He's an underrated guitarist because, like Gilmour, he doesn't shred. But what's good about him is more subtle than Gilmour or Frampton. It's less a distinctive style, and more like a flexible versatility. I love his delay-based rendition of Fly Like An Eagle from the Midnight Special. And that might be the most beautiful guitar ever.
Loved seeing this "calm and chill" song touch Lex's soul. I can say from personal experience, 70s classic rock should be "energizing" for you, just like metal has been so far.
How did I not know this?! Fucking awesome Edit: just did some reading, his parents were the best man and maid of honor for Les Paul and Mary Ford. Steve literally grew up with Les Paul hanging at the house with his parents. This is blowing my mind.
this guy has a bunch of classics, he was so big in the mid 70's. here's a few of his bigger hits, - fly like an eagle, - serenade, - jungle love, - take the money and run, just to name a few.
I started watching various reaction videos about a year ago, and since I found you guys several months ago you've become my absolute favorites. Thanks for them all.
This song has been on my "chillin out in the garden with my friends having a family bbq" playlist for 30+ years. Just good vibes, smiles all around. The song thats comes after this one on my playlist is Son of a preacher by dusty springfield, check it out.
This came out when I was in my early teens...Steve Miller was one of the better bands amidst a time when legions of great bands rocked the air waves.......
Brad even smiled after the song! Look at the big heart on Brad! Spock find your Earth half! I like your no bs approach to reactions! I watched so many different people reaction and they need to take notes from you two.
I love Steve Miller Band! They’ve got a deep catalog: Jungle Love, The Stake, Wild Mountain Honey, Abracadabra, Dance Dance Dance. I first heard this song at my very first job in 1992 when I worked at an amusement park. There was a ride called the Himalaya and the owner of the park only allowed the best 70s and 80s music on that ride.
Just saw them in July of 2019! Still rockin’. He’s a great story teller. The venue only held about 1,000 people so it was super intimate. Great show! Great band! Anything you play from them will be interesting.
I have to agree. I saw him in a similar venue and thoroughly enjoyed it. You're right about the story telling and he's a very talented musician/song writer.
This was favorite song of the night!! I’ve been requesting this one for weeks. I loved Brad saying the shake your tree line slaps. YES IT SURE DOES friend.
This is probably the tenth time I watched this vid, yet it still gets me a chuckle when I hear Brad saying, "Uh, you wanna turn everything into metal".
This song will always be for my little brother & his time in the Army in the 1990s. He earned the name Maurice from his fellow trainees in basic training. It was shortened to Mo which he kept forever after even when he later was part of a veteran's PTSD support group. Brother was in Bosnia/Kosovo & Somalia where he received a field promotion to Staff Sergeant. Brother died from a massive cardiac event on 1/27/21. R.I.P. Aaron Hamilton.
@@jamessomers8808 Sorry, probably a bit obscure unless you're a Terry Pratchet fan. It's a disc world novel 'The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents' but I associate the name Maurice with it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Maurice_and_his_Educated_Rodents
Classic song from way back. This was a song we'd drive around drinking and toking and someone would put in the tape and everyone would start singing and screaming the lyrics to it. It was one of the few songs I think we all knew the lyrics too.
Seen Steve Miller around 40 years ago. The one thing I remember everyone in the crowd sang like 6 songs in a row Was a great concert. Fly Like a Eagle is a must.
When I was 10 years old, in 1977, I had a portable suitcase record player that would play 45s 78s and 33s. The first two 45s I told my mother to buy were the Steve Miller band and Foreigner.
We used to love to party in college with are Steve Miller cassettes as our own soundtrack many great songs going back to hearing him as kid on F M radio
Steve Miller's Book of Dreams was the first album (yes, vinyl) I ever got as a young teen, a thousand years ago. I finally got to see him live a couple years ago, and the dude's still got it.
I love the phrase 'playing my music in the sun' sounds like the free and pure....the opposite of depression...like the ideal opposite of repression...getting too deep...one of my favourite feel good songs.
Steve Miller goes from Living in the USA and Space Cowboy to Mercury Blues and Fly Like an Eagle. He has a lot of really good songs. I was lucky enough to see him live back in the day.
Ha! Quote: "The pompatus/pompitous of love is a nonsense phrase, said to be about intimate things that you would tell only to a close and special person." I love it when songwriters make up words! Lex is styling in pinkish shades today... Thanx for the reaction.
This song is the start of a style…it’s a 70’s track! Let’s be real, this could of came out in the 90’s and nobody would of thought it was out of place.
This was Homer Simpson's favorite song in high school. Mine too. A lot of the lyrics are references to Miller's earlier hits. Good vibes, Waukesha, Wis.'s own. A true legend. Dig deeper.
I can't truly believe that someone in this country has never heard this song. This song has been everywhere for decades and even though I haven't owned this album for 20 years I hear the song daily in Movies, TV, car radios, in supermarkets and stores, everywhere. This song is woven deep into generations of American culture, a constant in the background. A song that has never been considered "retro" because it has never disappeared to be rediscovered. One of a handful of songs ever to have true staying power.
This is one of my favorite songs. It's so chill. I would listen to it all time in college when I was at my apartment chilling toking. Man those were the days. It's been awhile. :-(
Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs ("Lowdown") both came out of Dallas at about the same time - Scaggs was in Miller's band for a while. Really fun and good music.
Check out Steve Miller Band "Space Cowboy" for the backstory. Also check out Steve Miller Band "Living in the U.S.A." and "Rock'n Me" for a couple more bangers.
Growing up I always thought this song was from the 90s. I only found out it was from the 70s a few years ago on TH-cam. The song was way ahead of its time.

