@@markseleood6623 Hi Mark, Forgive me, as I'm old and a lil out of touch: I don't get your point, friend. My point was for those of us who were into AFOS back then, MTV was our outlet - unless we were lucky enough to catch them perform live and be up close. The emergence of TH-cam brings captured moments to life for every fan to enjoy - not just those who were at that specific show. My point was not about feeling like an outsider, and F *anybody* who makes you feel that way! Thanks for your comment!
@@jerryfiore5818 hi man yeah I get were your coming from now that you explained to me that back in that era that you had to go out see the bands live gigs and that must have taken a lot of time and money but worthwhile for real life experiences pretty kool cool really so thanks for the insight and keep on rocking in the free world 🎸🎤🎵🎧🎙

I'm 60 years + old, I still appreciate a gem like this. The 80's were the shit. We didn't realize how good we had it. What I wouldn't give to climb in the time machine with some of my friends and take a few weeks off
I'm in my mid 40s but I would damn sure take a ride back to the 80s!! Those were my pre teen years but still had a blast!!! Early 90s not as good but still ok, early 00s sucked and today I find myself asking that damn question we all do, what the hell happened???
The 80's were such a magical time. Not a worry on my mind. Food miraculously appeared in the fridge, a case of beer was less than $20, not a bill to be paid & IMO, the best music ever. I'm now 57 & I look back on these days with such reverence. Don't get me going on the music of today. Thank Christ for TH-cam.
@@HughCorbyCruick But isn't it recorded with electric drums??? I seem to recall from he org. Music vid.They used electric drums. For me it's more the usual thing. Hurrying through the song,by playing it fast.
Paul Reynolds was one of the best guitar players of the 80s. With a unique sound and style. Criminally underrated. No many guitar players sound better live than in the studio.
@@paulreynolds1760 Hi Paul, I'm a big fan of all the 80s guitar greats like Gary Moore etc..but you have such a distinctive sound and fantastic melodies in your playing...always appreciated your playing.
Paul Reynolds will always be an underrated guitarist, even though he single handedly created the wavy 80's guitar sound. Just a genius that needs to be held in higher esteem. And to think he was only a teenager while in this band.
Under rated comment,completely agree. As much as I adore EVH and shredders 80's guitar woulda sucked hard without the clever minimalist splashes and spritzes that Paul (and others) offered.I think 80's pop guitarists in general have been undervalued compared to the Eric Walsh Van Gibbons. Guys like Elliot Easton for example.
I bought him a drink in a pub called the Borough in Sunderland several years ago. He didn't think he was that great a guitarist even though I told him he was.
One of my favourite songs of the 80’s. Still love it today. The guitar solo is the finest on any pop record from the 80’s. What a sound. Paul’s sound defined AFOS. Class.
Paul Reynolds (guitarist) joined the band in 1979, when he was 17. He replaced the original guitarist Willie Woo. He left the band in 1984. In 2003, he rejoined the group for an episode of VH1's Bands Reunited. Before the performance, he was interviewed about why he left the band; he claimed that he was too young for the "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" and that he was exhausted from all of the performances. In early 2018 he rejoined the original lineup for their first new album since 1984's, Ascension.
A Flock of Seagulls, The Fixx, Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army, Billy Idol, The Psychedelic Furs, The Human League and many others of that time were and still are my go-to bands that take me back to the 80's to refresh. Kids today have no idea what true freedom is. So sad...
Where would this song ever be without Paul's guitar style and creatively composed little parts, it's like a second vocal line it's so pretty, he really made the bands' sound work so well in the early days. Great band.
Just me speaking, but the guitar was the first "line" that I was following. Even if the vocals did hold their weight as a smart melodic counterpoint, it was really the guitar (and to a lesser extent the synths) that WERE the sound of AFOS's songs. It's what set them apart from everyone else at the time. Certainly not the drums (nothing against this particular drummer, it's just that every 80's band of this ilk seemed to fall back on the same basic head-jerking beat.)
I was in my 20's when this song came out. Now I'm a father of a 21 and 17 years old, both boys. They told me to show them how to dance this songs, so in the middle of the confinement we plan a back to 80's family party. Just the 4 of us, so we dance, dine and watched more like this, we had a lot of fun. And videos to show to my future grandchildren. Stay safe you all. Blessings
Paul Reynolds proving that you don't have to be overly complicated or play a million different chords to be a really, really, really good guitar player. Certainly one of the best guitarists to come out of the early MTV era, and that statement might be selling him short.
He only played a few notes in this. But his style and the special sound of his guitar makes all the difference. This song wouldn't work without his simple riff and unique sound.
In my opinion, the 80’s was such a magical time for music as a whole, everything that came out from that era was and is just so magical and stands its ground against any other music era
I reakon youtube should have a feature called 'VHS mode', where if enough people pause a video at a certain place, it inserts fake tracking lines, just so you know a thousand other people have paused and frame-advanced at the same place..... like we used to do back in the 80's.
this live performance kicks ass, i mean just look/listen at that intro...the smoke, the synth wave sound of seagulls, mike score's silhouette and hair amidst the all that smoke, just menacing and fierce 👌
As a child I wasn’t sure what ‘tawny’ eyes meant. I changed the lyrics to ‘I never thought I’d meet an owl like you’. I’m a roofer now. Customers often catch me getting my groove on up on their roofs to tracks like this on my 80’s playlist. Great track. One of the really powerful ones for nostalgia.
I heard this song on the radio when I came to United States from eastern Europe in 1983 at the age of 14. I remember thinking to my myself: "what I cool song! What a cool country!" Hahaha. I still feel that way!!!!
The first time I heard this I was living in Suva, Fiji. It came on the car radio and I was nearly catapulted out of my seat. I loved it from the first few notes and sat mesmerized, listening. I still love it today.
This takes me back to 1982 driving from Pennsylvania to Maryland to go to the club Deerpark Lodge, in my 1971 Karman Ghia convertible, down the highway with this tape in the cassette player and this song blasting as loud as possible...ahh, good times...
I was born in 1964 and grew up rockin and rolling until I heard my first Devo song and it was then that I was reborn into New Wave. I will forever love both genres and the music that came from them. Thanks for making my life great!!!
I love driving down the highway with this blasting at full volume with the windows down. Always get lots of positive reinforcement, thumbs up and waves, smiles.
This is one of the best lead guitarists in the world. The guy can take a few notes and fill the whole arena. Very rare. If a hair dress can be a rock starr, anyone can.
Im a lifelong drummer and 52 now.played songs from both bands over the years in cover bands.and i love both of those guitar players.but elliot easton is the man.helped our guitar player learn the leads for a few cars songs back in the day.before you could just look on TH-cam.and did a lot of stop and go back on the cd for him.one that comes to mind the most was " best friends girl" lead.had to have it note for note.what a great lead part.
Brings back so many memories from the 80's. Who would've thought back then that their singers hairdo eventually would be adorned by a future president of America.
That guitar is pretty awesome, no doubt. But let's give a little love to that bass line. Pretty solid groove going on there -- makes the spare guitar possible.
Wow, saw these guys in 1983! The Fixx opened for them. One of the loudest concerts I've ever been to. Paul Reynolds was such a unique guitarist and really fun to watch live. This was their last song and by this time the crowd was wrung out. But very satisfied! What fun the '80s were! The '70s were pretty damn cool, too. Like the saying goes . . . I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands!
Really? That's your post? They sucked in the 80's and this was their only hit...but you claimed you would basically give up your soul... hmmm another idiot....
Arguably the coolest music ever created and recorded. Lucky kids in the audience. Lucky to have this video to one day inspire similar music and creativity.
Paulo REYNOLDS uno de los mejores guitarristas de todos los times tiempos . Este hombre nació para ser guitarrista , congratulaciones y grazie por el vídeo ,este video me recuerda mi Juventud . Grazie pur tutti ,salutez desde AGS, MEX , 30,11,22.
When that video came out on MTV my world changed for good!! The hair, (as a hairdresser) the lead guitar playing by Paul, the video of them playing the song… it was simply put, INCREDIBLE…❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻

