idk i can picture wayne and garth banging their head to it. maybe they were more sophisticated than the average butt rockers. also, it's got a big dumb riff and a big dumb chorus ("metal wounds not heeeeealing"), and it inspired a big dumb rap song by trick daddy and lil jon.

The bass is so 80s sounding on that Babys track, but everything else is butt beyond belief!

buttrock can’t be just dumb or it’d be literally all of 70’s hard rock lol

also wayne & garth headbanged to queen & bohemian rhapsody is for sure not buttrock. wayne & garth are heshers, not buttrockers

sleaze is the key, music and or lyrics

music that makes creepy camaro dudes wiggle their butt

This revive and Dusty Hill's death has me contemplating the line between smart-dumb and stupid-dumb in rock once again. I have a hard time calling ZZ Top butt, but I can't pinpoint how their wit shines through in "Tush", so literally and figuratively buttrock head to bottom, and yet and yet and yet I can't quite call it that.

you cant think of it as a judgement. maybe it was intended that way but it’s easier if you just treat it like a fun theoretical subgenre

“oh this song is good/i like this band/ therefore it’s not buttrock” will get you nowhere

it’s the vibe that takes it there. buttrock ~is~ creepy & dumb & sleazy but it’s not just bad music that belongs here

plus it’s a vibe that has been at the heart of rock n roll since elvis waggled his pelvis

One sign of wit or at least winking in "Tush" is that you have this Texas boogie band using the Yiddish term for butt. That's pretty funny.

grand funk
bto
bad company
edgar winter band - “frankenstein”
some joe walsh?

yeah maybe joe!

alright guys the butt is getting a lil too greasy in here let's make sure we keep an eye on that

If there's one thing butt rock is generally not it's slick.

VG, what are your thoughts on Born in the USA as buttrock?

Head East were only mentioned briefly once in this thread, but I think they've got the goods. Earnest, sturdy, plodding meat and potatoes rock with no pretensions to metal. No pretensions to anything, except the joys of Gettin' Lucky with a Fly By Night Lady.

Aw, turn on your radio, and put your ear to the sweet sweet music
And take your baby and hold her in your arms and let the music go...

I guess I always thought it was a strictly 70s thing… maybe stretching back to 68 or so

When we moved there in '78 - our next door neighbor was a divorced sales guy for Pepsi that had like 4 teenage sons (no mom). The dad looked kinda like Herb Tarlek with the checkered leisure pans etc. Their house was complete madness, with tons of Pepsi on the shelf, HBO on the TV and dad not much around - which meant all sorts of crazy stuff going on.

The older brother looked pretty much like Wooderson, the two middle sons were twins Denny and Danny that had big curly fros and glasses and me and my buddies hung out with the youngest kid who was a couple years older than me (I was like 8-9 at the time). The twin brothers were geeky and were always like using those old metal tennis ball cans and building cannons with lighter fluid and using M80s to blow shit up. They literally got me high a few times as a kid like age 8-9. I remember well listening to the first Cars record on LP and like the world melting down.

Couple years later the dad started dating this redheaded English lady and they eventually got married and moved out. How the heck he met a English woman in Muncie in the that era, I still wonder how it happened.

This sounds a lot like the dirtbag brothers who lived across the street from me with their widowed dad. Their mom was alive when I moved to the neighborhood, but then she got cancer and after she died, he used to lock himself in their backyard shed and drink all day, so the two brothers basically took over the house. I was forbidden to hang out with them, but of course that's where I spent my afternoons when my mom was at work. They listened to some lunkheaded shit — Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, KISS — but they were also into Zappa, the Residents, ELP and Captain Beefheart, all of which I learned about over there.

Thanks, VG!

Is Mott the Hoople - "Sucker" too glam for buttrock, cause it makes me feel like I need a shower after listening to it.

I mean, having Bowie on sax by definition probably means it's not.

Good one. Mommas Little Jewel too

So buttrock it needs to be cancelled:

Mott’s a bit too glam, piano-y, too “bright”? Not nasty-sounding enough.

Definitely Grand Funk though, they are automatically a shoo-in for buttrock

also pkbr raises a good criteria

“if it would get you cancelled ….it MIGHT be buttrock”

butt beyond belief!

<"Black Betty" riff plays>

"Hey man, is that Butt Beyond Belief?"

"Yeah man!"

"Well, turn it up man!!!"

lmao
