  • It's 9pm on a Sunday night at the time of writing this, but this song still gives me a fun vibe. I don't know much about Loverboy, and only became aware of this song through references in various media (mainly GTA: Vice City). It's actually quite a demanding song on guitar, surprisingly quite a test on your rhythm playing, but very fun too. Hope you enjoy, and had nice weekend! :)
    Check out my other Vice City covers here - • Vice City Covers
    I use a Charvel DK24 (it's purple) into a Boss Me50 into a Palmer Pdi-09 into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X.
    F.A.Q.
    My headphones are purposely like that so the cable stays out the way.

    A song forever linked with Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley, in my mind at least. Miss em both. Ace job, mate!

    One of the songs I kind of liked when I was thirteen, but now love because it's an example of a time bubble and true pop rock masterpieces. Well done. Your guitar/pickups really like to distort/rock, too. It's an animal.

    Loverboy was one of those I wasn't big on at the time but learned to love them later on. You bring out all of the intricacies of these "simple 80s" songs 👍💪🍻

    Paul Dean is a beast of a player. Him and Keith Scott of Loverboy. Might as well thrown in Pete Lesperance of Harem Scarem as well. Can’t forget Phil X either. Canada has some great guitar slingers.

    Great performance of an awesome track, always brings happy feelings. Loverboy had plenty of great tracks though mostly more firmly in the pop-rock genre than I prefer. But Turn Me Loose has some great crunchy guitar parts and Break It To Me Gently is a hidden gem.

    So many people get this song wrong, but this rendition is very close - it certainly captured the spirit of the song! Nice work and well played, I've watched it a few times and cannot help but bop along to your playing. It almost makes me want to dig out the guitars and try to play along (a medical condition makes playing guitar very difficult and painful for me now 😭)

    Iconic. This is the song Chris Farley and guest host Patrick Swayze danced auditioning for the male burlesque troupe Chippendales on SNL in 1990's :-) Perhaps one of the best SNL pieces ever produced! LOL! Every time I heard this song, that SNL piece popped into my mind! Of course, you nailed it as always! Here's what I'm talking about : th-cam.com/video/stqG2ihMvP0/w-d-xo.html

      May be you were joking in your comment about them not having any other hit songs, but they did have lots of other hits, like "Turn Me Loose" "The Kid is Hot Tonight" "Hot Girls in Love" "Lovin' Every Minute of it" "When it's Over" "Turn me loose".

      Most of the time yes. I will occasionally supplement the set up with trichorus pedals and a couple of effects in my recording software when I’m covering the likes of Steve Lukather, Michael Landau or Dann Huff, but I will mention that in the description.

      @@andrewcrossman2165 I think the new models are more versatile and better value for money. I have made the most out of mine, and paired with the Palmer PDI-09, I found a sound I really like and one that is useful for these videos. I gigged with that set up too and it was fine but I could've used more flexibility,
      I don't use a Rockman for anything. I have had some of the units in the past but they are very limited in their use, in my opinion, even for the Def Leppard stuff.