"Fly Like an Eagle" "Jungle Love" "Take the Money and Run" are a few good Steve Miller songs.
''Fly Like an Eagle''
Jet Airliner
All too new... You have to go back to early Steve Miller ... Living In The USA, Going To Mexico, Space Cowboy...
@@vrvaughn I guess that depends on how old a person is. I'm a 70's classic rock fan.
@@ralphfiligenzi6180 oh I get it… and I’m just old 😉🤣😂🤣😂
Lex, are you ever in a bad mood? You're always so bright and full of life!
Lex is FANTASTIC. 👍🤪
I do get hangry! Haha
Got to keep that girl Fed will meat 🍖🥓
@@justbe4481 ...Fed...
@@jazzyboy7784 got it 👍
"Take the Money and Run" and "Fly like an Eagle" should be the next songs you guys need to hear!!!
Add "Mercury Blues" to the list!
"Jungle Love"
Livin' in the USA,,,,🔥😎
Heart like a Wheel is also a good one. 👍
@@Tat2Dragons Good one! I haven't heard that one in ages!
One of the coolest songs ever.. If this is played out at a bar alot of people sing to it.
hahaha... hey big brother! you fans of these guys too? Love me some Brad & Lex!
@@ClassicRollPlayer Heck yeah.. Have liked for a few months now.. They are great!
Brad’s smile said everything - Steve Miller is pure joy. This is drinking in the sunshine with your friends music.
Fun facts about Steve Miller: Les Paul was his godfather. Steve formed his first band at age 12.
Cool. Thanks. Another one is that his use of 'pompatus' was him inventing a word, with the only purpose being to use it in that song (a nonce).
Another fun fact both of them were from Wisconsin
He's an underrated guitarist because, like Gilmour, he doesn't shred. But what's good about him is more subtle than Gilmour or Frampton. It's less a distinctive style, and more like a flexible versatility. I love his delay-based rendition of Fly Like An Eagle from the Midnight Special. And that might be the most beautiful guitar ever.
I love fun facts, Les Paul was the best man in his father's wedding. no wonder he's so good on the guitar.
And yet he played Fenders... 😂🤣😂
The world needs more music like this its not cynical at all.
Jet airliner is another of their songs I think you’d like. Hell you’d could do a stream of just their songs lol
bingo jed had a light on.
Don't carry them too far away.
@@misterkite I was just going to say this. I once heard a comedian say it sounds like"bingo jet had a light on". Lol
@@misterkite to me it was "Bingo, Jed, and Lionel"
Don't forget Take the money and run
Steve Miller's Greatest Hits is one of the best albums of all time....
My 85 year old uncle is Maurice and he adores this song...some try to call him Morris..but he corrects them and says no, I'm Maurice, I'm a joker!
I have a good friend named Maurice and I used to give him crap about this when we were younger
Loved seeing this "calm and chill" song touch Lex's soul. I can say from personal experience, 70s classic rock should be "energizing" for you, just like metal has been so far.
Hellz Yeah!! Great Stuff The 70s goin into the 80s was Amazing!!
If you liked this, check out Steve Miller Band: "Take the Money and Run."
"Abracadabera" "Rocknme" "Jet Airliner" "Jungle Love" and "Fly Like An Eagle" are great hits. Really good band!
I think Lex would would like the guitar solo in Abracadabra. Nothing before or after really sounds like that solo, it's a unique sound.
The midnight toker is too chill to be trouble. He's a tree shaker, baby.
You damn right!!!! Me all day every day no drama here.
Gotta love the reference to her peaches….that line always makes me smile and glad it made you guys smile too!.
Don't think I ever noticed but that's a pretty sick bass line in there...and of course that solo
Sick as bro
I love that bass line. So perfect.
The legendary guitarist Les Paul tought Steve Miller how to play guitar. His parents were friends with Les Paul and his wife.
Wow that’s crazy never knew that
How did I not know this?! Fucking awesome
Edit: just did some reading, his parents were the best man and maid of honor for Les Paul and Mary Ford. Steve literally grew up with Les Paul hanging at the house with his parents. This is blowing my mind.
I heard Les was Steve's Godfather
Les Paul was the best man at their wedding.
Les Paul taught Steve Miller how to play guitar, he and his wife were family friends. I am sure he would perform with them when he was young.
Try their "Living In The U.S.A.", "Fly like an Eagle", "Jet Airliner", "Take the money and run".
This is the first song that I can ever remember hearing on the radio as a kid.
this guy has a bunch of classics, he was so big in the mid 70's. here's a few of his bigger hits, - fly like an eagle, - serenade, - jungle love, - take the money and run, just to name a few.

