This album, "Don't Say No" was total fire. The follow up, "Emotions in Motion" was damn good too. Some highlights: "The Stroke." "In the Dark" "Everybody Wants You." "She's a Runner"
Billy Squier is an example of talent too good to fail, but not good enough to stand against the politics of the music industry. What a phonemical talent! This is an ALBUM concept where almost every single song is a winner.
He attended the Berkley College of Music. He wouldnt give up his publishing rights, and that made industry execs mad. He is worth $40 million dollars, a large amount of money for a guy who only had a couple great albums. As a comparison, Hall and Oates are worth around $35 million a piece. Daryll Hall HATES the industry. What a voice Billy has!
I wonder if that isn't what really wrecked him. More than that video. That Rock professor guy that's here on you tube brought out a good point. With the stroke. Where he said keep your contributions by your side. So the music industry won't allow creative success catalysts they're narrow minded and short sighted. Where if he's as rebellious as that song there was probably friction with capitol.
Billy Squire was huge in the early to mid 80s when I was in college. Songs you have to check out from the same album are “The Stroke”, “In the Dark” and “My Kinda Lover”. Strangely, one of my favorite songs from Billy Squier though is “Don’t say you Love Me” from one of his later albums….
Billy is so underrated he was huge in the 80s wish more people gave him more credit because he is really talented with such stage presence. Saw him in concert when I was little. I was lucky enough to have a single mother who took me everywhere she went so I grew up experiencing amazing artists from a very young age. Check out his song “The Stroke” love it!
A little known fact about Billy. He is the number one most sampled artist. For the hip hop community. That is why he doesn’t do many concerts. He makes millions licensing his beats and riffs. Another great review by y’all
First concert I ever saw was Billy Squier opening for Pat Benatar. It just doesn't get much better than that. They both just rocked the venue! Fantastic intro to rock and an amazing memory!! Check out more Billy Squier, "Everybody Wants You", "My Kinda Lover" and "Don't Say You Love Me". You won't be disappointed!!
I was never a big Billy Squier fan... but "Billy Squier opening for Pat Benatar"... It doesn't get more 80s than that! LOL We had it good musically in those days. And concert tickets were like 18 bucks!
The rawness in the sound, is the difference between when we used to record an analog as opposed to how everything is digitally mix now, my band used to record analog oh, you can hear almost every single sound
@@robertbrenneman5367 In '82 I saw Billy open for Foreigner at the Spectrum. It was my final semester of college so I think it was possibly February but I think it was in March.
Loved that Billy Squier album back in the day. Interesting tidbit: The drum line from his song "Big Beat" were sampled by a lot of early hip hop groups. You might also enjoy "In the Dark" and "Everybody Wants You." Two awesome rockers. Cheers to you guys, keep up the great reaction video work!
You totally nailed that vibe. Billy was one of the best artists of early 80s American rock and roll. I graduated high school in the early 80s when he was really big and we listened to a lot of his stuff along with Journey, Van Halen, Pat Benatar, The Cars, and The Police. I'm sure you already got all these suggestions so let me just echo, for further Billy Squier songs: "Everybody Wants You", "My Kind of Lover", and "The Stroke". If you liked this one you'll like those too.
Billy was the next Led Zeppelin. He had a Plant voice, he & his drummer the late Bobby Chenard had Bonham down, had great guitar prowess including great Telecaster, & Les Paul tones, & was a dynamite songwriter, arranger & self producer. Literally on a certain level, an almost 1 man LZ.
@@warinsidemyhead8939 A beautiful, & now quite hard to find Telecaster/Les Paul hybrid Saint Blues guitar at that. It's funny how no one ever says if only The Dance hadn't looked so fruity. Nope, the general consensus is that of 'If only he hadn't ever danced at all!' All can think of is that was the worst Cocaine Decision ever. If only Billy hadn't done The Booger Sugar Boogie!
The drummer's name is Bobby Chouinard. He was on most of the Billy Squier albums. Unfortunately, he left us in 1997. Great drummer! He always stood out on every song he played! Also, fun fact: Billy Squier is the most sampled artist in hip hop. I'm sure Bobby had a lot to do with it!
Not even close to being the most sampled. Big Beat got used a shitton back then but the James Brown breaks, The Winstons, Bob James, etc got used a LOT more. Big Beat will forever be the toughest drum break though imo.
Billy sued his record company over some royalty issues and ended up owning his master recordings in the settlement. Rap/ hip hop artists love his beats and riffs and have sampled him so much that Billy has made millions in royalties from people sampling his music.
