"Sign Of The Gypsy Queen"
"All Over Town"
"I Like To Rock"
All of the above are more great rockin' tunes from 'April Wine'.
Their biggest US hit was a power ballad called
"Just Between You And Me". Not my personal favorite, but hey, to each their own.
Enjoy your day...🎸🎶🙂
The only ones I heard on the radio were ‘Sign of the Gypsy Queen’ and ‘I Like to Rock’ that also had a video that played on MTV.
Would always find a friend that had an album so you could get a cassette recording if you were cool…
@@GunsmithSid ~ Take alisten to "All Over Town". You might like it.
I listened to a lot of AOR radio back in the 80's. They played many deep cuts from these bands...
I love their cover of 21st Century schizoid Man as well. And All over Town as well.
@@scottlaughlin9897 ~ "All Over Town" always makes me laugh. When it says:
"I don't care" -- "HE DON'T CARE" -- "I don't care"...😁😄😄
@Deborahtunes My most favorite over looked song is Before the Dawn
Oh, and April wines song sign of the Gypsy Queen is awesome
Great song
That's actually a song by: Lorence Hud
...but, yes: April Wine's version is seminal (and the best-known version - arguably, outside of Canada.🤷).
Nature Of The Beast is (pretty easily) their best album, overall
[and most well-known, as well.]
🤘🤘
Silver Dollar even better
Underrated band - absolute fire song.
Very underrated band. Easily up there with the great rock bands of the 70's and 80's/
April Wine, yet another Canadian band... haven't thought of them in awhile... good music. Sign Of The Gypsy Queen and Just Between You And Me are their two biggest international hits, but they had lots of success until their founder and vocalist Myles Goodwin passed away in 2023
Saw them back in the 70's at their peak! And they did not disappoint! One of the many amazing things about this band is that they had 3 lead guitarist. So, lead wise, they would go back and forth on leads, licks, tricks, etc. They would do it so quickly that one would think they were at a tennis match! All the back and forth in all their songs! It's quite astounding to witness that!
Iron Maiden copied them...jk. these guys are fire. Thanks for reaction! More Yes. Lol
Aprilwine is a rabbit hole yous want to check out so many great songs!
Canada rules...RUSH, Triumph, April Wine...all good shit!
“Could Have Been A Lady” and “Just Between You And Me “ are another couple of great songs.
April wine bangers to hit...in chrono order so you see the progression in their music. 1972, Bad Side of the Moon, You Could Have Been a Lady.....1973, Lady Run Lady Hide, Weeping Widow... 1974 I Wouldnt Want to Lose Your Love,...1975, Tonight is a Wonderful time to Fall in Love, Oowattanite....1976, The Whole Worlds Going Crazy.... 1977, You Wont Dance With Me..... 1978, Rock and Roll is a Vicious Game, ....1979, Roller (you are covering it), ....1980, Say Hello, I Like to Rock....1981, Just Between You and Me, Sign of the Gypsy Queen, ....and 1982, Enough is Enough.
That list covers all the singles they released that got tons of air time on the radio back then.
Faster hard rock songs from the list above (the others are waltzes or ballads) Bad Side of The Moon, You could have Been a Lady, Weeping Widow, Oowattanite, Say Hello, Like to Rock, Sign of The Gypsy Queen, and Enough is Enough......they all have catchy guitar riffs in them like roller......
Love April Wine..check out Just Between you and me by them..great song oh and Sign of the gypsy queen..awesome group
Great band with many awesome tunes.. R.I.P Myles Goodwyn...
The entire “Nature of the Beast” album is great.
Hi folks fellow Canadian here ,haven't heard this song for a long time .This was a popular song in my time .Thanks fort the memories!!!!
Harmonizing guitars are killer, one of my favorite things about rock music
I had the pleasure of seeing these guys in the mid eighties, I didn't expect much but saw one of the best shows ever. Thanks for this one
Rest in peace Myles Goodwyn. I love this band this is from the album harder... faster it came out when I was about 18 in the military Great reaction guys rock on .
