This is just a straight up up great rock song. Period.
One of the best ever
I was thinking there was a little honky tonk sound mixed in there
@@Trifler500 there british
@@jenifferschmitz8618 Yes they are!..This is a different sound to what came before, check it out...
2 yrs later and period!
Just a bunch of dudes with talent , no auto tune, no effects, no heavy mixing....just real music. MY GOD i miss real talent ! Keep rocking guys :)
One of the best of all time!... Early '70s... and thats a CLEAN electric guitar.... Electric guitars get distorted when you turn amps up or use distortion pedals... but ALL electric guitars can sound clean like that if you want them too.... Rock on!
Allan Clarke
I believe that is either a Stratocaster (very popular at that time) or a Rickenbacher guitar. Very distinct sound. Then came the Gibson SG's and Les Pauls that dominated the 70's and 80's.
That's what I was thinking, too, so I looked it up and it looks like they used Vox guitars...I only knew they made amps, lol. Still, could very well be a Rickenbacker or Strat.
Yes!
Sounds like a vox 12 string judging from the harmonics
They're just clean electric guitars in a straightforward rock and roll song. No great mystery. Classic and timeless.
That was a "normal" electric guitar. No effects, just straight through the amplifier. Very early rock sound!
Definitely used effects... just not a lot of overdrive
That's a lot of reverb on that gitar...
Sounds like a Telecaster
@@SoloGuitar1000 lol... yes it does
@@SoloGuitar1000 it's a Gibson with the pick up covers removed
One of the top 10 opening guitar riffs in rock
5*
There is no typical rock sound. That's why rock is so good.
Brad & Lex, their "The Air That I Breathe", "He Aint Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Bus Stop" are next for you!! Allen Clarke on vocals and guitar. They really used some reverb on those vocals!
YES! All of the above!!!
they won't listen to any of those songs... and they never respond to comments...
Love Long Cool Woman, but hate The Air That I Breathe. My mom likes that one a lot though.
Bus Stop is one of my all time faves! So good. It’s only fault is that it’s not longer. Lol.
Bus Stop blows.
That's the beauty of Rock and Roll, there is no fixed sound
One of the coolest songs ever🎸
Right on.
One of the grooviest songs ever written and yet I never ever really understood the lyrics. Cool. Thanks for that Brad and Lex.
When I was a little kid in the 70s I always thought this song had a Creedence Clearwater Revival type vibe. ☺
I thought it was CCR also🤣
CCR obviously influenced this song. The Hollies never had any song that sounded like this until well after after CCR had become a major band.
Best CCR song that wasn't actually by CCR. The guy from the Hollies does a decent job of emulating John Fogarty's singing style, but I've always wanted to hear the actual John Fogarty do a version of it.
Fogerty sued the Hollies over this song.
The Hollies doing their best CCR. Great tune.
It does have a CCR vibe.
Doesn't sound like CCR at all. If anything this sounds like T-Rex's "Bang a Gong."
@@maruad7577 Agree
@@ToddSauve It sounds like both to me. It has a lot of the T-Rex sound, but definitely has some of that swamp rock feel that CCR has.
@@ninja_tony Yeah. To me that is odd because I was born in 1958 and the first album I bought was CCR's "Cosmos Factory" and they were my favourite band back then. I just can't draw a connection between them, style wise or sound wise. But hey! We're all different! 🤷♂️
This is one of my FAVORITE bands - but I feel like I say that an awful lot lol - My favorite song of all time is The Hollies "Bus Stop", but please check out "The Air That I Breathe", "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", and "CarrieAnne". Those songs give you a good idea of their 60's sound vs. their 70's sound. THANK YOU!
My favorite genre as a whole is thrash metal but "Bus Stop" I think is an all-time best ever song.
Love Bus Stop!
"The Air That I Breathe" and "He Ain't Heavy" are two big hits from the Hollies that are likely to take you back on a trip to the hippie era. :)
BTW, we think nothing of it now, but back then, the intro to this song was fresh and amazing. I wouldn't say it started the trend of having interesting intros to songs, but it probably helped make the case and inspire other musicians.
Yes it was a completely unique song from their ballads of the 70s. The first time that I heard this song, I thought that it was Creedence Clear Water Revival. It is very American sounding.
"Station Wagon vibes". Haha. Holy Jesus do I wish I had a dollar for everytime I heard this song in my mom's station wagon growing up. Still an excellent song. The vocal melody is next level.
LOL, I’ve been listening to this song for 50 years and never known what the lyrics were before.
@@kjmorley Hahahaha, I so hear you. That's exactly what I was thinking about when I watched this video. Never actually knew what the lyrics were until today. Except for the hooks.
