I am almost 51 and grew up in the 80s. I'm so overjoyed to know that younger people are rediscovering what REAL music sounded like.
70's 80's here
Yep.
YES, YES, YES!!! Exactly.
Same bro!! I am always overjoyed that this music is reaching a younger generation! Too bad they were born in the wrong era!! Today’s music is criminally bad! Especially country; which, I thought was bad in the 1980’s. However; I was wrong. Today’s Hick-Hop country music is way worse!! I was literally at the hospital today for my mom; and every time I heard the sick lady vomit and spit it up in a bag; she must have been listening to some hick-hop country music😂😂😂😂
Me too bro...50 and counting!
In 1985, Guitar Player magazine awarded Steve Lynch "Guitar Solo of the Year" for his work on "Turn Up the Radio."
I turned 10 in 1980 and 20 in 1990. I feel a DEEP sympathy for all of you that didn't grow up in the 80s. The fun we had is, literally, indescribable in today's terms.....
Truth
I was born in 94 but I'm man how I wish I was born in the 80's, the music at that time was just 🔥🔥🔥, we don't hear music like this now
Same age, such great decade to live in! Girls and women were pretty with nice hair not colored blue, without tattoos and nose rings, so I feel sorry for guys who go to college now. Was gifted a TAMA five piece drum set for my 13th birthday and played in all of the music program, drum corps, jazz band, along with a few garage bands and we performed at the annual high school battle of the bands shows.
The guitarist is using a technique sometimes called finger-tapping or just tapping, and at times it was called a hammer-on, tap-hit, etc.; it just depended on who you ran with. Eddie Van Halen was probably the guitarist who made the technique most widely known (his solo "Eruption" is iconic), although other guitarists before him used it also (Steve Hackett from Genesis is a notable example). By the 80s, many guitarists were using the technique and it was pretty common to see it featured in a lot of rock videos from the era.
I was just gonna say, Eddie is who really was really known for that.
I just started writing an answer to this and I thought I better run through the other comments first. You completely nailed it. No need for me to add more.
They did a reaction to the entire 15 minute version of Eruption and "haven't seen" that before.
Yes!! You are right the great Eddie did didn’t he!
@@RobSquadReactions You guys do alot of Def Leppard. I really hope you guys do a reaction to “Me and My Wine” by them. I promise you guys will love it. Please do that song some time. Steve Clark does the same technique as well in some songs.
Another great one-hit wonder. Now this is 80s glam rock/hair metal at its best! I still crank this song to 11 whenever it comes on! Another fun fact - three of the guys in the band were named Steve. Steve Plunkett was the lead vocalist, Steve Lynch was the awesome guitarist, and Steve Isham played Keyboards. (Randy Rand played bass, and Keni Richards played drums, rounding out the band.)
Because it's one more than ten...
@@ffjsb Yeah, 11 is so cool.
A one hit wonder but what a hit! 💥🔥⚡️✨
@@annablle1874 I like the passion of your comment but I think the video flipped while you were writing it. 🙂
Only “Spinal Tap” can turn it up to 11… haha.
When the guitarist was playing, that is called TAPPING. Eddie Van Halen was the king of tapping. You saw him tapping with both hands in the Eruption video.
While they were opening for Van Halen on the 1984 Tour, VH's management actually told Autograph's guitar player not to do any tapping, because "that's Eddie's thing." Funny thing was, on the underground L.A. circuit, Steve Lynch was already a tapping legend who was mastering an 8-finger tapping technique well before VH ever hit it big. So naturally, he was kind of like, WTF?
One of the most underrated songs of the 80s!! Love it! Thank you so much for listening and reacting!
Hmm, you might enjoy "Everybody Wants You" are real 80s banger by Billy Squier. It's fire from the start.
This was their only big hit, released 1984.
Still being played today.
1984 was a good year !
@@paulwalsh2344 Especially for movies.
Yes especially one of my favorite movies came out in 84 which is Ghostbusters!
