RIP Myles Goodwyn, lead singer. What a voice! Classic rock? More like timeless. Their songs give the vibe of youthful exuberance no matter what era you grew up in. Thanks for the music you left us. Gonna crank it up all day today in your memory Myles.
Journey to the stars, rock n roll guitars, I think they did alright considering they lived in the shadow of Rush their whole career 🙂🙂Rock em out up there Myles, I think I hear you now.
@@Shan-5544 Actually I believe it was only 2 guitarists in the band at any one time, Brian Greenway, and Myles Goodwyn, I can't find anything that states Brian is the lead guitarist, I kinda think Myles was the lead guitarist, and Brian the Rhythm Guitarist? but not for sure. but if you watch this video again, it's showing 3 guitarists plus the bass player, not sure of the other ones name? I just did some more research and I think the 3rd guitarist in this video was a guy named Gary Moffet.
Dude; this is DEFINITELY THE EPITOME OF ROCK & ROLL!!!!!! I SALUTE MY CANADIAN BROTHERS APRIL WINE!!!!! BC THEY KEEP IT REAL & DON'T FUCK AROUND!!!!! Another song from April Wine that I highly recommend; CRASH & BURN (from 1981's "The Nature Of The Beast"). That song's THE BIRTH OF THRASH METAL!!!!!
I just saw April Wine tonight,9/29/24 in Pittsburgh. Brian is the only one left and tonight was his 73rd bday and we sang Happy Birthday to him....God bless him...and they still ROCKED THE MFing HOUSE!!!
Age aint nothing but a number, it's just most of us who get past "that age", know what good music is, without computerized effects, auto tune, and backing tracks. Just straight on talent and hard work produces the music we wanna hear.
Doing burn outs in the high school parking lot. Digging holes with that 396 big block and positrac rear end. 1969 Chevy Impala Custom Coupe 2 door was my very first car and I bought it for $300. Drove that bad boy home from the DMV the day of my 16th birthday listening to this band. Minimum wage was $2.85 at that time, so that car represented a lot of cleared tables and dishes washed at my first job. I started at age 14 and my mom made me save half of every paycheck in our parish credit union. Sure wish I still had that beauty!
I'm here because... Myles Goodwin! R.I.P. beautiful soul!! 🙏🕊Thanks for all of the memories, and kickass music in high school (1977-1980). Saw you with Robin Trower, and Blue Oyster Cult. Back when tickets to a show like that, was five bucks!! 🤩 I would've paid... hundreds!! 🤜🤛 😘
You didn't happen to be in Southern California were you? Saw that show too! So many of them played Anaheim stadium, Anaheim Convention Center.. Long Beach, etc. Such great days!
September 2024 I'm 57yrs Grew up in Northwest Wyoming. I remember riding around with my friends listening to April Wine. And maybe drinking some TJ Swans Wine......Don't tell my parents.....lol.....
Listening in England, an expat for 30 years educating my son on good music. He also shares his heavy metal and now rock together. Took him to an Alice Cooper concert last year….loved it! Also Kiss,Iron Maiden at Download festival. Going to miss Metallic this year due to a family wedding in the US 🤘Music was much better growing up as I’m approaching 60 😂
RIP Myles!Any Canadian kid growing up to listen to April Wine is part of the soundtrack of our lives. I like to Rock and Roller are 2 Rock Anthems from mind of Myles Goodwin. RIP Myles!!
Even as my memory begins to fade, there is nothing like music to take me to a moment long forgotten and allow me to relive it with such clarity I even smell it.
17 year old April Wine enjoyer here who likes to rock. Can't be arsed with the new wave of music, all sounds the same and isn't original. I sure missed out being able to live in the '70's & '80s, so jealous of you all!
Absolutely agree, I could never understand why they didn’t get the love they deserved here in America. I sure loved em. Ran out and bought the tape as son as it came out.❤
For those who grew in the 70's like me near Woodstock New Brunswick Canada, these are the guys who played most every High School Prom that had a live band. I miss those days when there was a sense of normality on this planet.
The people that are the age now, that we were then, live in the world's normal. Our parents didn't feel like the world was normal in the 70's and 80's. Food for thought...
