Folks on the East Coast, Greg Hawkes gets together occasionally with a band called Eddie Japan from Boston and they do full Cars shows that are spectacular. Close your eyes and sub in Ben or Ric in your mind and you’re right back in the late 70’s / early 80’s again. Also adding that it’s awesome that David has his Boston accent still. Always loved that.
With Ric's recent passing it's been a Cars marathon at our house - music, videos, interviews, live performances. Ben and Ric now re-united in Rock and Roll Heaven. R.I.P.
Started listening to the cars today and I didn’t realize how many of the songs I knew and how much I liked the band and Ben Orr’s great great voice. Wish I heard more of him.
Aren't you lucky we have youtube! Go down the rabbit hole and listen to sooooo many good songs! Make sure to check out some of Ben's songs that weren't released also! I started out as a Cars fan in 1978 but spent Covid exploring all the old and new songs!
Agree 100%. I have played drums in a few pops over the years, and I was always looking for that unique signature sound. I mean, The Cars, Rush, Queen etc., all very distinct sounding.Hard to achieve though.
@@tubester4567 what is new wave? Its whT the media guys to put a label on a sound from a location example Seattle grunge Motown Detroit LA Hair bands, stickers are labels man , not artists
YeeeeeeR BUD!!🤘 ICONIC for me and my local cohort, I recall always racing others to the VOLUME KNOB^ WHEN THE CARS CAME ON WYNF 95.5fm, 97.9 NINETY EIGHT ROCKor Q105 Blondie, Talking Heads, The Police🎸
I know they have that New Wave label, but to me, they had much better than average songwriting, and a perfect balance between keys and strings. Perfect pop music with that rougher edge Ric’s writing brought. Ben’s voice was just insane. Such a great tone.
Holy shit, what a bunch of humble guys. YOU ALL were great. Trending , original, memorable song writers, performers , Talented , trend setters and for myself, memory makers !!!!!!! Sorry Ben left so soon !
I love hearing new stuff from these creative, talented men. And I love that Benjamin's voice is playing in the background... so poignant and fitting. Thank you!
My first album was 1979 when I was 15 and it was Candido. I grew up in NYC and I loved the Cars. In 1983 I was a soldier in Oklahoma but I had a Walkman and tapes. I remember listening to them (clandestinely) in my foxhole and dudes from the South saying “Yo man that’s crazy what is that ?” Well it’s 2022 now and I’m still listening. Much love to everyone.
Benjamin Orr e Rick Ocasek estão vivos na minha realidade paralela que tal usarmos a imaginação?.Benjamin Orr and Rick Ocasek are alive in my parallel reality.Benjamin Orr and Rick Ocasek are alive in my parallel reality how about we use our imagination?.
Thank you a millions time over. Great to see the guys again. Miss them so much. Still listening to their songs today, and will do so for many more. Thanks again.
This is my all time favorite band. I love to have Ben Orr's voice and these guys are great, precision players as well. Hawkes mention of DEVO as a contemporary is to be highly commended. God Bless them all. I would add Cheap Trick also. M. Price - Class of ''89 Bowling Green.
Elliot Easton is such a great guitarist, he can pull off a multitude of styles and when playing live he's note for note to the recorded material, his solos fit the material and are very musical. There's lots of other 'flashier' guitarists of the 70's and 80's who get a lot of focus but can't pul off the precise style Elliot has.
Greg Hawkes Rocks, he was way ahead of his time a true talent.... You won't see anyone like Mr Hawkes playing and piecing together the keyboard parts . In my opinion he is the cars.... Overall what a fucking great band ... RIP Ben . Your not forgotten .....
Completely agree. EE is a fantastic guitar player, Ben is a cool vocalist, and Ric wrote the superb song, but Greg was the one that really defined the flavor, and many times played the "hook".
Greg Hawks was their secret weapon. A musical genius. All members were awesome and Elliott Easton is a guitar master. They all brought something unique to the band. But Greg's synthesizer creations took everything to the max and it was perfect timing because it was a huge part of what was happening in American pop culture.
I had the time of my life at the Cars concert at Poplar Creek. Cruiser by The Cars and Double Agent by Rush were the two best live songs that I ever experienced. Great times!
Their first album was my first record, given to me by my father by my request for my birthday that year. I think it was the only thing I asked for. Well, that and drums and a basketball hoop and a tuxedo and... But anyway, incredible band. Masters of the 3-minute pop tune. Poetic lyrics. Fully deserving of the Rock HOF. Definitely helped to shape my life and broaden my music and world view. Great and unique musicians and artists, all. 🙏
Every member gave a special contribution they were amazing together.sad that they split for me personally ben was the shining star of the group he certainly shone very bright
