[Malcolm]

[Elrothiel]

Bob Seger rocks!! My favorite song by him is Turn The Page... which Metallica covered... but ironically the song reminds me more of Axl than of anyone in Metallica!

Lyrics here:

On a long and lonesome highway, East of Omaha,
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts were soon be wandering, the way they always do,
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing else to do,
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through,

Say, here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.

Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold,
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can.
Oh the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?
You always see my number, you don't dare make a stand.

Here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.

Once out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said.

Now here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again,
There I go, turn the page.

Here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage,
There I go, playing star again,
There I go, there I go.

I love Bob Seger and have a lot of his CDs. Boot DVDs are hard to find  but I have at least one that I can remember and it is great. I remember reading that he supposedly has new music coming out, to be released last  fall (2005) but I can't find it on Amazon  or anywhere. Anyone have any info?
And what  was the name of the 1995-96 release and is it any good?
Thanks

You're right, Bob Seger is an amazing singer and songwriter. Hollywood Nights is probably my favorite, but it's hard to choose.

[R4tfink]

Bob and The Silver Bullet band rule!

However thanks to a certain automotive company, I never want to hear "Like A Rock" ever again

[Irish rose]

Bob Seger will release his first studio album in 11 years Sept. 12, when Capitol Records ships the singer's "Face the Promise" to stores.

The interval between "Face the Promise" and Seger's last full-length album, 1995's "It's a Mystery," is the longest in the 61-year-old singer's career. The new album's initial single is titled "Wait For Me."

"It's a pretty high-energy rock record," Seger recently told USA Today. "I would say it's more rock 'n' roll than usual. I wrote a lot of songs, a lot of songs. I probably recorded about 30, but the best songs happened to be more rock-leaning"

Seger--a 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee--began his recording career almost 40 years ago, when he released "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" with his then-current band, The Bob Seger System. Seger went on to record more than a dozen albums, most with his longtime backing band, The Silver Bullets, and notch lifetime album sales of nearly 50 million.

Seger's 1994 "Greatest Hits" compilation has sold more than 7 million copies to date, and has remained on the Billboard Pop Catalog charts for an unbroken 600-week run.

If anybody reading this post isn't familiar with the music of Bob Seger, do yourself a favor and check it out... or catch him on his current tour while you still can!!  Granted, his voice has deepened a bit over the years, but he still sounds good and he's an amazing singer/songwriter... not to mention a Rock 'n' Roll legend. 

Cheers,
W.R.
