      April Wine's version is okay. You might want to check out the original version which was written by Lorence Hud from Sakskatoon, Saskatchewan. Really good! By the way, Lorence Hud was a very talented guy since he played every instrument on the LP/CD. Four awesome April Wine songs that you may not have heard before are: 1) Say Hello 2) Enough Is Enough 3) Love Has Remembered Me 4) This Could Be The Right One.

      April Wine were second to none in rock ballads. There were only three artists that got five airplays of one song on the first day of MTV. The Who, Phil Collins and April Wine (Just Between You and Me) which provided a wonderful sending off for Myles as some reactors played it upon his death.

    Thanks so much for reacting to April Wine!
    I'm Canadian and the first concert I went to was April Wine opening for Queen in 1975. April Wine sadly sold the publishing rights to all their music at the height of their popularity. April Wine broke up and eventually the money ran out and Miles being the main songwriter, had to reconstitute April Wine and they constantly toured and played in bars, community halls, and other small venues to try and pay the bills.
    April Wine was known for their impeccable live performances and the juggernaut of three lead guitar players.
    SUBSCRIBED, I needed this and your reaction today. Thanks again. 🎶✌️👉🇨🇦

    I promoted a concert in1975 and I hired April Wine as the main act. I'd promoted other bands and the most difficult to deal with were bands on the way up but not there. They often had members and managers that thought they knew the business but actually didn't. Myles and April Wine were total pros. So very very nice to deal with. They were a great band live or in the studio and they were very appreciative of the gig and were really good to me, only 19 at the time.
    Myles you will be missed but your incredible songs will live on for many, many years.

    You Get IT! What I've loved about April Wine for the past 40+ years is that they can grind the metal edge yet throw some blues and still croon some early classics. They were so able to cover all sides of rock and blues. I have all their albums pre-1990 and love them all. Such a talented band.

    🥰 April Wine & Triumph were my two HS go to groups & was a rare California fan that loved their outstanding music, voices and beats. Most had not heard of April Wine as the group wasn't as overplayed on the radio like Rush was in CA. They were my very 1st concert in 1983 - also saw Triumph at the US Festival in 83 too! What a rockin' year that was! I never realized that I was such a fan of Canadian bands, (Billy Squire and Aldo Nova were other Chunuk rockers I liked) there was no Google around to tell us that then. Thanks for the review! "I like to Rock" is another great April Wine song too! Left a comment on your Triumph review too. 😘

    Never thought I would see a reaction to April Wine. They were a huge part of my high school years. Grew up in Northern Vermont about an hour from the Canadian border and two hours from Montreal. Local radio was crap and I listened exclusively to CHOM-FM out of Montreal. They turned me on to April Wine, Rush, Led Zepplin, Boston, Foreigner, and Pink Floyd. So many memories for this 60 year old.

    Thank you for checking out April Wine! A great rock band with plenty of great songs. As a Canadian, I have *of course* seen them live, at a club right here in Calgary, Alberta, I believe in the late 90s / possibly early 2000s. I distinctly remember that when I was a pre-teen / early teen in the early to mid '80s, they also played a bar in my small home town of Lethbridge, Alberta (population around 50,000 to 55,000 at the time) several times. They spent their career as a hard-working touring band without much glamour. Seriously under-rated, IMO.

    For many of us east coasters growing up in the 70's, April Wine was our first taste of live pro-level rock and roll. Saw them several times over the tears at the old Sydney Forum and they kicked serious ass EVERY time.

    A.W. was my first big rock show,back in '81,with Harlequin opening up,as I recall...
    2nd row centre seats,and,my ass never touched that seat once, for the whole gig.
    Close enough to feel the heat from the flash pots.
    I couldn't even hear properly for 3 days.
    A perfect intro to live music for a kid.

    I heard recently that Myles never really thought of himself as a singer but as a song writer he just did it. Personally, I just melt when I hear his ballads. Such a sweet voice, who knows how to kick it when he decides to. Maybe listed to Like a Lover, Like a Song for contrast?

