Ty mentioned that the outro sounded familiar and while I was editing I can't believe that I didn't catch it myself. It is definitely reminiscent of "Day Tripper" by the Beatles. Happy New Year! 🎉
I was about to tell you guys that. The outro begins with the guitar riff for The Beatles' "Day Tripper" on one guitar, then continues with the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" on the 2nd guitar, then continues with the main riff for "I Like To Rock" on the third guitar. 😊
They had enough guitarists to pull it off. Saw them a number of times in Toronto they had an incredibly full powerful sound and the drummer seemed to hit the drums with two by fours.
I love when you guys react to music I heard in my teens and twenties. I’m nearly 60, but I feel like I’m back to those days again. And I’m glad you guys like that music. IMHO, music was SO much better back then.
In 2018, my youngest son, at the time he was 11, begged me to take him to the fair in Saskatoon so he could see April Wine headline the Saturday night main stage. Admission to the show was included in the fair pass, and he had me at the front of the line to the show two hours before they went on. We were front row, right in front of Brian Greenway. The band’s photographer has a picture overlooking the crowd of 1000’s with me and my son enjoying every minute. I’m glad he talked me into going.
Glad to see you guys are getting into some April Wine! Another song from their "Harder Faster" album I would recommend is "Say Hello". It's written in 6/8 time, which gives it a really grooving swing to it. Also, regarding Ryan's comment about 4 guitars being too many, they actually have 3 guitars plus the bass. Yes, the bass is also guitar, but the better way to look at this is how they fill out the soundscape. From my perspective and experience listening to a whole lot of guitar-oriented bands, April Wine is one of the most talented bands I've ever heard in terms of making each guitar creatively express their own unique voice.
I pretty much have a smile on my face every time I watch y'all! Thank you for that. Kicking in the New Year with y'all is a great start. We love your channel ❤
Did you notice at the end of the song the sampled Beatles Daytripper riff, then added The Stones Satisfaction riff, then I Like to Rock riff on top. An early example of sampling.
I’m so glad you guys did another review of April Wine . Awesome time nailed it. They were very successful and didn’t get the exposure that they should have.
Wait until Ty hears the southern bands like Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd with multiple guitars. 😉 The table hockey at the end always makes me smile. Happy new year all!
It’s nice to see Ty rejoin you. In my senior year of high school (so 1980’ish), the band I was in covered this song; absolutely loved it!! The guitar line at the end (that Ty thinks he’s heard before) is from The Beatles “Day Tripper”.
I've always thought April Wine was quite under rated. They have a fantastic catalog and would love to see you react to their song "If You See Kay". One of the best double entendre song titles of all time!
Happy New Year, guys! If you want to hear a different, easy going side of April Wine, then you should take a look at "Say Hello" and react to it. It's a hidden gem.
Yes they did a little tip of the hat to Day Tripper by the Beatles and also satisfaction by The Rolling Stones. These guys were my first concert when I was 10 years old. Ticket was $2.50 LOL
If I had $2.50 for every time I've seen somebody post AW was my first concert I'd be a millionaire. For me it was early 80s Halifax Metro Centre with Red Rider (Tom Cochrane) as the opener. Lunatic Fringe and White Hot were their big hits at the time and AW opened with their perennial curtain jerker Oowatanite.
This song Rocks Ryan! The ending was the Beatles Day Tripper, The Rolling Stones Got No Satisfaction in their own rendition. They were very creative and underrated Rock Stars!!! I agree they needed better Management to promote them... I am glad that you guys found them and give them great air play.
The best April Wine songs all got played at the fair on that ride that goes backwards at high speed and forced your girl to squish into you, and you could tip the teenager running it to play another song and keep the ride going.
Ryan, talking about the guitars and saying, "Enough is enough." Ryan, did you know that April Wine has a song called, "Enough is Enough"? It's also a good one. I had to laugh at the irony.
Happy New Year to everyone! Excellent video! May I suggest, for your next exploration of April Wine, the song "Before the Dawn" and its official music video. It is an outstanding song that shows their awesome talent.
The end where one guitar is playing Day Tripper by the Beatles, and the another is playing Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones while a third keeps the song riff going. That is awesome.
Have requested another Canadian gem for your reaction...COLIN JAMES,a gifted and respected blues rocker with over 20 albums & many awards.He toured with Stevie Ray Vaughan and is still going strong! Give him a try ... try his VOODOO THING 😊
@aimfuldrifter these kids are barely in their 20s maybe late 20. They've been raised on shit music, which is why they're not fond of bangers like ' I Like To Rock '. They have no life experience to draw from. It is what it is, kids.
Recorded at the former Le Studio in Morin-Height, about 45 minutes north of Montréal, Québec. Demolished ten years ago, sad. Salutations à tous les fans d’April Wine, de Montréal ✌🏻