@@KittyGrizGriz hopefully enough of us will rise to right that particular boat. I definitely hear you. My parents lived through the great depression, WWII, and everything that came after. My grandparents, two world wars, the Spanish influenza... etc. My main point is that any era in our history has been fraught with major obstacles. Crazy is in full view as a result of technology. It was always there. Watershed after watershed down through the ages. I remember when Zeplin and Osborn were thought to be the great downfall of our society. Before that it was Elvis. Mankind has always believed its generation the finest. They were never right. Rose colored glasses... If people read about what these kids on bandstand went through, the way they were treated at school etc., they'd zip it
No autotune, no lip syncing, no dj, no posing, wearing the large hair, just straight up rocking. These guys put on a show. Old school.. the Best school !
Got lucky. Seen them twice, once opening from Nazareth, then later opening for Rush. They were absolutely amazing. This is my favorite AW jam! So many guitars and changeups. How can you go wrong?
Canadian rock band formed in 1969 and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There are a lot of problems with that sentence if your aim is to be in a famous rock band.
back in the day you actually had to work an instrument and cooperate with your band members to produce the good stuff and then bring it to your fans LIVE💯❤
So true, About Time !!! April Wine rules !!! Check out , " Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
Got into April wine at 17. In 2017. I'm 23 now ..I still love these guys. I love old school music and walking into an old record shop , I discovered these guys . What a kickass generation you guys had ! I missed out !
Good Call Dude! Try Spotify or others and listen to the recommended 'genre' songs..It'll lead you in the same direction!, Don't miss out on 70's Blues Rock either...Foghat/Savoy Brown,Aerosmith,Clapton,Mountain, Glad to have you aboard the OG Rock train !!
Yea, it was a "Blast" , fun as heck and I'm here in 2023 still list/ rockin to them, 57 yrs. And I'll never stop jamming April wine on my Blaupunkt car stereo system, it's a way of life, yea.-😊
Somebody out there will hear it. Once played on the radio the signal will travel into outer space forever. They might not be human but iam sure they like to rock
Me and my buddy Ernie used to build snow forts in his back yard. Bring in an extension cord, a portable LP player and sit in the fort smoking his parents cigarettes and listening to Harder Faster. I was 10, now 54... absolutely love April Wine....always will. Canada Proud. The Great White North.
Me and my buddy did the same thing. We called it "camping out " but it was an excuse so we could smoke and sneak around the neighborhood. Except, we built our fort out of bedsheets. There wasn't much snow in Houston, Texas, haha.
Saw April Wine open for Journey, Atlanta Rythmn Section and The Rolling Stones Sept. 78' Rich Stadium, Buffalo, NY, April Wine took full advantage! Lots of Canadians in the crowd, been a fan ever since!
Yes you're right, they had the formula down, but the A&R guy's didn't know how to market them. Such a loss, because I think they had a lot more to say. You can look at how the hairbands of the 80s copied their sound and made a truck full of money off it.
Best rock concert I’ve been to was April Wine. Criminal they are not in the a Rock and a Roll Hall of Fame. I could name over 30 April Wine hits that still get AirPlay. Just a great rock band. Great Canadians!
As an American, I didn’t know they were Canadian. All I know is , they kicked ass and I always found myself cranking up the stereo in my T\A and rolling down the road. Thanks for being a part of my rock and roll library. I’m thankful to have grown up in the 70s and 80s with such iconic bands.
Love April Wine! Love the Tribute to the Beatles with the Day Tripper riffs with the Rolling Stones Satisfaction Riffs! Wish April Wine got More Fame. They are EPIC!
Was just thinking about that same thing again. Was listening to the Damn Yankees and thought what a cool collaboration it would be with Boston and them if that makes any sense?
I LOVE THIS SONG! I remember listening to it slinging stock at Kroger 869 in 1977! Mark Moulder, Eddie Cripps , Ron Hunter,you were there too! GOOD TIMES!❤
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there was so freaking many killer CANADIAN ROCK BANDS!! I grew up listening to all of them and had no clue most were from Canada! Wow!😱🤯 mind blown….. 🥳
@@brimet8688 Exactly. I never left the 70s and 80s. I hear this stuff and I'm right back there in middle junior high and high school. All anybody ever wanted to do was jam out. I still can't get enough of it. Boomers rock!
