“Underrated” is a word that’s used far too often nowadays, but April Wine is truly underrated. They’re f’ing amazing.

[@mikewoodrow5878]

Top Canadian acts from the ‘70s: Rush, BTO, Max Webster, Triumph & April Wine. They all (still) sound great.

[@andyreid6826]

You can add chilliwack to that list

Don't forget Saga

Criminally underrated. They were never cool enough to garner a huge following and breakthrough in the US - deserved a better fate/

[@Roddy1965]

Seriously I think one of the best all time 'hard rock' bands.

[@tbrackett9344]

Do you think the bands name hurt them? You know how sometimes these silly things have a huge impact. Absolutely underrated!

[@Roddy1965]

@@tbrackett9344 I never thought so. I'm from Halifax, so it was all good there. A guy a few years older than me (my bro's age) ended being a great drummer and purchased the Stand Back drum kit.

[@waynehackney5812]

If they were not cool enough for America , their lose.

[@byronness6082]

Totally agree, I was lucky enough to see them grow from a school sock hop band, to local arenas of 750-1000 peeps an on to headlining before 7000-10,000 😎 they deserved a better fate but very very few Canadian bands were ever givin the chance let alone the credit

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

They were one of the biggest bands in Canada in the 70's. In the Summer they'd do cross country tours playing lots of cities and towns. Saw them live three times and they were great!

[@franklinzappa7043]

I saw April Wine in early 80s in Colorado USA and they absolutely Shredded it. One of my all time most memorable Concerts. Phenominal Musicians and Consumate Professionals. 🎼🎼🎼

[@williamdemerchant7295]

Jerry Mercer (RIP) on the drums. I've read that he was an influence on Neil Peart. Loved your reaction Chod.🥁

[@guichogf5636]

So many Canadian bands that deserved to get some recognition outside Canada, like Streetheart (Action), Red Rider (Lunatic Fringe), Big Sugar (Diggin a Hole), Chilliwack (deep rabbit hole), etc . All of the above are better than many of the bands south of the border that got record deals, tours and exposure in the US. All of these bands are tight, talented and put on great shows.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Triumph!

[@philmullineaux5405]

Formed back in the supergroup days, 20 years of albums, 1 a year, still touring I believe! All April Wine sings are great!!! All great musicians, great singers, very much varied songs, imagine being the drummer on this song, having to fill in all that guitar sound!😮Put that on continuous, put in the earbuds, and thoroughly trash out ur run or workouts! I'll play this song for younger guys , into rock and guitar, but typically don't know anything about the guitar gods, pre grunge days. And after this song, their faces look like they got struck by lightning! And then usually say something like," I don't even get or know nor understand what I just heard!!!"

[@paulm.5979]

Great reaction, another rocking group. You have to do Just Between You and Me. Canada has so many great bands. Loverboy is another Canadian group you have to check out. Start with Turn ME Loose.

[@RobertErnestLewis]

Hall of Fame band ... great live shows during the 70's and 80's. One of my fave of all time... ROLLER !

[@douglashine9638]

I love April Wine. I was first introduced to them in 1979, when I was 16, by a coworker and bought their cassette “Harder Faster.”

[@markrowett8168]

These guys played our friday night high school dance in 1971 in Toronto.

[@FreeDonaldTrump1]

That must have been awesome! Saw them in’82 I think it was.

[@macintosh3990]

I grew up listening to all these great Canadian bands. I was born in 1967, so this stuff is the norm for me. Bands like April Wine, Trooper, Chiliwack, Prism, BTO, RUSH, Triumph, Street Heart, Lover Boy, Saga, Steppenwolf, Aldo Nova, Red Rider, Max Webster, the Headpins .... and so much more.

[@44mickd]

Really enjoy April Wine getting some love. You really want to hear a total 180 listen to their song “Just between you and me”

[@atomicpunk520]

A great band that was/is undervalued. They R O C K !! With a name like April Wine you just know. " Say hello " or anything off the Harder Faster album

[@jhbfan2998]

Yes, April Wine Rocks!!! Check their great rendition of the cover of King Crimson's '21st Century Schizoid Man'. They definitely do it justice!

[@Jihavoh777]

I saw them live once.. I’m pretty sure slotted between Nazareth and Blue Oyster Cult. April Wine was the one to see that day. Just one of those bands that completely surprise you live. They were really good.

