APRIL WINE Roller REACTION - First time hearing - My ears were blessed by Canada's finest!

[@fantasyguru26]

This is Canada's most under appreciated rock band, that's for damn sure.

[@randomtruths3400]

And, we've got a lot of them!

[@michellefranco5648]

Unfortunately,we have a number of bands that the world hasn't but should hear. There's something in the water up here. Cheers from New Glasgow N.S.

[@KelleyStrzelczyk]

Yup. Been saying that for 40 yrs.

[@rubbersole79]

When two lead guitars just aren't enough........One of Canada's great contributions to rock.

[@lockstar169]

When the lead singer might be the best of the 3 🤘

[@aberration3869]

If you lived in Canada in the 70s and partied you knew April Wine.

[@Sdoironpowers]

They were touring up til the singer died a couple years ago

[@charlesmclaughlin3578]

One of Canada’s gifts to the world

[@KLG777]

One of Canada's best❤

[@deborahcooper9085]

@@KLG777 Triumph is also a great band from Canada!! ❤️❤️

[@switchfoot8702]

April Wine is a killer Rock band, they have several excellent songs like that, I Like To Rock is another great one, love this song and video, thanks for sharing!

[@debbieplato5107]

One of Canada's best! 🇨🇦 ❤ Myles Goodwin the lead vocalist just passed last year. This is my favourite April Wine song. Cheers

[@han36solo]

I saw them live in '83 and it remains the best concert I've seen! The 3 guitar attack was incredible, and their drummer Jerry Mercer is a monster.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

First time hearing this. :) Excellent.

[@magneto7930]

One of Canada's best!

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction Harri!! As a Canadian myself, April Wine has been a constant in my life! They are the ultimate bar band - good hard rock, vocals and groove! Can't go wrong with anything from their long and illustrious catalogue! Cheers from Canada, eh!

[@Cynthia...]

Another of the great Canadian Bands. Great reaction Harri and thank you Louis.

[@steverichard2786]

April Wine is amazing. Silver Dollar , Before The Dawn both incredible tracks. 😍

[@6916dog]

Their 3 guitar attack is unstoppable. Every YT reactor loves this song ❤❤❤

[@Eurynomea]

What a hot song! I miss the old days when I could "move" to this kind of gold!

[@smacpost3]

One of my favourite bands growing up. Thanks for bringing it.

[@markjohnson4217]

Don't understand why these guys weren't among the rock giants of that era. They were certainly one of the best Canadian groups of the 70s and 80s. Other underappreciated canucks: Triumph, Max Webster, Streetheart, The Guess Who, FM, Lisa Dalbello, Rough Trade...The list goes on and on..

[@bastark6926]

Saw them live in '81, I was 14 yrs. old. Great show! Wasn't old enough to know what I was hearing or seeing, I just knew I liked it. ALOT!!😁

[@Mike990920]

So sad that Goodwyn recently left us. Highly under appreciated IMHO. Another great song of their’s is “Oowatanight”.

[@spawn4582]

Agree, this is definitely a hit, I'm sure this song has been number one in many countries, I liked the long solo of three guitars 🎸🎸🎸 at once, you can easily add this to your personal playlist. Excellent!

[@MadAnthonyI]

April Wine is one of my favorite bands ever! They were so tight and rockin'. I would call them easily one of the top ten rock bands of all time. Another one is Triumph. Great band.

[@debbiechang5781]

Great stuff! I totally enjoyed this. Thanks to Canada for this great, under appreciated, band. Thanks Harri and Louis 🌸💐🎄

[@RayEvans-j1q]

Great Canadian Band! They have lots of hits!

[@deborahcooper9085]

One of my favorite bands!!❤️❤️

[@davebzen795]

Louis, I have never heard this one by this Canadian band. The song and performance were terrific. Well done, both you and Harri.

[@marybaillie8907]

Hold on to your hat Harri. 🎩🎩 Such a great groovy tune from the 1979 album, "First Glance", this was the biggest hit on the album. From the first guitar lick, you are hooked. With 3 amazing guitar soloists, each performing a grade above excellence, joined by the rocking drums, then Myles Goodwyn's vocals that are so powerful and distinctive, this is still just a party waiting to happen. Great reaction Handsome Harri ❤❤ So happy you loved it. Thanks Louie for more Canadiana. 🇨🇦🇨🇦👏👏 Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@iandowney4630]

This was a fantastic rocking song! I’m so sorry that I didn’t hear them a long time ago!

[@marybaillie8907]

They were such a versatile band, with rocking tunes but great love ballads too. One of my favourites, " I Wouldn't Want to Lose Your Love" demonstrates their softer side. Take care Ian. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🎄🎄🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@debbiechang5781]

Merry Christmas Mary. I always enjoy your comments. I continue to be amazed by the amount of Canadian music I had never even heard of until I found Harri! Enjoy the holidays! 🎄🎄🇨🇦🎄🎄

[@marybaillie8907]

@debbiechang5781 Thank you Debbie. I love the great variety and diversity in Harri's channel. Plus he does make my day, so clever and refreshing. 💎💎 Merry Christmas Debbie 🙋‍♀️☃️🎄🎅😇

[@BigC.]