I feel blessed to have spent all of my teenage years in the 70s we had the best music of all genres
I started watching various reaction videos about a year ago, and since I found you guys several months ago you've become my absolute favorites. Thanks for them all.
Steve Miller is one of the greatest musicians (and band) in rock'n' roll history. The songs never get old and were ultra popular in the 70's.
This song has been on my "chillin out in the garden with my friends having a family bbq" playlist for 30+ years. Just good vibes, smiles all around. The song thats comes after this one on my playlist is Son of a preacher by dusty springfield, check it out.

The Steve Miller Band jams!
I wish everyone could be like you: straight to the music/movie. The reaction doesn't start until you push play. We're here for the reaction.
Brad even smiled after the song! Look at the big heart on Brad! Spock find your Earth half! I like your no bs approach to reactions! I watched so many different people reaction and they need to take notes from you two.
look at the big brain on brad.........cool reference

Yeah ...Abracadabra
Best feeling song I know. Flashes me back to the day all the time. Always a good feeling.....nostalgic
Just saw them in July of 2019! Still rockin’. He’s a great story teller. The venue only held about 1,000 people so it was super intimate. Great show! Great band! Anything you play from them will be interesting.

Love Steve Miller Band Member Tour ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lex...your the best...you nailed it...being on the boardwalk at the beach in the 70s...man...I lived it.
This song was one of my dad's favorite as a teen in the 70s. So whenever I hear this I think of him.
I think Steve Miller is one of those rock stars that can walk around in public and nobody recognizes him.
Steve Miller was the first concert.I ever saw in 1982.They played for 3 hours and did 6 encores.
This was favorite song of the night!! I’ve been requesting this one for weeks. I loved Brad saying the shake your tree line slaps. YES IT SURE DOES friend.
It sounds like a song that someone sings around a campfires... I remember hearing this song in the 70s , Steve Miller band has great songs.
This is probably the tenth time I watched this vid, yet it still gets me a chuckle when I hear Brad saying, "Uh, you wanna turn everything into metal".