I'll be 50 in less then 48 hrs, Wait What!?!..DAM Lol... This song was released in 1980 I was 10 and had the biggest crush on my 16 yr old babysitter, as soon as my parents left, cars started pulling up, and within 15 minutes of them leaving songs like this were playing on stereo, coolers with ice and beer were in the back porch and I was having the time of my life hanging out with HS kids and taking those instant Poloroid camera pics with some of the hottest girls I'd ever seen..LOL..And THIS song will always bring me back there.. Pam where ever you are THANK YOU!!!!
One of the best quintets ever. Man I loved these guys! And - The Loop T-shirt is everything when FM took off the 50,000 watt blowtorch could be heard for 100’s of miles.
Saw these guys open for Styx at the Philly Spectrum in 1979. What an in credible performance. That was the first time I'd ever seen three guys step up and play lead guitars. (Hadn't seen Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet yet). Great show all the way around.
Saw AC/DC right after Bon Scott died around I think 79 or something...his replacement "Brian" cool voice too but nothing like Bon....anyway they came back with Back in Black a solid album .... Front role center Detroit Cobo Hall 40,000 Watts of power smoked the greatest weed that night.....and one of the greatest performances that I had the pleasure of witnessing, I will never forget!!!! ( those were great days )
@@ronaldtownsend6296 so so jelly!!! Had tickets in ‘2006 to see them for 1st time. A major ice storm shut down whole state; we couldn’t get to venue. Was so disappointed, the show went on with half the venue full. Tickets were refunded; Malcolm and Bon were my favorite members. Gotta have that rhythm; the back beat rhythm. May they both R.I.P.
The definition of rock and roll is April wine. This is what it's all about these guys were just jamming out and having lots of fun doing it and they were so goddamn good.
Yeah, Ricky made a mistake with the April Wine, “I Like To Rock””, but he made up for it by asking Alex to play that “Diane Sawyer” song. That must be off their “Motion Pictures” album. (purposeful mistake) Alex Lifeson is a great sport. All the guys in Rush have a great sense of humor (RIP Professor). Alex did play a little bit of that “Diane Sawyer” song of their’s though. That was nice of Ricky to give Alex a buck thirty six for cab fare, even if Lifeson had to pick it up off the ground. He did call Alex a drunk male prostitute, but Alex called him a kidnapper, so that’s only fair. There is a big difference between borrowing someone and kidnapping them. I’m not sure what it is, but Ricky told me there was. It isn’t Ricky’s fault that Alex is one of those big rockstar, living in his little dreamworld, playing his big fucking guitar. He should be used to this stuff, he is in a rock band you know? Just like Ricky pointed out before flipping Alex the finger, “he started it!”. Alex did start it all when he said, “I’m not a ticket agency!.” What kind of answer is that? Ricky even gave him the option of doing it the easy way or the hard way. It’s not Ricky’s fault that Alex chose the hard way. Ricky was ready with the duct tape though, because Ricky had heard that Lifeson was one of those rock stars that aren’t very approachable. I love Rush. They not only make some of the best music ever, but they all were down to earth people, with no big egos. That’s why they were able to stay together for so many decades as friends, not just band mates. How many rock groups can say that? Lifeson really helped make this skit funny and played some of that “Diane Sawyer” song. I really like that song. I’ve seen them play that in concerts many times, but I have never actually seen Diane Sawyer at any of the concerts?
I honestly had to come find the song because of Ricky saying that. This episode is maybe one of the funniest of all the seasons. Buying weed from the cops, hitting the column while backing out, giving a shit about the damage to his car missing a door ☠️☠️☠️
My dad use to listen to alot of Wine back in the day and I still have one of his records along with Rush, Trapeze, Blackfoot, Rainbow and many others..... Every once in awhile he sings, "journey to the stars...." you get it. The more I listen, the more I appreciate Wine. Killer tunes and in tune guitars...
I recently reconnected with some of April Wines' hits and 'God' these guys are so great and their contributions to Rock-n-Roll!!!! I hope the 'youth' of today understands, this is the true meaning of 'Rock'!! The song "I Like to Rock" is one of my favorites of 'all time'! RIP Myles!! You were a true Rock-n-Roll ambassador!
Blasted this in my 72 Duster that was just big enough for my surfboard to fit passenger dash to drivers side rear with my girl sitting in the passenger side back seat. She accommodated my board... good girl.