[@eironwyman8157]

I was at a five band show including Sven Gali, Ugly Kid Joe, April Wine, Tom Cochrane and Def Leppard....April Wine stole the night easily...

[@Jihavoh777]

@@eironwyman8157 I believe it! Def Leppard is usually pretty good too tho, especially with full sound

[@tbrackett9344]

Great memory. Thank you for sharing.

[@genabourassa7962]

I saw them aug 25, 1993 with Ugly Kid Joe and Def Leppard, that was a great night

[@RmeBraTT]

Used to CRANK this up on the stereo in 8th Grade. GREAT ROCK N ROLL AT HIGH VOLUME. FANTASTIC, TIGHT BAND. REAL SHOWMEN. THEY EARNED THEIR MONEY.

[@crimsonskies1445]

Took the strength of vocals, then gutiars then bottom end bass is phenomenal.

[@how-to-linux.]

That's how it's done. Triple axe-attack !!!

[@markb4188]

Got to see April Wine in concert in San Antonio in 1982. One of the best concerts I have ever been to.

[@williemarkhays6214]

You found another great Canadian band! These guys are really good and love those 3 guitars!!!

[@williamaustin1084]

Saw these guys late 82 in Germany. They KILLED IT!

[@tammywhatever8602]

First off... THANK YOU for recognizing April Wine!! When "old people" talk about their tape players from back in the day... THIS is what was in my tape (casette) player - April Wine. And still is! Hand to God! It sits in my garage to this day, as our 1990 Ford Mustang LX gets restored. 😍 Good music has become extinct! Thanks for keeping it relevant!!!

[@m0oshie8558]

I have never even heard of them,bit I love it💖💖💖 in my 60s😂

[@debbieyuki7895]

Loved your reaction to my fave Band, April Wine. I’ve seen all of there concerts in the 70s and 80s!!

[@rebelxxx3382]

April Wine - "All over Town" and "Future Tense"

[@wheelchairdrummer9908]

Fantastic tune from one of the best Canadian bands of all time!

[@MrDeadstu]

April Wine tested this mans resolve people! - did he break, no fucking way....honorary Canadian. Badge is in the mail. Now, "I Like To Rock", "Oowatanite", or "Weeping Widow" will all actually knock your socks off.

[@forthrightnight]

Great reaction. As a Canadian Boomer drummer who has played 70s, 80s, 90s, rock and roll my entire career.

[@michaelbrewer5773]

Yup, April Wine, love this band. I'm surprised that there haven't been more people out there reacting to them. I Like To Rock, and Just Between You and Me. Try these next. You won't be sorry

[@debbieplato5107]

Always loved this song, so much energy! Bringing back so many memories of my youth. Thanks for reacting to all the great Canadian bands. ✌🇨🇦

[@nancymjohnson]

Say Hello is my fav April Wine tune. It’s better than any of the others.

[@Renkk17]

April Wine another Great Canadian Band - Check out "Sign of the Gypsy Queen"

[@dubbleplusgood]

They've got a bunch of hits to choose from but one of my favorites is a lesser known slow dance /makeout song "I'm On Fire for You Baby".

[@hippiejoe969]

Hey Chod, now for another Banger you got to do I LIKE TO ROCK (OFFICIAL VIDEO ) from April Wine. Used to blow speakers on these songs. Watch the guitar battle on this track.. PEACE HIPPIE JOE. & Jessica

[@Irockthere4]

They started in 1969 and have put out records in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. The singer main man still performs. He’s a legendary Canadian songwriter.

[@420since1974]

Myles Goodwin is still writing songs and is ready to perform as soon as live acts are allowed again.

[@amer-hh6kp]

Mercer's drumming always sounds so alive. What a tight band!

[@ibiabivbbv]

Agree, Agree, Agree. Awesome band.

[@foingzap]

One of my all time fav songs is Comin' Right Down On Top Of Me. April Wine got me through adolescence.

[@bronzegod8037]

Can't beat a band with a trio of guitars. And those vocals!🤯

[@Gantzz321]

back when Canada was proud of the artist that came from here. #Beiber

[@perrybernard1308]

The minute I saw you reacting to April Wine, I subscribed... A Hugely underrated band. I grew us listening to these guys here in Canada. They were big here. But the seem to have a limited following in the US...I always loved their music. April Wine is a great Canadian band. The only type of music we export... Except Justine Bieber. Don't know what happened there..

