"Slow Ride" the final cut in the movie "Dazed and Confused", which has one of the best sound tracks ever!

Guys.. this is NOT about driving in a car! And the last long riff was the "climax" of his slow ride! My favorite Foghat song is "I Just Wanna Make Love To You!" And if you ever played Guitar Hero, this is the first song on there! ❤️🎼🎸✌️

@Asia and BJ This was released in 1975. Seventies had some serious funk over all. It was folk crashing into the rock. Not about cars, clearly. Now this is also a traveling song. Top down, blasting this down the Pacific Hwy in California. Dolphins in the ocean on one side, rolling green meadows with cows grazing, on the other side. I just close my eyes and go there. One of the prettiest places in this country, rocking to great music. Note… song used in Allstate commercial. BJ… no problem with talking with your hands.

It's a slide guitar. A total masterpiece of a song.

Even without the lyrics, the pacing and tempo of the music tells the whole story. The slow, but steady pace at the beginning, the slower breakdown to “rest”, the buildup and the release at the end and the ”Boom goes the dynamite” finale! Great song! Great reaction!

It’s the perfect song they used to end the film “Dazed & Confused”…awesome movie!

A VERY popular song in the 70's. I saw Foghat & The Police in 1981. Killer show. .Foghat is VERY underrated.I suggest their album FOOL FOR THE CITY. The name Foghat means you have a foggy head from some sweet leaf.

Dude, what company do you work for and are they hiring?

The Bass is why you feel the funk. He's playing slap bass. And that guitar is slide guitar.

It's so funny how so many classic songs have moments where Asia breaks out laughing when she snaps to the meaning and gets the joke.

I drove a 1968 camaro in highschool and cranked FogHat - Live on 8 - track all the time. this song as well as a bunch of other great rock songs are part of the sound track for the movie " Dazed and Confused " a cult classic movie that is worth watching.

HOLY MOLY! This song is the epitome of “Gettin’ it on”. It’s a great song. I remember when it came out. That was in the 70’s. Fast Forward to 1993. That’s when Richard Linklater’s “Dazed & Confused” hit the scene. You know, Matthew McConaughey’s first movie and where he coined the phrase “Alright, Alright, Alright”. So, this song was at the end. For me, it is a memory-placement song because I think about that movie when I hear it.

Their live version of I just want to make love to you is even better.

This band was crazy right he could sing forever and was one of the to bring slide guitar to the forefront in rock along with Johnny winter hes killing it and yes the bass player and musicians listened to everything great groove

Lots of great songs. Honey Hush, Fool For the City, My Babe, Third Time Lucky, Drivin Wheel, Home in My Hand, and Road Fever. They were all over the place from the mid 70’s to early 80’s. Just great blues rock.

This song has that extra groovy bass line. It has been in a few movies.

Rod Price on lead guitar .... LEGENDARY !

BJ got the “meaning” of this “Love” song pretty quickly. 😆 😆 Now, try to imagine “moving” slowly to that beat, with it speeding up to it’s “climax”! That’s the whole meaning behind the song! It’s a true “banger” song! 😂 😂 😂

I remember sitting in my brother's clubhouse bothering him as usual. He was six years older than me so as a teenage that was probably the time he least wanted to be bothered but he always made time for me because of things going on at home. He introduced me to Foghat with this song. It's epic for sure and so are they!

Foghat was one of the top live acts of the 1970's. Stadiums, Arenas, Big Theaters, they had it all, for a time. Then... .

I think the most epic use of this song in a movie was the end of "Dazed and Confused" ................"Alright alright alright"

The late great Rod Price on lead slide guitar. He was one of the guitar Gods of the Classic Rock era!

Foghat was one of the biggest bands of the ‘70s. This is their biggest hits. They were known as a “boogie” band. They were a British blues based hard rock band that sounded very American. Their songs frequently turn up on Southern Rock compilations.

This song, released in 1975, was played quite heavily on FM rock stations in 1975-76 in its entirety. A live version also had heavy rotation in 1978. A shortened version was played quite frequently in the late 80s on pop FM. The song still gets airplay today.