I enjoy your reactions! Reminds me of how my kids loved my rock music & still do. We had dance party moments during the day. My son would come home from college on holidays & his fav thing to do was start a song & ask who's this? When you don't watch video I hope you go back to some of these songs on your own time & watch the video or live performance, really gives you insight. 70's music was pure talent without all the fancy editing gizmos
Love it when people react to April Wine but my only pet peeve is only thier radio songs get reacted to - they are so talented with a huge music legacy with amazing ballads, heavy hitters etc etc - one of my favorites was 'Silver Dollar 'being Canadian it took much longer to get recognized - dig deeper....
One of Neil Peart's books mentions going back decades later when the studio was trash. He found a drum kit and had it put back in good nick, turned out to be a very nice sounding kit
@@spooley I'm watching that video now. So grateful I saw them in Bloomington Mn on the 3rd of July 1981! It was crazy with fireworks whizzing by our heads. Moving Pictures tour.
Great band to see in the 70's when I was a teenage drummer still learning. 21st Century Schizoid Man, Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, Oowatanite, etc. Harder Faster is legend.
A band that Professor of Rock talked about today is Sugarloaf. A 2hit wonder if you want to call them that - Green eyed Lady and Dont Call Us. Two great songs that you need to hear and review!
Well, I'm really surprised that Ryan didn't like "I Like To Rock." (Maybe he doesn't like to rock? 🤔) I really thought all 3 of you guys would love it, considering the April Wine track record with y'all. I'm glad at least Nick liked it and Ty sort-of liked it, at least. My next April Wine recommendation for y'all would be the fiery "Oowatanite" from their great 4th album _Stand Back._ I think you guys would love that one. I also recommend the VERY hard-hitting "Givin' It, Takin' It" from their 1993 comeback album _Attitude,_ (which actually features Myles Goodwyn's son Aaron on the splashy front cover). You guys would ABSOLUTELY LOVE this song!! 🤘🏻🐻🤘🏻 I think you guys might also like the playful "If You See Kay," from their 10th album _Power Play_ in 1982. It's kind of cheesey, but you guys might like it. I would definitely recommend the first two songs I mentioned over this one, though. Keep discovering April Wine, gentlemen!! You're about to find something else that tastes good!! 🍾🍷🥂 P.S.: Happy New Year, all!!
I see you guys never did the "Rolling Stones" song "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and if you like a sax solo that goes off the charts in a long jam session, that's a vibe you will love to take in
Just a guess, but maybe the "journey to the stars...rock and roll guitars" line was meant to describe the transformational power playing rock music had on them. Even though this is a solid song, I still prefer the punchy, fun, propelling sound of "Roller". Maybe it's the personal nostalgia of that song--a little auld lang syne, so to speak, lol. And, btw, playing table-top hockey proved that they were good Canadian boys. 😆Well, keeping my fingers crossed for 2025, and wishing all the best to all of you in the New Year.
Y’all need to start finding live videos of your music requests. Try some of the Midnight Special show performances. Also, you should check out some Miley Cyrus… with Metallica,singing the Cranberries Zombie, singing with Billy Idol, her Plastic Hearts album and of course her Flowers video
You probably had to hear it back in the day,to appreciate it more.For me it was more for the music ,guitars in particular! Sure “journey to the stars” isn’t the best,but hey who doesn’t want to shoot for the stars!
As to why they didn't achieve greater success, it's the same story for many epic Canadian bands (and April Wine too... see what I did there, Ryan!). As the guys from Rush explained in documentaries and interviews, there simply was no native, Canadian music industry in the 1970s and even into the 1980s. While artists could attempt to get themselves signed by an outpost of the big, US labels, they often just had to move to the US to make it big.. For example, both Neil Young and Joni Mitchell found their greatest success after relocating to LA (with a stopover in Detroit). The Guess Who, Rush, and later Bryan Adams all stayed in Canada (as well as the UK for Adams, eventually), but each still had to break through in US markets to reach their respective potentials (at least in so far as record sales were concerned). As for Canadian musicians who never did reach their full, commercial potential - at least not internationally - notwithstanding their all having become legends in their "home and native land," the following immediately come to mind: - The 20th Century's greatest songwriter (at least in Bob Dylan's estimation), Gordon Lightfoot; - Canada's other hard rock power trio, Triumph; - Canada's rock & roll troubadour, Tom Cochrane (and his band, Red Rider); - The Tragically Hip (aka Canada's national bar band); and - Blue Rodeo, the only one of these three still putting out great songs and relentlessly touring, mostly in Canada but also in northern US college towns and border cities, as well as in the UK). I think you've heard at least one song from all of the above, so I will just recommend two more for reaction: Blue Rodeo, Hasn't Hit Me Yet Tragically Hip, Poets. You definitely wouldn't regret giving either a listen.
The outro definitely sounds like Day Tripper underneath but I don’t think I would have picked up on it without it being pointed out. Love the scenery outside the recording studio window. Gorgeous. Happy New Year!!! Thanks, guys, for all the music and fun you gave us in 2024. Looking forward to spending 2025 with you.

