[@jerryfiore5818]

@@markseleood6623 Honestly, concerts were way less expensive back then, but without social media, we relied upon newspapers, magazines, the radio, MTV ad spots & fan clubs for our tour info. Plus, back then, bands like U2, Duran Duran & INXS all played the larger of what are now smaller arenas (by comparison to today's 5,000+ seat venues). The absolute best was finding out a band you loved was in town, then going at the last moment and getting good seats or standing close to the stage at a smaller venue! I must've done that a hundred times, easily! In my life, I've seen exactly 370 concerts - ah, the memories! While I never saw Neil Young, I did see The Alarm! My biggest regret, Mark? That I wasn't into taking pictures back in the 80's! From '83 to '88, I went to 217 concerts, hung out / partied with many bands. I knew the promo reps with all the major labels and got oodles of free vinyl, posters & tickets. I had a great life for 5 years! Thanks for your kind reply to this old man!

Paul Reynolds (guitarist) joined the band in 1979, when he was 17. He replaced the original guitarist Willie Woo. He left the band in 1984. In 2003, he rejoined the group for an episode of VH1's Bands Reunited. Before the performance, he was interviewed about why he left the band; he claimed that he was too young for the "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" and that he was exhausted from all of the performances. In early 2018 he rejoined the original lineup for their first new album since 1984's, Ascension.

Under rated comment,completely agree. As much as I adore EVH and shredders 80's guitar woulda sucked hard without the clever minimalist splashes and spritzes that Paul (and others) offered.I think 80's pop guitarists in general have been undervalued compared to the Eric Walsh Van Gibbons.

Where would this song ever be without Paul's guitar style and creatively composed little parts, it's like a second vocal line it's so pretty, he really made the bands' sound work so well in the early days. Great band.

[@anodyne57]

Just me speaking, but the guitar was the first "line" that I was following. Even if the vocals did hold their weight as a smart melodic counterpoint, it was really the guitar (and to a lesser extent the synths) that WERE the sound of AFOS's songs. It's what set them apart from everyone else at the time. Certainly not the drums (nothing against this particular drummer, it's just that every 80's band of this ilk seemed to fall back on the same basic head-jerking beat.)

Pauls style of using effects as instruments is yet another reason i got into music. I was only a few years behind them. I remember these days vividly.

played by humans, not machines.

[@dawoodrangam3985]

Yup

[@thethirdman225]

Yeah but these guys did pioneer the use of drum machines. There's a really good interview with them - all four of them - out there somewhere and they talk about it.

[@simfaithguitar1]

TheThirdMan agreed. I had two of their albums. was probably the only guy in the area who did.

[@thethirdman225]

It's funny: in some ways I measure a band's worth by its lack of success. You only know that they are pushing the boundaries if they have a few failures behind them. These guys did but they never really gave up which says a lot of positive things.

Marty Pollock man playing machines

Esa banda se adelantó a su época. Y sigue Vigente por los siglos de los siglos, amén.

There are so many comments about the guitar player....and rightfully so! His rhythm playing in this song is pretty cool. The string scratches he does.....I've been playing guitar since mid 80s and I've never seen someone do that as an integral part of a song. I've listen to a lot of guitar oriented music in my life and that's saying something.

Love the guitarist with the humongous 'man who fell to earth' glasses.

[@Cheesesockk3]

The dark but happy tone gives the full effect to this whole concert. So mysterious but look like a Fun time

[@loreleihopkinsart]

I could happily die in my 90s because i live through the 80s. There is nothing quite like it. I am now 50 and boy this is just brilliant!!!

[@davidlever1507]

Saw them in liverpool...great sound....another underrated band never reached the heights was the magnificent The Alarm...now Mike Peter's is a truly inspirational guy..and still rockin/rollin