I just covered Myles,
But, I'm a solo guy.
I didn't know he passed....
Good song, bring back memories from Montreal days
dude had it goin on for sure... long live his music...RIP
Prayers for his family, friends, band and fans. One of my favorite bands.
I've never seen a band more underrated than April Wine.
RIP Myles Goodwyn.
These guys rock just as hard as Van Halen ❤❤❤
Well that was a fucked up way to find out Myles passed away. Damn.
One of the best rock bands ever!
@@markboller4313agreed!! So talented and rock their butts off!!!
Absolute Truth. April Wine should have been Huge. They were sooo much better than lots of bands who made it big.
RIP Myles Goodwyn. Excellent singer and killer solo here. One of many underrated bands
Canada never forgot, awesome tributes on Canadian news.
Journey to the stars, rock n roll guitars, I think they did alright considering they lived in the shadow of Rush their whole career 🙂🙂Rock em out up there Myles, I think I hear you now.
One of many underrated, and quite honestly the best Canadian band in my opinion. Even over Rush.
Didn’t april wine have like 3 or 4 lead guitarist’s in the band.
If so, it sure shows, they are incredibly off the chain. Wow !!!!❤

63 years old...we were so lucky. We had the best music, the best cars, and the best music ever. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Dam Straight
I am 50 years old. I can remember 1979. I was too young back then to know how awesome the 70s were. Everything had good style back then.
Im w/ya brother!
Thanks for the sloppy 2nds
I’m 58 I got a good smell of it
For all you youngsters out there...this is rock n roll !! 👊💥
I'm a youngster! At least I was in the 70's. OK I guess now I am just immature. But I still "Like to Rock"
I look at it this way, better late than never
Dude; this is DEFINITELY THE EPITOME OF ROCK & ROLL!!!!!! I SALUTE MY CANADIAN BROTHERS APRIL WINE!!!!! BC THEY KEEP IT REAL & DON'T FUCK AROUND!!!!!

I just saw April Wine tonight,9/29/24 in Pittsburgh. Brian is the only one left and tonight was his 73rd bday and we sang Happy Birthday to him....God bless him...and they still ROCKED THE MFing HOUSE!!!
How'd they sound?
Hey you young whippersnapper, I'm 66 and rock this every day, and real loud so my neighbors can enjoy it as well. Rock on Brother!
I play it almost every day on my music catalogue. I'm 58. Still a pup!
Bands as good as April Wine are pretty hard to come by anymore.
I'm right with you old-timer, 70 and STILL ROCKIN!!❤
Age aint nothing but a number, it's just most of us who get past "that age", know what good music is, without computerized effects, auto tune, and backing tracks. Just straight on talent and hard work produces the music we wanna hear.
My neighbors still love it loud !
High School 1980, feathered hair chicks and tight 501 jeans, hot rods in the parking lot and jams like this.... ahhh shit those were awesome days 🤘🏼
I was only 6 in 80 not far behind u though im a hair band guy 👍
Doing burn outs in the high school parking lot. Digging holes with that 396 big block and positrac rear end. 1969 Chevy Impala Custom Coupe 2 door was my very first car and I bought it for $300. Drove that bad boy home from the DMV the day of my 16th birthday listening to this band. Minimum wage was $2.85 at that time, so that car represented a lot of cleared tables and dishes washed at my first job. I started at age 14 and my mom made me save half of every paycheck in our parish credit union. Sure wish I still had that beauty!
81 for me brother.... We grew up at the best time... Now the US is turning to shit.. ROCK ON......
Right? All i know is that I went to see both bands and of course Rush every chance I had!
RUSH , TRIUMPH and APRIL WINE . The Canadian triumvirate of music policy abroad.
I'm 53 almost 54 and glad I grew up in the era that I did. Old enough to remember great classic rock songs like this!!
I'm 59 and happy I was brought up on this type of music
57 I remember
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I'll be 52 in February
👍👍👍
Same here, I'm also 54!
P.S. Have you seen Drive Angry yet!🍭=❤ Charlotte Ross!
I'm here because... Myles Goodwin! R.I.P. beautiful soul!! 🙏🕊Thanks for all of the memories, and kickass music in high school (1977-1980). Saw you with Robin Trower, and Blue Oyster Cult. Back when tickets to a show like that, was five bucks!! 🤩 I would've paid... hundreds!! 🤜🤛 😘

Hey was there my self at coboe hall!! It was awesome carol g 💓
No wish I had the honer but that's cool carol g 💓
My first concert was Aerosmith, 6 happy bucks.