sorry for your family's loss 😔 may he rest in peace 💙
When this song came out I was in junior high school and the radio station 99X in NYC played this song what seemed like 10 times an hour for months.
The bands I played with during this era always included this song cos the audience loved it. It was a cover standard.
Love Steve Miller band, such a great vibe with their songs! thx for sharing Brad & Lex :)
So glad you found Mr. Miller's rabbit hole! Huge part of mid-to-late 70s rock.
I just saw Steve last night (3/26/23)... He's 79 years old and still JAMS! His guitar playing is amazing. So underrated.
I saw this guy live like 3 times at least. He is always playing those cheap outdoor show venues, every summer. Pretty fun show.
When I'm done boating for the day this is the song I blast when I head in. Can't help but smile to it.
Sunsets midsummer nights grills with good food cooking and good people is what this song reminds me of every time. Just a good vibe
From a 72 year old man y’all make me so happy enjoying our music. Good luck to both of you outstanding individuals. Stay true to yourself !
Yes! Steve Miller is the man. Vocal harmonies galore. Takes me to my childhood. Thx for reacting.
I'm definitely a midnight Toker, but no one calls me Maurice. Pity that.
I believe you need some educated rodents to be called Maurice.
I'm a mid day toker... I'm asleep at midnight!
@@speleokeir I'm not sure what that means, but I'll look into it.😝

Yep Yep
Steve Miller Band had some hits. 🎶…keep on rock in’ me baby…..🎶 heard it mostly at hang outs or chill parties.
I've been listen to this song for almost 50 years and I still don't know what the fuck the Pompatus of Love is
steve millers voice has so much personality and musical tone
Don't let his simplicity fool you. This man can PLAY. He learned from Les Paul in Wisconsin.
This was a staple @ every party I went to in th 80s , along w/ Eagles, AC/DC & Van Halen
Steve Miller, one of the classic, you can't go wrong.
Steve Miller Band some of the greatest hits of classic rock. You definitely need to listen to a lot more of them.
When I was 10 years old, in 1977, I had a portable suitcase record player that would play 45s 78s and 33s. The first two 45s I told my mother to buy were the Steve Miller band and Foreigner.

"Come on, into my kitchen" is another Fantastic song! Not as well known, but you'll both enjoy it.
Saw him in concert in 2019, still good. They have so many hits. I suspect you will be listening to many more in the future.
Steve Miller Band has quite many fun, chilled, party dance tunes you will like.

Saw this band in concert years ago at Freedom Hill in Detroit. Awesome experience!
Steve has a few fun, lighthearted songs. Try Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash and Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma and Mary Lou, all from this album.

Turning 14,15, starting to smoke weed and learn about new music. This is a must listen for that period of growing up!
Hear "Serenade" by him.
He was neighbor from Les Paul and was learnig and playing guitar much time with him.
You can never go wrong with Steve Miller.
Oh yes! . . .Steve Miller Band. The good old days. Oh, the memories.
I grew up , with this music in England. Can't believe you not heard this .
YES! Original very different stuff. Thanks again for bringing out my smile Lex.
This is one of my favorite songs. It's so chill. I would listen to it all time in college when I was at my apartment chilling toking. Man those were the days. It's been awhile. :-(
Well, that is a new look! The song takes me back. Thanks. I used to work with a cool guy called Maurice.
Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs ("Lowdown") both came out of Dallas at about the same time - Scaggs was in Miller's band for a while. Really fun and good music.
I read that he wrote this song lying on top of his car with his guitar, staring at the stars. I love that image when I hear it!
lex mouthing the guitar sounds!!!😄😊 and I was waiting for Brad to smile at the lady parts of the song!!😄😊😉
When I was a little child my friends Mom cleaned his ranch house in Oregon and we used to take our naps on Steve's bed.
This song used to always end up in our playlist when there was a bunch of us hanging around drinking beers back in the 90s

Aloha, High School '70s, Love him cause he used to come Maui every couple years...
I love when you both of you get the vibe of a song and it just clicks!
Stevie "Guitar" Miller has a great catalog for reactions. "Swingtown" or "Jungle Love" are 70s rock radio classics.
Love your reactions, especially Lex's. This is the ultimate 70s song. Check out "Fly like an Eagle", Keep on Rockin' me Baby" and "Jetliner."
Joker is the Wild Card all around guy life of the party 🥳
