Just such an amazing rock singer. Darby Mills is up there and above the best of them.
The early 80s was the best time to be Canadian. The music was totally AWWWWWWWWWSOME.
Nope. Late 60s to mid-late 70s. The Guess Who, Gordon Lightfoot, Steppenwolf, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chilliwack, Stampeders, Lighthouse, BTO, Trooper, April Wine, Prism, Nick Gilder/Sweeney Todd, Streetheart, Max Webster, Rush, etc
Agree!
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Wrong. The early 80s were actually better. Besides, you're cheating. They said early 80s, giving only half a decade, but you compared that to a full decade, late 60s to late 70s. Anyway, even with your cheating, you're still wrong. Here's why: The Payola$. I could just stop there, but there's even more: Loverboy, Platinum Blonde, Skinny Puppy, Images in Vogue, Toronto, Bryan Adams, Rush, Chilliwack, Parachute Club, Tom Cochrane, The Box, Men Without Hats, Streetheart, The Northern Pikes, Strange Advance, Kim Mitchell, The Spoons, Gino Vanelli, Leonard Cohen, Doug and the Slugs, Pursuit of Happiness, 54-40, Glass Tiger, Rough Trade, Gowan, Martha and the Muffins, Triumph, Aldo Nova, Saga, Helix, Teenage Head, Strange Advance, Chalk Circle, Grapes of Wrath, Mitsou, Jane Siberry, ... And don't even start me with the late 80s, or the 90s, the pinnacle decade of Canadian rock music.
@@alukuhitoSome of your 80s bands got their start in the 70s, regardless the Canadian music scene used to be phenomenal.
No kidding.@@richardthompson6366
The woman/the voice...gives me goosebumps at how damn good she is.
Amazing voice. One of the greats. Many people that "make it" today don't know what "pounding the pavement" really means...... back then, you worked hard.
Nobody could touch Darby then or now she's just one of those amazing singers like Glen Hughes that will never fade. TURN IT LOUD!!!!
Pat Benatar would smoke her without breaking a sweat.
McLeod's unique, iconic electric guitar sound is unmistakable!
Darby is a totally cool lady, even sent me a personal birthday greeting this year! Gotta love friends like that!
RIP Too Loud McLeod. Darby is absolutely kicking ass on this one!!!
I was a teen in the 80s. So much pride in what was happening musically in my own city, Vancouver, and the rest of Canada.
Darby is a national Canadian treasure. Her voice is just unbelievable!
this group and singer ,had a big part of my youth the best of times!!!!
Canadian rock.. Triumph, Helix, Rush, Headpins... all Awesome 😎 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍺 Cheers
Your not kidding me too .I haven stop listening to all there albums to this day. Love you Darby
That Whitesnake lineup for the "Slide It In" tour was incredible and I would have been ontop of the world to meet them guys. Darby still has pretty toes. lol
My first concert the headpins in Sudbury arena, totally hypnotized by the music and the outfits.
@Nature and Physics North Bay rocks went to Canadore back in the day.
@Nature and Physics saw them in the summer with the band Toronto, miss Greco's pizza.
I loved the Headpins
Brian M a giant talent... gone too soon and truly nice guy Thanks Darby and 97.3 even though the sadness takes over Peace
I ran away at 16,my girlfriend at the time loved the headpins,I never heard of them,it became the soundtrack of our lives in 83'. Love,sex,danger and a whole bunch of partying!
A personal acquaintance and the band he was in, Iron Halo, opened for the Headpins at a bar in Dartmouth, NS a number of years back.
Can you do this about 100 more times with Darby?? LOVE the stories....and of course her voice!!!
Seen them open for KISS in the early 80's at the Gardens
What a fantastic Canadian rock band. Still love listening to Too Loud’s crunchy tone. My all time favourite Headpins song is People.
Awesome Canadian teenager memories with this band.
Her singing voice almost sounds like a much higher pitch of Geddy Lee. I remember coming across headpins on my free Spotify account while listening to Canadian aor and Hardrock and I remember categorizing my playlists, and I strictly put all the Canadian music, even if it's Bachman-Turner Overdrive Gordon Lightfoot, streetheart, or harlequin on a playlist called Rock From The Great White North implying of course, music from Canada. After I've heard Harlequin sweet things in life, the next song was. Don't It make you feel like by Headpins. I was taken back by the bass riff composition as well as Darby's voice. I like the fact that I find bands I've never heard of thanks to Spotify and TH-cam.
i loved you in Moncton New Brunswick!
i was 17 at the time ..53 now !
