 100 greatest singers of all time. In 2009, a Classic Rock poll saw him voted the greatest rock singer of all time. Allmusic has characterised Mercury as "one of rock's greatest all-time entertainers", who possessed "one of the greatest voices in all of music"... Biographer David Bret described his voice as "escalating within a few bars from a deep, throaty rock-growl to tender, vibrant tenor, then on to a high-pitched, perfect coloratura, pure and crystalline in the upper reaches"."

Marc Martel:

"Some asshole."

Classic rock, Bud Light, violent rednecks... what more could a person want?

We have a police band in Melbourne (Australia), but they dont sing propoganda songs, just classic rock stuff. Pretty cool.

This? This is not cool

I know it's considered a classic rock hit but it's getting really played out for Aerosmith to perform it with the artist du jour at award shows.

Partly, I'm sure, but it does make some sense. They are a Little Richard tribute band, so they are Big Dick. Rip It Up is actually one of his tunes, but paired with their band name, it does sound like some horrific porn film title.>> ^legacy0100:

Well maybe the name is for shock value so that people would notice them.