@@kirkwells2922 Ghostbusters, Terminator, Karate Kid, Gremlins, NeverEnding Story, Temple of Doom, Beverly Hills Cop, Footloose, This Is Spinal Tap, Romancing the Stone, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Splash, The Natural, Red Dawn, Last Starfighter, Sixteen Candles, Top Secret, Purple Rain, Amadeus, Once Upon a Time in America, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, etc...
@@paulwalsh2344 Arguably the greatest NBA draft of all time: Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Alvin Robertson, Oscar Schmidt, etc...
YES! You finally found one of the best one hit wonders of the 1980's. I went ahead and recently bought Autograph's back catalog of CD's and I absolutely love 'em. They had a great sound with really good rifts. I was surprised just how much I enjoyed their songs.....
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Sign in Please is one of my all time favorite albums wore out the cassette for sure
@@blueeyes1110 My favorite song is "My girlfriend's boyfriend isn't me". What a great song! A close second is what sounds like the sequel is the heart-felt "Changing Hands." Autograph had three albums in the 1980's and all are really, really good.
I guess they meet the definition of one hit by the industry but that album had a few more bangers in Night Teen & Non-Stop as well as My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Isn't Me.
Sorry to correct you but as a guitarist, I must point out the word is RIFFS, not rifts.
@@Mertztillithurts LOL! Of course.
Born is 72, so I grew up on my parents music 70s rock, and then as I got older I had a love of great rock and here came the 80s! Now I’m 51 , still cranking it up loud & still mostly listening to 70s & 80s rock, hair bands, southern rock…, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, & Van Halen we’re always playing in my parents speakers when I was a kid!!
WOW! I forgot all about these guys. I used to love this song!!
Great harmonies! Classic '80's hair band!!
A criminally underrated band. They released 3 great albums in the 80s but for some reason they never got the attention that their peers did. Anybody who digs this song should really check out what else this band has to offer.
Well, unfortunately, this was the best song they ever did and they never did have another great one. "Send Her To Me" from this album was good but not great, and then the title song of *That's The Stuff* was just...meh. I used to think their cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band" was great until I listened to it recently and it's not even close to the original. It's way too glossy and glammed-up. I wanted to love this band too but "Turn Up The Radio" was literally the only great song they ever had.
I love the chorus to this song. It just sounds amazing TURN UP THE RADIO!. this song will make you drive fast with the radio cranked.
I was Stevs Isham's mom and dad's paperboy on Pocatello Idaho in the mid 80s. My dad was his Sunday school teacher in the 70s. He was an incredible keyboardist and an amazing producer. We lost a great gift to music when Stece passed.
The lead singer Steve Plunkett wrote songs for Cindy Lauper, En Vogue, the Go Go's and also sang the theme song for a show called 7th Heaven
That's right! I forgot about 7th Heaven!
I am going on 65 and will have this song played at my funeral! My kids are all grown but remember me cranking the radio up to the great 80"s rock bands!
80’s music was the best. Hands down.
No contest!!
So, I was in the army, ft Benning GA. This band played a 60 at most seat dive bar, that was 87 or 88 and still love them. Bout 3 cassettes at that show
Aww, look at us 80’s kids. 😍 I miss the 80’s so much.
this is one of my all time favorite songs and this was a great reaction, this song hits different when your listening to it on the radio while your at work
Love Autograph, some of my other favorites by them. "Loud And Clear", "She Never Looked That Good For Me", "Send Her To Me", "That's The Stuff", "Blondes In Black Cars", "Six String Fever", and "She's A Tease".
🖤 Send her to me
LOVED Send Her To Me!
I loved the entire "Sign in Please" album. "Nightteen and nonstop" and "Cloud 10" were two of my favorites from that album.
This was a genius song for its time because the theme of the song made every rock station want to play it and use it in its bumpers. Kind of how like you only know The Buggles because they made a song called "Video Killed the Radio Star" at the time MTV launched.
I'm lovin' y'alls journey through all these classics!
I was 15 and cranked this song repeatedly, lol. It's featured in the movie "Hot Tub Time Machine".
