COMPLETELY AGREED!!!!! Mike Reno has such a vocal range that's on par w/Rob Halford (Judas Priest) & D.L.Roth (Van Halen). Shit; take that back. He BLOWS THEM AWAY BY A MFin' COUNTRY MILE!!!!!
As a Canadian, I have to ask. Are you joking? The bar is not that low, yet. They had lots of hits in Canada but only 2 or 3 in the US. Trooper had a bigger impact stateside then them
No they were not and I say that as a fan of the band. Their first 2 albums were fantastic and they nose dived after that. By definition they were not one of the best bands but for 2 years they were a pretty decent band.
@@Firearcher4 they played stadiums and were one of the biggest bands on rotation on MTV and sold millions of albums in the 80's. How can you say that BS ?
@@SKRooU2 They put out TWO albums and that gives them the status of "Best Band"??? Here are some other bands /artists who enjoyed far more success than Loverboy did during the 1980's: Ozzy Osbourne, April Wine, Duran Duran, Elton John, Bangles, Heart, The Police, Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, Rolling Stones, KISS, John Cougar, ACDC, Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Motley Crue, Olivia Newton John, Prince, Rush and Van Halen. There were too many other bands who were simply far more popular and commercially successful than Loverboy from 1980-1989. Loverboy WAS one of the most popular groups in 1981/1982, for 2 years. I would agree with that. Their album Get Lucky was fantastic and helped garner air play for their first album. But their 3rd album Keep It Up was so so and it got worse after 1983. Loverboy was a good 80's band and were at one time my favorite band but in retrospect and if I am being honest were not "One of the best" for 10 years. Duran Duran would likely get my vote for #1 Best Band of the 80's. Their 1st album came out in 1980. They had 3 brilliant albums from 1980-1983, had many music videos and put out decent music and remained popular from 1984-1989.
@@SKRooU2 Yes I agree mostly. And so is what you said. Liking a band is subjective. Adding up $$$$$ for record sales is not. Loverboys albums: #1 LOVERBOY - In Canada peak position 17, sales 500,000 #2 GET LUCKY - In Canada peak position 8, sales 300,000 #3 KEEP IT UP - In Canada peak position 9 - sales 200,000 #4 Lovin Every Minute of It- In Canada peak position 22, sales 100,000 #5 Wildside , In Canada peak position 21, sales 50,000 "Greatest Band of the 80's" ?? "One of the best of the 80's" Really? This is your measuring stick. Not one album made top 5 in Canada EVER. So what facts do you have that qualify this band as among the BEST for 1980-1989. Madonna, one of the artists I named (FYI I hate Madonna) reached peak 3 in Canada and sold 1 million copies. Like a Prayer hit #1 and sold 500,000 in Canada. She is not even Canadian but sold far more than Loverboy. Loverboy was a fantastic band from 1980 to 1982. NO argument there. But there are 7 more years left in the decade and they tanked after that. Keep It up was a decent average album but then their next two quite frankly sucked. Many other bands remained relevant the full 10 years.
Go see them if you can; they were amazing (2023). Mike still hits the high notes and sounds great. I wish they were the headliner but I'll take what I can get.
Get Lucky is still the best Loverboy album period. Of course the first three albums were the best work they did. The other albums were good but when they were young and hungry they did there best work.
I love this band they have a good music in the 80s. I am 60 years old and I still love them and listen to their songs by the way I am from the Middle East.
I can still picture it: Early 80’s…high school dances…when Loverboy was played, I swear the girls would go ape-sh*t and dance like nothing else…which is what got me hooked on this band. Their music was so ripe for the early 80’s and teen lust. Odds were that you’d hear the album Get Lucky on someone’s cassette player while cruising. The best of times…being a teen in the 80’s.
RIP my old friend Thomas Glen Johnson. This was one of his favorite songs. Senior TCHS 1981. Pi Kappa Alpha. He died in a car wreck going to propose to the love of his life. Love ya Loverboy! Miss ya Tommy……
The best of the best right here. Every Loverboy song and album is awesome! Had "Get Lucky" and "Keep It Up" on cassette as a kid, wore them both out! Lol. Now I own them all on CD, and still play them often. I never tire of jamming and cranking these timeless tunes!
Matt Frenette. He come from Streetheart band originaly(Regina Sascatchewan). He played with them on their first two albums. After that he leave and go to Loverboy and joined Paul Dean(he was also ex Streetheart btw)...and the rest is rock history.
Loverboy is one of my favorite bands of all time! One of my favorite songs of Loverboy that brings back AWESOME childhood memories of when I was 9 and 10 back in early 80s!
This group perfectly jelled together. Amazing vocalist surrounded by great instrumental talent and they produced some awesome tunes. They were one the best bands of the 80s, and should have been around much longer than they were.
One of the best bands throughout the 80s!! So many greats songs from hard rock to ballads. I don't think think they were/are considered a hair band. They are just a great band I would still go and see.