Done? Dang, I was rivited. Need a part 2 to this one.
One of my favourite albums...... Headpins......My favourite solo of all times....in People. RIP Too loud!
Me too, a complete musical interlude with Brian, Ab and Bernie keeping it tight. Great song to play while driving a short autocross course.
She up there with Ronny James Dio when it comes to belting it out over heavy guitars. Underrated powerful voice! Nobody else like her.
dio was a poser too
I bought this LP in a record store in Boise back in 1982 when it was released not knowing who they were. I put it on and was blown away! Still one of my favorite albums to spin as it just rocks!
The Headpins were a great underrated rock band. Darby Mills is a phenomenal vocalist, while Brian McLeod was a great musician and producer. He had an ear for Music. But Darby was a powerful singer, her voice was made for hard rock. Thanks for sharing the story of "Don't It Make Ya Fell", Darby
Darby, I still have my Turn It Loud and Line of Fire. I still play em. They are both mint. Picked up a Marantz computer linear tracking turntable while stationed in Germany and brought it home. I don't need to buy repressing's of all the great albums. A few of us kept em all from the 70's and 80's in mint shape ! One of the very best hard rock bands Canada offer up. Thank you for the music and memories Darby. Your still a babe! Cheers from Utah.
Darby will go down as one of the Canadian top 10 vocalists of all time.
So underrated!
I'm crazy for Darby Mills and Chrissy Steele. I love the Headpins.
I remember the first time I heard the headpins I was down in tuscon arizona to visit it my brother, and it was a cassette someone had. Just a bunch of drunk concrete workers and me listening to it looking at the stars what one you could see. Still listen to them once in awhile. Good times.
Best female vocalist in rock n roll history, bar none
A part of my playlist til this day !! Watched them live in Halifax a couple times ...Halifax was a kicken live rock scene in the 80's
I loved to listen to the Headpins and Darcy Miles. She was not a conventional beauty but her voice rocks the house! I wonder what she is doing now.
Ahh, I want my money back! jks. I go and see Headpins and Honeymoon Suite tonight. The show starts at eight. Will be the second time for seeing both.
Auto tune was not invented when she sang. She was awesome and had great pipes! great video, check it out. 😘
Saw her live at the Commodore a few years ago. She was on the bill with Nazareth. She was singing her heart out but the sound system was crap. Good thing I got close to the stage so I could tell the problem was not her. She still sounds great.
that,s soo cooloo cool,....from your freind fan barryzzz.
Such a rocker ...love her
Whoo hoo! ❤
Those guys she is talking about were from the band Chilliwack. Awesome in every way!
Darby Mills - The legend of the side project of the ubiquitous Vancouver 70s and 80s band, Chilliwack. I thought this song was so cool when I was like 12. Then the game changed though. Music wasn't going that way anymore.
Loved you every since.
Doughnuts make me feel like dancin
Your voice...
awww Darby we got old!
I absolutely love everything about this song. Except the background vocals. They sound like they are on prozac. Though I guess it gives a contrast to her 110% energy. What an incredible talent she is. The guitar is epic too.
Turn it loud!
I would have bought it just based on the cover alone
Bill Henderson of course you all know is from Chilliwack.
What about the other song "Just One More Time" (1983)??
Oh Headpins were huge in Canada. Too Loud!!!
STEELBACK!
If Van Halen wanted a female singer Darby was it!! Eddie was thinking Patty Smyth..no Darby was it!!
Was waiting for the cocaine story
Moi aussi.
Michael J Fox used The Headpins name is Back To The Future calling his band The Pinheads...I wonder if Darby Mills just compensated?
Might as well have been Michael Jordan being interviewed...Darby is the best!
it was about being on coke
WHO?
I hate this fucking song, and about 90% of that is to do with that vocal.
Ok granny
@@RideAcrossTheRiver a granny would probably like it.
@@Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed Yes, she'd be a cool granny. You like Bieber
Ya not a huge fan...seen em....meh
The 80s , you gotta pick thru the pile.
That screeching voice in the background is her? I have a headache already after 30 seconds. Not my cup of tea.
There are lots of Bieber channels for you.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Never heard Bieber sing.
@@spaceghost8995 There are lots of Bieber channels for you.