70’s were a great time for the hard rocking kid!

[@SteveBaxter-d2r]

Canada, big in size, small in population, HUGE musical talent . '70/80 best music

[@stephenpublicover8818]

The Band April Wine was formed in Waverly, Nova Scotia, Canada! Lost count on how many times i saw them LIVE. Grew-up about 5km from Waverly, (Lakeview) Older Brother went to school with Miles Goodwin RIP Stand Back "one of there great Albums"😀❤👌👍✌

[@DeniseMitchell-West]

Standback is my favorite...from an old Dartmouth girl!

[@joerichards2658]

Thanks for checking out my hometown band (Halifax, Nova Scotia)! So many great songs from this band - "Weeping Widow", "Like A Lover Like A Song", "Sign of the Gypsy Queen", "I Like To Rock", "Just Between You And Me"... the list goes on. Please check out some more from April Wine!

[@cjpew]

Met Myles - RIP - at a show once, really nice guy. My autographed tee is one of my prized possessions.

[@joesutherland225]

Many more Canadian bands in that era,many very good indeed

[@corinnemcpherson55]

Now you should watch Toque’s version. Four professional Canadian musicians who decided to 😢do Canadian covers of all the bands they grew up idolizing. Lead singer Todd, bass Brent, play for Slash, Cory, guitar, plays for Shania Twain, and Shane, drums plays in Japan. All the bands they have covered fully support what they are doing. They are amazing!!!

[@gabrielvanhelsing8214]

The Canadian rock group 'Triumph' with the release of their self-titled debut album back in 1976 and the masterful track from the album "Blinding Light Show/Moonchild" is worth checking out. 🔍The transitions in the arrangements and composition in the song are outstanding. 💫🌟🎤🎸🎹🥁🔊⚡🔥🎧☮

[@gsmith7309]

Seen them countless times they live around my area😊

[@RockinMamaT]

Proof you can never have too many guitarists 😅 I like to Rock, Rock and Roll is a vicious game and could have been a lady. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️

[@Barnes466]

Great band! They come from my hometown, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Thanks man!!!

[@scottdixon6033]

Harder faster, classic !

[@labyfan1313]

I'm 38 and I love, love, love April Wine. I was lucky enough to see them twice while lead singer Myles Goodwyn was still alive. They have so many amazing songs: You Could Have Been A Lady, Bad Side of the Moon, Weeping Widow, Sign of the Gypsy Queen, Oowatanite, I Like to Rock, Say Hello, Enough is Enough, I Wouldn't Want to Lose Your Love, Tonite is A Wonderful Time to Fall In Love, You Won't Dance With Me, Just Between You and Me. And that's just the start.

[@lealinds9496]

First concert I ever saw was April Wine. RIP Myles Goodwin & Jerry Mercer

[@phyrepharie]

Love your reactions, honest and true to your impression. No diss ever.

[@gabrielvanhelsing8214]

"Caught in the Crossfire" a track off the 'Nature of the Beast' album released back in 1981 by 'April Wine' is smokin' hot. One of Canada's best rock bands along with 'Triumph' at that time. 🎤🎸🎹🥁🎧🔥

[@Dee-JayW]

Triumph ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@gabrielvanhelsing8214]

"I Like to Rock" an international hit released back in 1980 by 'April Wine' is fire as well.💫🎤🎸🎹🥁🎧📻⚡🔥

[@gordonbezanson4710]

Now it begins. So many songs that are great. When i was 5 n6 years old i would wonder off up the road and listen to these guys practice in their garage in Waverly N.S. They played my older brother jr .high. ive seen this band many times in my life.❤

[@clint6872]

Great pick Louis, thanks to you and Harri.

[@knightyyz]

I saw them open for Triumph 2 nights in a row at Maple Leaf Gardens. Thunder 7 tour April 3 and 4 1985. The was a convert I'll never forget.

[@memorylane7068]

One of my all-time favorites from April Wine! I Like to Rock is another one. Just Between You and Me is a slower one, but great as well.

[@Dervanism]

Seen them many times yrs ago in Sydney Nova Scotia at the forum. Jerry Mercer was a great drummer and did some awesome drum solos.

[@ridgerunner7100]

Saw them back in the early 80's at the Montreal Forum.Sadly I don't remember much of the concert.😂

[@RossMack-g4i]

Jerry Mercer original drummer appeared to be the band leader at the shows I attended 70's onward

[@kevinhodgins1811]

Love the interplay between the guitar players in this one.

[@stevet5379]

April Wine, my favorite band when I was growing up. I've got every album they ever produced and all of it is worth listening to. It's amazing to listen to their early albums and compare their growth as a band over the years. Myles Goodwin's (RIP) voice just carries them and Roller is a great example of their style and firmly sets them as one of Canada's finest rock bands!