I saw them in 78 and a group of girls were in front of us smoking a joint and one of the girls passed it to me, how can you say no? Never smoked anything in my life. Thanks Cars for all the good memories, I think. Lol
Many will call them New Wave, but in reality they were more of a unique band in thier own way. Yes it screams 80's , but that decade and the 70's leading up to it, defined a generation like no other. It's was like perfect drug store sort of speak. It was like," tell me what your addiction is and I have it and if it doesn't exist, I'll make it", kinda thing. From Hard Rock to traditional 60's and 70's, to The New Wave tsunami that was about to flood the stations for ten + solid years, was on the rise. And the stud surfer riding that wave was none other than The Cars. The band had that one thing a few ever bands have, a unique incredible sound and they certainly made it clear, they we're here to stay, and they were ready to pave their own road to success in the history of Rock N Roll. It's like "The Godfather of New Age Rock" ,said. Ooh look out you rocknrollers, time may change me ,but I can't change time"(David Bowie). The Cars , an incredible amazing band who made it to the top on their own terms.😎👍
That's what I love about these old rockstar's/ musicians!!! I like to hear the old stories or origins or what was it like going out on the road touring and making records!!! That fascinates me!!!!☺☺☺☺😊😊😊☺😃😁😄
It's almost like yesterday when I hear certain songs by The Cars being played again. And it's still a bit surreal that both Ben and Ric are gone. Check out the solo albums of each band member if you haven't already, they are all very talented.
I've always loved the Cars!..I remember staying up late to listen to Midnight Album Release of "Panorama!"...I'll love them always!!!...the keyboard player just saying...the were like Van Halen...and Devo to me is Right!!…they had a unique sound I'll Love forever!!
They we're All very talented and Wonderful guys,and there music will always be listened to in many years to come,its 2019 and I still love there Songs.
Greg Hawkes pretty much nailed it. When the Cars came out, Boston, Heart and VanHalen were all being noticed as well. Music was changing , bands like Devo and Missing Persons were getting noticed. Was a great time to be in high school.
The fact that there isn’t a full documentary on these amazing pioneers of new wave offends me deeply Edit: ok you guys in my replies must be way older than me, when I said “deeply offends me” I was joking...it’s a joke. Sarcasm, people like me say stuff like this all the time. Yeah these guys deserve a well made documentary like Tom Petty and The Eagles got, but for god sake I was J O K I N G
Sydney O'Bier So do one. Who are you to be offended over that? As you go thru life you'll find being offended is a selfish and time wasting affair. Ben Orr was great but he would be 73 this year. How would you want to remember him. He died at 53. Not young.
Incredible ensemble!! One of my favorite memories 😎😎😎 Unreal that I was in the middle to end of my career and missed the release of Move Like This😮 To my joy at 53, I got to listen to new to me Cars album this evening!!!!!😎😎😎 Wow can't fathom how that got by me, too many hours buried behind a console😂😂😂 Anyways a great final album! Tho, it would have just a been little cooler had Ben been there😎😎😎 Now to listen to it again😎😎😎
Love this...I'm reminded of Steely Dan and Pablo Cruise from some of their early bands....lots of greatest rolled all up throughout the years....but still ....their own unique sound. ..love them forever.
LOVE that shirt Greg! LOVE The Cars. 💋 Good luck with your nomination to the RRHoF 2018. Cant wait to see what will be released for your 40th Anniversary.
The Cars smoothly integrated what was modern musically at the time with good old fashioned rock and roll from the 50s and 60s. They added clever lyrics and musical layers that were both simple and complicated. But they never lost the magic that fast cars and pretty girls bring to the table. They weren’t trying to be political (gag me anymore). They were simply trying to be fun for fun’s sake. Remember fun?
This is the best band for this kind of sounds! The Cars is so very UNIQUE! The whole band know how to play their Instrument! I love the Cars music! Man I miss the 80s sounds so bad ass!I wish I can go back in time to the 80s!
I always thought Ric and Ben met in Cleveland and move the Boston together and started some bands I think he's trying to separate the fact that it was him and Ben started Richard Nd the Rabbits, Ocassic and Orr so it was joint effort for a band search but seems like hes talking all the credit for just himself Cars are my favorite band sicnce I discovered Guns N Roses, every single one of them is genius its not just one mans pursuite to find the right group of guys I mean everyone helps write all those songs maybe 100% lyrically , but musically everyone did their own Parts Elliott did his in a day and a half on the first self titled record was released the blizzard of 78 Feb , they're such a collective sound its obviously a joint effort Im a cars encyclopedia