This song is from First Glance the album before Harder Faster
Give us some more April Wine , I like to Rock, sign of the gypsy queen, just between you and me, and many more 🎸🪕🪘
Seen them live many times back in the day and they were always great live. Didn't hurt that their drummer is form my home province of Newfoundland.
Yay Thank you Phil and Sam.. ❤❤ Heard it on the radio in Chicago in 1979 and right away got the Album First Glance. Jerry Mercer is killer on Drums. Lol Sorry I repeated it guys
Just how I like my ROCK, ( STRAIGHT UP)😅😊
Absolutely do more April Wine. This band has so many great hits. Slowing it down listen to: Just Between you and Me...great love song.
R.I.P. lead singer, sorry forgot his name...passed this year.
Myles Goodwyn
@@stevenseul361 Thank you!
My favorites from April Wine are "Enough Is Enough", "Just Between You & Me", "Tell Me Why" and "If You See Kay". Good Memories! Another great Canadian band, that you should check out, is Aldo Nova. Especially "Fantasy" & "Ball and Chain".
Haven't watched yet. But...BOOM!!!!! This is gonna be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
You're going to get many recommendations for other April Wine songs. And although, they have many good songs, only one is a big banger like this one...
"I Like to Rock"
"I Like to Rock" Is a must listen. They combine the Beatles - Day Tripper, Rolling Stones - Satisfaction, and their song I like to Rock all at the same time at the end sooooo Good!
Today would have been Myles Goodwyn's birthday.
April Wine opened for the Steve Miller Band in Detroit and was televised on CBC Windsor when I was in high school. Roller was their final song.
Never heard of April Wine until 1980 and this was the first song i heard by them and i was hooked. I have listened to every album and i have never heard a bad song. By far my all time #1 band. No matter what you do next you will be impressed.
Also anther cool story is how they helped out Keith Richard and the Rolling Stones when Keith got into some trouble with the local law enforcement over some drugs. Richards was order to do some community service so April Wine did a show that was featuring a up and coming band. People were confused when April Wine opened the show but when the Rolling Stones came out after well lets just say Keith's debt was paid in full. Later the Stones allowed April Wine to use a riff from Can't Get No Satisfaction on their song I like to Rock. Maybe you guys should check that one out. Please see link below.

April Wine has so many great songs, must do more!!! Silver Dollar is one you should check out.
April Wine is what happens when you have three lead guitarists, lol. I first started listening to April Wine as a teenager in the late '70s. Love 'em.
Anything off of harder faster, a couple favorites being, I Like To Rock, and 21st Century Schizoid Man.
"Just Between You and Me" 👌
April Wine in June? lol. Great rock band
Fire! 🔥🔥🔥 A waterfall of sound from the three lead guitarists!
Hey Guys, April Wine is from Waverly, Nova Scotia! I lived 5 km away from them! Lost count how many times i saw them live in my teens and 20s !! RIP Miles Goodwin "Lead Singer" Great reaction video!
I grew up in Newfoundland in the 70's and 80's and April Wine were the big east coast band and revered across Canada. They were a great rock band. Sadly the lead singer and band founder Myles Goodwyn recently passed away. They totally deserve greater recognition in the world of Rock! April WIne suggestions are Could Have Been A Lady, I Like To Rock, Oowatanite. Great Reaction!
I have been subscribed since pretty close to the beginning!
More Triumph, more April Wine!
I Like to Rock! Magic Power! Never Surrender! Make your country proud! Love you both!❤
April Wine is one of my favourite bands. Premier Canadian Band all the way. Many ,many fantastic hits. Weeping Widow is a great song.
April Wine is a hidden gem of the mid to late 70's into the 80's. Always liked their music, it was great for the time just a bit different in the sound.
Saw them in 1979 when they opened for Styx on their Cornerstone tour.
Banger!!
Myles Goodwyn the lead singer just recently passed. RIP All the greats are passing.
This is a band that should have been bigger than they were.
Great ballad band too. You Won't Dance With me, Just Between You And Me and one of their biggest, Tonight is a Wonderful time
This band has a quite long history, having been formed in 1969 and continuing to perform until Myles Goodwyn's passed away in 2023. Other signature songs are "Slowpoke," "Oowatanite," "You Could Have Been A Lady," "I Like To Rock," "Big City Girls," "Ladies Man." and etc. R.I.P Myles Goodwyn.