,,except for the AIDS epidemic, Reagan + Thatcher, the Falklands War..
So much more color in life in the 80’s, from entertainment to fashion
Like AIDS?
I would definitely love to go back!!

I always liked Paul Reynolds Guitar 🎸 sound! That echo sound was amazing! And he actually looked cool with those glasses!
No PHONES..Just dancing and having fun..love it
I was 4 in '82, I'm still stuck on 70's and 80's. Most of the years after are just bits and pieces.

Brings back so many memories from the 80's. Who would've thought back then that their singers hairdo eventually would be adorned by a future president of America.
lmfao..!!!!
Ha ha ha 😆😆
The 80's were THE BEST time of my LIFE!!!!!
Early 80's Country Club Reseda, CA
I was there ;)
Good time!
The guitarist has a cool style!
That guitar is pretty awesome, no doubt. But let's give a little love to that bass line. Pretty solid groove going on there -- makes the spare guitar possible.
Amazing... Forever...
Wow, saw these guys in 1983! The Fixx opened for them. One of the loudest concerts I've ever been to.
Paul Reynolds was such a unique guitarist and really fun to watch live.
This was their last song and by this time the crowd was wrung out. But very satisfied!
What fun the '80s were! The '70s were pretty damn cool, too.
Like the saying goes . . .
I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands!
I saw them and the Fixx. They were both excellent. Probably the best concert I ever saw and I saw some really great ones.
For real man, you were lucky
Saw them at the US festival in 83.
The Flock of Seagulls, The Fixx and The Police at Comisky Park Summer of 1983 in Chicago!
@Lori LeSage I graduated college. 🎓
Damn what I would give to see them in concert back in their day.
Really? That's your post? They sucked in the 80's and this was their only hit...but you claimed you would basically give up your soul... hmmm another idiot....
We had tickets to see them in Michigan, but they canceled and I never got to see them. Must have been when Paul fell ill.

Saw them at the Mann Music Center in Philly back in the early 80's. The Fixx opened up for them. Great show.
@@bonscottrocks1728 This was NOT their only hit in the 80's. THEY DID NOT SUCK!
God I feel young again., thank you!
Of all the songs that I danced to thru college 1979-1984-this one is at the top. Mean Mr Mustards in Columbus Ohio. RIP. Such great memories.
I would say, that's a signature song for New Wave. Brilliant!
Paul Reynolds on fire! That was a great performance from the band! They had many great songs! Miss the eighties!
Goosebumps, best heard and watched during the 80s.
The 80s, I lived it and loved it ! I want to go back!
Arguably the coolest music ever created and recorded. Lucky kids in the audience. Lucky to have this video to one day inspire similar music and creativity.

Paul Reynolds must be from planet Krypton, his MAD guitar skills is out of this world; he can deliver a pure energy with his guitar...
What an amazing time to be alive! I was super young but I remember this and many other great bands on MTV when they actually played music videos.
When that video came out on MTV my world changed for good!!
The hair, (as a hairdresser) the lead guitar playing by Paul, the video of them playing the song… it was simply put, INCREDIBLE…❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Was n high school from 80-84, best decade ever 😅😂❤
