Yeah Blue Rodeo is a great band and a great bunch of guys who are great musicians. My brother came home with 2112 and I loved it and my brother told me to leave it alone and I didn’t listen and I got a beating for that haha. I had to shovel a lot of driveways to make money to buy another album 2112 because I played it a thousand times and I wore out the album cover haha.
Ive seen Rush in concert many times, first time at Maple Leaf Gardens.
Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Big Wreck, Big Sugar, Triumph, The Band, April Wine, Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, The Guess Who, Sarah McLauchlan, Shania Twain, Bare Naked Ladies,
BTOed the singer you were talking about is the bass player Fred Turner.
Tragically Hip are a great band, I think it’s a band that you need to listen to to get a better understanding of their music. Max Webster, kim Mitchell, Saga, Streetheart, Chilliwack, Doug and the Slugs, Goddo,
There’s a whole lot more great Canadian bands but that’s some off the top of me head.
Forgot my favorite Mahogany Rush!
Omg YES - I haven’t listened to them in YEARS - Frank Marino!!
I was waiting for Red Rider. Im sure most people who know Rush know they're Canadian
Oh good call on Red Rider - of all the comments we got on this video your the first to bring them up!! I will add them to the channel Canadian bands playlist 😁 - thanks for sharing and watching- new video coming up soon !!
Joe Lynn turner was not in bto, the turner was c.f. turner, bass player/singer.
@@kennethkrause6366 lol - so true - you are not the only one to point that out - Larry has been in tears since he said it 😉
@@goldenimagemusic when you had burton cummings on there he mistakenly said that was randy bachman on stage with burton but no bachman was in bto at the time of that video . after the guess who broke up .
Also the Jeff Healy Band especially for someone who likes Stevie Ray Vaughan he was a fan of Jeff’s and they did a great version of Little Sister together
who doesn't know those bands are Canadian
Idiots like me - for some reason I had no idea that Steppenwolf was Canadian until we started digging- obviously Rush - figured we would highlight that - Larry introduced me to Blue Rodeo who I didn’t even know much less know they were Canadian 🤔 - thanks for watching- maybe we do bands that you didn’t know were from The Island of Dr. Moreau 😳😎
You guys forgot to bring on the Triumph - great video in spite of a couple minor mistakes 😮😊
I suck!!!! Triumph is one of my favorite bands. How I didn't mention them is not nice! I will fit them on as a special mention next time! Never Surrender!
@@larryketzes5582 after all this Lar - I think it’s only right to make a follow-up video - this time we will take it up a notch and “try” not to forget the best - stay tuned!!!
Yes you did miss someone... TRIUMPH
We sure did and we have been giving a shellacking for it 😳 - we are going to make a similar video but next time we will be sure to dig in deeper!! Thanks for watching and keeping us honest 😉😎
@@goldenimagemusic, I'm as much a music junkie as you guys and from at least the same generation, I'll be 70 in a month...Loverboy's bassist Ken Sinnaeve bought one of my basses about 30 years ago.....BTW, although billed under his name, you also forgot Bryan Adams
@@lloydmetevier5052 thanks for watching - we are never too old to Rock and Roll 🤘- sounds like you are a bass player- I hack at mine but love the instrument- good point out on Bryan Adam’s - I truly did not know he was a Canadian! We are thinking about doing a show that focuses on bass guitar songs - stay tuned for that and keep watching!! 😊🎧❤️
Wrong on the Guess Who also.
The clip you showed was well after Randy Bachman left the group.
We saw Dominic Troiano and Bill Wallace in the clip
Good point out there - there is actually a backstory here TH-cam completely blocked the first video because of the original clip we showed so I had to “mash it up” - the audio commentary may not match up (unless you’re observant like you were 😊) - thanks for keeping us honest and being patient as we learn to navigate the tricky copyright landscape of this platform- stay tuned we have some fun stuff coming !!!
Good pickup. You also might remember Dominic from his days as lead guitarist in The James Gang
This was a very disapointing video.Too much time spent on Rush and Blue Rodeo, They should have dived a bit deeper. Where was Tom cochrane and Red Rider, Arcade Fire, Bare Naked Ladies, to name a few.A few errors, which are pointed out below.
Hi - thank you for the honesty- the idea was obviously to highlight some of our favorite Canadian bands and then I truly wanted to test Larry’s knowledge by revealing videos he needed to guess the band - so we will get better (another words we are not quitting our day jobs) - would it have worked better if we ran through a number of bands first and then save our favorites to last? In future videos we plan on doing the “what are we listening to this week”segment to the very end and get right into the meat of the subject- feedback like yours matters because in addition to having fun we also want you all to enjoy what we are doing as well - don’t loose faith too quickly- we have some fun stuff on the way and we will be certain to watch the copyrights and get our damn facts straight 😮 - btw bare naked ladies is a decent band and we should have covered them - please stay tuned!!
Blue Rodeo is meh, BNLs yuk.
Wrong answer on BTO. He was actually CF Turner.
Oh good catch Larry said Joe Lyn Turner didn’t he? Joe Lyn Turner was truly the lead singer for Rainbow but NOT BTO - thank you for keeping us on track AND for watching us- stay tuned for more fun content - of course we will watch our copy closer - oh wait… Larry has all this stuff in his head 😂.
Finger Eleven
Will check ‘em out - we may need to have a follow up to this one with a bit deeper dive!! Thanks for sharing 😊
I’m a huge Rush fan…another Canadian band I’ve always loved is Honeymoon Suite😊 Their album The Big Prize was excellent.
Never heard of them - I will add that album to my playlist and check it out - thanks for watching and sharing❤😁
April Wine had a lot of hits in Canada and most were ballads.
I remember the first April Wine song that a friend of mine played for me during lunch hour in high school- “If You See Kay” - I thought it was clever and funny - was the song good? No it was weak but I started listening to more of they’re stuff and a it was OK - not a massive fan but your right - the ballads put them on the map - thanks for your comment - stay tuned more fun stuff coming!! Todd-
So I decided to watch the video for If U See Kay - LOVE the diving board scenes 😉 - still don’t like the song 😳
They were the best. Saw them live four times, including in the Pacific Coliseum for the Harder Faster tour. Yes, I'm old.
@@asmith8947 I'm old too. My first concert was a Trooper/Prism double bill at the PNE Garden in '77.
@@asmith8947 lol - Larry and I are not spring chickens either- was there an opening act or did they headline?
My top 10 - Rush, April Wine, Triumph, The Guess Who, Blue Rodeo, Max Webster, Honeymoon Suite, Loverboy, Tragically Hip, Red Rider.
Great list moonwoman
We could definitely spend the day playing some records 😁😉