Was fortunate enough to see Foghat in concert multiple times as a teenager in the 70s. Sooo many great bands and music. This was definitely a classic and blew up the FM radio stations playlist...had to turn it up. Had their albums on 8 track as well and blew it out on my car speakers back in the coaxial and triaxial days. Great memories.

Foghat are one of my favorite bands. I saw them on 11-14-1974 in concert in Chattanooga, Tn. This was 5 days after my 14th birthday. This was the birthday present I askef for and my 1st concert experience. This is probably their most popular song. I love this song but it is usually their only song you hear on the radio. The two albums before this one,Fool for the City, contain really good 70s rockin, funky tunes. Try Step Outside, Dreamer, and Chateau L'efit '59 Boogie. These are some good examples of early 70s British rock.

Glad you got the right version... the long version of this song is killer! The radio edit is still good, but this version definitely builds to a conclusion!

Dazed and Confused was a classic, this brings me back to high school

Great reaction! Everytime I hear this song I instantly think about the movie, Dazed & Confused.

Not about driving n a car, but it’s one of the best songs to drive to. This song goes way back and I heard it growing up, but it will always remind me of the movie dazed and confused. Baked at the dollar movies when that movie came out. Good times.

CLASSIC 70's PARTY SONG!! Most 70's rock music was very funky. Heavy blues influence.

They are an old blues based rock band from England. The man plays a Gibson SG, bottle neck slide all pumped thru 100 watt Marshall’s.

True, true this song is not about riding in a car, its a total metaphor for slow sex in the afternoon, BUT this song will forever be linked for me to being 16 years old in 1979 and riding the backroads of South Georgia with my boyfriend in his Trans Am with the t-tops out on a sunny summer day...wearing my halter top, cut off jeans and Farrah Fawcett hair, of course! This 70s music always sounded better blaring out of a Trans Am tape deck.

It was in the movie Dazed & Confused. Set in Texas. Last day of school in 1976. If you want to understand the 70s you should watch it. The movie where Matthew McConaughey coined his "alright, alright, alright" phrase.

You have heard this song at every State Fair you ever been to. It was always played on the rides.

You're right! This is one of the masterpieces of rock!! Foghat is it!!

That squealing you hear throughout the song is the late great Rod Price on Slide guitar. That solo at the end is ear piercing beautiful.

The next place you should go with Foghat is the song, It Hurts Me Too. Great jam. Bluesy as hell and a great boogie. Love your reactions.

"FOGHAT LIVE" one of the best live albums out there. Listen to "honey hush" off this album, nothing but a jam!!!

My favorite classic rock band! You need to check out more Foghat! Any of the songs everyone suggested would be great!

Everytime I hear this it takes me back to playing " guitar hero" on the PS3 with my young daughters many years ago...great song,great memories 😊

This has been a favorite song since I was 5 or 6 years old ~1980... good sound and feel can be recognized at any age, especially when it's that good

Used in at least one movie - Dazed and Confused (1993).

My very first live concert ever was Styx, Foghat, and Head East! Great getting to see all three at the same time.

When BJ said it feels like funk, about 10 seconds earlier I said to myself you can dance to this. Definitely has the funk feel to it.

This was Foghat's biggest hit, and that is Rod Price's slide guitar that is so prominent. My personal favorite Foghat songs are "My Babe" and "Third Time Lucky." Check them out!

Mani was listening to this summer of 74-75 at that time is played on the radio everyday and juke box everywhere you went . Rock and roll staple in the 70's.just like all the 70's music transcends time . Just as killer today as it was the first time I heard it.

Iconic 70's song that has been used in films.