All right my babies.... I've seen Billy Squier three times in concert! This band sounds exactly like the records and cassette tapes! P.S. please try your best to always showcase "official videos" , so the whole RSR family can view these artists. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I don't know about sounding exactly like the recordings, or if I'd even want that. But his show at Meriweather Post Pavilion in probably '81 or '82 was pure energy. More running from wing to wing of the stage than I'd ever seen, before or since.
@@Hexon66 I'm sure when you seen the productions in the very early stages of Billy Squier's career, the band was just starting out. But when I seen all three productions, the band had more time behind them which made them tighter, stronger and probably sounded a lot better than what you witnessed. Plus, the technology of electronic mixing boards and sound engineers have evolved. But I'm glad that you had the experience to see them in their debut stages 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
You're getting warmer...😎 And with this tune, you have officially jumped down the musical rabbit hole of Billy Squire!! Do the happy dance with me, because great music with a twist in every song awaits!!! *All Night Long* *In The Dark* *Everybody Wants You* *Don't Say You Love Me* *She Goes Down* *Love Is The Hero* That'll do for starters and I hope you keep an eye on this thread because you really need more Billy Squire to help round out your 80's musical understanding. It's only right. And when you react to "The Stroke" please pay very close attention to the lyrics otherwise you might mishear him sing something...that he didn't really sing...😯😁 I really loves me some Billy Squire tunes, all right, all right, all right...essential listening, imo. He's got a gravel in there, and a fire... Thanks S.W.
Billy Squier is my absolute favorite artist and has been since I first heard The Stroke around 1980. You two have a ton of excellent music to listen to just from Billy alone. Enjoy!! Rock on!
Great album from beginning to end. This album is Billy at his finest and is, indeed, "raw." There is no pretense to this album. He has a lot of bangers.
One of my favorite songs of all time! Pretty much all guitar players love this song! It's just simply so freaking cool to play along those simple but very catchy intro and riffs! And solo is also so on point for this kind of song!
love watching you guys getting lost in the music, its awesome! i grew up listening to Billy all my childhood. Some of his best for you guys are "In The Dark", "The Stroke", "Everybody Wants You", "Rock Me Tonight", "All Night Long"
Friday, August 27, 1982 at the Myriad in OKC. Queen in concert with Billy Squier opening. Unforgettable experience. Nothing like seeing Bohemian Rhapsody performed live with Freddie. I still have the ticket.
The album that this track is from is TOP NOTCH!! Every single track is unreal. Especially, What Do You Want From Me and Too Daze Gone....The album was released around 1981....
Billy Squier is an all-time favorite. Saw him live 2 times. The first opening for Queen in the early 80's. This guitar intro in a completely dark auditorium was one of my favorite openings to a show EVER,.
Way back in the 1970s, Billy Squier was in a band called Piper. The first concert that I ever went to was Kiss in 1977. Piper was the opening band. And on a side note, when I saw Kiss in 1979 the opening band was Judas Priest.
Billy was huge in the 80's. His 3 big albums had so many great rock songs. His other albums are good too, but these are the best. Don't Say No is absolutely classic. Don't Say No (1981) Emotions in Motion (1982) Signs of Life (1984)
@@emilyconnolly134 I went to BC High and graduated in ‘69 but grew up in Wellesley. Did you know Bob Wickham, Tom Villa, Mary McMillan? There were a lot more I knew.
I seen Squier at the Charlotte Coliseum with Def Leppard opening on March 19th 1983. It was awesome. My ears are still ringing, because he rocked the house down.
Thank you to whomever in comments for the led Zep reference! Totally hear it now! Never placed it even though I’ve liked it since it came out. This is where 70s rock was heading until mtv hit and changed the calculus. As someone mentioned he had a really wack video and couldn’t shift to the new medium. But for a while there he was the future.
I really enjoy and appreciate you breaking down the song and listening to it first hand. I'm from way back and seen this dude live every time his was in town. Every concert was bang'n start to finish!
Billy Squire rocked and I love the funky rock riffs in this song especially. Rock mixed with some old school funk. My older sister had this on vinyl and I eventually had the cassette. We played the album like crazy.
You've got to get back to the Moody Blues who were a huge influence on the music coming out of the 60's. You did Nights in White Satin but give a listen to Question (excellent), The Actor, Ride My See-Saw, Lovely To See You Again, One More Time To Live (a classic).... any and all are a great place to start. Thank you as they were such a big part of my life growing up back then.
FINALLY! Took a while, but you finally got to Billy Squire! Lonely is the Night is awesome! ...now react to some of his other songs such as The Stroke, Everybody Wants You, and My Kind of Lover please 🙂
I love Billy Squire! Some of my favorite songs from him is Everybody Wants You, The Stroke, My Kind of Lover and In The Dark and of course Lonely is The Night.
