You boys like heavy shit or what?

Seems like alot of the horseshit that gets posted around here doesn't have much swingin between its legs.  Oasis sounds like the bar out on SR-66 where my buddy got stiffed on some jenk meth, and I think I mighta dropped ludes under the bleachers with Catherine Wheel back in high school.  And Ride?  I don't see no pictures of horses, harleys, or cowgirls, and that's the only shit you'll see my ass riding.

Good thing I'm here to straighten you boys out proper.  Now quit playin grabass, smoke this shit, and lets get to it:

Texas boys got a bone to pick with people who write their own songs.  Lick-slinger Snuffy Walden credits himself as penning this jam (as well as supposedly co-authoring ZZ Top's "Chevrolet" with Billy Gibbons--which also appears on the above record), but considering that "Crazy" is credited to a couple other boys on Bloodrock's "Bloodrock USA" record from a few years earlier, I'm none too inclined to believe Snuffy further than I can throw him.

Good thing Snuffy's motto seems to be: "If you can't write it, just say you did and track a smoker that's heavy enough to whip the rattle off a snake."  For fans of Hendrix and Deep Purple wrapped in one of the burritos in the gatefold from ZZ Top "Tres Hombres."

You know I ain't about to give too much credit to a buncha limeys with a kraut to boot, but that Schenker boy can stroke a fret.  In fact, the verse riff's so good that they didn't hardly bother to add any other part to the damn song.  That's some down-home logic if I've ever heard it, keep on keepin on boys.

Not that I have much more love for them west coast types, but since Holden saved Blue Cheer's "New!  Improved!" from being a fucking coaster for my cans of Lone Star, I thought I'd give his solo work a fair shake.  Good thing I did, as this thing's heavier than a steer carrying twins.  Guess that's what playing with 16 Sunn heads sounds like, at least when you ain't gotta worry about a "grimm robe" getting in the way of sitting in the goddamn pocket.

Bonus Sunday Live Head-to-Head:

UFO "Rock Bottom" v. KISS "Rock Bottom"

Hard not to give it to Mogg and the boys, but to be fair Kiss apparently never really played "Rock Bottom" in the 70s--hence the shitty snippet of footage above--so it's hard to accurately judge.  The decision is yours.
