Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Hey, love hurts. And that's all I have to say.

I liked that one song, but how easy is it to do a c or d on a bund that you have hardly even heard beyond that overpressed and played song. "Loooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeee Hurts!!"

Luptune Pitman, Saturday, 21 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mama, mama please, no more facelifts, I don't know who my daddy is!

That's the only song I remember from them.

oh boy that "messin w/ son of a bitch" song is GOOD ("Hair o' the Dog"...my favourite - the version of "Hollis Brown" on the record w/ the awesome peacock cover. for a band that often epitomised yr pedestrian '70s "HRS" (= "Hard Rockin Shit"...copyright Dellio/ Woods) they sometimes flew pretty high.

parentheses supposed to close after "Hair of the Dog")

duane, Saturday, 21 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, classic, though all I've ever heard is their greatest hits LP. A hard rock version of a Joni Mitchell tune? Sneaky, or what? And now, thanks to this thread, "Hair of the Dog" is running through my head again for the first time in 15 year. Thanks, ILM!

They did have a knack for great folk song cover versions:

I really like the feedback in the background of some of the verses in the Joni cover.

Plus, that galloping horse riff!

Wondering if Joni or Dylan ever weighed in on these versions? I wouldn't expect them to like them, but you'd have to respect how Nazareth made them their own.

Then again, Dylan was raving about the Eagles in this weekend's NYTimes, specifically "New Kid In Town", "One Of These Nights" and "Pretty Maids All In A Row" (which he called "maybe the greatest song ever"), so who knows...

Honestly, how fucking great is this.

it's practically DEAN BLUNT for chrissakes, in 1982, and by NAZARETH

some random album track from some time when no one cared about them anymore and yet it's this stunning dubby post-punk jangle/minimal wave/woojimawotsit robert turman x minny pops lovely shimmering thing. my friend thinks he weirdly sounds like horace andy at the start but even as he goes all hoary aor rock voice towards the end the music rises to meet the odd-marriage occasion with these panned accent-colour synth whirls and it's just oh wow why is this so damn good.

there's another track on the album, 'mexico', that sounds like folksy darkwave with the chords of 'piano' by tricky. side two of rage in eden meets all about eve. odd stuff.

The video's not showing up. What is it?

The synth bits make sense as that was from when John Locke (ex-Spirit and early adopter of synths in general) was in the band.

currently obsessed with "Whatever You Want Babe" from 79
perfect little power pop stomper
beginning guitar almost reminds me of an early Eno album, the first line is SO AXL ROSE like it's crazy how much he took from Dan McCafferty

just a perfect pop song