1975 I was in eighth grade. After basketball game there was a sock hop. ( NO street shoes on the gym floor) Dancing to Just what I needed. First kiss. First time getting to second base. You fully don't understand what you did for ALOT of people. Miss and love you Rick and Ben ●
I refer you to orrben's reply above - that's the story I"m sticking with because I love the idea of Greg strolling into The GAP and buying his own band shirt… on sale.
You know what? I like that story too. Imagine working at The Gap on a dull Wednesday afternoon, dreading for your shift to be over, and then lo and behold Greg Hawkes walks in and asks if you have any of these in medium.
Yeah, would be great having the wonderful Greg walk into your shop. When I worked in a store in the late 1980s, Roy Wood would come in every week and I would always have a good chinwag with him!
Hi.. Your song “drive” is in a film i made up called “my hurting grass” and it’s based on a game i made up by the same name. My hurting grass is about a woman who lived in suburbs of London but was American. Her name was “Celina” she had black hair and dark blue eyes. She was 18 years old. And she lived in a house that was several years older than her with her roommate Clara. My hurting grass the game is similar to league of legends, but it’s more modern looking. The reason why my hurting grass is called my hurting grass is because it deals with serious issues like mistreatment, murder, abuse, etc. that is the grass. The “my hurting” is the feeling she has when people ignore her. I’m just a kid, alright? I’m not always childish.
The song Heartbeat City from their 1984 album of the same name never gets out of your head. Oh heartbeat city here we come on happy days we count on thumbs, and nothing really gets us down as long as jackys back in town. Amazing song.
I miss The Cars. No bands like this anymore. Original, Unique, Full Musicianship & Groundbreaking.
I saw these great men in 1984, New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut. Wang Chung Dance Hall Days opened up for them. They were in their prime.
Hearing Ric sing Ben's praises is so sweet.
Folks on the East Coast, Greg Hawkes gets together occasionally with a band called Eddie Japan from Boston and they do full Cars shows that are spectacular. Close your eyes and sub in Ben or Ric in your mind and you’re right back in the late 70’s / early 80’s again. Also adding that it’s awesome that David has his Boston accent still. Always loved that.
Ric and Ben were like Batman and Robin, unique, dynamic, wonderful.
The Cars will never die!!!
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Stories like this make me believe certain people are meant to arrive at a certain place, in a certain time and together achieve greatness.
Destiny
6 degrees of separation 👌
Ric wrote absolutely incredible songs.
💯
With Ric's recent passing it's been a Cars marathon at our house - music, videos, interviews, live performances. Ben and Ric now re-united in Rock and Roll Heaven. R.I.P.
RIP Ric and Benjamin.
I heard Moving in Stereo on WAAB in Worcester in June or July of ‘78. I went to Ware to a record shop and bought the LP. I’m still listening.
Started listening to the cars today and I didn’t realize how many of the songs I knew and how much I liked the band and Ben Orr’s great great voice. Wish I heard more of him.
Check out his solo album " The Lace"...Very good album
Aren't you lucky we have youtube! Go down the rabbit hole and listen to sooooo many good songs! Make sure to check out some of Ben's songs that weren't released also! I started out as a Cars fan in 1978 but spent Covid exploring all the old and new songs!
Ric said I sing,but the great songs Ben sang or🎉 something along this way...I did not know Ben sang, until I heard all mixed up omg love them all😊
Yes, He brought the songs Rik wrote to life. Rik basically wrote all the tunes. He wrote Drive but knew knew Ben had to sing it. Smart.
The thing about the Cars was their sound was unique. The second you heard them on the radio you knew it was them.
Agree 100%. I have played drums in a few pops over the years, and I was always looking for that unique signature sound. I mean, The Cars, Rush, Queen etc., all very distinct sounding.Hard to achieve though.
I totally agree. Not too many bands really stand out to me (Like, to the point where I'd want to buy any of their albums.), but The Cars do. :)
Agreed. Once their songs come on, the sound hits you like a truck.
@@MultiSkyman1 Cheap Trick and The Black Crowes (early ‘90’s) also had killer drummers.
The Cars are one of the best New Wave bands ever. Great music.
This band is so under-rated
@@tubester4567 what is new wave? Its whT the media guys to put a label on a sound from a location example Seattle grunge Motown Detroit LA Hair bands, stickers are labels man , not artists
I kind of considered them a bit punk, but new wave. Heck they created New Wave as far as I am concerned
YeeeeeeR BUD!!🤘 ICONIC for me and my local cohort, I recall always racing others to the VOLUME KNOB^ WHEN THE CARS CAME ON WYNF 95.5fm, 97.9 NINETY EIGHT ROCKor Q105 Blondie, Talking Heads, The Police🎸