I always rode way in the back of the station wagon...with the dog!! I couldn't even hear the radio back there and the dog drooled on me!!
classic song, classic band
its a clean electric guitar sound, with no fuzz, delay, with some good reverb
One of the most iconic guitar riffs of all time.
I grew up in the 70s and there was nothing like listening to radio and hearing all those cool tunes as they were brand new and first heard on the air waves. Music will never be the same....ever!!!
Excellent guitar work by Mr. Tony Hicks! That guitar intro s iconic. Many great songs by the Hollies. I like Carrie Ann, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, Bus Stop, Look Through Any Window
This song also has a kinda of a "secret agent man" vibe to it, like Bond movies music or Johny Rivers song.
CCR meets Johnny Rivers
Love the guitar in this great tune. It’s what I call a “bop”. No nonsense or fancy stuff, just a groovy guitar and a catchy tune
This song is best heard on AM Radio, in a Jeep CJ-7, while cruising with the top and doors off.
Hello folks. I'm a guitar player and would like to help you better understand the sound your trying to describe. It's so cool that you've noticed! Basically amplifiers can produce a "clean" sound or a "distorted" sound- also referred to as distortion, dirty, overdriven, fuzz, gain, etc. Modern rock and metal music tends to use distortion because technology has honed it into a really awesome sound. But back in the day guitar players would plug into a "clean" tube amp and turn the volume up just to the point where the signal would start to "break up" and become a little bit distorted, which we refer to as the "sweet spot"... and that's exactly what you're hearing on this track. Good ear! Also, there are different types of electric guitars: solid body, semi hollow, and hollow body. Not sure which type was used on this track but as you can guess, the semi hollow and hollow styles produce a more acoustic like sound.
Brings me back to my hippie days!
Very strong CCR vibe.
They are another great band. Also and very deservingly in the Rock N Roll hall of fame. They had many hits.
Brad: "is this a mix between electric and acoustic?"
Us: "It's just music Brad " :)
Long cool woman. Lex springs to mind! 😁
Exactly!
You must be thinking of Long Cool Brad. Lex ain't long at all.
This song always brings a picture of a speak easy to mind when I hear it.
Hollies are a key British band from the mid-1960s through early to mid-1970s.
It's just a clean sounding electric guitar.
I've always loved this song.
The Hollies are such a great band. Thanks for bringing this one today. This song is so good with that iconic guitar riff.
I think what your missing is the guitars are electric without the distortion of later hard rock and heavy metal great song so good to listen to driving on a summer day windows open
This RIFF is iconic.
I'm a guitar player and think this is the sound of electric guitar without the overdriven amplification that we've gotten used to hearing in rock music where the signal is pushing hard into the amplifier in order to overload the tubes in tube amplifiers creating a distorted sound but not pushing it so hard that we'll burn out the tubes, it's a balancing act. Some of us used to put little razor cuts on our speaker cones so we could get a distorted sound that we liked, All amplification of sound used to be tube amplifiers but with the invention of solid state tech amplifiers got more reliable and lightweight and didn't distort at high gain volume levels, perfect for stereos, TVs and every other use of sound amplification, who all embraced the new tech except for guitarists, we couldn't create the electric guitar sounds we all know and love unless we could overdrive tube amplifiers, we can now create digital effects to create more stable sound effects but it still doesn't feel like driving a tube amp at high volumes till the sound starts to break up and distort,
Pretty much a staple in every classic rock station in the radio
When I was young I thought for the longest time this was Creedence Clearwater Revival, this song has such a Creedence vibe...
The Hollies really liked Creedence and they thought they could write ‘something’ in their vein. And they did…
Got vibe of a Southern Rock song. Great song.
The Hollies generally had a bass guitar, an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar in their songs. They are all Brits.
The Hollies are just plain AWESOME! "The Air that I Breathe" has to be next...please!
I used to listen to this song on those K-Tel albums with all the different hits from different artists back in the 70's when I was a kid
This is a particular flavor of "clean" electric guitar... A certain type of guitar through a certain type of amplifier to get this particular sound. 🎸😎
It's very similar to the sound commonly used by John Fogerty of CCR.
The way it's played here is a muted style in the lower registers, but it's a normal electric guitar.
The rock song itself is free of white noise as were older songs in that era. Pure musicianship. Without a lot of fill in instruments. A simple beat with guitar/s. Even the sound of the high hats were comfortably low. Maybe an acoustic guitar strumming with the beat/tempo but definitely an electric guitar in there as well.
The British Hit Machine from the 60“ and 70‘!
From Wikipedia,The song was written initially in the country/rockabilly style of Jerry Reed[citation needed] then adapted over recording more to the swamp rock[4][5] style of Creedence Clearwater Revival, in terms of the vocal, rhythm, and melodic style. Clarke imitated CCR John Fogerty's vocal style, which was based on the Creedence song "Green River". According to Clarke, the song was written "in about five minutes".
