- Raspy shouting vocals
- To preserve his voice for the stage, he does not talk in the hours immediately before and immediately after concerts.
- A smooth-voiced vocalist from Detroit, Seger is also an accomplished songwriter. He is responsible for many hit rock songs including: "Night Moves", "Against the Wind", "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "Shakedown". He also co-wrote "Heartache Tonight" which was a #1 hit single for Eagles. Bob did not actually write "Old Time Rock and Roll". The writing credits for it go to George Jackson and Tom Jones III. Bob did change several of the lyrics but decided against taking songwriting credit. Which later, he said he wish he had added his name so he could have gotten the royalties for the publishing rights.
- Has worked with his manager, Punch Andrews, for over 40 years.
- His song, "Old Time Rock and Roll", was used to great effect in a classic scene in the film Risky Business (1983).
- Resumed recording and touring in 2006, after taking an 11-year hiatus to raise his children.
- I was a poor kid. It was a disappointment to grow up and realize there really weren't families like on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952). That in middle-class families, the guy went off to the bar and got drunk and smashed up the car just like in poor families.
- I think rock will last; it's proved its legs. But how the performers will be remembered, that's another thing.
- I'm just trying to keep things simple, and just be a little more offhand and not get so deep into things. Enjoy what you got right now, because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