When ya get back into the 60s/70s groove, please listen to Blood, Sweat and Tears! “You’ve made me so very happy” You’ll LOVE his voice and the horns! ❤️
I've also requested this song. Love me some David Clayton Thomas and his horn section. 😆 👍✌️🇨🇦
@@Dave-hb7lx Yes. Beautiful song. Saw David Clayton Thomas 10 years ago. He still has that beautiful voice. And When I Die.
Yeah what's the holdup?
First concert I went to. Blood Sweat and Tears were a great band. So many hits. David Clayton Thomas has a fantastic voice and the band is awesome.
God bless the child and spinning wheel are great
Guitar Player magazine awarded Steve Lynch Guitar Solo of the Year for his solo on this song in 1985. In Cincinnati there was a radio station called 96 Rock and they played their own edit of this song. Right after Autograph sang turn up the radio, they would insert a chant of "96 Rock"! To this day I still hear that when this song is played.
You are absolutely correct. As someone that lived it yes, we lived our music.. great comment
I literally almost burned in a house fire while practicing this song on my guitar in 1985. I was in a back room with the amp cranked and I just kept playing the guitar parts over and over again. There was a plumber there doing some work on the house and he caught the place on fire soldering some copper pipe. He was beating on my door he said for a good 5 minutes before I finally heard him house just blazing away lol.
I used to have this one on a mix tape for cruise'n the blvd on my motorcycle back in high school....great song. I had Y&T "Summertime Girls" right next to this song.
I'm looking forward to more reactors getting to Y&T. The song Mean Streak was really my introduction to them. Lipstick and Leather pretty much sums up the wardrobe for many women I saw in my travels in the early to mid-80s.
I was thinking Y&T.
@@mikepaulus4766 Man I was thinking Y&T too !
Y&T Barroom Boogie
Great tune!
I was 17yo when this song came out, it brings me back to a great time for hair bands!!
I know the band. The lead guitar is Steve Lynch. He taps with eight fingers. He put a book out in 1978 about tapping. He also has other videos of playing this way.
Nice banger!! Try George Thorogood and the Destroyer’s “Move it on Over”!!🤘🔥
🤘💜🤘 Sweet Reactions! This was such a great song to cruise to back in '84.
It's called tapping and it was used over the years even before Eddie Van Halen made it mainstream. I loved this song as a kid. The local Milwaukee rock station interjected "93 QFM" in the chorus for the song. Pretty funny.
Alot of songs in the 80s weren't just songs but they were anthems and liked you said, they were a way of life, love loud and proud
Oh man! This was a one hit wonder! I vaguely remember this song and the band name. I don't recall listening too much of this song in the classic radio stations when we had stations like that here in LA. I don't know if they ever came out with anything more than this song, we haven't heard from this group since the early 80s! it was a pleasant surprise to hear it again after so many years though! Enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕👍👏
While it is true this song is their biggest hit, it's not a one hit wonder. They've had a few albums with good songs. They actually came out with a new album in 2017. Blondes in Black cars was another I liked.
@@imthewolf1even if they had other good songs on their other albums none were hits or charted though, this was there only one, therefore definition of one hit wonder.
Eddie VH did a lot of that - it's 'hammer' technique. The fingers hit the strings instead of strumming side-side (with or w/o picks)
I've heard it called tapping too😎
Basically you're tapping by combining hammer-ons and pull-offs.
They tell us to "Turn it up" at the beginning. We were just obeying. 😄🤘
Blew out so many speakers cranking this up...never get loud enough
MUST HEAR Classics,, Ringo Starr "It Don't Come Easy" & "Photograph"
There were thousands of bands from this era and style that just never made it big but were as good as a lot of the stuff around at the time. I highly recommend you check out a band called Danger Danger, try the song 'Bang Bang' as it has a video with it. Another really fun band. The whole album is superb - as is their CD catalogue but never really made it big. There is a new band just started up in the past 6 years called The Defiants and are made up of most of the Danger Danger band (check out the song 'U X'd My Heart' as it has a video with it or 'Waiting on a Heartbreak'. Unfortunately that is only audio.) - and still play good old 80's style party rock. I love them to death!