[@M63Tod]

They were in their prime when I was a teen. Amazing live band.

[@lindavickers5707]

I love April Wine! They played a lot in my small town of Kimberley B.C. when I was a teenager. Went to every concert.

[@lorimrasek7611]

Yes indeed one of the best bands out of Canada, they were the Nickelback of the 70's and 80's, I mean in popularity.

[@SpiroFleecy]

Fun reaction!

[@keymack2477]

One of the true joys on YT is watching our honorary Canadian citizen Harri react to more Canadian Gold! Thanks Harri, thanks, Louis, and greetings from Canada, eh? Sorry about that!!

[@BigC.]

Thanks!

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thank you ✌🏾

[@derekhorlock1976]

I saw April Wine back in 1976 when Heart was the opening act in my hometown of Kelowna B.C Canada. The Heart ladies were beautiful and so hot too! Truthfully I thought Heart was better

[@randyfromthepeg4994]

great band, had their albums. the good old days

[@sergebrunet4218]

The next April Wine should be ( i like to rock ) video and it s directly from the studio they recorded it ! I know that studio is 40 min drive north of Montreal. I used to go skiing there ! Le Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec. 😋

[@steverichard2786]

When they were only playing bars, they were also the band who played at my high school for a dance. That was in 1975!! ❤🇨🇦

I'd totally forgotten about this kick butt song!!!!! High Roller Baby YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember all the words😂

❤❤❤ thank you @Louise and Harri! ….man, we teens loved Myles Goodwin…and we loved our Canadian bands, as they went back and forth across the country, most people saw them… great catalogue, I’m still waiting for a reaction to my fave OOWATANITE ❤❤❤❤ 🇨🇦

Hello brother Harri...Great to see you again man!

[@HarriBestReactions]

Hello there!

[@KelleyStrzelczyk]

It must have been a good night . I cant remember where I saw them in Oshawa.

[@gorydetails709]

My favourite (Canadian) band are ska legends, the Planet Smashers!!! You should listen to their song, Life of the Party.

[@Shaundalfthegrey]

Love your channel. You should check out David Wilcox, "Hypnotizin' Boogie" -- another Canadian act that will blow your socks off!

[@mic01]

If you or anybody that reads this you should watch a documentary called "Rock this Town"

[@michaellanning9396]

Great frickin rock song ty Harri 😊 your awesome man from Michigan USA. Fire them songs away , check out more Beatles songs please my friend, shes a roller is a special energy song 🎵 ✌️😎

[@fasteddie777666]

I seen them back up Styx back in 1979 and thru the years , since I live in Canada, seen them many times thru the years, sometimes free at festivals....One of Canada's finest bands , at least in the 70's and 80's....they are in the Canadian rock Hall of Fame ....but doubt that the American's put them in theirs, even though they had a many hit Career

[@duncansolloway2497]

TRIUMPH is up next

[@herbwalters409]

why arent they in the rock and roll hall of fame? should be

[@jnbennett6496]

great post, if you have not heard there song i like to rock yet , it has the beatles day tripper riff near the end of the song

[@j.c.a2872]

Oowatanite is an absolute banger as is Crash and Burn; saw them play a half dozen times back in the day, never saw a bad show !!!!

[@chickenlampbrent]

I moved over from the UK with my parents in 1980 when I was 15. One of the first things I did was tune into the local rock radio station and I heard April Wine for the first time. Blew my doors off. The next thing I did was go out and buy two albums with my saved up spending money. Over the years I got to see them in concert four times and was lucky enough to communicate briefly online with Myles Goodwin shortly before he passed away. RIP. Oddly enough they were kind of looked at as a glorified bar band. They were so much more than that. Myles played so lyrically, a great songwriter and a wonderful singer. It's not often to get all that in one package, I never understood why they didn't achieve more success. Practically unheard of in the States. We are so proud of this Band! 🇨🇦

[@philchurch1115]

My senior year of high school.

[@0chuklz0]

This is a fantastic song of theirs. If you really liked this, I highly recommend you take a listen to both Oowatanite and Sign of the Gypsy Queen. Nice video.

[@Cark-r1d]

🔥🔥🇨🇦🔥🔥

[@paulrt3]

Another good one by April Wine is "Just Between You and Me", if you haven't checked that one out already.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

If anyone is interested, on my channel I have a video I recorded in 2021 of a 74-year-old Myles singing an acoustic version of "Sign of the Gypsy Queen". In the recording he's accompanied on guitar by his April Wine band mate Jim Henman who was featured in the dual guitar solo in this Roller video. Jim is the guitarist with the beard.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

Myles Goodwin just recently passed....R.I.P 😞

[@Chris4Liberty]

🎸Check out their song ‘I Like To Rock’, and see if you can figure out which Beatles song, AND which Rolling Stones song, that the guitar riffs at the end of the song are from.

[@Louis5900]

He already has.