Red Rider--Lunatic Fringe
Phil's smile just about all the way throughout the video says it all..BANGER !!!
Tremendous live band. I saw them around 1978. Three guitars playing against each other. Myles' voice was special. Their whole show was full of well-known songs, one better than the other. You could do a whole hour reacting and still miss a few gems.
Now that’s the definition of a BANGER! You need to do “I like to rock” f try on these guys!
They hit it big 1st in Canada, then America. Lots of great songs that saw American radio.
Saw them in the late 70s , when I believe they opened for Rush! Fun times! Thanks
Saw them in concert way back when. Still love them, I'm 70. Take a listen to Weeping Widow.
My introduction to them was in 1972 - “You Could’ve Been A Lady”
written by (the U.K. band):
Hot Chocolate
[of: "You Sexy Thing", "Brother Louie", etc. fame.]
👍👍👍👍
It's one of my favorites, April Wine Roller ❤
BANGER!!! :) THANKS, YA'LL!! Have loved this song since the first time I heard it!! :) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rock and roll is a vicious game. Freaking love every song by April Wine a complete staple for me. Great reaction as usual guys and Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Long time fan of April Wine. I saw them in 1978 on the First Glance tour. They played in the Summerland B.C. High School gymn. I was walking around taking photos with my old Pentax camera. I still have some amazing negatives from that show. Great music.
Met them on their 50th anniversary tour. The singer signed my copy of his autobiography n my guitar. RIP Myles Goodwyn
I really like when you can hear the difference between the Fender and Gibson guitars. Only a few songs, like this one, show that off.
Their "Harder Faster " album is 🔥
They were great in concert. RIP Myles Goodwin
I Like to Rock, Just Between You and Me, Say Hello, and Get Ready for Love. Missing Myles Goodwyn!
Nice choice. Back when these guys were at their peak, EVERY local bar band were attempting covers of these guys, and this track in particular. Some were pretty good.
Awesome choice. Nailed it. Love April Wine.
MY favorite April Wine song! The have a lot of other good songs like "Sign Of The Gypsy Queen"
"All Over Town" "I Like To Rock", Wanna Rock
4:36-Yeah, it's just a 3-chord blues, but if you're gonna do the simple stuff, put the pedal to the metal like these guys do ( I can't get the local guys in my area to grasp that, and they wonder why they can't get any gigs) Love how April Wine's 3 guitarists don't step on each other..my riff, now yours, and the cool guitar god pose at 6:55 Rock on, B & B!
Wish I'd seen them live in concert, awesome cool band yay 👍😆🤘🎤🎸🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey guys, new viewer here, I grew up in Nova Scotia, and saw APRIL WINE from the start, great live band, many other songs to listen to. Great reactions, I will be wAtching🎉
April Wine! The first actual concert I ever attended, April '76, in the middle of dusty, barren Saskatchewan (MooseJaw). The lead-in band was Heart. The entire experience was friggin' awesome! 🤗
Best posture of any drummer.
These guys were so talented. Check out their cover of King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man." Not an easy song to do.
"I Like To Rock" is my favorite April Wine song, it will blow you away, they use the bass line from Green-eyed Lady by Sugarloaf (another fave), and then they meld three songs together at the end (Green-eyed Lady, Satisfaction, and I think Paperback Writer), anyway, totally cool.
Saw them in 76, and Heart was the opening act!
Jam Band! Love these guys, great live band, what more could you want?
I believe this song was one of the first big hits that charted in the US and give them some more international success another great Canadian band
Weeping Widow is a great one. Im from Nova Scotia , saw April Wine live once, so good.
Have to check out April Wine's "I Like To Rock" also. It's a banger. Also has a cool sampling of the Beatles' Day Tripper and The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction near the end as well.
Excellent band, they were on our radars in the 70s and 80s, Big-Time! They helped fuel.many a partu, 3 killer lead guitars and they made some great rockers and even covered King Crimson with 21st Century Skizoid Man, banger of a song. More April Wine! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
"Weeping Widow" & "Oowatanite" are a couple of my favourite April Wine songs.