Thanks for the heads up, checking out The Defiants album now on YT.
@@NaturalMystic69 They have 2 albums out with a third due late this year or early next year. They are brilliant!
I think they would enjoy “Naughty Naughty” more.
This is me and my best friends cruising song! When we were a LOT younger we use to go mudding on the backroads with many trucks involved and this was the anthem of those nights! Now when either of us get a new to us ride we have to fill the tank and cruise the backroads listening to Autograph.
I wish rock would go back and really play from passion and heart like this, I can't relate any other band or song that can be so uplifting and inspiring. Definitely my #1song in my playlists.
My husband Randy Rand would have loved to have seen this!!!!! He loves these things! Thank you for sharing !
RIP to Randy.
Since your in the 80s, YOU MUST! check out Level 42. Something about you!! Mark King lead singer, and one of the best bass player out there.
......since YOU'RE in the 80's......illiterate idiot......
The irony of this song is it was praising the joy of listening to the adio as the Music Video was on the rise threatenbing to end radio's reign
Being born in 66 made it where you got to grow up with the best music ever. 70, 80 and mid 90 music was the best there was!!!!!!!!!
An all 80s kind of night!! Great decade for music. How about Zebra, Tell Me What You Want. Would also love a reaction to April Wine, Sign of the Gypsy Queen. Both are rock bands, the latter Canadian and the former American. Thanks for your great reactions and giving your viewers what they want.
This Absolute Classic HITS LIKE A BRICK!!,,
The Ides Of March "Vehicle"
Yes Yes Yes. Fantastic flash back. 👍✌️🇨🇦
@@marybaillie8907 Thanks..My Next Suggestion Will Be An Often Forgotten Classic,, Stealers Wheel "Star"
Had to look "Star" up. Great tune. Of course everyone knows "Stuck in the Middle with You"
The Ides of March remind me of Blood Sweat and Tears. So hornsy.
@@marybaillie8907 True Dat.
The summer that I turned 19 this song was all over the radio, it was inescapable.
*This was the FIRST Video Played on MTV! I've Always Loved this Song it Brings back So many Great Memories! I miss how life was back then.*
I remember buying this album when it came out. They sounded a lot like Def Lepperd.
MTV provided an easy access to seeing bands and the competition was fierce.
Got this song confused for the longest time thinking it was by Def Lep:)
One of my fave bands, love this one too, knew you'd love this glad you do. Other great songs of theirs are
Send Her To Me
All I'm Gonna Take
Take No Prisoners
She Never Looked That Good For Me.👌
Another great band I think you'll like is Fastway with Trick Or Treat, awesome. 🎸👌😎
I love that song. They could also do a reaction to the movie.
@@jamescarswell3470 Exactly, both awesome.😎👌
@@emmahowells8334 yes they are. You can't beat those cheesy B grade 80's horror movies. They are so good.
Fastway is another great band that never got the attention they deserved. I absolutely loved the Trick or Treat movie and soundtrack.
@@jamescarswell3470 Absolutely, you can't beat them. 👌
A lot of these bands were never on the radio in certaim areas. I never heard of them either and yet they are great. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. There are a lot of bands in that era.
I am 52 and I was lucky enough to see Autograph live when they opened for Motley Crue when I was 14. The 80's was the best decade for music of all genres, it was easier to go to concerts then as tickets were only $15. Music was an escape for us, and I thank God up above the real music created by real musicians, singers and songwriters unlike todays music.
This came out my freshman year in college. I was getting into more alternative music and I was so tried of the 80’s hair bands but this was the one exception. Great song
Love your reactions to 80’s bands. Try out Asia: Only Time Will Tell & Heat of the Moment!