My very first concert was Foghat and Black Oak Arkansas. Foghat led off when Black Oak came out we booed them off the stage! By the way did you hear a new little girl just got the Golden Buzzer on AGT Sunday night. Check out AGT 2022 Golden Buzzer From the Audience to the Stage Maddie wows the judges. Remember Angelina

love you guys . . . so glad you're enjoying all the great music I grew up with. And how back in the 60's-80's "our" music was Awsome, there were "hidden meanings in alot of songs to reference SEX DRUGS AND ROCK n ROLL. . . . it was like all had a secret message ! And the songs were great music and wholsome. No crazy vulgar BS . . even whem speaking about the "bad" elaments out there, it was done with respect and in fun. . .so glad you are enjoying my youth . . through the music. . .enjoy

Definitely used in the DAZED AND CONFUSED soundtrack (Matthew McConehey, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey 1993)

It was on the Dazed and Confused soundtrack, which had a young Matthew McConaughey and Ben Afleck in it.

This song is all about "making love".....they were huge fans of the great bluesman Muddy Waters.....sung by the late great Handsome Dave Preverette....this band was one of the great touring bands of the late '70s early '80s....their tour included Boston...ZZ Top....Nazareth and Foghat... imagine that lineup for a concert ...Ted Nugent was with them at the Texas Jam concerts....🎉....my other favorite is "Third Time Lucky" which was their last Top 40 hit

I'm exhausted just from listening ! Back in 1977-78 I went to Vo-tech school , they had a jukebox in the cafeteria and this was one of the most played songs , some days you would hear Slowride several times , which was fine with me because it was a great sounding one .

Great 70's classic. Foghat was huge in the 70's, probably been used in movies, commercials, etc....!

Yall have great musicality! Love to see you enjoy it for what it is.

The movie Dazed and Confused has this song. That movie is a soundtrack. And what a soundtrack!

Foghat has SO many great songs. Fool for the City, I Just Wanna Make Love to You, Boogie Motel, Drivin' Wheel, Third Time Lucky, Honey Hush, Maybelline, Stone Blue

This takes me back to my high school football days. Our bus rides home whether we when or lose this song was played religiously!

Even though this is not about driving, it is the quintessential driving song. Crank it up and your foot automatically pushes the pedal down further. Rock and Roll!

Have you ever seen "Dazed and Confused?" Every time I hear this song, I think of that movie. 😁

Man~ my generation had the best music! I haven’t heard Foghat in a minute and I’m going to pull out my collection!

Screaming slide guitar!!!! Lonesome Dave. Awesome

Junior high school days with this song, this tune appeared in the movie 👉 Dazed And Confused !! 😊

I saw the title, and I knew you guys would like this one! I agree with you that this has some heavy funk. Yes, this song has been used in movies and commercials.

The whole song starts slow(slow ride) the middle, little bit faster( feels good) then the ending ! Fast, done with abandon and high passion, no, it’s not about riding in a car lol

That long musical interlude at the end more or less took a page out of the "Free Bird" book, which was a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd that was released two years earlier. Free Bird is a classic you have to hear.

That bass guitar is where you're hearing the funk.

One of the first albums my older brother bought when we graduated from the tv/stereo/ Liquor cabinet combo to a real stereo with speakers. Haha. I listened to "slow ride" so many times my Mom had to buy my brother a new one. Yup! I scratched it. 😂 great memory! Thanks!

1976 bonfire kegger in Eastern Washington State. Foghat got you in the mood. It's on "Dazed and Confused" movie about the 1970s. Great movie!

That is the late great Rod Price on slide guitar one of the best Slide guitarist ever . If you let Foghat open up for you , You were in trouble . One of the best live bands I ever saw with all original members . Lonesome Dave on lead vocals RIP Lonesome Dave and Rod Price . One of the Best versions of Sweet home Chicago is Foghat 1997 live . Rod a little out of shape at that point but could still play that Slide guitar like nobody else . Foghat came from the Blues band Savoy Brown formed Foghat and added Rod Price

this song was part of the soundtrack of the movie ; Dazed and Confused

It WAS in the soundtrack of my youth!

I think it was used in the movie Dazed and Confused. That movie had a killer 70s stoner soundtrack. Yes, I saw Foghat live back in the day