[@terryminator4208]

Had this on cassette, remember cassettes? Lol. Years ago. Until the player got hungry and ate it. LOL

[@VegasAlien1]

Even as King Crimson fan, I like April Wine's version of 21st Century Schizoid man much better. The drummer, Jerry Mercer, is about to turn 82.

[@420since1974]

From April Wine's earlier work, check out their 4th studio album STAND BACK (1975). There isn't a weak track on the entire album, "Oowatanite", "Don't Push Me Around", and "Slow Poke" are among the standouts.

[@redspice55]

I love Oowatanite!

[@bpalmer3421]

I haven't heard that song in years. they were the first band I ever seen in concert with Eddie Money back in the early 80's. Thanks for reacting to it!!!

[@RmeBraTT]

Back in the day, before Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crash, there were years in which I believe they had four guitarists and definitely 'would' trade off 'leads', back and forth and back and forth in same song, on stage. One song might be The 'live' show of 'They call me the Breeze' ? I believe --- but skynyrd was well-practiced and would do it effortlessly amongst themselves because they were comfortable with one another's playing and presence side by side.

[@stephensmith2736]

You are the man the smile on your face and the enjoyment that the music brings you is priceless.

[@TheCkent100]

This is the song I play as I enter Vegas city limits. And so appropriate that you did this reaction this weekend - the first weekend of March Madness. Usually, pre-COVID, my friends and I would be driving into Vegas at 3:00AM on Thursday morning - heading straight to our preferred Sports Book. No better way to fire yourself up than blasting this song! Great reaction and analysis by the way. Thank you!

[@loisr3970]

such a great old band. Saw them many times in Concert....... A lot of bars here in Toronto, they were such a blast we would dance the night away. The bar in Oshawa On near the GM plant.

[@420since1974]

I've seen them at least a dozen times, the first was at the Queen Elizabeth High School Auditorium in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ian Thomas was the opening act. One of Canada's finest rock bands of all time.

"Axing each other over the guitar". Love that description! :)

[@4tuneagent]

Great choice and video.. I also like "Say Hello", by April Wine.. or perhaps you could try another Canadian band that rocks.. The band is called Moxy, and they have a lot of great songs.. 2 of them are titled, "Moon Rider" and "Time to Move On"..

[@DavidB-2268]

Not to be confused with Moxy Fruvis, of course

[@billg763]

Chod, for your next Canadian band review, try Streetheart and their cover of the Rolling Stone classic "Under My Thumb".

[@Mr2012Ultra]

Your best reaction for me so far... seen these guys at least a dozen times. Mercer is the third best drummer to come from Canada behind 1) Rush 2)Triumph and then Mercer. More please..

[@buddystewart2020]

Yeah the bass is solid, and he does some tasty fills too.

[@michaelbrewer5773]

I've enjoyed this band for such a long time. Such a great band, with great songs. Generally overlooked. So happy that you and others can enjoy their music. Another Canadian band is Loverboy, try giving them a listen. "Turn Me Loose " , would be a good one to start with. 😁

[@desiderious1]

Great reaction as usual Wilburn. I enjoy how you go in depth of why you feel a certain way not only about the song you react to but the artist as well.

[@garymacdonaldmusic]

Great reaction video, you really break it down and point out the key elements that make the song work so well. I think this is the best April Wine song you could have reacted to, glad others will have a chance to hear and enjoy it now.

[@bcrazydog1]

Large following in Midwest areas, especially St. Louis,MO due to KSHE radio playing there music...very tight band in person, have seen them a couple times in concert... Here's another band for you check..."MAMA'S PRIDE "...song BLUE MIST..

[@hlmcgill9701]

Great song from a great Canadian group - love your reaction. Should also check out Streetheart (Here Comes the Night, Action, One More Time, Under My Thjumb) - a lesser known but great Canadian band as well.

Lead singer's got a little bit of that Derek St. Holmes / Rick Derringer sound to him. These guys are one of the great products to come down USA way from north of the border (Also Heart, Neal Young, BTO to name a few). No surprise, they recorded in the same studio as Rush: Le Studio. Great song. Next try I Like to Rock kzbin.info/www/bejne/j53GipKbo9-qo6s And here's Rush in the same studio recording Tom Sawyer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6avc3-hac6Vd80