I just have to say when Amber said, "You have to turn up your radio." Made me think back to when I was a pre-teen and young teen. I was finally old enough for my parents to leave me at home by myself. As soon as they were gone I would wheel my dad's PA system into my bedroom and hook my stereo up to it. It was so loud I thought I would rock the house off of its foundation lol 😂😂😂😂
Been awhile since I heard this song, excellent choice. For more great rock from that era try Attack of the Mad Axe Man by MSG, Michael Schenker is a beast on lead guitar. Enjoy! 🎸
Great react
Please react to Rush "Roll the Bones"
The amazing lyrics by Neil Peart (rip) and the rap section in the middle
Met these guys in 1984 , great guys…… RIP STEVE , RANDY AND KEN .❤️. Great band in concert
Steve's still here. I shared this with Randy's wife and he commented under that one. I told him that Amber and jay would really get a kick out of seeing him comment here as well as my friend Reginia Rand.
I was blown away when I saw them at KEMPER ARENA, in 1984. A good British nand. Rock on! Kemper is at Kansas City.
You _need_ to get to "The Lumberjack" by *Jackyl* at some point guys... I swear, that one is going to BLOW you guys right off your seats (of course, I won't say why)! 🤘😝
Still would love too see you react to the studio version of Blackfoot’s Train, Train I know Jay and Amber you will love it and can’t wait to see it.
Hint...Harmonica..
YES!! 👍😃❣️
@shirley buffington I saw Blackfoot back in the late 70's. Def Leppard opened for them. They had only released 1 album...On Through The Night and Rick Allen had both arms
@@MaRoach7 wow I bet you loved that I know I would have loved to have seen it
My friends and I won the Air Band contest at the most popular bar in our area back in 85 with this song. So many fun times back then!
Fun fact, this being the band's first album (and music video) they didn't have a lot of money. So their manager came up with this brilliant idea of making a sponsorship deal for the video. The sponsor ended up being... you guessed it, Papermate! It might sound strange first but those pencils were hot in the 80's and it also went kinda well with their album's name "Sign In Please". Sponsors in music videos were pretty unheard of at that time. Also, the lead guitarist Steve Lynch won the "guitar solo of the year" award from Guitar Player magazine. I love this song and there's only one way to play it: LOUD.
"Oh my goodness!" If you liked that solo, check out Eric Johnson, "Cliffs of Dover," live. I'm betting he makes your favorite guitarist list.
This was such a great song. Another I loved was “get it on” by kingdom come. If you haven’t already, check it out…
One of the best debut albums of all time.
FYI: the Papermate pen is seen at the beginning of the video since Papermate provided funding for it if they showed the pencil in the video.
This is a GREAT ROAD trip song...
That song brings back memories, it played at a club I’ve bartended at in Houston.. The reason a lot of people haven’t heard of them is because they were sort of a one hit wonder. There are some other good songs they put out but they never really took off. There’s a similar band I would love for you guys to review named Kings X, they are a three piece out of the Houston area and think you guys would really enjoy them. Could start with the song King or Summerland or dog man… Can’t go wrong
King's X really needs more attention paid to them. They're just one of those bands that are beloved by musicians but have been denied more commercial success.
@@Paulzuzu You’re absolutely right and lots of people have said that over the years. Wasn’t meaning to compare them to autograph, just that they were another band out of that time that put out great music that stands the test of time.
King's X is great!
This is one of my favorite songs. Don't know why Autograph didn't have more hits, this whole album was great.
All their albums were great
Such a a great bopping, grooving great beat, great guitar, great drum, great singing, one you definitely can’t sit still too!! I remember when this one came out, definitely one of the great 80’s songs!!🔥🔥🔥
RATT has a bunch of hits like Back for more , You're in Love , Lay it Down , Wanted Man , Body Talk
I will admit that I do like Way Cool Jr.
Another great one hit wonder from around this time was "Sausalito Summer Night" by Diesel. If you want to hear an absolute BANGER try Tora Tora's song "Amnesia"
They’d dig some Tora Tora
@@jimmymac4559 For sure! The whole "Wild America" album is great.