I got into them around the same time as Cheap Trick, B-52's, the Knack...a couple others. Been on a listening binge of that era....good times !
Great time for music
RIP Ben. Wish we could have heard your take on the band.

This group..the soundtrack to my high school years when new wave came out. Still love it.
I wish this video clip kept going. Fascinating
Thank you a millions time over. Great to see the guys again. Miss them so much. Still listening to their songs today, and will do so for many more. Thanks again.

My all-time favourite band also. So glad Ben left the legacy of his son, Ben, jr.
Mark, you rock!
Love Greg Hawkes, He is/was so ahead of his time. I always felt like he set The Cars so far apart from other bands at the time. Brilliant musician.
Rest in Peace, Ric Ocasek 😇💖

We had the wonderful experience with Greg who produced a four song demo for our band. It was an amazing time and Greg is so humble. A real gentleman.
Thank you SO much for the new interview material!
1:41 You can tell I'm a young fan because I'm picturing Ric and David texting each other even though I know you couldn't text back then.
Ah bless! 🤩
RIP Ric Ocasek. We love you.
All of the bands Greg mentions are also among my favorites.

Omg the first two albums were new wave. After that they were more rock pop sounding. The first two albums were fresh sounds After dismal disco

They are the best Rock group ever,I pray they get into the Hall of Fame this year.Vote People
Great video. ❤
And what a fantastic "stew" that was for sure ! I could eat 4 extra dishes !
Rest on peace rick !!!

Benjamin.
RIP RicOcasek
1:43 just epic insight for us hardcore fans - so cool!
I never knew Ric didn't sing full time and always liked them. All the 80s videos were cool with the effects but it was always Ocasek singing.
Kurt Cobain said the Cars, B-52’s, Devo, and Blondie were three of his favorite bands.
Ric RIP Ben RIP
I wonder where did Greg got his T-shirt? I can never seem to find any good CARS memorabilia...
He probably got it from BEING IN THE CARS. :D

Hi..
Your song “drive” is in a film i made up called “my hurting grass” and it’s based on a game i made up by the same name.
My hurting grass is about a woman who lived in suburbs of London but was American. Her name was “Celina” she had black hair and dark blue eyes. She was 18 years old. And she lived in a house that was several years older than her with her roommate Clara.
My hurting grass the game is similar to league of legends, but it’s more modern looking.
The reason why my hurting grass is called my hurting grass is because it deals with serious issues like mistreatment, murder, abuse, etc. that is the grass. The “my hurting” is the feeling she has when people ignore her.
I’m just a kid, alright? I’m not always childish.
The song Heartbeat City from their 1984 album of the same name never gets out of your head. Oh heartbeat city here we come on happy days we count on thumbs, and nothing really gets us down as long as jackys back in town. Amazing song.
Oh, Jackie...what took you so long?