  • @elarsh24
    @elarsh24 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    It's funny how the big three 🇨🇦 rock bands that have been analyzed have front men with the ability to use high-pitched vocals. Coincidence or competing styles? They made it hard for tweens, teens, and even adults to follow along without cracking their own voices.
    I'm glad you got around to April Wine. They made a lot of songs you wanted to play in your car on dates.

    • @blackberrythorns
      @blackberrythorns 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      a lot of male canadian vocalists had that tone at that time for some reason. Bill Henderson of chilliwack and Kim Berly the drummer (who sometimes sang lead) from the stampeders to name but two more, there were many. they could all play and sing back then. that high singing tone was a real thing though.

    Being a hometown boy,April Wine were ALWAYS sure to hit us up,every tour.
    I must have seen them at LEAST 4 times,and,it was NEVER a disappointing gig,even when the album that they were touring FOR wasn't a particularly good record...they had a solid enough back catalogue to dig into.
    NEVER a bad show,even after
    Myles went and did his solo thing for a while.
    R.I.P. Myles,and,thanks for leaving behind so much to remember.

    @gregyaklin5980 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I seen this exact line-up back in the seventies. Needless to say it was awesome! With this group they had three lead guitarist, which means they would switch guitar solos, licks and tricks, to where as i felt like i was at a tennis match, trying to keep up with all the back and fourth solos. Made me pay attention and get more involved with the song and entire concert! 🙂

  • @debbieplato5107

    I truly enjoyed watching you, watch my favourite Canadian band. Back in the day, their concerts were fantastic and they played so loud, you could just feel Jerry Mercers drumming (never saw the band with original drummer Richie Henman) rumbling through your chest. Loved watching you enjoy this. ❤

    So happy that you decided to react to April Wine. They were one of my favorite bands growing up. Myles Goodwyn lived in our neighborhood (Montreal's West Island), the next street over in the early 70's. I remember seeing them play at my high school and at the local hockey arena. Great times. I think I still have their second album, "On Record" in vinyl somewhere in the basement. Some other good Canadian bands that I remember from that era are Mahogany Rush, Kim Mitchell, The Guess Who (Burton Cummings) and The Wackers. The latter was actually from California and moved to Montreal in 1972.
    Another band that you might want to react to is Bad Company or Free. They both featured Paul Rogers, my favorite blues/rock vocalist. I saw that The Charismatic Voice reacted to them last week.

      I can't say how many times I've seen "My first concert was April Wine" For me it was the Halifax Metro Centre around 1980 (not sure), opening act Red Ryder (Tom Cochrane) with their hit White Hot. I don't recall them doing Lunatic Fringe which came out in 1981.

  • @Drumdude74

    So glad you checked out April Wine, they're from my part of Canada, on the east coast, saw them live a few times! Myles Goodwin had a great voice, he could sing rockers but he could sing the ballads too. Check out all their 70's stuff, Stand Back is a good starter album, a mix of rockers and a couple great ballads as well. Cheers!

    I saw Myles with his trio not long before he passed... he still had it! You need to analyze April Wine's "I Wouldn't Want To Lose Your Love"... it shows off the best of his vocal prowess, range and sensitivity. As much as Myles could belt a rocker like "Roller", few in music history could navigate a rock ballad and draw a listener into the story like Mr Goodwyn could... RIP, my Maritime brother!

    I've watched soooo many of your videos and it's wonderful to see April Wine featured. I don't think they received the recognition they deserve. Sadly Myles (singer/guitar) recently passed. He was genuinely a really nice guy. I had the great privilege to chat guitars with him a few times.His voice was still pretty impressive even on his last recordings and was still playing live shows. He is greatly missed here in Halifax NS and Canada lost another of its musical legends.

    One of my favorite Rock bands from that era who I saw live back in the day. For whatever reason they didn't have quite the commercial success and following of Triumph and definitely not Rush and it baffles me to this day. I've seen Rush many times live and Triumph and April Wine was right up there as performers in their own way.