Loved this band in the 80s and here it is 2020! Still damn good! Seen them at State Fair Pueblo Colorado about ‘83 and maybe 3 years ago St Augustine Fl amphitheater and they still have it! Great memories big time events in life!
They were so Awesome! I love their music today. It never gets old. I had such a crush on Mike and those tight red/black leather pants. OMG!!! He's voice was incredible. Canada does have a few great singers, he's one for sure!!!
Loverboy one of my favorite bands of my growing up as a fellow Canadian this was the first hard rock band that made me discover melodic hard rock lovin every minute of it is my favorite loverboy album
David Letterman on bass before he became a comedian! Seriously, the world misses Scott Smith with fine musicianship in original Loverboy. Loverboy in concert was indeed a serious rock band with excellent shows.
2:44 Scott Smith’s intensity cracks me up at this part in the video. Sadly, he died in 2000 when his sailboat was hit by a rogue wave and he was swept overboard without a life jacket on. They never found his body. RIP
We used to wait for this video on MTV back in the day. Probably one of the most notable aspects was/is the way that bass player jerks his head around. Lol. 😄
When I was in boy scouts,on our camp outs one of the guys had this tape and we always listened to it. Anytime I hear something from Get Lucky, I think back to those days.
That pure voice & that bass rift, 80's music cannot be beat with today's music!! Mike Reno's powerful voice is true & will never be replicated.
That is David Letterman
I remember watching the world premier of this video on MTV. I wouldn't trade growing up in the 80's for anything.
That's dude has such an unbelievably clear strong singing voice. Someone who didn't need to alter it in a sound studio. Just fabulous...the real deal
COMPLETELY AGREED!!!!! Mike Reno has such a vocal range that's on par w/Rob Halford (Judas Priest) & D.L.Roth (Van Halen). Shit; take that back. He BLOWS THEM AWAY BY A MFin' COUNTRY MILE!!!!!
Amazing voice. Dated lyrics. Kinda simple. But thats 1983 (or whatever Early 80s)
They still tour and his pipes sound the same a year ago they had a sold out show in Charlotte NC
Where the big boys play
It's just music and it's still hot
Reno's voice is a gift from God!
It truly is!
How is Loverboy not in The Rock and Roll HOF?! They have sooo many hits!!
What meaning does the RNRHOF have anymore?....... 😎
Is Crüe in the HOF yet? Bc they should be too frfr
Todd Rundgren just got nominated and he said he won’t show because the rock n roll HOA is a joke .
Public Enemy is in the Rock and Roll HOF. That should tell you how much of a joke it is.
As a Canadian, I have to ask. Are you joking? The bar is not that low, yet. They had lots of hits in Canada but only 2 or 3 in the US. Trooper had a bigger impact stateside then them
One of the coolest album cuts of the 80's. Back when albums mattered.
It is- for it's socio-political commentary.
Please tell me you're joking...this shit never mattered and never will...complete and utter garbage...

I was able to see them 2x. Amazing sound and vocals. RRHOF needs to induct these boys!! Come on man..😎
That bass
Very driving. Pretty sure he disappeared at sea quite some time ago. RIP man
Scott was a beast on the bass! 🔥
This kind of music is untouchable in this generation 👍
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
High energy - better then Reo - and Styx - saw them recently- very undervalued 🎉
Whenever I hear this kind of original, pulse-pounding music, I think to myself that music is officially "dead" as of today.
God I miss the 80s. THE GREATEST MUSIC EVER. These Bands were real musicians and song writer's.
100% 80’s my teenage decade # the Best !
Same here. YES IT WAS. Not like today's music.
such a kool 80s song....overlooked track indeed. im bringing tht back myself

What a brilliant group and so underrated by so many people!
Underrated by whom? Stupid statement.
No denying their 1st, 2nd albums were groundbreaking...
They are not underrated.