Rest in Peace, Myles. I got to see April Wine twice. It was a great show both times.
I saw them once in Little Rock along with Rush. Badass
@@furbabydaddy814 That would definitely have been a winning combination.
Me too ❤

Best song for APRIL WINE! This is real raw rock music! Beats the garbage today. R.I.P Myles.
I'm still listening at 63 in 2024. Hell yeah. Classic
I miss the 80's...who else? We can always press replay on the music!
I just wish we could press replay on life
they played Rockford speedway in the late 70s
I miss the 80s graduated h.s. n 1985
We didn't know how good we had it, would of enjoyed it more
Listening in England, an expat for 30 years educating my son on good music. He also shares his heavy metal and now rock together. Took him to an Alice Cooper concert last year….loved it! Also Kiss,Iron Maiden at Download festival. Going to miss Metallic this year due to a family wedding in the US 🤘Music was much better growing up as I’m approaching 60 😂
April wine was a seriously bad ass band especially with the 3 guitarists attack !!! They were way too underrated !!!
kix also.
That “term” again…🫥

65 and still rocking to April Wine..Rock n Roll!!!!

This American girl grew up loving April Wine, too! RIP Myles!
Irish here, always liked them.
American kids too brother. I bet American fans outnumber you Canucks!
I have always considered ' Silver Dollar' to have been one of their best also.
When 'Harder..Faster' was released in 79, it was for month in my rotation, still one of my all time favorite album. Myles your gone but not forgotten.
Great musicians playing great music.
Zero violence or trashing anyone.
Amen brotha
"Journey to the Stars, Rock N Roll Guitars." One of the best rock lyrics ever written.

There is one thing that takes you back to your youth, and this is it. Love this song, turn it up!
Even as my memory begins to fade, there is nothing like music to take me to a moment long forgotten and allow me to relive it with such clarity I even smell it.

Got lucky. Seen them twice, once opening from Nazareth, then later opening for Rush. They were absolutely amazing. This is my favorite AW jam! So many guitars and changeups. How can you go wrong?
R.I.P. Myles. Very underrated singer, songwriter, and front man. So glad I got to see them live. They were VERY impressive as a live band.
Rocking to April Wine at 16 years old in my first car!!!! Rocking in North Carolina on the way to the beach! 1977 best music ever!
Who knows, we might've crossed paths but never realized! Born and raised in MB, well that is if you're referring to MB.
Same, but on the way to the beach in Clearwater, Fl.
Nags Head?
A very underrated band from Canada which didn't get enough airtime.
Canadian rock band formed in 1969 and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There are a lot of problems with that sentence if your aim is to be in a famous rock band.
Same video location at Rush Tom Sawyer...A Canadian rock band that also didn't get enough air time.
For sure
@Breve Stule I personally prefer april wine

Safe Journey to the Stars Myles, Thanks for the Music brother!
This song never gets old!!👍
Ya but you do
Indeed!
This is one of their best songs ..... By far
The very end of it is the frosting on the cake......me loves it !!!!

one of the most underrated bands of all time. they are amazing.
I couldn’t stop listening to this when I was a young kid, and now I am addicted listening to it again.
Ditto!!
Not a bad thing.
The tribute they make to the Beatles and Stones at the end of this song is classic.
That's why I remember this song!
The way they work together, and with this song!

Cooperation. Lost skill.
That still happens grampa

Me and my buddy Ernie used to build snow forts in his back yard. Bring in an extension cord, a portable LP player and sit in the fort smoking his parents cigarettes and listening to Harder Faster. I was 10, now 54... absolutely love April Wine....always will. Canada Proud. The Great White North.
Me and my buddy did the same thing. We called it "camping out " but it was an excuse so we could smoke and sneak around the neighborhood. Except, we built our fort out of bedsheets. There wasn't much snow in Houston, Texas, haha.
@@scottwilliams8334 Fucking rights my American brother hahahaha. Amazing music is amazing music.
RIP Myles Goodwyn. Thanks for bringing back my love of Canadian Rock N Roll with this track.