This song always reminded me of "Shake Your Hips" by Slim Harpo. The Rolling Stones covered it. Both versions are a great listen
@Brian H thanks! She sounds great 👌
This is "rockabilly," which is a combination of rock, blues and country sounds. And you're right about this song being a 1970s hit. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 2, 1972.
The Hollies are a British Band. "He ain't Heavy, He's my brother," and "Bus stop," etc. Great classic Rock Band, from the 60s and 70s.
60's... This was back in the day when Effects for Guitars had not come around yet.. Straight Amp & Guitar
I remember skating to this song so many times when it was released. I was too young to have my own money, so I would beg my older sister's friends to feed the jukebox and play it for me. 50 years later, it's still one of my favorite songs and probably my very favorite guitar intro.
Those were the days….
Carrie Ann is my wife’s favorite because that’s here name lol. Great band had Graham Nash in it that played later in Crosby, Stills and Nash. Hollies one of my favorite English oldies!
The song was written in the style of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Singer Allan Clarke has said he immitated the singing of John Fogerty, particularly CCR's song "Green River".
There are definitely acoustic guitars that you can plug into an amp. In this case it's an electric guitar played without the distortion. That's what the different pick-ups on the guitar are for. Where on an acoustic the sound is made solely by the body of the guitar. Then there are 1000's of petals you can run the guitar through to get an entire range of sounds.
Is this accoustic or electric? Who cares, this is music.
I've been listening to this song for 50 years and I only knew about half the lyrics. Now I know them all. Thanks!! BTW this was totally 60's.
Good Stuff.
The Hollies are a British rock and pop band that formed in 1962.
They regularly reinvented their sound throughout the 60’s & 70’s
Lotsa Great Suggestions for other Songs to check out.
1972. A song about prohibition in the 1930's according to Roger Greenaway Cook
This always reminds me of ''CCR'' and "The Rolling Stones'' sounds. On another note, out in the country if someone had a party outside this kind of music would always get people to dancing and definitely loosen up! Great reaction y'all!
The Hollies wanted to sound like CCR on this mega hit in 1972, & some people thought it was actually CCR because of the guitar sounds & Allen Clark's hard to understand singing at times on this👍✌️
I was a teenager in the 70's when this came out, an anthem to my youth. Glag Y'all dig it!
My most fond memory of this song was it was the first song I heard through the planes stereo headphones as I was taking off in Germany (to come home back in 1976) after spending 3 years stationed in the ARMY over there just east of Frankfurt. UH-1 Huey aircraft mechanic/assistant crew chief/door gunner, and one of the greatest jobs I've ever had.
I love watching young adults diggin' and rocking out to great classic rock. You guys are awesome.
Another band with an amazing and diverse sound
Side note - we named our son partially after the lead (Graham Nash) and our favorite member of Monty Python (Graham Chapman). You reacted to one Crosby Stills Nash (and Young) song - the lead singer of The Hollies is the "Nash" of CSN(Y). You can't go wrong with more reactions from that supergroup.
The Hollies, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield… I guess this is why CSN&Y is considered a supergroup. 🤓
Nash had left the band before this song.
Nash was not the lead singer if the hollies. Allan Clark was lead singer. Nash and Terry Sylvester
Did some lead vocals. But the vast majority were Allan Clark. Nash and Tony hicks very important as part of the distinctive Harmonies they had in the 60's
You don't always have to explain a song in words, it's art imo . It hits emotions.The Hollies are 70's soft rock and fantastic.
Yet another song I can vividly remember my dad playing in the car! He just celebrated 73 years yesterday and when I talked to him he was super excited about the Stones supposedly going on tour again 🙂 I told him about me going to see Paul Mccartney in May. My dad said that he hopes he doesn't fall and break his hip! I responded I hope you don't fall and break your hip dad! He busted out laughing. I appreciate y'all looking into all these older songs. I was lucky to have my hippie parents constantly play them all growing up!
That's a very naked guitar sound. No distortion, no effects. It sounds like a Fender Stratocaster. He just plugged it in and set the EQ and volume.
ok, ok we all know that this is a rockin' song, that brings back childhood memories. we all love watching Brad's eyes and facial expressions has he tries to figure out what the song's about, and we all adore seeing Lex just bopping and being just our Lex. BUT.... did anyone note her shirt?? What a way of honoring your man. Good on you Lex.
(by the way I originally thought YKWIM meant You Know We're Interested (or Into) Music. Which meant sense since this is a music reaction channel. Had to look up the acronym now I know it meants You Know What I Mean
To answer your question Brad,
I'm pretty sure that one of the guitars used in this song was probably a hollow body electric guitar
pure rockabilly,,,,this generation...needs to hear this stuff......pure power ....