Ty mentioned that the outro sounded familiar and while I was editing I can't believe that I didn't catch it myself. It is definitely reminiscent of "Day Tripper" by the Beatles. Happy New Year! 🎉
You also hear “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones.

More like the 70s going threw the EARLY 80s period
Definitely Day Tripper. Happy New Year fellas.
The end of this song they are playing day tripper and satisfaction at the same time
Yup! You got it!!
While fusing in their own song too! Decent!
They had enough guitarists to pull it off. Saw them a number of times in Toronto they had an incredibly full powerful sound and the drummer seemed to hit the drums with two by fours.
Jerry Mercer was a badass drummer
@@plrt6794 The drummer could have used telephone poles, he has muscles that are bigger than most whole musicians lol.
Myles lived literally 3 mins from me. His passing was sad news for sure. Left behind tons of memories, and a real nice Mustang!

SAY HELLO!! April Wines best song IMHO
Glad to see you guys are getting into some April Wine! Another song from their "Harder Faster" album I would recommend is "Say Hello". It's written in 6/8 time, which gives it a really grooving swing to it.
Also, regarding Ryan's comment about 4 guitars being too many, they actually have 3 guitars plus the bass. Yes, the bass is also guitar, but the better way to look at this is how they fill out the soundscape. From my perspective and experience listening to a whole lot of guitar-oriented bands, April Wine is one of the most talented bands I've ever heard in terms of making each guitar creatively express their own unique voice.
Pretty sure the reacted to that one already.
My favorite song by them off this album from 1979 is Say Hello. The guitar riff is one of a kind and 10 people I know agree about that guitar riff
@@davidedwards3838 They haven't reacted to Say Hello
@jethro1963 the rest they have
Good to see TY. Thanks for the April Wine. Saw them in 1981. They put on a great show.
This is one of the ROCKIEST SONGES EVER FROM THE 70s 1979 released i waz 19
I did as well. Saw them in the Seattle Center Coliseum in 1980 and 1981. They did indeed put on a great show!!
Thank you for another year of great music and company, Best wishes for the New Year everyone🎉
When people ask me what i like to do , i yell ''I LIKE TO ROCK''!
Happy New Year everyone!! Got to love this band! Banger after Banger!!!🤘🔥

WOOHOO!!!! Great new year's gift. Thanks guys!!!
And thanks for all the videos. Wishing the best in 2025!!!!
Finally some more April Wine! 😄 Happy New Year!!
Grew up with this band on the radio, they were huge in Canada. My favourite is Say Hello.
Great song! Thanks for the reaction ❤Happy New Year !
I’m so glad you guys did another review of April Wine . Awesome time nailed it. They were very successful and didn’t get the exposure that they should have.
Love to see Ty here!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Me too!! Where did you see them?
@ - Long Beach Arena, in 1978.
@ OKC ‘77, ‘78, ‘80!
Happy New Year, guys. Just gonna throw a few more Canadian bands your way: Trooper, The Trews, Big Sugar, Colin James, Harlequin, and Streetheart.
BIG WRECK

We have a saying in canada, this song rocks the ground to its core 🎸🎵🇨🇦
"Journey to the stars, Rock and Roll guitars'" was a Star Wars reference. Harder, Faster was released only 2 years after SW: A New Hope.
Happy New Year to everyone! Excellent video! May I suggest, for your next exploration of April Wine, the song "Before the Dawn" and its official music video. It is an outstanding song that shows their awesome talent.
In his book, Myles Goodwyn stated “rock” doesn’t only mean rock 😂
Of course. Rest in Peace
The end where one guitar is playing Day Tripper by the Beatles, and the another is playing Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones while a third keeps the song riff going. That is awesome.
If wanna rock.....better damn well hear ROLLER!!!...another great of theirs

Canadian here. I saw Colin James with B.B. King in early 90s. Love Colin James. Try Just Came Back .🇨🇦
There Drummer Jerry Mercer is one of the best all time and he still plays into his mid 80's
How did you guys miss the Beatles and Rolling Stones riffs at the end? lol
They probalby never heard eather of those tunes. lol Remember these are kids.