Saw these guys twice. They were so legit and fantastic live. Impressive band on any scale.
saw them twice also, April 9 & August 9 in the Soo
@@MrSvenJolihow long ago was that?
@@augustusgloop9330 ~1980
@@MrSvenJoli oh lol way before I was born lol
I'm 58 years old and jammed to a lot of southern Rock music was the outlet I needed to relax and plus no video games around
Heck ya! April Wine, Skynyrd, Allman Bros, Outlaws, Eagles... seen all these and had many more on vinyl back then.
I love how this song showcases them as a band that can do it all in just 1 song. This song is a masterpiece IMO.
2 different rhythm sections on it I love it.
*RIP To The Lead Singer*
His kick ass voice is going to live on *FOREVER*
Jerry Mercer is quite underrated as a drummer! 70's school dances and cruising till the tires fell off!
"Oooowatanite" ....
He’s not “underrated” amongst other drummers
Simple hard rock song. No gimmicks. One of the best rock songs EVER ❤❤❤❤
" Journey to the stars ... Rock 'n' roll guitars" !!!
The talent in this group always blew me away.
Just between you and me, This Band Made Great Music ❤️
She's a high roller, kiks it, Gypsy queen album kiks also, got that 1!
I won't tell anyone, promise
Rocking this shit for my late brother Chris!! He introduced me to this band and all things badass. He was always the perfect example of the 80s.
Cool jam. Cool, Loop tee shirt. A Chicago radio station FM 98. Back in 1989, I won a trip to Rome to see Paul McCartney, from this station.
April wine, Uriah Heap and Blue Oyster Cult was the first Concert I went to back in the 80's, and all 3 bands kicked ass!!!!!!!
This song and April wine are criminally underrated
But if they were overrated you'd be sick of them
Sometimes it's best to be underrated
I love April Wine but do you want to hear every f****** minute on the radio like guns n' roses and journey and Metallica
Nothing is more Rock'n'Roll than espresso, tabletop hockey and a rowboat ride.
Saw April Wine open for Journey, Atlanta Rythmn Section and The Rolling Stones Sept. 78' Rich Stadium, Buffalo, NY, April Wine took full advantage! Lots of Canadians in the crowd, been a fan ever since!
I accept being old now... because it means I got to be young then... 🤘
amen brother, amen
You are not old, just older
We are so Blessed to have lived in that generation!🙋♂️
@@DarrenFinley
They're so screwed when we're gone. 😂
🐺🤟
One of the most underrated bands in the history of rock music...
They did not get the recognition he should have
Definitely
@@slowdog9932 You must be one of the strange ones who thumbed this song/video down?
Thank you
Yes you're right, they had the formula down, but the A&R guy's didn't know how to market them. Such a loss, because I think they had a lot more to say. You can look at how the hairbands of the 80s copied their sound and made a truck full of money off it.
Best rock concert I’ve been to was April Wine. Criminal they are not in the a Rock and a Roll Hall of Fame. I could name over 30 April Wine hits that still get AirPlay. Just a great rock band. Great Canadians!
Saw them open for Styx back in 76, great concert! the drummer had a moving platform that came to the front and he did his solo!
THey are in Canada's version, at least...so underrated!
As an American, I didn’t know they were Canadian. All I know is , they kicked ass and I always found myself cranking up the stereo in my T\A and rolling down the road. Thanks for being a part of my rock and roll library. I’m thankful to have grown up in the 70s and 80s with such iconic bands.
growing up in Toronto there were many Canadian bands that could get on the radio (Goddo, ) but struggled for U.S. exposure....
Trust me. you haven't lived until you've heard them live in concert. One of the best shows I have ever seen.
Seen them in Rockford , Il in the early 80's. Absolutely brought the house down!
Ican't even start to imagine...hair stands on end thinking about it
Guitar 'solos lick ass and they always have a big drum solo also
Hey Allan...nice meeting ya!
Saw em in Halifax in the early 80s. Great show 🤟
Love April Wine! Love the Tribute to the Beatles with the Day Tripper riffs with the Rolling Stones Satisfaction Riffs! Wish April Wine got More Fame. They are EPIC!
I really liked that riff, too. Is that something all bands did back then or just April Wine, if you know.