I've heard this song thousand of times but one thing that hit me this time was how much the sound and groove reminded me of CCR. It definitely had a country/swamp flavor.
An early 60's band, The Hollies were nearing their end with this song in 1972. Their final hit would be 2 years later with "The Air That I Breathe".
The Hollies were a very popular band in their day, I once heard they had the second most hits in the UK in the 60's behind only the Beatles. They have some good songs, but they have not maintained that kind of popularity.
Bus Stop is maybe the most charming love song in rock.
Straight rock and roll 🎸
You guys should react to…
The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe
🎸🤘
There are electro-accoustic combinations of various formats, but this is an electric guitar using mainly the pickup closest to the bridge.
The only two songs that I have vivid memories of my dad (now 72yr old) blasting out his rusted up Ford pickup back in the 80's was Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress and that song Secret Agent Man.
Stop Stop Stop by the Hollies has a rocking banjo.
I remember in 1972 borrowing my dad's station wagon and cranking up this song when it came on the radio. Well i cranked it up as much as you could crank cheap factory speakers without busting them.
ROCK-N-ROLL baby!
Supposedly, the story goes that the band had broken up, it was 1972 , the singer did this song for his own solo album, but the bands last album needed one more song to finish it. He did all the writing, singing and instruments, and donated it to the bands " last" album. It became one of the bands biggest hits- so, the band got back together and promoted it, and remained together a few more years. Ps: if the details are wrong, its not from me, this was from an oldies radio show i used to listen to back in the 80s.
You REALLY need to react to "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother". They do a beautiful job on that one!!!
Guitar player here! The guitars in this are an electric, semi hollow-body Gibson ES-345 playing that iconic intro. The rhythm part is double tracked by Alan Clarke who also played lead guitar on this track, plus two additional guitar parts by Tony Hicks on a Les Paul and Terry Sylvester (I don't know what guitar he played on the record and he left before I got to see that line-up live🤔) and an electric 4 string Fender P-bass. A little bit of a rara avis in that it doesn't have the layered harmonies that The Hollies were famous for. I rather liked the older, Graham Nash era stuff. Things like:
"Bus Stop"
"Carrie Anne" (A "shy love letter to Marianne Faithful", as Nash would later comment)
"On A Carousel"
You guys crack me up! This is rock and roll! You can mix an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a slide guitar and a bass guitar.. It's still Rock and Roll! Brad was bopping along with Lexi, despite himself trying to figure out the lyrics! LOL! He has to be true to himself.
We didn't have the lyrics available while we were listening to this in our car, so we just made them up. The vocals are hard to understand so we filled in the gaps, creatively 😂
Automatic smile for me on the first note ..I can remember when I heard this for the first time ..my best friends brother was listening to this song while we were in his car on the way to school he was singing so loud
This is just straight up classic rock. My parents played and still play a lot of these kinds of tunes. The guitar work back than was on a level of its own. There's countless tunes from the classic rock era that you can make an entire catalogue/section on just that.
This band was always in it's own land.He Ain't Heavy is arguably there best song.Try doing the Heart cover of Led Zeppelin song The Battle of Evermore live...Have a great evening,and thank you both for an always fun show.
The deep sounding bass and two electric guitars one stratocaster one telecaster give that famous Fender twang that you like no sound affects on guitars straight through the amp
OMG my favorite song from my early days!! I had this on a 45 before going into elementary school and just about wore it out on my little turntable .. early preview of my rocker days! Great song, great reaction as always!
Okay you did „the zombies“ - so do the song „somebody stole my thunder“ from georgie fame :) its great
CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hollies, Love that band. Just a Electric Guitar with a little reverb and the bass Guitar goes, Boom Boom Boom you know the Bass Guitar. A Six String Electric can sound like a Bass if the lower strings are played. surlechapeau gave you some Banger Tunes to React Too. Enjoy 😁❤🤘
1972 yet again. Take my stereo. Give me back my tableside Zenith AM radio with the bedroom window open on a slightly rainy summer night. And the Hollies are on the air.
OMG you guys! This song is an absolute beauty!! It has been in quite a few movies also. Like Remember The Titans. The Denzel movie. The Hollies are a Rock Hall Of Fame band. And the instruments are normal rock instruments.
Classic summer tune!!!
In the '60'sThe Hollies were a British Invasion band like The Beatles, their song "Bus Stop" is an absolute classic.
Its just a electric guitar without distortion and bass down and treble turned up. Classic.. Play it all the time..love the hollies
The Sound is an Electric Guitar without any effects, no fuzz tone, no gain, no distortion, just plain old time electric guitar. Mid 1960's
I love dancing to this song 💃 Always have loved this song 💥70’s rock ✌️