Billy Squire, had some of the best love shows. Saw him at Red Rocks, The Stroke, was a hit then. Straight up rock-n-roll, gotta love that.Thanks for this memory.
Best concert I *EVER* saw: Billy Squier opened for *_QUEEN_* !!! -- Yep, I saw Freddie before he was dead.
Me too! in Cincinnati Gardens.
it would be really weird if you saw him after he was dead
This album is so good-its like they just set up in Squier's garage and went to town. No heavy production-no autotune-just pure, raw, driving rock.
Absolutely
When music was music
This was just prior to the era when over producing became standard.
Funny you said that I had a friend who would always say Billy Squire & Supertramp were the greatest garage bands ever
Well said!
This was Billy Squier's tribute to Led Zeppelin. Listen to the John Bonham style drumming
Yes!
I knew I recognized the sound on this song. Led Zeppelin, that makes sense.
I remember hearing this same comment from a DJ years ago
Not just the style of drumming, but that big When the Levee Breaks, drums in the open stairway sound!!
and his voice.....I was like he sounds just like Robert Plant to me lol...
This album, "Don't Say No" was total fire. The follow up, "Emotions in Motion" was damn good too.
Some highlights:
"The Stroke."
"In the Dark"
"Everybody Wants You."
"She's a Runner"
Don't Say No was Squier's 2nd solo album
@@rickvolavka7026 Corrected by removing "first" Thanks for clarifying.
The Stroke was the weakest song on Don't Say No
Most definitely The Stroke and Everybody Wants You 🙏🙏
Billy was great in concert back in the mid 80's. Good old rock and roll.
BillyS was my Rocker back in the 80’s!
Gotta love Billy Squier!!!!
He doesn't get the respect deserving of his great music. Billy Squier is one of my favorites, still today! I can listen to his music all day.
Billy is simply awesome
Billy Squier is an example of talent too good to fail, but not good enough to stand against the politics of the music industry. What a phonemical talent! This is an ALBUM concept where almost every single song is a winner.
He attended the Berkley College of Music. He wouldnt give up his publishing rights, and that made industry execs mad. He is worth $40 million dollars, a large amount of money for a guy who only had a couple great albums. As a comparison, Hall and Oates are worth around $35 million a piece. Daryll Hall HATES the industry. What a voice Billy has!
Jay and Amber plz. Find a Anreas Sergovia vidoe. Another absolute genius on a classical guitar. He pays symphonies with 2 hands.
I wonder if that isn't what really wrecked him. More than that video. That Rock professor guy that's here on you tube brought out a good point. With the stroke. Where he said keep your contributions by your side. So the music industry won't allow creative success catalysts they're narrow minded and short sighted. Where if he's as rebellious as that song there was probably friction with capitol.
I don't have much to add. Squier is just simple in your face rock and roll done right.
I know I'm super late to this party, but when Amber said, "the drummer absolutely killing it" I was like "YES" the drummer rocks!
This dude frickin jammed big time.
In The Dark, Everybody Wants You
Love squier. Great guitarist and singer
Billy Squire is one of the most sampled artists out. His music has always been fire.
Billy Squier! Can't believe it! Finally!
Billy Squire was huge in the early to mid 80s when I was in college. Songs you have to check out from the same album are “The Stroke”, “In the Dark” and “My Kinda Lover”.

It's actually James Brown not Billy
What songs/artists? That's awesome.
@@redrocks1983 I think Eminem samples the stroke
That whole Don't Say No album is insane !
Absolutely love Billy Squire's music. He's underrated, which is such a shame !
Still does some touring and such.
His biggest hit song's video killed his career.
Harry Edward Nilsson III👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
@@michaelallen387 homophobia killed his career. It's 2024, you can say it...
I wouldn't say homophobia, Queen was huge during the time. The video was just terrible! Billy was my favorite Rockstar at the time too!
I haven't heard this in ages. I loved this song back in the day.
You couldn’t escape hearing his work on the radio, all your friends car stereo’s even in dance clubs during rock segments. Billy Squire was FIRE!!!
Anything from 80s rocker Billy Squire is good.Very popular in his time.👍👍
First concert I ever saw was Billy Squier opening for Pat Benatar. It just doesn't get much better than that. They both just rocked the venue! Fantastic intro to rock and an amazing memory!!

And just think, Def Leppard opened for Billy Squire when Pyromania came out. Talk about coming full circle.
I can't imagine having to follow Billy Squier. He rocks too hard. Once he leaves the stage there's no place to go but down.
