I know of another man from Nazareth who died…for our sins.

Yeah, the drummer.

i don't think i ever heard nazareth but i remember stuart adamson from the skids/big country saying that when he was a kid, if he saw them outside he used to turn his amp up while he was practising hoping that they'd hear him playing

anyway, that's my fascinating story for today

Only really know Love Hurts off the Dazed & Confused soundtrack, pretty thrilling vocal tbh.

yeah, love their version of it (which was the first one I knew)

My favorite Nazareth:

"Hair of the Dog" checks all the boxes: awesome riff, lots of cowbell, some kind of vocoder, plus a swear word. Used to see these guys a bunch back in the day, always spot-on with their cover versions ("This Flight Tonight", "Ballad of Hollis Brown", "Gone Dead Train", etc.) RIP Dan.

RIP Big Dan, here's where Nazareth invented Funereal Doom, what a fucking voice

Son of a bitch.

I had always assumed they were just kind of an ur-buttrock band, but then I saw the covers they did: Randy Newman, Crazy Horse, Little Feat, Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, Everly Brothers ...

Wow, their “This Flight Tonight”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9uvpr_gm64

his vocal on Love Hurts is so fucking killer, i never get tired of hearing it!

I remember reading somewhere that he was considered as Bon Scott's replacement in AC/DC before they chose Brian Johnson. That would have been amazing.

read that as Boris Johnson

“Whole Lotta Rosé”

xxpost holy shit yeah that would have ruled! I mean, Brian is perfect of course but DAMN

A friend of mine hated Nazareth because he grew up listening to the Hair of the Dog 45 at 33 1/3 and was extremely mad when he heard it at proper speed for the first time.

LMAO

if that were out there I'd definitely give a listen

Some days my favorite scene in the film:

I just listened to it at .75 speed on YouTube and honestly it is better that way

God I love that movie so much
