Ok kids, take notes. This is how it's done !!!!!! We stole the synth opening by dubbing it over on a duel cassette deck and the drummer would play it on a walkman that was patched into the PA when we played this. Yeah, I'm that old. Still a KICK ASS TUNE !!!!!!!!

The Les Paul with the Explorer headstock is so iconic Ado Nova. Nobody else has one.

Very few songwriters has a song like "Fantasy". I am 63, if God let me I want to live at least 15 more years listening to stuff like this. All be blessed.

Not just Canadian. One of the greatest, most underrated artist, ever! Dude just balls out rocks!

[@jaylebeau7783]

SuperNova Song! i..i_ _i..i The completely commercialized American Music Industry obviously has almost zero taste in good tunes. Took 'em 45 effing years (& under pressure/duress from other great musicians) to finally recognize uber-greatness, & induct RUSH into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which is about as shameful as the simple fact that fellow Canadian-legend April Wine is still waitin' for that 'honor'. Dubious much? Like Alex Lifeson astutely said though, "...blahBlahBLAH!!!...".

[@ElChangoEnojado]

@Jay Lebeau Don't even waste your time and logic trying to figure out the crap show that the R&R HoF is. It's a sad joke. Corporate greed controls radio. Rock lives and breathes on the internet, thankfully

I often wonder, where that outfit ended up in life. Did Aldo keep it, maybe? Or, maybe it ended up in a shadow box at some Hard Rock Cafe. 🤘🤘

[@canadianwolf4749]

Omg yes it should be at Hard Rock Cafe for sure !! Or rock hall of fame ! I’m still stunned he can rip that guitar at his age ! Guys half his age fade and he still rocking ! Can’t wait to hear his new stuff very curious about it

Totally agree. “Aldo Nova” doesn’t get much cooler 👍

[@kevinbreese5739]

AWESOME!! I've Been listening to this song since it first came out. I was 10 years old at the time and I remember writing "Aldo Nova" Across one of my paper school-book covers. The sound of that guitar riff with the synthesizers is just absolute magic. It's one of those once in a lifetime sounds that is absolutely magical and transcendent, and I still get the same feeling listening to it 40 years later. It's just such an amazing and immensely "cool" sound that never gets old. By the way, you look and sound fantastic! Really enjoyed this version!! Love ya brother. Keep on rockin!!

[@darrininverarity4297]

I remember playing this cassette full blast on my pioneer super tuner 3 in my 74 firebird,it was such a good recording.

[@dosgos]

One of the best rock songs ever. The writing, singing and playing are just out of this world. The virtual-live version Aldo and his bandmates recently posted is worth checking out. Thank you Mr. Nova.

1982. Grade 8 for this guy. My dad bought this album and he’d play it loud on the old Marantz stereo and I loved it. Great album not to mention I danced many a slow dance to Ball and Chain to when I was a kid. This album still stands up pretty well today to my friend. Rock on. 😃

I had my first car in 1982 , A 1978 Chevy Monza with Audiovox Cassette, EQ and 6x9's. Proud to say Aldo Nova's "Fantasy" blew out my speakers. Imagine that ! A Nova took out my Monza. Lol

[@jayheinz4624]

I bet you weren't the only one that had their car speakers blown to this song!! 😅👍🐦

[@chipdamutt108]

Blows the doors off of anything that passes for music these days. This song will always hold a special place in my heart because the crazy life I was living got me in a mess. Great job Aldo!

[@jameshicks7125]

Back in the 1980s I saw you, Loverboy and UFO (if memory serves...I am 60). At the time, I was pursuing a drumming career and was a music snob. I was doing Mahavishnu, Frank Zappa and King Crimson covers in a band. Biting off way more than we could chew. The show was in Portland Oregon at a small club called "The Starry Night". It was a "Threefer" show. My cocaine dealer had an extra ticket so I tagged along. I remember being entertained by Loverboy, they were professional. I remember UFO was terrible. I think the band was high and or drunk. In a Spinal Tap moment the keyboard player fell into his keys and started knocking them over when a stage hand ran out and stabilized the situation. I remember being blown away at how tight and musical your band was. Aside from your hit there were other songs that were far more sophisticated than anything I had heard from mainstream rock in a long time. You guys were impressive and memorable. All the best.

[@ghkillah1995]

Pure legendary, I can't get this gigantic smile off of my face!! Tears in my eyes, I don't know how you made it sound as if I were hearing it again for the first time. Your music inspired me brand new years ago on MTV. Your lasers are now sent wirelessly and our brains are melted with sick power chord riffs and those solos echo into my heart forever. Thank you Aldo.

[@lisaschafer9616]

I was a 17 year old hormonally charged girl back in 1982. My first rock n roll cassette was Aldo's Fantasy. Let me tell ya, I played that cassette so much, that it actually wore out. I am sure that's where my partial hearing loss has it's beginning too. Back then, music videos were the bomb.Fantasy and Ball and Chain had me swept off my feet.. Such a good time in music history back then .Aldo's music, his talent, raw edge and sex appeal still alive today, I might add. It's no wonder or surprise that Aldo introduced me to my love of rock music. It's so f--in awesome that you're rockin it out in 2020 ,Aldo. Thanks so much from a fan.

[@robmagrath9162]

Epic song of my youth. I love the muted counterpoint riff. Such a well written and produced song 🎶 🔥❤️

[@angryllama3414]

Awesome! Aldo is till kickin it! My neighbor introduced me to this guy in about 1982. He played this song on his big ass (then new) Realistic Mach-1 15" horn loaded speakers hooked to direct drive TT and Realistic's biggest receiver ever made as his bedroom system. I think it was like 130 watts RMS. He actually blew his receiver up and had to have it repaired playing this song combination over and over. Shook the whole house. The old golden days of HiFi. I had an LXI Sears 21 watt receiver and pair of Pioneer Centrex 10" 3-ways. We'd both be cranking it up with windows open, but he'd drown me out in the neighborhood. My dad came home and kicked my butt. Claimed he could hear us a block away. LOL! Those were the days.

[@Jay-wk9xj]

This song- particularly that killer solo- made me want to be a musician... wish came true.....thanks Aldo..

Most aged vocalists I’ve heard trying to do their old songs that they did when they were younger sound…..challenged. I’ve got to say that Aldo Nova still sounds just as good as he did back in the 80’s!! I was and still am a huge fan!

[@jimmymac63]

I was 18, stationed in Germany with the Air Force at the time jammin to this song...along with now ROCK CLASSICS. This was my real first taste of the modern Rock of that era. Years later, being a retired US Marine now, I still jam to these old tunes. I cannot get away from Aldo, GnR, Van Halen, Flock of Seagulls and others. The songs I remember most from my time over there was this song, Mickey, I'll Wait (VH), Radar Love, I Ran Away....WOW, Thanks Aldo....

[@spartanmoon]

I was 11 when this song was released and even at that age, I was FLOORED by his voice and incredible guitar solos overlapping eachother....BEST guitarist EVER!!!

I was 17 when this song came out, and for some reason the one enduring memory I have was walking into a teen club (I was a couple of months shy of my 18th and at that time drinking age was 18 in Louisiana) and this song was blasting out the stereo. Loved it ever since.

Merci beaucoup ... ça fait du bien de vous revoir!

I'm guessing, back in the 1980s, Aldo was certain leopard print would NEVER go out of style, so he bought bolts and bolts of it. Thank goodness he held on to it for this occasion! :-) Kidding!
