What say you, preludin? Is it a thumbs up or down to the Heep's '72 single? Is it hard rock, progressive rock? Does it matter?

Yeah, I've got a real soft spot for it. And 'Traveller In Time', which I think comes before it on the album. Loads of fun.

It sounds like a Metal cliche. In it's defence it's probably one of those formative tracks that helped create the cliche in the first place, but it's not for me.

Not a big Heep fan, but I always liked this track and still do.

prefer Stealin'
The ultimate Spinal Tap template: 5 goofy hairy Englishmen, were they progressive, prog, hard rock, metal, even MOR sometime? eh, who cares. The history of rock writ small, but pretty much the same story over and over: white guys with guitars being rotten to each other, jealousies, back stabbing. None of the band attended lead singer Byron's funeral (age 38; alcohol related), yet they had invited him back a few years earlier, after Hensley left ( Life lesson: if someone insists on certain conditions or they are leaving, even if said conditions are met, they are eventually still leaving). 4 US Gold albums spoiled the band, lots of personnel changes and a few deaths, two classic roger dean covers. Ken Hensley is a minor Zelig connecting them to prog, psych, krautrock, southern rock, LA glam, etc., Major stars in former Iron Curtain countries, writing some totally alternative history of RnR to the standard Western one. Stealin', indeed.

Not short enough! I could have sworn that's you in the audience screaming on the Live album. |