@@Scoutfbk if any band did you'd be hard-pressed to find one
Was just thinking about that same thing again. Was listening to the Damn Yankees and thought what a cool collaboration it would be with Boston and them if that makes any sense?
Truly Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So clearly I should have read the comments before I made mine... Thanks for clearing that up and letting me know I'm not crazy...
One of if not the most underrated bands of all time. Absolutely loved these guys.
I LOVE THIS SONG! I remember listening to it slinging stock at Kroger 869 in 1977! Mark Moulder, Eddie Cripps , Ron Hunter,you were there too! GOOD TIMES!❤
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there was so freaking many killer CANADIAN ROCK BANDS!! I grew up listening to all of them and had no clue most were from Canada! Wow!😱🤯 mind blown….. 🥳
👍🇨🇦🤘
I'm reliving the 80's today. Cause there is no other rock era. I like to rock. 57 years old and still kicking
I`m 65 and still feel like a teenager when I hear these tunes again.
@@brimet8688 Exactly. I never left the 70s and 80s. I hear this stuff and I'm right back there in middle junior high and high school. All anybody ever wanted to do was jam out. I still can't get enough of it. Boomers rock!
Hal McPheters I'm 58 & relating.
I'll be 50 in less then 48 hrs, Wait What!?!..DAM Lol... This song was released in 1980 I was 10 and had the biggest crush on my 16 yr old babysitter, as soon as my parents left, cars started pulling up, and within 15 minutes of them leaving songs like this were playing on stereo, coolers with ice and beer were in the back porch and I was having the time of my life hanging out with HS kids and taking those instant Poloroid camera pics with some of the hottest girls I'd ever seen..LOL..And THIS song will always bring me back there.. Pam where ever you are THANK YOU!!!!
I'm 57 and still diggin' it; who says ya gotta stop listening to your fave jams 'cause you get older ?
The way they finish that song off with two classic riffs is timeless. Really puts a stamp on it.
+Lance Manyon Exactly, it makes this song a classic to me forever!
+David Ummel A Little Day tripping Satisfaction baby!
rip off righteous!
One of the best quintets ever. Man I loved these guys! And - The Loop T-shirt is everything when FM took off the 50,000 watt blowtorch could be heard for 100’s of miles.
2024 One of the Best songs ever!!
Always makes me feel Good!!
RIP Myles see you on the other side
Saw these guys open for Styx at the Philly Spectrum in 1979. What an in credible performance. That was the first time I'd ever seen three guys step up and play lead guitars. (Hadn't seen Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet yet). Great show all the way around.
I also saw that tour, long beach sports arena
Styx shoulda been opening for AW...
Saw AC/DC right after Bon Scott died around I think 79 or something...his replacement "Brian" cool voice too but nothing like Bon....anyway they came back with Back in Black a solid album .... Front role center Detroit Cobo Hall 40,000 Watts of power smoked the greatest weed that night.....and one of the greatest performances that I had the pleasure of witnessing, I will never forget!!!! ( those were great days )
@@ronaldtownsend6296 so so jelly!!! Had tickets in ‘2006 to see them for 1st time. A major ice storm shut down whole state; we couldn’t get to venue. Was so disappointed, the show went on with half the venue full. Tickets were refunded; Malcolm and Bon were my favorite members. Gotta have that rhythm; the back beat rhythm. May they both R.I.P.
Me too at Cobo Arena ( of Kiss's Alive ! fame ) in Detroit . Both band rocked .
...Thank You For all The Years All the Music, Memories Myles Rest in Peace My Freind...
i discovered this on the day miles passed through a friend's fb page...been my go-to song to kickstart my day ever since!
3 lead guitarist switching back and forth.. Holy Fuck that's Real Rock and roll
Yes ! And Roller is also a prime example. Check it out on TH-cam for a live performance ! Awesome
One of the greatest rock and roll bands ever
The definition of rock and roll is April wine. This is what it's all about these guys were just jamming out and having lots of fun doing it and they were so goddamn good.
I can't remember ever seeing a band with 4 guitar players....
@@scottpowell4342 Find The Outlaws, then play Green Grass and High Tides Forever, or There Goes Another Love Song.
Low key the funniest moment from Trailer Park Boys - when Ricky tells the guy from Rush he loves their song I Like to Rock
Ya.. funny shit
" play that diane Sawyer song"
Lerxst is the man!
