Frank Gutch Jr: Sometimes You Gotta Bang Some Heads…..

That’s right, sports fans.  Sometimes you just have to line up and bang, that’s all there is to it.  It makes me laugh because when I think of headbanging I see long-haired guitarists lining up, Status Quo-style, heads flopping in unison to the beat, and if headbanging is about nothing else it is about the beat.  I caught the bug in the late Sixties and early Seventies when hard rock began to become even harder rock and finally gave way to the throbbing wall of sound crunch of even harder rock.  I loved it.