Oh my gosh guys! Finally, you have done this LONG request of mine. Holy Cow! Thank you! This song is a ball of FIRE! Request: Winger--Headin' For A Heartbreak. Movie Request: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). Btw, I use the Papermate Sharpwriter pencil that's featured in this video lol.
I remember in highschool a member of the "heavy metal" clique came up to me to find out what kind of music I liked. I thought of this song and told him about it. He had never heard it yet. Next day he comes back to me and said "hey that was pretty good."
When we have hearing tests at work, the question is usually asked if you listen to load music, my answer is always, child of the 80's, Autograph told us to Turn Up the Radio.
Please, please, react to "Helloween: I want Out." They are a European band that was taught to sing English phonetically. And the band (and this song in particular) is just fun to watch. P.S., I just discovered you tonight, from watching various people react to Pink Floyd songs.
Brothers Johnson…..Strawberry Letter #23 & I’ll be Good To You
Don't forget Stomp..
I love how this song is used in the movie Hot Tub Time Machine. Perfect 80's anthem!
Always liked the line “Things go better with rock “
you've never heard of them because they're a one hit wonder. that said, their one hit is a good one
Hey there Jay and Amber! 👋🏾 I love your channel! ❤️ I wish you would react to "Brother To Brother" by Canadian singer/musician Gino Vannelli. The album version of the same title. His voice and musical arrangements are phenomenal! You don't know what you're missing! 😲 I promise you won't be disappointed! 👍🏾
The Rockets "Oh Well"....Classic 70's
One of the most 80s statements you'll ever read -- I used to put this song on the jukebox at the arcade.
It was Paul McCartney’s 80th birthday today.
Y’all should have had the entire day devoted to him tbh. (Beatles, Wings, solo work) There is no more influential artist of our time. He will go down in history with the likes of Beethoven, Bach, Motzart…etc
- 24 #1 Songs
- 98 Weeks at #1 on the Billboard Charts
- “Yesterday” is the most covered song in recorded history with 2,000+ versions
This solo won Steve Lynch (Guitarist) solo of the year in Guitar Player magazine, a magazine I used to subscribe to as a kid.
Don't know what you're geting all excited about? This was the 80's, baby! We loved it and loved it.
That was cool guys
I turned up the radio (not full volume) my roommates were listening to what I was playing a block away over the music in the pizza joint. ROCK ON. I'm 64 and still crank it up.
The lead guitarist here - Steve Lynch, I think - literally wrote a book on the two-handed tapping technique you see and hear in the solo. The book was published in late 1977, a few months before the first Van Halen album came out. I should point out, though, that Eddie VH had been working that technique out for 5 years at least at that point.
We really did live such a more relaxed life when it came to So many things. I was so lucky to have grown up in the 70's, especially the high school years, 74-78. I wish we could go back and take y'all with us. ❤️
This is a perfect summer cruising song windows down and volume all the way up and no Fs given !!!
This was and is a killer tune.😆😁😁 It got slot of airplay. Dang good choice!! 👍👍
Steve Lynch a ferocious technical guitarist that was ahead of his time. A graduate from GIT (Guitar Institute of Technology) in 1979, blew them away at graduation with his two-handed tapping style. When Autograph was forming a demo was given to David Lee Roth and he invited them to open for Van Halen in 1984. There was some concern from the VH camp about Steve doing his tapping but Eddie set them straight and he played his style. Its a shame they didnt get off the ground but I believe there was some turnover of staff in their record label RCA that stunted their development. What a shame. Keep the reactions coming, the 80s is a huge rabbit hole of some good stuff!!
80’s rock is why I started listening to the blues and folk.
Back in the 1980's we had a sunset strip and it was the time of my life. I had a 1986 Chevy Step side that I put $100,000 into becoming a show truck named Strickly Street. This song use to play on a $12,000 stereo in that truck. The best times of my life.
Steven Lynch (the guitarist) was one of my repeat customers when I worked for an airport parking lot? He's a nice guy.