"Ladies Man" by them, at the same studio, is great.
THANKS TO APRIL WINE AGAIN ....SOURHERN ROCK❤
Great cool song and band
Yeah, we’ve only been rockin to this for about 40+ years. 😆
Great rocker! 🇨🇦 That last part was a mash up of Day Tripper by the Beatles and Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones.
happy new year caliente Nick!

I totally agree and another favorite of mine is Highway Hard Run. dig deeper for sure
Check out the April wine song Before The Dawn.
We also need more Heart!!
Gotta check out Silver Dollar next. Great western sounding rock song by April Wine.
...some like it HOT 🔥. Great first jam to hear in 2025👍
Recorded at the Lestudio in Canada. along with Rush
Very cool.

High school dance rock.
You guys should listen to “Before the Dawn” this song has Brian Greenway as lead vocalist.
At the end they’re playing a Rolling Stones and a Beatles riff mixed.
Sign of the Gypsy Queen is probably their “staple song”
They reacted to it already
@ i know - they said “I like to rock” is probably their staple song I think Gypsy Queen is
What factors constitute “staple song”?
The biggest hit was just between you and me! Sign of the Gypsy queen and all over town were all over the radio when nature of the beast came out
They reacted to those songs already.
Great band to see in the 70's when I was a teenage drummer still learning. 21st Century Schizoid Man, Sign Of The Gypsy Queen, Oowatanite, etc. Harder Faster is legend.
That guitar riff is from the Beatles- Day Tripper.
Mixed with “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” by Rolling Stones
roller was their number 1 hit
A band that Professor of Rock talked about today is Sugarloaf. A 2hit wonder if you want to call them that - Green eyed Lady and Dont Call Us. Two great songs that you need to hear and review!
SKOL ! April Wine is great. Le Studio was considered RUSH's Abby Road, a lot of great music was recorded there.
Nice old school Vikings uni!😎💜✌
You guys head-boppin in unison while listenin is pretty cool.
Canada 🇨🇦 here
We used to cruise Bremerton, Seattle in high school and this was def one of our party albums in 79-80.
Another really popular song of theirs is Caught In The Crossfire from their Nature of the Beast album. Check it out.
"Get Ready for Love" - April Wine, from around this same era.
Gawd that so good!

The Guess Who, Rush, and later Bryan Adams all stayed in Canada (as well as the UK for Adams, eventually), but each still had to break through in US markets to reach their respective potentials (at least in so far as record sales were concerned).
As for Canadian musicians who never did reach their full, commercial potential - at least not internationally - notwithstanding their all having become legends in their "home and native land," the following immediately come to mind:
- The 20th Century's greatest songwriter (at least in Bob Dylan's estimation), Gordon Lightfoot;
- Canada's other hard rock power trio, Triumph;
- Canada's rock & roll troubadour, Tom Cochrane (and his band, Red Rider);
- The Tragically Hip (aka Canada's national bar band); and
- Blue Rodeo, the only one of these three still putting out great songs and relentlessly touring, mostly in Canada but also in northern US college towns and border cities, as well as in the UK).
I think you've heard at least one song from all of the above, so I will just recommend two more for reaction:
Blue Rodeo, Hasn't Hit Me Yet
Tragically Hip, Poets.
You definitely wouldn't regret giving either a listen.
April Wine has a song titled Enough is Enough!
The outro definitely sounds like Day Tripper underneath but I don’t think I would have picked up on it without it being pointed out. Love the scenery outside the recording studio window. Gorgeous.

Journey to the stars line is refrencing earlier 70s sound. But also fellow canadian musicians, think triumph.
DID THE 70s Rock THIER ASSES OFF OR WHAT LOL
The Loop T-shirt was for Rock Radio WLUP FM 98 in Chicago. Looked better on station "mascot" Lorelai .
I get what Ryan was saying. And it is no Roller.
I;m Canadian, and love April Wine. But at 6:24, that is no satisfaction by the Stones. Don't know if credit was ever given. Daytripper as well.
ANYTHING from.... MANESKIN (4 person band 25 year olds from ITALY.... AMAZING