Yeah, Ricky made a mistake with the April Wine, “I Like To Rock””, but he made up for it by asking Alex to play that “Diane Sawyer” song. That must be off their “Motion Pictures” album. (purposeful mistake)
Alex Lifeson is a great sport. All the guys in Rush have a great sense of humor (RIP Professor). Alex did play a little bit of that “Diane Sawyer” song of their’s though. That was nice of Ricky to give Alex a buck thirty six for cab fare, even if Lifeson had to pick it up off the ground.
He did call Alex a drunk male prostitute, but Alex called him a kidnapper, so that’s only fair. There is a big difference between borrowing someone and kidnapping them. I’m not sure what it is, but Ricky told me there was. It isn’t Ricky’s fault that Alex is one of those big rockstar, living in his little dreamworld, playing his big fucking guitar. He should be used to this stuff, he is in a rock band you know?
Just like Ricky pointed out before flipping Alex the finger, “he started it!”. Alex did start it all when he said, “I’m not a ticket agency!.” What kind of answer is that? Ricky even gave him the option of doing it the easy way or the hard way. It’s not Ricky’s fault that Alex chose the hard way. Ricky was ready with the duct tape though, because Ricky had heard that Lifeson was one of those rock stars that aren’t very approachable.
I love Rush. They not only make some of the best music ever, but they all were down to earth people, with no big egos. That’s why they were able to stay together for so many decades as friends, not just band mates. How many rock groups can say that?
Lifeson really helped make this skit funny and played some of that “Diane Sawyer” song. I really like that song. I’ve seen them play that in concerts many times, but I have never actually seen Diane Sawyer at any of the concerts?
“That’s April wine” :)
I honestly had to come find the song because of Ricky saying that. This episode is maybe one of the funniest of all the seasons. Buying weed from the cops, hitting the column while backing out, giving a shit about the damage to his car missing a door ☠️☠️☠️
Im not giving anyone an "R"
One of the most underrated songs... from one of the most underrated bands... April Wine ROCKED !!
Thanks Syd!
This album is so underrated it.has so many cool time changes and dynamics its crazy
What an underrated band. Great guitars, rhythm and vocals. You guys rock!
April wine and triumph were underrated.
My dad use to listen to alot of Wine back in the day and I still have one of his records along with Rush, Trapeze, Blackfoot, Rainbow and many others..... Every once in awhile he sings, "journey to the stars...." you get it. The more I listen, the more I appreciate Wine. Killer tunes and in tune guitars...
I recently reconnected with some of April Wines' hits and 'God' these guys are so great and their contributions to Rock-n-Roll!!!! I hope the 'youth' of today understands, this is the true meaning of 'Rock'!! The song "I Like to Rock" is one of my favorites of 'all time'! RIP Myles!! You were a true Rock-n-Roll ambassador!
Outstanding.....
These days are gone forever
All I can say is the studio they are playing in is iconic.Many greats has played and recorded there.
Le Studio !
Aka rush’s studio
@@steven8417 Yes sir!
The one Dave g bought out
I have an idea where that studio might be but I think it might be in Canada?
My girl, my Duster, meeting friends at the video arcade, going to the drive-in, and April Wine is the start of an awesome Friday night in '81.
Wow - You had same life as me....lol
and for years prior and afterward.
Yes Sir.. Rock On.
Blasted this in my 72 Duster that was just big enough for my surfboard to fit passenger dash to drivers side rear with my girl sitting in the passenger side back seat. She accommodated my board... good girl.
Take me back please..2020 is awful.
Rip 😭 brother THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE AWESOME EPIC MEMORIES 💯🙌🙏
Straight rock and roll. When you're in the mood to groove, nothing beats this stuff!
🤟
really underrated real rock N roll band ,
@ted ritola did Head Easy cover the song "I Like To Rock?" I loved Head East.
There's the U word! No YT page is complete without it!
...Love the little 'Day Tripper' riff at the end...Great 80's Rock !
day tripper mixed with Can't Get no Satisfaction
@@hmackie6823 AND "Green Eyed Lady"
That's what it was!!!!
Thank you 💖
Me too johnee kid its powerful jees its bangin hard hittin me hard...
Nowadays they would get sued for that.
This song rocks man! I wish I was born in the era of all this true rock n roll