70's rock was THE BEST !!!!!
Canada has a lot to be proud of. Some of my favorites are from Canada: Rush, Triumph, April Wine, BTO, Saga...did I miss anyone?....Anvil?
April Wine has a ton of hits
One of my favorite bands. They came through our small town more times than I can count! Always a great show. They do not get the respect they deserve, IMHO.
Check out ...
Hard Rocker > 'Oowatanite' (1975) Used to be my Alarm Clock!
Slow Love Song > 'Tonite Is A Wonderful Time To Fall In Love' (1975)
Fun Rock > 'The Whole World's Goin' Crazy' (1976)
Another great Canadian band I've never seen anyone do is 'Lighthouse'. Kind of our version of 'Chicago' or 'Blood Sweet & Tears'. Choose from...
'Lighthouse - One Fine Morning' (1971)
'Lighthouse - Pretty Lady' (1973)
'Lighthouse - Hats off (To The Stranger)' (1971)
'Lighthouse - Sunny Days' (1972)
All great tunes.
Cheers
What an introduction to April Wine for you. That is their most rockin' and best song IMO. That said, they have a lot of great tunes. Check out their greatest hits album and pick any one and you can't go wrong. Oowatanite was a huge radio hit for them. I Like To Rock is another hot one that has cool dueling Stones/Beatles guitar riffs to lead out of that song. By the way, singer Myles Goodwin had a great voice. R.I.P.
April Wine is criminally underrated. I saw them 2 yrs ago in Maple Ridge, BC. Great party atmosphere. Great time.
They still have it, saw them last week at The Kee to Bala and they blew the roof off
I'm happy you liked it 😂😂 Album Sam no Cd's at the time. lol and yes I will get to Triumph. Saw them twice
It's called dueling guitars. Saw April Wine as an opener, they bring it. Lead guitar twinning and dueling is a lost art, has such a powerful sound. Thin Lizzy used it a lot as well.
This is literally one of the greatest rock songs of all time. I'm not being hyperbolic, either. If you listen to it four or five times and start comparing it to every other guitar-based pop song you ever heard of... Well, it's not enough to call it fun or awesome or whatever. It's actually LEGENDARY.
Before the dawn is a great April Wine song
The first concert Ive saw was April Wine, blew me away!
Saw them in situ when I was a teen -- right here in Nova Scotia. Saw them a few years ago at a venue just down the street from my house. Myles died recently, but his son apparently is taking over. They were world-class but seemed like they were overlooked for some reason. They're getting a lot of play these days.
Awesome!!!
"Weeping Widow" for more rock
"Say Hello" for a cool yet mellow vibe.
April Wine has tons of great songs.
I saw April Wine open for Rush on the Hemispheres tour, everyone goes on , about their guitars, and they were great, but no one says anything about their drummer, don't know his name, but he is absolutely ambidextrous, he's the only drummer I have ever seen that has two high hat cymbals, one on either side of his snare drum, and he used them , I'm a drummer and I have never seen that before, he was truly worthy of opening for Rush and Neal Pearts amazing abilities
Jerry Mercer
"Just between you and me" ballad, "sign of the Gypsy Queen" , "all over town", "I like to rock", "telling me lies", "crash and burn"
Myles just recently passed, R.I.P. Myles, really good radio songs.
Try Coney Hatch, also from Canada
Devil's Deck
Stand Up
I've lost count how many times I'd seen April Wine's live arena rock shows on Vancouver Island - 80's Americans loss was our gain here in the Great White North.
Great reaction on a Fire song
Very underrated band had alot of good songs I like to rock Gypsy Queen Roller can go on forever loved group since Harder Faster
I like say hello from April wine..it's a nice sounding layed back song
What a balls out performance
A Montreal high school favorite in 1970 where they played the local high schools, before they had commercial success. Somewhat overshadowed by a couple of Canadian bands of the time, like Triumph, and especially Bachman Turner Overdrive, with Randy Bachman, he, being a previous founding member of The Guess Who. Canada is a small country, eh.