ONLY THE LUCKY ONES
GET TO SEE THE SHOW
GET LUCKY , 🎻🎹🎶🎵🎼🎤🎸✔
sounds like most bands ,,, young, hungry, and their best work lol
They are such a great band. I have a lot of respect for Paul Dean's musicianship and guitar skills.
Love this song
I love this band they have a good music in the 80s. I am 60 years old and I still love them and listen to their songs by the way I am from the Middle East.
They have so much soul. Driving rhythms and melodies. Soaring vocals. Amazing!
Killer voice!
And a singer who looks remarkably different in many of their music videos
Loved it in 82& love it now 2022 I'm 55 now! The 80s will always rule 🤘🤘🤘 gen x baby 🤘🤘🤘
The 80's were THE BEST!!!! (We're the same age.)
Sophomore year in high school feels like a lifetime ago, but nothing better then MTV after school, we had it good 🤘🤘🤘
Lol,Loverboy,Ratt,and Motley Crew vs Led Zep,the Who,and Black Sabbath lol
Saw them at City Island, Harrisburg, PA in 1983. Those were the times of my life! 👊
Fuckiin A. I never saw them bit I saw Motley Crue in 1985. 🤘
we are so Lucky to have lived during this time .
LIKEWISE!
Same here I was 15 🖤
you so right
They Kicked Ass !!!!! Great Concert !!!!! July 1982 !!!!! The Most Soldout Concert in My Town !!!!! Never Forget !!!!!
80 s will never die and keep you rocking forever ❤️

I. jammed. to those albums regularly. Mack,. Villa del. Rey BR. 82-83
Insane drummer, he built the structure on all songs, awesome groove and timing, of this album.
16 parts on Turn me loose. Takes quite some energy to keep that up a whole song.
Amen super under appreciated. His fills were solid with massive power and perfect timing. Like at 3:50 for example.
One of the most entertaining rock drummers to watch in action. So much energy.

Always loved that voice. Right up there with the best Rock voices.

Mike Reno one of the finest vocalist of the 80s
yes he sounds so similar to Lou Gramm of Foreigner
80s will never go away or die love your songs boys
Nothing today could top this stuff!
Truth!
Mike had an amazing voice. Dean had the Midas touch on guitars! Great rock band. Under appreciated.
I fucking love this song! Takes me back to a better time in my life ❤
Fuckin A man! Hang in there

Loverboy Still Rocks to this day!!!!! Mike Reno has a Phenomenal voice
Best group ever ❤
80s decade: a great era of synth rock 😎
That’s why it always be the best era!
This group perfectly jelled together. Amazing vocalist surrounded by great instrumental talent and they produced some awesome tunes. They were one the best bands of the 80s, and should have been around much longer than they were.
My sister bought this album back when it was released. It brings back strong memories god damn man
Saw twice in the early 80’s and they were fantastic!! I became a lifelong fan. 👍🏼
One of the best bands throughout the 80s!! So many greats songs from hard rock to ballads. I don't think think they were/are considered a hair band. They are just a great band I would still go and see.
I totally agree with you on that statement. I think it's ridiculous that they are not in the rock and roll hall of Fame.
Awesome thank you ❤
Saw them warm up for ZZ Top in Abilene ,Tx 1984 or 85. Anyway the local scribe wrote the next day LB blew the doors off ZZ Top IN TEXAS. Wow.
Reminds me of when I use to be in St. Regis. I'm Mohawk and proud. I had good looks and I was young and innocent 😇
The first time I saw Loverboy was in 1982. They played 4 hours! Best concert I have ever seen! Had school the next day, oh well.
Mike Reno smoking a heater in an alley. You know it's fixing to go down.
Saw them open for journey, in 81, very underrated group, and singer, blew me away!
Ok I just found this song. This is back then when you had to sing and play music it was hard back then.
Best band ever. Saw them at Reno Rib Cookoff 2010
I literally know every word to every song they released. For a long time, this band was the top of my playlist.
Used to crank this in my 85 IROC!!!
One of the songs that got less airplay; my favorite loverboy. The lyrics are strong, too, convey a danger without any resolution.
Best era for music 👍
Brings me back to roller skating weekends! Damn they were hot 🥵 and the drummer kills me with his mouth open in his drum kingdom / was damn good
Epic song. Great sound great lyrics

Unas de mis rolas número 1 favoritas de loverboy puro los 80 grandes memorias
Such a great tune.❤
And with time the undisputed champion is born!
My father told me Citation was the best horse he ever saw!
Too good....this song has come to mind recently with all the crazy smash-and-grabs, follow home robberies and such....
Saw them with the Hooters in 1984. Very good in concert!
Enjoyed them at the KS State Fair in Hutchinson. Night Ranger opening up for Loverboy.
When I was in boy scouts,on our camp outs one of the guys had this tape and we always listened to it. Anytime I hear something from Get Lucky, I think back to those days.
First concert I ever went to & it was fantastic ❤❤
One of the few videos EVER that has the audio and video synced. Love this song!!!!!
Still playing
