    I like the homage they pay to The Beatles and the Rolling stones at the end of I Like to Rock combining Day tripper and satisfaction.

    Growing up in Montreal in the 70’s, April Wine was definitely one of the top Canadian bands. Great songs. I’ve seen them numerous times in their hay-day in Mtl.
    Great live band 🤘🤘🇨🇦🇨🇦

    The way you do Roller definitely sounds right to my ears. Just Between You And Me is a gorgeous guitar piece. Thanks for the lesson on this classic Canadian band.

    On Canada Day, no less! Greetings from Prince Edward Island (next to Nova Scotia)... in the same way the Midwest is a non-political region in the USA, we have the "Maritime" provinces: PEI, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. April Wine is arguably the biggest band to come out of the Maritimes. Thanks for the lesson!

  • @432b86ed

    Excellent Lesson! Thanks, David! As an 8th grader, I loved watching and listening to all of those sunburst guitars in their video for "Sign of the Gypsy Queen," on Mtv in 1982! Great Chordplay Lesson!

    • @TheHumbuckerboy

      Yeah, AW always had really cool guitars ! Plus I was enjoying listening to 'Sign of the Gypsy Queen' over the last several evenings !

  • @TheHumbuckerboy
    @TheHumbuckerboy ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Many thanks for covering April Wine ! I live in the UK and I first became aware of April Wine at the age of 15 back in 1981 with 'I Like to Rock' and I then started to collect their albums such as 'First Glance', 'Harder Faster', 'Nature of the Beast', 'Power Play' and 'Animal Grace' . That line-up of the band are who I think of concerning AW. They were a big part of what was good about my teenage years .AW were fantastic as far as I am concerned and I still really enjoy listening to them regularly today. They sadly got precious little radio coverage here and both 'I Like to Rock' and 'Just Between You and Me' just missed out on reaching the top 40 in the charts. I feel that if either song had managed to break the top 40 then AW would have received the necessary exposure and their popularity would have exploded in the UK.

  • @stevencrash
    @stevencrash ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love me some April Wine! They were in heavy rotation on WWCK 105 FM in Flint, Michigan when I was a teenager and I still spin their records today! I got to see them live 2 or 3 times in the prime years, ;First Glance', 'Harder....Faster', and 'Naturre of the Beast' are the trifeckta of kick ass Canadien Rock n' Roll!

    hé nice, love April Wine. I went to Jerry Mercer's house at l'ile Perot because of my drummer friend who knew him. He is so down to earth and cool. He was cutting vegatable, preparing food for his family. He gave us a listen of the track tonight is a wonderfull time to fall in love before it was out and asked us if we liked it? lol to me it became a big hit on Frigate and that's exactly what I had said. I said man that's a hit. he smiled and said ya you think so? he was very pleased. hahaha we stayed there for about 45 minutes.

    I love April Wine since I first heard them on a compilation record. Your analysis here suggests they are really rooted in the 70's rock grooves-riffs-sounds, however they always sound different to me, very fresh and modern up untill today. Thanks for this really intersting vid

    👍👍👍... Love AW and Myles is a very under rated writer. The lineup of Myles, Brian, Gary and Jerry I believe was their best by far. They did some excellent work and have some awesome albums from that mid 70's to mid 80's and a few real good ones in the 90's. Thanks for sharing a band that seems to get lost in the mire of all the other music of that time. Myles just retired recently but has endorsed a new lead singer to carry on with the band and they are touring again which is nice to see.

Also, always dug the video of theirs on “ I Like To Rock”. If that song doesn’t get you moving then it’s time to see if you still have a pulse. 😂

Three guitar attack, great great band but never made it to a good recording. Brian may be one of the very best Canadian guitar players ever, and doesn't get enough recognition.

      My goodness! That brought back some long forgotten memories... I was the only kid in my Home Counties UK school in ‘78-‘80 who knew who April Wine were, and who bought their albums. Ditto Triumph. Everyone else was either into Queen/ Genesis/Yes, British heavy metal (Samson, Saxon, early Maiden, ‘Stained Class’ era Judas Priest etc) or new wave. Knew I was on to a damn good thing ... until I foolishly sold every single one of my rock albums to fund the purchase of my first 35mm SLR camera. Time to revisit, I think.
