  • Who and where did My Sharona come from? This three part documentary of My Sharona's derivative and Knack history gives us more than enough insight to digest. Check out the "real" Sharona and where she is today. Legendary rare footage of the late Bruce Gary, Knack's drummer, is a must see! We love you Bruce!!

    One of the best guitar solos in rock history! Radio stations should never cut it short but they always do. Grrrr!

      The solo is great, but even better is the way the drums build behind it. Phenomenal track

    One of the best riffs (drums, bass, rhythm and lead) I've ever heard. It's one of those riffs that I can't get enough of.

    “The fun times were before we made it. Once we made it, it became a drag”. - the late Bruce Gary 🥁
    As a fan, I say what a shame. Regardless, the Knack is still one of my favorite bands of all time.

    One of the best guitar solos ever recorded. Too bad there wasn't a follow-up. Also, Bruce Gary was one of a kind. I set up my own drums to mimic his kit because he had everything separated and the kick drum was off to his right and not centered.

    at the end of this clip, Bruce Gary is describing Doug Fieger's ego trip that helped destroy the group. He was the only one who wouldn't return to the group when they re formed simply because he couldn't work with Fieger. Now they're both gone. Hope they make up in the afterlife. Two incredible talents!

    Reminded me of the early Beatles dressed in black and white, but then with a great newer rock n roll song.
    That guitar solo is just awesome.

    I was in Ohio which is a great Classic Rock Radio State and My Sharona came on, after the guitar solo finished I realized that the guitar solo is one of the best in Rock and Roll, sadly under rated as one of the greatest solos on earth.

    "Get The Knack" was most likely recorded at the Record Plant. Same place Tom Petty and a slew of other artists recorded. Chapman produced Blondie's "Lines" at the Plant.

    Great rock tune, but I don't see the connection with New Wave, at least not as it is defined in Europe. To me, it was 80 % rock, the other 20% closer to American punk, think Ramones, Blondie etc than New Wave. Having said that, whatever the right label is, this song rocks, and it was something very different than heard before. It definetely deserved its n° 1 status. Recently discovered with a serious delay the Serioud Fun albuw, wow, that one too is quite cool, surprised to see it didn't do that well (judging from the number of thumbs up here on TH-cam) I guess all the teenage girls from the My Sharona era were married by that time, and rather concentrating on the adventurous behaviour of their toddlers than on the band's new release....

    What’s interesting is to compare the success these guys and My Sharona to any number of giant hits by the Beatles.