The rawness in the sound, is the difference between when we used to record an analog as opposed to how everything is digitally mix now, my band used to record analog oh, you can hear almost every single sound
He was my first concert. He opened for Queen. He killed it!!!!
1982? I saw them at The Spectrum in Philly.
@@robertbrenneman5367 In '82 I saw Billy open for Foreigner at the Spectrum. It was my final semester of college so I think it was possibly February but I think it was in March.
Yes, he did 🤩🤩🤩 I saw them at The Forum in '82
Billy is great! I enjoyed seeing you two getting into it. Another Billy who is great... Billy Joel. Scenes from an Italian restaurant....PLEASE
1 ..Billy Squier Rocks !!
Can't get enough of these two, great channel! This was one of the first songs I did as a singer and to this day I'll never forget performing it live.
Billy Squier is a great producer… and this is something that is not overproduced… check out my kind of lover, in the dark, the stroke etc….
This song, like a lot of Billy's, has *swagger*.

Big Beat is the most sampled drum piece, & actually its The most sampled piece of Music ever. Mailbox money for life & beyond...

Billy is awesome! "everybody wants you", "the stroke", "my kinda lover".
Squire was in a band called Piper. Album is Can’t Wait. I saw them open for KISS way back in the day at Madison Square Garden.
There were two Piper albums that I used to have; I believe the other was just titled Piper.
Thank you, I forgot how powerful he was.
"Raw" is a great way to describe Squire's music. Great choice!
Billy is definitely a hidden gem,
“The Stroke” is a classic, more please!
Squire is such a great sound. Been a Squire fan for many years..
Great album from beginning to end. This album is Billy at his finest and is, indeed, "raw." There is no pretense to this album. He has a lot of bangers.
Grew up in 70s and 80s and I think best music made is from 1975 to 85 . So blessed to have had so much great music in my youth.
One of my favorite songs of all time! Pretty much all guitar players love this song! It's just simply so freaking cool to play along those simple but very catchy intro and riffs! And solo is also so on point for this kind of song!
Love Billy Squier! "Everybody Wants You" is a must hear.
love watching you guys getting lost in the music, its awesome! i grew up listening to Billy all my childhood. Some of his best for you guys are "In The Dark", "The Stroke", "Everybody Wants You", "Rock Me Tonight", "All Night Long"
My kind of lover; Everybody wants you are both worth checking out. Right up there with this reaction for sure!
Nice reaction - In the Dark if you are lining up Billy S. songs in the future. 1981 music to study by back in the day in the dorms.
Theres a really awesome slow ballad song called Nobody Knows on this album

One of the greatest Rock albums of all time right here!
A most excellent choice! Billy's 1982 album "Emotions in Motion" is a favorite of mine. You should check out "She's a Runner" and Learn How to Live"
You've got to get back to the Moody Blues who were a huge influence on the music coming out of the 60's. You did Nights in White Satin but give a listen to Question (excellent), The Actor, Ride My See-Saw, Lovely To See You Again, One More Time To Live (a classic).... any and all are a great place to start.

FINALLY! Took a while, but you finally got to Billy Squire! Lonely is the Night is awesome! ...now react to some of his other songs such as The Stroke, Everybody Wants You, and My Kind of Lover please 🙂
One if my favorite songs by one of my favorite singer/guitarist.
You have to do IN THE DARK next. Amazing.
Great video thank you
Fun Fact: In 2006 he joined Sheila E, Edgar Winter, Rod Argent and Hamish Stewart(Average White Band) on tour with the Ringo Starr All Star Band. 🙂
I love Billy Squire! Some of my favorite songs from him is Everybody Wants You, The Stroke, My Kind of Lover and In The Dark and of course Lonely is The Night.
All great songs! Don’t forget Rock Me Tonight! Highly underrated artist! If he’s not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he should be!
‘70s and ‘80s were great decades to be rock fans! Today’s music just isn’t the same, not by a long shot!
I saw Billy Squier open for Pat Benatar in Providence, RI in 1981. One of the most awesome concerts ever . . .
Billy Squire, had some of the best love shows. Saw him at Red Rocks, The Stroke, was a hit then. Straight up rock-n-roll, gotta love that.Thanks for this memory.
I saw Billy Squier and Queen back in the the day what a show
Been waiting awhile for this guy, should check out Everybody Wants You, Rock Me Tonite, and My Kinda Lover
His voice always reminded my of Robert Plant.
Now you have to react to his song, "Rock Me Tonight", the video destroyed his career but the song is awesome!
love billy squier
My favorite is "My kind of lover"! A real rocking genius is Mr. Squire. Be sure to also check out:
Emotions in motion
Stroke
In the Dark
This is a GREAT song !! Literally.... Make love to it !!
